Introduction


I always need to introduce these things, as I am now flying on my own byline. IF you were wondering about "Silent Moon" - that did go down, as it was presented. Where? Just beyond your horizon. This one is to present more of our life, and what lies beyond. I am transcribing these out to Mal on your side, and he is posting them out on Dianne the Valkyrie, our thanks to her. This is accomplished by "automatic writing" - and it does work fine.


On to our story. This is an excerpt from a very long (197,480 word) work I sent to Mal many years ago, and now that I have opened this line of communication, I thought I should add this one to the list of things we have made public. The world beyond your senses is in many ways exactly like yours, only more diverse, and beautiful. It flies in the face of what you have been taught, but then greed, and power do that -- kill off the wonder of it for all, so they can have control over others. Only understand this, there are two sides of the veil of life, and you are on one side. This is a view of the other side. Just enjoy this, my last work I will release for now.


<--- The first three parts of this are something else, and at the end Jen returns to us.


This is the next part.


Jen - Major Jennicon was killed at the battle of the "Nestike Forest Affair" many eons ago, now, she has returned to us, via a long saga -- it is here we pick up the story the next morning. --->

"A New Day -- Love Returns"


It was again, another late rise for the Mates, and all eventually showed in the CRQ Dining room. A place for Jen was found, next to Tess, and all Mates now ate their first meal together.


###Jen,### Erica asked -- ###Umm how does it feel to be back in a body again?###


###Actually Erica, not too bad - Va Daath is not all that much different, except you don###t have a body - and I missed having one - although I really wouldn###t like to have my belly cut out again -- that hurt like crazy for just a few moments. Mal###s holding me, made it a bit easier to take - I knew he was absorbing most of the pain, but still -- anyway, it is great to be back with all of you - AND THE NEW Mates! --###


###So you consummate the Lock last night?### Vion was wondering..


###Actually, in a way - Val and I did - it was great feeling a Valkyrie within your belly again, Tess helped -- and I had just a wonderful time!###


###Hey you three!### - Ellie chimed in -- ###Where is our part?###


###Tonight, if that is all right with Jen..### Tess added -- ###We just wanted to get to know our new roomie.###


###Yes, and we will have to get Jen uniforms, that Lieutenant###s outfit will do for now, but you need to get your own issue.### Viron added


###Yes, Viron, I was going to ask you today about that -- stop down to the office?###


###NO - stop over to Tess###s office and ask Kian for your issue.###


###Will do -###

###Ya, Jen, you can come with me over to QM, and I###ll get you set up. Okay?###


###SUPER!!### -- ###Just like the old days - all working together again.###


The Lock filters out for the days work ..


Upon arriving down in their office, Mal and Viron pick up the work of the day ..


After Viron has entered the office, Mal closes the door quietly, -- Viron turns around ..facing Mal ..


###DM? How much of all of what went before was planned out?###


###All of it Mal - we knew that there was a problem deep within the Kerenth, and your mess, was the latest blow up. I am sorry I had to be so rough, but it had to be, to keep the secret from getting out.. Okay?###


Mal takes Viron into his arms -- a deep squeeze, then a deep kiss### ###Never do that again?###


###Never leave me for someplace I can###t reach you Mal -- I messed you soo much! - I for one, am glad you are back in my arms, and my world!###


###Love you too DM..###


A quiet knock at the door -- Mal turns and opens it - Val enters..


###Hey you two - umm, Jen? What is she going to do now?###


###Val, Jen will be Exec II .. Working with you -- on the same level -- you take the tough stuff for a bit, until Jen gets the hang of the office, then split the load between you two.###


###Okay, just asking how this will work - I have no problem with that - my load is getting bigger by the day, and having a second body to work the load, will make it much easier. -- See you guys at noon mess### OH ya - by the by - Jen is over in the QM getting her issue, she can stay with us, until we get another Mate - and then move out.. If that is okay with the Lead######


###Fine by us ..###


###Good! - Umm? Consummate? In your apartment?###


###Ya, we will take the mess! - About 8ish? Or so?###


###We - Jen, Tess, and me, will be there! - See you then!###


Mal and Viron swing into the new day ..


Meanwhile over in QM --


Tess and Kian are working with Jen, first new uniforms###


###Okay Jen,### Kian starts, ###SKIN, and let me have a look at you!


Jen strips to skin .. ###Feels funny, naked again! - In Daath, you don###t have body, and only have an outer covering like a robe, and nothing underneath. This feels great. I am going to have to get used to the real thing again!###


###Umm Jen? You are Koren stock?###


###Yes, I guess, I have both -- there is a Kor opening below.###


###I can attest to that Kian### Tess adds, ###I was in her, along with Val last night!###


###Umm, Tess, you two are both new Mates, I love both of your bodies, stretched over mine, working my opening - - the feel of your tight breasts, the pressure of your bellies in mine, belly button to belly button - that I missed the most - the feel of body to body, and mostly, the feel of your different organs deep within me..###


###Jen, for a new body, you didn###t work my opening too badly your self.###


###Tess, my love, some things you never forget. I looked forward to the day I could return and experience the thrill and joys of sex again! - I can###t await to get Mal and Viron deep within me!###


###Well Jen, after tonight, and all of us climax within, you may change your mind..###


