Mesan’s Curse is watching us and me write in my journal. I’m feeling excited about meeting some people on the station. We took a shuttle to board the station. The station is rotating. It is very interesting. I’m feeling gravity in the shuttle. It is very interesting. I let go of my diary and watch it float toward the ceiling. Bruce caught it for me. I’m trying by best to write in here. It is very interesting to see the planetary station.
Love,

Dear Anne,
We entered the station and met and alien dressed in similar outfits as ours. The alien had a fish head with webbed hands. The fish being told us signing his name was Mainland who insisted we change into our wolf forms despite our protests. I could see that Mainland led us to an elevator after putting leashes on our necks in the wolf forms. The elevator arrived on a gray floor with gray hallways. He led the both of us to a door, which opened to show the war room. There were designs of the station on the walls. It was very interesting. Then I saw him, an old man in a wheelchair dressed in a gray outfit. He looked like he was out of it. He was mumbling some praise over and over. It was very weird. A Mesan’s Curse signed to us in our wolf forms, warning us. He told us about beings who did not like us as Amula. It is very weird. I felt an urge to touch the old man on the cheek in my wolf form. His hazel eyes seemed to be unfocused. Made me think he was blind which I’m sure he wasn’t. I saw he was a Human, like us. I touched his cheek and shock entered his mind. I could see there was a young man inside trapped in a block of ice. I tried to break it but I wasn’t successful. I found a box that was boarded up and opened it. Beams of light came out and shattered the block of ice. I found myself back in my body. The man stood up and he was clutching his head. I watched him.
Then he looked at me and said “Thanks I need that.”
A Mesan’s Curse gestured for Bruce to change his form to Human which he did and Bruce explained the man was called Teorjer which confused me as to how he was naming that man. Several of the others, aliens who appeared to be Highlanders, seemed to agree with Bruce. The Mesan’s Curse brought two people who were identified as King Sea and Ellison Donovan according to them. Donovan had a beard and mustache was wearing a red hooded robe and King Sea I saw was dressed in a medieval blue outfit. Teorjer got up from the wheel chair. Three Mesan’s Curse had to restrain him. King Sea looked at Bruce and I in my wolf form, with all blue eyes and there seemed have a recognizing look on his face. I wonder who he thinks I am. The Mesan’s Curse escorted the red and blue men out of the room. Teorjer stopped being mad and sat down in the wheelchair. The other races came in the room were humanoid deer, fish, and cat. There were aliens I didn’t recognize. Teorjer stared at us and he told us via a Mesan’s Curse interpreting that we seemed to be familiar to him. I shifted form to Human which Bruce and I had a sign language talk about telling them who we really are in our Human forms. We turned our backs and talked. A Mesan’s Curse told us in sign language it wasn’t time. So we told him Teorjer seemed familiar to us. Then Mainland came and escorted us shifting back to wolf in our wolf forms out of the room. He escorted us to a room across the hallway. The room was like a lounge room with sofa, chairs and a table. There was a window overlooking the garden. Mainland tried to sign to us. A Mesan’s Curse came by and interpreted. The Mesan’s Curse told us in sign language to tell him about our children. They closed the doors to the room. We shifted form and truthfully told him about our children. He wasn’t surprised. He told us that he saw that we resembled the three men, King Sea, Ellison Donovan and Teorjer. He had suspected this. I yawned. I couldn’t help it. He told us he’d escort us to quarters. We went down the hall to the elevator. The elevator passed several floors and reached a brown hallway. We went by several doors and reached a door. He rang the doorbell. There was a queen sized bed. He gestured us to go in. The door closed behind us. I sat on the bed and pulled out my diary and started writing. I’m tired. I think I’ll go to bed now.
