I open the medical equipment and sift by means of it, searching for sutures, therapeutic salve, and a bandage. I’ve not ever skilled first contact with an ignorant species earlier than; that is new to me.

Not solely that, however the Heavenly Host has instructed us to obscure the reality.

“I’m an agent of the Heavenly Host,” I say.

“What’s that?”

Does she know nothing? Now that I consider it, she might have left her village rapidly sufficient that she didn’t get any Hyperborean transmissions.

“The power that has invaded your lands,” I say. “My mission was to observe any escapees into the swamp, and to return you to your rightful place amongst your folks.”

She scowls, her little forehead furrowing. “I don’t have any folks.”

I cock my head at her. “People are being moved to security inside angelic compounds as we communicate.”

“Yeah, these usually are not my folks.” Her eyes dart all the way down to her thigh, the place I’ve moved the provides. “What are you doing?”

“I’m treating your wound,” I say. “You have been mauled by a wild animal.”

“Don’t fuckin’ contact me,” she breathes.

“If I don’t clear this, you might die.”

“Then I’ll die,” she hisses.

I slender my eyes at her. “You’ll not.”

In a single fluid motion, I minimize the leg of her pants to reveal her pale pores and skin from slightly below the hip on her left leg. She screams in anger, however I maintain her again with my left hand on her shoulder as I clear the ugly wound. She thrashes in opposition to me, lastly going nonetheless and letting out brief gasps once I place a line of sutures over the wound. They’ve a numbing, euphoric impact—and I can sense that she feels it when her respiration slows.

The bandage goes on subsequent, clinging to her pores and skin. I enable myself a single have a look at her muscular leg—then I pull down a silken sheet and toss it over her, understanding at the very least that people have an overblown sense of modesty.

I…respect her.

It’s an uncomfortable feeling.

I’ve hardly identified people as something however servants, and the Boreans declare that they’re a primitive species in want of help…however this feminine fights me like a real warrior.

I’ve to confess she intrigues me.

“So what’s your plan?” she asks. “Heal me up after which give me to the…what—angels? I don’t fucking consider that for a second.”

I squat in entrance of her, my tail flicking throughout the ground behind me. “What are your doubts?”

“I don’t consider they’re angels,” she says. “I don’t consider that is the rapture, particularly now. In reality…I feel it is a goddamn spaceship.”

I click on my claws in opposition to my knee. “For all , your human ‘angels’ are extraterrestrials.”

“However they don’t have lizardmen working for them, until the kooks on the web have been proper this complete time,” she says. “You’re a fucking alien.”

People aren’t presupposed to be clever. They’re presupposed to be little greater than animals; that’s what the Hyperborean Empire has all the time stated.

However she is aware of what I’m.

And to me, she is unreadable.

Unknowable.

“It is best to get some relaxation,” I say. “You have been injured. I can draw a shower in the event you want to clear your self up—”