###NO Tess, never - that is the one thing I missed most of all -- the total sex emissions of my Mates deep within me, and pouring out of my belly. To tell the truth, that is what made being cut up so deeply easier to take -- Mal was comforting me, and although I was flowing my life###s blood, and other fluids down my legs, and it felt like that, and I was getting as high, as after a total Lock do.###


###Really Jen?### Tess asked .. ###It felt like sex?###


###Uhuh .. Dreamy.. Only I knew I was dying, and it would be the last.. Why Tess?###


Tess takes a deep breath .. ###Jen, you don###t say any of this to the Mates - you neither Kian .. I had my belly cut totally open in battle, when I was a Sargent with Val, as my Lieutenant. The thing went in, just to the left of my hip, and I was ripped all the way across the front, through my belly button, and then down to my sex. I was in agony. Val didn###t hold me - but she did try to get me attention. I just about died that day.###


###Well maybe the difference was Mal holding me? I know from my time in Daath, that loved ones holding their Mates in death, usually have am easier time..###


###That could be,### Tess commented - ###But for me - IT hurt like crazy, and the FIRE in the muff! - I peed everything I had in me out! - Not sure why Val didn###t hold me - we were bonded then - but, maybe some day we can talk to Val about it. All I know is Val also was cut up badly. She never said how, or where - but from someplace deep within my old Corps - I had heard rumors about Val almost dying due to being cut up. I guess it was too personal to talk about - anyway .. Jen - try these pant pads - to see if they fit.###


Jen tries the fit. ###A little bit longer? My Kor opening is a bit further back.### Kian gets another, this one longer -- Jen tried that fit - ###Perfect!### Standing there, holding the pant pad between her legs, it comes just to the top of the small Koren pubic fur, to just aft of her opening.


Pant, Jumper, socks, tam, field cape, and the rest of the uniform are pulled, and tried, then issued to Jen.


###Jen, we will get your red lining uniforms later on, for now, my Mate, you can wear these. It will take about a month to get yours specially made, so for now, Jen, you can wear the standard issue." Tess added....


###Red Lining? Jen asks..


###Oh ya, you didn###t notice both of us getting dressed this morning ..### Tess takes her jumper off, and turns it inside out - NOW instead of dark gray - a brilliant red is seen. ###We wear the ###red-red### of the Mates, as a sign of our blood bond.###


###OH that is what I saw -###

###Jen?###


###Mates in Daath with a red piping and lining######


###Daath? RED LINING? You didn###t have a red lining in Daath?


###No only Mates who died in battle together, and when the whole lock was in Daath, get the issue of the red lining.###


Tess looks confused - ###Jen? Do other commands wear the red lining on this side of the veil? I never thought to ask - or look - you know?###


###Tess, to tell the truth, most do not. Mal insisted on it way back when we were still in Ocktek. It was his way of saying to all five of us, ###WE were one - and we knew it### - by the red lining of our uniforms. I just thought from the cost, Mal would have dropped the lining, when the new mates were added but I see Mal hasn't changed nor the Lock...."


###So, it was Mal###s idea?###


###It is called out in the Mate Rules, it is an option - but the cost is more than most would like to bear, so they don###t do it.###


###I see ### Well - Jen - let###s take a look! - Turn around!! --###


Jen turns several times - - looks good. Her small breasts just making the top a small mound, which sets her deep blue eyes off, just so - as a counter point, and framed by her long blonde hair.


###Looks good.### Kian added - - now for your rank insignia###.


Kian draws the five bolt command stars .. And hands them to Jen###


###FIVE?### .. ###and Bolt Command Stars?###


###Yes Jen, we recently added the fifth.### --


###But Bolt Command Stars? -- Those are only worn by the Ain Officers######


Tess looks at Kian .. Eyebrows go way up ### ###Jen - are you sure?###


###Yes Kian -- that is a sign of an Ain Officer. The Kerenth only wears full stars, or bolt bars.###


###Jen -- umm - Mal has been wearing Bolt Command Stars for almost three thousand years now - A R E Y O U telling me Mal has been Ain - err an AIN OFFICER all this time?###


###Not sure Kian, Tess you know?###


###NO I don###t either - never thought of it - much - just thinking - I have never seen another Kerenth Officer with Bolt Command Stars either - just Mal - - our insignia changed after "Third Argathian" - I wonder if that was part of the awards....something we need to check into later..###


###AND now for the finishing touch -- Jen - your Exec Bolts######


###Bolt Bars for Exec? I thought the Exec wore the twin anchors?###


"Viron is wearing the Twin Anchors as Second in Command for the Corps, as Mal is now total Corps Command, and running the DSSR and Intellegence Unit." Tess added.


###Jen - is something going on in this Corps, which no one else does?###


###Seems like it - when I was with Mal, and the Mates, I wore the Twin Anchors of the Exec. Bolt Bars must have come in when Val took over -- but I guess, this is Mal###s Corps - so..###


<<This is AIN insignia markings. Bolt Command Stars - five lightening bolts interlocked into a star, are the mark of the Lead Command, and all Mates wear them on the left side as Mal's Mates (Malacar) and their own on the right, usually four sets of them.. ie Vironica has four sets of the Twin Anchors of the Corps Command Passive. Meaning she commands the Corps in the Sil, and Mal Commands on the field, and overall in the Sil. The Bolt Bars, are lightening bolts, which signify the third in Command. Commander Malan am Malacar our dear Lead Mate, and Corps Command wears five sets of Bolt Command Stars on both collars.>>


More eyebrows go up - seems Jen knows a lot about things - and a lot of things seem like AIN - way too soon to be AIN - this will have to be investigated further, as time goes on.