Yawn

Dear Anne,
I lay down on the bed and passed out. I came to when I felt a Mesan’s Curse waking me up. He signed that there was a meeting in two hours and told me if I needed to take a shower now is the time. I took a shower. The water felt funny. It was yellow color. I have no idea what it is. After my shower Bruce took a shower too. I’m glad there is water here. I asked the Mesan’s Curse what the water was for didn’t know the answer, only shrugged. Then Mesan’s Curse asked me if I was Teorjer’s ancestor. I confirmed it. He wasn’t surprised when I told him that. I asked him where he got the idea. He told me I remind them of Teorjer. Ooh. We left the room to the elevator in our wolf forms while being led by the Mesan’s Curse. The elevator went up and took us to a hallway. The hallway was gray and followed the Mesan’s Curse to a room was circular. There were other people there. They were Mesan’s Curse, Highlanders or Elves, Fish, Deer and Cat. Mainland got our attention by waving his arms. We all looked at him. A Mesan’s Curse interpreted what he said to us in our wolf forms.
“Hello, my name is Mainland, I have here are two Amula who have proven to be the parents of the three Elements.”
Then Mainland introduced us to the group as Elizabeth Zeskaya and Bruce Arkov. Then the group introduced themselves to us in our wolf forms. I wanted to change into my Human form but the leash around my neck prevented that. There were fifty people and I forgot their names. It was too hard for me to remember. After the meeting he led Bruce and I to the brig. We went to an elevator and it went down. Then it opened to a hallway. We saw a Highlander I assumed was the security chief in front of his office. He led the way down several doors and opened a door. He opened it and I saw Teorjer sitting on the floor. He looked like he was mediating. I saw Mainland tell the Security chief about putting Teorjer in the same cell as King Sea and Ellison Donovan. The Security chief scratched his pointy ears and told us they hate each other. Mainland told him that they could be charged for attacking each other. The Highlander pressed a button on the monitor on the wall and the metal fence slid open. Teorjer got up from the floor as in a trance and followed the Highlander to another cell. We followed him and watched as the three men, King Sea, Ellison and Teorjer greeted each other with hugs. They turned and asked Mainland with me lip reading who the two gonoids were. My stomach wound up growling and Mainland mentioned about us being hungry. He led us to an elevator. The elevator went up then stopped as we entered a hallway. He led us to the cafeteria. There weren’t any people there. There were box like machines that gave up food. Food was green goo and green stuff to drink and we ate pretty fast in our Human forms. I got to write some notes in my journal. Mainland left us and went elsewhere. One of the Mesan’s Curse came and sat on a table watching us eat. After eating we asked about going to the garden. There was a window that showed the garden down below. The Mesan’s Curse thought for a minute and then agreed to take us to the garden. We put our plates in the deposable then followed him assuming he’s a male to the garden in our wolf forms. He took us to the elevator. The elevator went down then opened showing the garden. Bruce and I had fun exploring the garden. There were bushes and trees and grass as far as the eye could see. The garden was huge. The Mesan’s Curse followed us around and watched as we touched the bushes, trees and grass. It was like earth. The air smelled of greenery. It was very interesting. There was a fountain with water in it. The Mesan’s Curse told us not to put our hands in the water. Said it was acid. I’m surprised that it’s not eating away the stone. The fountain seemed to be made of stone. I found a stone bench and changed to Human form then pulled out my diary and started writing in it. I sat cross-legged. Bruce sat next to me and he and the Hayu are having a conversation about discussing Teorjer and that I was from Earth. The Mesan’s Curse told us not to tell anyone about that because of the High Council have an interest in people from Earth. They were found dead of poisoning. After our talk a light on the male’s right hand blinked and he ans
wered it and told us there were to leave immediately. He led the way to the cafeteria. We had lunch. I’m surprised that time goes by pretty fast. Lunch was green goo and green drink to drink. I wonder is that what we’ll be eating around here. After lunch he led us back to the room. He told us we eat two meals a day. The station is limiting food due to the war. Oh great I’m going to be hungry. I pulled out my diary and started writing. Then I asked the Mesan’s Curse to teach me how to use the computers here. He went to a wall and pressed on it and showed me how to use it the disappeared in thin air. I taught it to Bruce was happy to learn how to use it. I used it to look up Earth’s history. There wasn’t anything new. The monitor couldn’t find a thing about Earth history. But there were things about Human I didn’t like that I didn’t copy in here. I felt hungry so I complained to Bruce that. He also added he was feeling hungry too.
The Mesan’s Curse came back from appearing in thin air in front of us and led us to a door which slid open and it showed a queen size bed for us to sleep on. I guess