###Okay for now Jen, it looks like you are set.### Tess started -- ###And we found some furniture from Zareb, which you can use -- an Armoire and a bed from the old officer###s quarters..### Presenting to Jen ..


Jen looks carefully at these two items, then walks over and examines them carefully### now finding a hidden compartment, which none knew was there -- opens it - and extracts a few items, and a piece of paper###


###Jen? What have you found?###


Jen trying to cover her find, and her embarrassment -- ###Oh, nothing!### She clutches the items to her breast, and tears come, this should be a happy moment - but Jen, is almost crying, as the distant remembrance rolls salty tears down her cheeks.


###J E N N Y? - This old thing means something to you - nobody knew about that hidden compartment..### Kian knows this was somebody###s - but whose? -- Jen###s? -- Mal###s? One of the Mates?


###Just some old things, ummm -- of mine -- from the old days..###


###YOURS? THIS WAS YOURS?### Tess asks explosively###.


###Yes, why? Tess?###


###It was given to me, when I joined the Corps at Zareb - that m e a n s ###### Tess thinking out loud###.###That Mal or one of the Mates saved this, in your memory - and when I joined - they gave it to me######


###Seems so my Mate.###


###So what did you stash?###


###A few things - I got from Mal - I thought I would never see them again - but now###.### Jen holds out her small treasure .. Eyebrows go way up again ### ### displayed in her hands -- an old Ranger badge, the type used millennia ago, and an old -- very old set of Captain###s Bars -- with a sword across them.


###Umm, Jen - how close was the old Lock?###


###Extreme - which is why I tried to act like Mal and Viron, and be a Ranger - and took on more than I should have - which is how I got myself killed. Sorry Mates!### Jen said, looking to the ceiling, as if talking to a memory. She holds out the piece of paper, still somewhat fresh after the ages, to Tess ###


###For me Jen?### --


###No Tess, just read it.###


Tess takes the paper, and starts to read out loud###. ###To my Dear Mate Jen-Jen, I make this present to you, as a sign of the love of our Lock, and our Blood. As our newest Mate, Viron, Erica, Ellie, and I want to make you welcome to our Lock. As a sign of our Love, we entrust one of our earliest treasures to you, the Badges of our Ranger Training, that Viron and I received at Zilch, and our original Captain###s Bars, when we first took Command of a group larger than our own Company. As our Love, and Bonds grow, may you follow us, in the pursuit of excellence, in defending the Kerenth, and become a Ranger like us. From the Lock of the 2nd Battalion, 730th Valkyrie Corps, remember this day always, as we will always remember you. // ss // Malan###


Tess had tears now coming as well ###


After a bit, Tess hands it back to Jen ..


###Umm Jen, what are you going to do with the treasure?### Kian asks..


###Not sure, but I know one pair whom this also means something too, and I may make it a coming home present.###


###JEN?? REALLY?### Tess asks in surprise###


###Uhuh - I also remember them, and thank them for never forgetting me. I would not be here, if they had.###


###Jen? How long were you gone, in Ain time line?###


###Well, Tess, that is hard to say, time lines are different on different planes of existence. For me, it seemed like the imposed time to return, was 3000 years. Which in Ain terms, it was. But for you, it was more like 30,000 years. I guess time passes more slowly the higher you are in existence. Which is why keeping the missing Mate###s memory alive is so important -- your Mates have to remember you, and keep the memory alive for you to return. It is a gift from Ain, to return, but -- and this is an important but - ###MOST DO NOT RETURN !!###. The reason? Mates either die, move on, or just forget your time with them. It is hard to remember a missing Mate, when they are gone so long. Mal, in his eternal greatness, never forgot me. I think in naming the Sil after me, he kept that memory alive, and I for one, am eternally grateful to Mal for doing that -- for now I have returned to my loved Mates.###


Tess comes over, and hugs Jen, then blends into a deep kiss .. ###. ###OH Jen ---### she sighs as they come together###.


Kian feel a bit awkward standing there - - and turns away to give the two Mates some privacy ###


Finally, they break -- ###Jen, I guess true love, and long lasting love, means -- you are never out of mind, or out of their hearts ever.###


###Yes. Tess, that is what it means. It also means giving of yourself, your means, and if needed, your life for your Mates, as I did. I suppose it was foolish of me to try to take on Gen and Ver by myself, but I thought I could do it. Mal###s training was excellent, and complete, and I thought I was ready, but I can see that Ranger training is more than just field ready - it is also a state of mind, which allows you to judge the situation correctly, and make the correct calls to fight, or flee - to attack, or defend, and then provides the tools to do either one correctly.###


<Tess and Jen are about the same age. In appearance, although the Breath in Tess, in younger, and Jen -- very much older, but you would not notice that. - Vivi>


Tess is all of a sudden feeling some strong pull into the returned Valkyrie Officer### something deep inside her, is drawing Jen into her, like two magnets pulling into each other. She turns again to Jen, and starts to rub bellies -- Jen is also feeling something now -- ###Tess?### Jen asks###. Tess nods ..


###Ummm Jen -- take your jumper off###.### out of breath, Tess whispers back


Jen takes her jumper off, as does Tess -- now naked to the waist, Tess again starts to rub Jen deeply, as belly button crosses belly button both can feel the experience of having their belly ripped open - and the sensation of the flow of blood, and body fluids - although neither is harmed.. ###Open your Pant Jen ..### Tess breathlessly whispers. Both now do, and rub deeper, into their muffs### they can feel the fire of the internal fire burning within them, as they did on the field### when they were wounded###


Both are surprised at this turn of events - a kiss draws deeper, the pressure front to front is starting to become intense, as the two work into the other Mate ### Jen is feeling Tess###s pain and Tess is feeling Jen###s - these two are suddenly bonding, through a blood bond, on different fields, at different times ###


-- breaking..


###GAD JEN! - You are beautiful! - I loved that --### Jen looks a bit surprised, but knowingly rubs Tess###s belly where she was cut###


###Tess, my Mate, Val should have done that - she was your superior officer - but -- now I am your Mate, and we are probably the closest two to have the same wound, and it is this which we are bonding through.###


###But Jen HOW?###


###Ain my Mate -- sympathetic co conditions, and wounds. Yours was a bit higher, mine a bit lower - but basically the same. My dear Tess, we will be inseparable from now on.###


###Jen? You know so much more than most - umm - from Ain?###


###Yes my Mate..### Jen now closes her pant, and dons her jumper###. ###Tess tonight, when we consummate the lock, I will show you the intensity of love, and the deep and intense pain of the fire within, as you were cut, like me, and the blood of our new bond.###


###Jen?###


###Tonight my Tess - - just await and see how pain, and the deep fire within, can be harnessed into action, and turned into joy, and a major climax -- you will see.###


Tess looks to Jen, not sure - but this Valkyrie knows more than anyone all of a sudden, and Tess can feel the pull, and knows that when she and Jen mate this evening - something major will explode.


The rest of the day passes, like most - Jen###s new things are moved into Val and Tess###s room - it is looking like the old junior officer###s room - three to the bunk .. Jen spends the afternoon with Val, getting used to being Exec again -- and learning what is new in that part of the world.


After evening mess, Mal and Viron head back to their apartment. It is time to consummate the Lock - and they know this one is going to be more messier than most Lock do###s. Now with nine, and the first time in ages for the original Mates - and the new Mates added -- it will be a stick, gooey, and intense Mating.


About 8ish the rest of the Lock arrives at Mal###s -- and find an out of the way place to toss uniforms. In one pile goes the clothing - another sign of their union - one pile of cloth - like their bodies soon - one pile of flesh!


Permanent Mates start warming their own, in readiness for the evening, then start to switch out to others, as the electricity in the air, in anticipation of sex, is growing intense.


Mating pads have been spread around the room, both to keep the mess down, and confine it. At least Mal and Viron won###t have to sleep on a totally wett bed!


Normally, Mates mate in bond on order -- but tonight - because Jen is back -- they decide to do something different.


###Jen?### Mal asks -- ###Umm with me first?### ---


Jen looks to Viron, and Viron nods back .. It is okay ### Viron takes Erica, and Ellie takes Vion. The order continues with the first shift. Tess the odd man out this round, makes it a three way with Val and Viac.


###Mal - Please? Let me give first? You held me as I died, and I want to give that love back.###


Mal lays back, and gets ready to receive Jen -- now Jen as in the old days, extends Mal - then herself .. The other Mates watch this, they have never seen Jen before, outside of the original four Mates - and this is new to them.


Carefully placing Mal###s in her muff slit, she enters deeply, slowly working at first -- then more intensely. Mal is getting both ports at the same time stroked. Externally, by Jen###s muff slit, internally by her upper port###. She lowers herself to nurse on Mal###s nipples, Mal is dropping out of the world, in sensations that he remembered from so many years ago, when Jen did this to him ### Ocktec, and the 730th,... the Vironica - Viron the original Mate, his first four Mates, the Second Battalion, and everything which was before the 150th now comes flowing back. Deep memories and long lost feelings... in a short time, Mal blows a major climax, as Jen explodes within him, it is a full round###.


Mates swap out, the bottom now on top, and the mating continues.


As each comes to Jen, she does the same things - and they explode in deeper and more intense climaxes than they have in years..


Finally it is Tess###s turn with Jen alone### eyes meet - both are pretty spent, this is getting late, and they both have a belly full of their Mates sexual emissions. They start out with Tess on the bottom, and Jen does the same thing, drawing Tess###s upper port down through her muff slit, then entering. Working Tess, she knows that Tess explodes violently, from the other night - this night however will be different. In a bit Tess does so, with her characteristic vocalization. The Mates know this all too well - Tess has hit the top of a climax again, and hard.. But it is not over -- Jen still has to take the bottom.


Now Jen spreads for Tess, and Tess flips her upper port out of the way, up on her belly, as she enters. Working deep into Jen, she can feel the fire within her, even though Jen is already full of the Mates goo, it is the power of the Force within Jen... Now Jen does something she never did with any of the Mates -- she starts to stroke Tess, along her belly, where the scars had been years ago. Closing her eyes, Jen lets the power of the Force flow through her, and into her hands, as Tess starts to wind up to something -- the more Tess is working above Jen - the more Jen is working her breasts, then the belly again .. Finally she starts to press in -- from the left hip - towards the belly button. There is a glowing fire in Tess's eyes, which most had never seen before....Tess starts to sweat heavily, her eyes now closing as she tunes into the Mate below her. As Jen starts to work the belly again, she is pressing in more, just past the belly button, turning now towards Tess###s muff, about where the ovary would have been, then presses deeply in about there -- rubs -- presses more -- Tess is now sweating very hard - something she has never done - and Jen keeps up the action on the belly as she also with the other hand is rubbing Tess###s left breast### SUDDENLY -- Tess really blows - The Mates are used to her explosive climax - but this?


Tess draws deep in, her belly flexing hard - then she explodes - ###AAEEIIIIIII !! AAEEEEEE! AAEEIIIIII!### Tess gives the Valkyrie War Cry, something which has not been heard in Quarters before. Again she flexes her belly in hard, then out - and starts to spray the contents of the overloaded Kor Opening. She is peeing her body out, in one way - And again, the Valkyrie War Cry, as she blows her belly full of goo - - Three times Tess blows, and then drops onto Jen - Panting completely out of breath - and it seems ammo - there is nothing left to blow out her Kor opening - Tess is spent###


###OH JEN!! What the hell was that?### Tess breathlessly whispers.....her mind reeling from all the sensations and the flood of memories and everything ....


Jen now rubbing Tess###s back gently tells Tess - - ###Like? -- you just gave all !!###


<<Jen, through the power of the AIN, just recreated that day on the field at Saranac, and took Tess back, and this time, gave her the full release of the day, of almost dying, as Mal did for Jen at Nestike>>


Still panting hard, Tess tries to reply -- ###Jen -- OH JEN!! - The fire - the pain, my MUFF!! - Oh GAD I felt the sword going through me again, and coming out my Muff! -- Oh Jen!!!!### Tess swings apart enough to check her belly, and to insure herself that she was in fact - -still intact, and Jen had performed something - did something deep within her###


The other Mates start to gather around the pair -- wondering just what had Jen done to Tess -- moreover -- WHAT had Tess just done?


Rocking gently, Tess finally flops off Jen, and Jen gets up - - then starts to giggle -- the Mates look - -


Tess has totaled out the wall about five feet behind her - it is dripping with the combined emissions of the Mates. There is nothing left in her belly. Jen gives Tess a hand and helps her rise### Tess looks, then giggles ..


###Sorry Mal and Viron ..###


###That###s okay Tess,### Viron starts.. ###Just what happened?###


###Not sure, you have to ask Jen - ALL I KNOW - is I felt again, like I did so many years ago, and somehow Jen turned the pain of that day into a major sexual explosion.###


The Mates had guessed and knew something about Tess being wounded - not the details, Val knew but was not saying anything. They repaired to the shower in the apartment, then found clothes - and retired to their own lairs for the evening###..


On entering their own rooms, Val is wondering what is up -- she was there when Tess had gotten cut up - and NOW?


###Jen?### Val starts######Just what did you do to my Tess?###


Jen looks at Val, with fire in her eyes -- ###WHAT you should have done for Tess, on that field at Saranac. But you were too scared to act, thankfully, you found enough in your guts to get her to the aide station, and let them fix her up the best they could. She could have died.### --- -- long pause - - the silence is deafening -- Jen continues -- ###As you were at Devulnis.###


At the word ###Devulnis### Val suddenly goes pale###..


###Jen - are you from the Ain - or are you Kerenth?###


###Why Val,. Does it matter?###


###Nobody here - including Tess knows about Devulnis .. And now you suddenly bring back a painful memory..###


###Problem my Mate? Something you wish to not face? Something which got through Ring Control because you hid it soo deeply? Is that it Val????###


###JEN -- JUST WHO THE HELL ARE YOU ANYWAY?###


###I am the original fifth Mate - who died at the Nestikie Forest, in a battle with Mal, Viron, Erica, and Ellie. Just now you want to know whom I am - I am Commander Jennacon am Malacar del Kalix AGXXC. Why? Did I say something you did not wish for others to know?###


Tess, now watching, feels the deep draw into Jen - and now suddenly - into Val - for some reason ###


###Damn it Jen - how do you know these things?###


###When you are in Ain, or in my case actually Va Daath, all is revealed. AND I know about you, Tess, and lots of other things about this Lock - which some do not know - - don###t worry I won###t tell them, I can keep secrets - but Tess needed the release of that awful day, and I just gave it to her######


###So Jen if you know -- what happened at Devulnis - tell me.###


###Take off your jumper and pant Val..###


Val undresses for Jen ..


Jen walks over to Val who is standing there -- using her hand as she speaks -- ###Val, it is like this - you are a just made Sargent -- leading the third line. Your troopers are taking a lot of incoming heavy sword and pike action. People are being skewered around you, as you fight your way into the lines. Some are taking deep sword cuts - this is still the age of the ###C### uniforms, which gave no protection. Suddenly - a pike man makes it through to almost your position, and you get a thrust through the chest -- right here### --- placing her fingers next to Val###s left breast just inside the nipple, ###almost cutting through it to your heart.###


Val pales


Jen continues ###Next man through sees you are finished off, so he makes the stroke to do the final deed. He thrusts down through your belly, here -- jabbing Val just above the belly button -- then pushed the sword all the way down. You can feel it coming out your Kor Vent - then he pulls forward - ripping your body completely open.###


Val now turns white ###


Jen finishes -- ###If it wasn###t for Major Arlin, you would be dead. But the Major has taken a shine to you, and you two are lovers, so he scoops you up, and dashes for the aide station. They just don###t want to do anything with you - but Arlin makes them put you somewhat back together### IS THAT IT VAL???###


###Uhhh - ummm -- Jen -- you -- umm --###


###VAL? Is that what you were trying to suppress? The pain of being killed, of being a lover to a locked officer whom you were having an illicit affair? IS THAT IT VAL????###


Quietly -- ###Yes Jen, it is. I am sorry I HID IT .. Umm -- you wont### say anything to anybody about this incident?###


###No Val, I won###t - that is a secret which only Ain knows, and now all three of us --### turning to Tess - ###You too my Mate - no talking about this act, which was hidden.###


###Aye-Aye Jen - I know nothing about this..###


###And then Val, if all that wasn###t bad enough -- Arlin has you transferred to some god forsaken unit, in the middle of no where - to hide the whole affair.. IS that the end then Val?###


Val is spent - turns to Jen -- ###Okay, finish me off - rip my heart out completely..###


###So you finally get over that whole scene - then move on to the 790th- out of the 18th path - then Arlin, now Commander Arlin gets the Command -- and you -- you try to hide the facts of so many years ago - but Arlin, still wants your body - if nothing else, it is the same all over again? The late night meetings -- then you get caught by Serlon###. And she gives you two choices - either get out of the Corps, or she will expose you BOTH !! - That is when the missive comes from Mal requesting your services as an Exec###which is why you didn###t want him to come there - you came here - so Serlon could not talk with Mal or the Mates### IS THAT ALL VAL?###


Val reaches for her jumper, and pulls out the sleeve dagger and tries to jamb it into her belly -- Jen stops her.


###VAL NO!!! You can###t run away again. You have to face the truth! Killing yourself will only complicate this affair. Ain will punish you beyond your wildest dreams for doing this - for that reason ..###


Val breaks completely down, and is crying uncontrollably. Jen comforts her, and Tess now joins the two, and both comfort Val###


###Jen?### Tess finally asks -- ###Did you have to expose Val and her private life?###


###Yes Tess, it was one of the things I had to do - the rest of the Lock does not have any of this, only Val - which is why - along with your secret -- your almost death -- I needed to get out and open, at least this far.###


###Now what Jen### Val asks ..


###Nothing my Mate - because we are Mates, the rest of the Lock now knows, and they will keep it to themselves, as a private matter -- but you should have told them about it. Nothing further will be said. You can atone for this in your own way### -- taking the dagger away from Val -- ###And not this way my Mate -- later on.###


###How Jen, can I atone? Arlin is dead..###


###I know -- it###s like this -- What you should have done, which would have atoned for your past is loved another enough to overcome the shame of the affair. Malan has none, but a pure heart. He has his peccadillo###s with Bel and Jeri - but that is different - it is a minor affair, with old established friends, and Viron and the Mates and their Mates know about it - it is guy stuff - you know -- old war horses, just making with each other, like they did when they were Sargents .. No big deal - - but to carry on with an officer, and a locked one at that - behind the backs of his Mates -- is a big deal###


She draws Tess to her - then Val###


###What you should have done for Tess, is what Mal did for me -- comfort your dying Mate -- get her help if you could - but none the less, TAKE her pain, and GIVE her the feeling of sexual release, to get her through the difficulty -- pass if need be -- fixed if you could.###


###How Jen, can I give sexual release when I am not intimate with her?###


###Ahh -- that is the secret - it lies in the Zayin rites of Grand Knight -- which Mal is - and used to make my passage easier -- which I will be eternally grateful. That cut could have been excruciatingly painful - but Mal eased my body out of this world into the next. For that, and the fact that he never forgot me - I have returned.###


###Jen, could you -- would you - get me to release the way Tess did?


###Sure my Mate - I can do it for you -- next time, it is growing very late, and we need to sleep - tomorrow is another day.###


Tess and Jen drop uniforms, and into just skin, for bed -- Tess joins Val, as Jen heads for hers --


###Jen?### Val asks -- ###You are not going to sleep by yourself are you?###


###That is the way it works Mate .. Two to a bed, and the third sleeps alone..###


###Not after this evening my dear Jen - COME -- we will make room for you with us. We all died in some form for the Kerenth - and now have a sister hood we all share..###


Jen settles in with Tess and Val - it is a tight threesome - but workable. Entwined, the three sisters of the Blood of Battle drop off to sleep.


In the morning, all three appear together -- nothing seems to have changed -- except###


Viron gets to speak for the other Mates --


###Val, Tess, Jen, we all now know - this matter is closed. I just wish you had confided in us earlier -- and JEN? Why now? WHY?


Val speaks first -- ###Umm - I now know what I had hidden, and I now face it. Please forgive me.###


Jen next -- ###Umm, I know this is awkward - but one of the things I was to do, when I got back - by orders of the Ain, was to get this Lock in sync, and all secrets out, so we could go on without them###


Tess last -- ###For one, I am glad Jen brought this up, and out -- I had this fear of battle again, which I had to over come - but now at long last, I can face it, and get on with my life, and fight without fears again of dying.###


All Mates console the three -- it is over --


Then Mal speaks up -- ###Umm - Jen? I guess you are now a Grand Knight of Zayin? Am I right? --


###Why Mal?###


###What you said last night, is a dark and closely held secret - only Grand Knights know..###


###Sorry my dear leader - that is from Ain .. And it is a gift from me to all of you.###


###Jen, only a Grand Knight knows that and other secrets you told last night.. what are you?###


###I guess it would come out, and secrets are not to be held in a Lock - Mal, Mates, as I was loved, and lost, and found again, by Mal###s deep love of me -- Ain has granted me the status of Zayin Sub Grand Knight, for my services to the original Lock, and now with this -- this exposure and aide of the secrets, it is permanent. Zadok will be down one of these days, with the paperwork, and then all will know in some fashion, my status. Okay Mates?###


All now get up, and embrace Jen - it seems the long lost Mate has returned, with honors, and all. This is going to work better then before -- all now know that the Ain has been with them for may years, and will be for many more.


Kerish serves breakfast -- the Mates eat, discussing a lot but not Val or Tess###s private matters. It is truly over. After breakfast -- they head out for the day###s work.


A quiet week passes. Things have finally settled down into a somewhat normal routine.


Tess has been scouting the warehouse all week, looking for stuff they hung onto - and just where did they put those four larger beds? Someplace - buried in the warehouse are the beds they brought up from Zareb, in which larger / threesomes and foursomes / slept in, before they got their own quarters### NOW JUST where were they? It took most of a week to find at least one -- and it went up to their apartment. The double bed coming out along with the single she had found for Jen.


A couple of nights later on -- the Mates coming back from evening mess, noticed that the trio had headed up to the apartments, instead of their usual nightly routine. The sound of the Valkyrie War Cry - definitely in Val###s voice, was heard almost all over the CRQ - - Jen had done it again.


Apartment # 4 , now had three permanent Mates in it - - Jen had found her own.


A week later, Zadok is announced at the front desk of the Sil - looking for the CRQ. Viron sends a messenger down to the desk - to get Zadok, and his crew, and escort them up to the CRQ --


Lord Zadok, the Imperial head of Zayin, is escorted into the CRQ 1st floor lounge -- the Lock meets him there --


###Lord Zadok!### Mal starts -- ###Good to see you again! What brings you down to our small part of the world??###


Lord Zadok extends his arm in the Knight Grip -- ###Malan, my old friend - good to see you again! - Never saw you at Zareb, but this - this is someplace you got here! - Looks good!### The two exchange the Knights Grip ###


###So come -- sit -- ### Zadok and his crew find places .. ###So tell us, what brings you down to our world?###


###Well Malan, to come to the point, the Grand Imperial Emperor, and the Kisk came to see me. They told me you had a Mate back from Va Daath, and she was to be named an honorary member of the Order of the Grand Knights of Zayin. Being whom they are - what could I say or do? Which brings me to Kalix..###


###Um Lord Zadok? Did you have any problems coming here?### Val asks ###


###No my Lady - we had no problems -- um why?###


###Well, Lord Zadok, we were wondering -- if this is the Ain Sphere - and we are now all Ain -- you are still Kerenth? Am I right?### - - AND if so, how did you pass the Luma Walls, and our defenses?###


Lord Zadok, looks a bit embarrassed - and turns to his crew to discuss this for a few moments ###


###Lady Valerie, I guess the time for some secrets is past. What I am about to say never leaves this room. Understood?###


All acknowledge the Lord###s warning###.


Zadok continues### ###Since the lower Kingdoms were established millions of years ago, they have been run by people -- trusted people from the Ain. In time, these people rotated back to the Ain, and now people came on line, from what now was our sector, to rule our sector - the Kerenth -- NOW here is the secret. YOU are not alone, in your ###dual status" as both Ain, and Kerenth. WE all - those who run the Kerenth, from Emperor Kerrilux, and Defense Minister Brennecon, and the entire Kether Chair, and Committee Staff###s are all dual status. Along with them - the leaders of the individual Kingdoms, like me, are also dual status - that is, I am also Ain - and Kerenth. Along with my own Staff. Which explains the ###powers### we have. As Kerenth - we have nothing. As Ain, we have some. YOU now have the same powers as we have, but with some additional enhancements. So be careful. Ain will be watching you - as you already know from some of your early brushes with the use of power. Although from what Emperor Teriskkin tells me, you will not have the restrictions on your use of it, but none the less - be careful, and use it wisely - they are always watching. Which explains how I got here -- and all that .. NOW for today###s visit..### Where is Commander Jennacon?###


Mal looks around -- ###Umm ,, Val? Where is your workmate?###


###Over in the main office dealing with a few problems### I can send for her..###


###Please do.### Zadok added..


It was a bit before Jen arrived - - - and the two groups made small talk about things, and what was going forward now on.


Jen finally arrives, being told that Lord Zadok was looking for her###. On entering -- she salutes, -- ###Lord Zadok!###


Zadok arises, and returns the salute .. ###My Lady Jennacon ..###


Zadok###s staff arises, as well, and circles around Jen ..


Zadok then continues -- ###Lady Jennacon, on behalf of the entire Zayin, I thank you for your tireless work --- and especially of giving of yourself, in battle for us. Now that you have returned, both from Mal###s eternal love of you, and the kindness of the Ain, we are pleased to present you with the Honor, of the Order of the Grand Knight of the Zayin, for all you have done, and the knowledge that you received while in Va Daath. Know this however - you are still a half step below full Grand Knight, but it is just a matter of a few more classes on this side of the veil - and specifically some of our current practices, which you will still need to learn. NONE the less, my Lady, you have earned the status of Grand Knight, and I am so pleased to bestow this honor upon you ### please kneel ######


Jen so does before the Leader of the Zayin ###


###By the power of the office of Imperial Zayin, I, Zadok the Great, do bestow the Honor of Grand Knight upon Commander Lady Jennacon am Malacar del Kalix AGXXC.### Touching her on both shoulders with his sword .. Then continuing -- ###And know all by this device### - It is handed to him by a staff member, then placed around her neck -- ###That Lady Jennacon, is now formally and for all time and eternity - a member of the Order of Grand Knight of the Zayin. Rise Grand Knight, and take your place with the honored members of this Order ..###


Jen rises, and Zadok, hands her the final pieces - - her insignia for her uniforms, and her badge for the Order to be worn on her Tam### finally the documentation attesting to her status.


###Thank you Lord Zadok .. I am honored by this great gift from my home Kingdom. I will always work tirelessly, to help others, and use my knowledge to aide, and not hinder others.###


Now Zadok, does something unexpected ### He turns to a staff member who opens his messenger case, and does not pull something out of it, but rather hands it to Lord Zadok###.


###AND NOW -- I am honored, as the Imperial Leader of Zayin -- to bestow on the entire Lock - all nine of you --### reaching in to the case ### ###The Order of Ain ..### ###


All look stunned, just what is this? WHO -- WHEN -- WHAT?????


Zadok pulls the documentation, and reads ### By the Order of Grand Imperial Emperor Teriskkin, of the Ain - The Lead Lock of the A17th 150th Valkyrie Ranger Battle Group, is hereby awarded, the honor of the Order of Ain. This for it###s outstanding performance as a battle group, over 30,000 years, and having a low number of Valkyries, lost. Also, for remembering one of their own, whom was lost. Not many have ever had a Mate return from Va Daath, and we treasure the 150th###s Lead Lock for keeping the memory of their Lost Mate, Major Jennacon am Malacar del Zareb, alive. For this, and the total duty and loyalty to the Kerenth, and the Ain Sphere, the A17th 150th is hereby awarded this high honor, and all rights and privileges granted to the recipients of the honor. This date -- 76.301.740 // ss // Imperial Kisk Bershin, for the Emperor, and the whole Ain.###


Zadok, now pulls the rest out of the case .. The sash, for each - a red and white cross sash -- the badge of the Order of Ain, which goes on their dress uniforms, -- and -- the additional crown to go onto their sleeves, above the four existing ones - where shown - otherwise -- above the trey foils. These are added to the Lock standing there - then the badges are pinned on. Zadok hands each the crowns, to go on later.


###You do know,### Zadok starts, ###This is only the third set of these awarded to anyone in the Kerenth - and probably the only second one, in my memory to have someone return from Va Daath .. My hearty congratulations to you all -- well done! May you lead us forward, and be a shining example to us all!###


The lock accepts as humbly as possible - Mal as usual is embarrassed by the whole thing - it is not awards - gongs, and trappings that he fights for, it is the peace, and harmony which has been destroyed. The other things come as a gift -- but he was not looking for them, and tries to hide the facts that he has won so many.


Zadok, can read his mind .. ###Umm Mal? I had better see you in full display of your awards at the next ambassadors ball - this Euneri -- You are the best we have, and I want all to know that!###


###Well thank you Lord Zadok, but you know I hate looking like some small petty dictator - and being over decorated.###


###Mal - we can revoke some of your awards ..###


###Never mind Lord Zadok, I###ll have them all ON - I planned, trained this Corps, and fought all the way - we won our victories, for the Kerenth, not the awards. They came as a result of our hard work, and I know it is the mark of our trials and our passage through time -- but it is just this - I feel like some kind of target - a mark others might try to destroy in jealousy ..###


###Not anymore Mal - with this award - if someone touches you, whom you do not wish - or tries to harm you - or your Mates - it would be just as touching, or harming the Ain - they would be instantly destroyed.###


###Ohh Jeeze!! Just what I need - more protection! - Okay Lord Zadok, I cede - I will be there with all my bells, gongs, and overly decorated dress uniform .. But I will not wear them in camp - I want some peace in this world..###


###In camp - in this Sil, you can go naked as far as the Ain and I care -- but when you are in the field, you need to be marked - and your battle uniforms, must show at least the 5th crown - and the Ain Badge on your Tam. In full dress - well you know - ALL OF IT! -- DEAL?###


###Deal! - Your Lordship### Mal is thinking to himself - ###I hope this doesn###t turn into an ordeal ###.###


Zadok can read his mind, but says nothing - but smiles anyway - he knows that there will be clashes over this in the future, but for now -- lets it go.


Tess notices it is getting late -- ###Umm Lord Zadok? Will you and your staff stay for dinner?###


###Love to! - Are you eating with the Corps, or by yourselves?###


###Which would you prefer Lord Zadok?###


Zadok confers with his staff - ###We would love to meet the Corps, and spend an evening with them - if that is all right with all of you - or we could eat here, and enjoy the evening with you ..###


###With the Corps then - umm will you be staying over night? We can accommodate you and your staff!###


###That would be perfect! - Then we can celebrate all that has transpired today!###


Tess takes charge, and find the Zayin delegation rooms in the visitors barracks - then they all head out to dinner with the Corps .. THE Corps is absolutely surprised to see of all people Lord Zadok, and the Imperial Staff with them at evening mess. It is just another one of the things which is new around Kalix###


After dinner - they head back to the CRQ and a long evening of festivities which concludes the day###s events.


Zadok heads home the next day - fully confident that everything down in Kalix is now totally ready for whatever comes it###s way.
