I found her crouching down against the wall and I hoped that she wasn't hurt. I picked her up and pulled her into the reconstruction building. Only then was I able to realize that I was also here for another reason. These were my Kalazaron. I do not think that any master had ever been out there. Certainly not when the Outpost was under siege. This was my chance to see how things were done out here and to make them better.
So after I saw Ella to safety, something awoke inside of me. As the warriors gathered around me and pledged to fight by my side, I turned into a fierce warrior. I hardly even knew myself. I raged into battle shouting orders and working alongside the generals. It felt good to fight for something. I had only been in one battle before and it was very long ago. It was nothing like this. So far out from the capital city, there weren't reinforcements right around the corner to save us. This was it. It was only us against them. I fought, and I fought smart and hard.
When it was all over, I had earned the respect of the warriors I had fought with. I felt like I had finally earned my position as the new master. Sure, I had passed a many intellectual tests, but I had not been put into the elements with the actual Kalazaron warriors. How can a master rule if he does not know exactly what he is ruling what he is up against? Now, I knew more than I had ever before. By the end of the raid, I had many ideas on how to make this Outpost safer and how to protect it from the raids by the rebels that were yet to come.
I was awarded with much respect from the warriors, but the biggest reward was Ella. She opened her self to me. She opened her heart to me. She trusted me and gave herself to me completely, the first male to be inside of her. It was more than I deserved. I knew that I loved her.
I wanted to tell her, but I did not and I don't know why. A part of me was still fearful that the council would not let me keep her. If that was the case, then it was probably best that she did not know that I loved her. Though she knew I cared for her very much because I came there in the middle of a fight to save her, to take her back with me. I just was not thinking that she would give herself to me. It was not what I had expected her to do as if she owed me, so it was a pleasant surprise when I asked her, “Are you sure, Ella? This is what you want?”
Her response to me was what I had wanted to hear from the moment I had met her, but I wanted her to give herself to me freely of her own freewill.
“Yes; do you?”
“Yes, ever since the first day I saw you,” I said, and that was enough for me. I was ready for her. I was throbbing underneath my cloth and the adrenaline of battle and being on the edge of death was enough to have me turned on more than I had ever been.
I picked up her small, curvy body and placed her on the bed. I untied the knot of her Kalazaron dress and slipped it off of her in a slow and sensual manner. This was her first time, and I wanted to savor every second of it. I wanted her to trust me and for her to know that she could stop at any moment.
Her naked body was the most beautiful thing my eyes had ever seen. She was smooth and her olive skin was exotic to me. I had never seen a human female with that skin color and it made her green eyes show in stark contrast to it. Her beauty startled me. This small human female had me, the most powerful Kalazaron on the planet, captured. I would do anything for her. I risked my life for her. She owned me.
“You are the most beautiful female I have ever seen. Your body is exquisite,” I said, letting her know exactly what I was thinking about her.
Then she opened herself to me. I took her virginity and I was grateful for the experience with the human female that I loved so deeply.
The next morning, I woke up next to her and stared at her beautiful face. She looked even more beautiful now that I knew she had given herself to me freely. Perhaps that was my ego, but I was a warrior that knew what he wanted. She stirred softly in her sleep. A part of me did not want her to wake up because I was enjoying looking at her. Then she rolled to her side and her eyes opened. She looked up at me and smiled.
"How do you feel, Ella?" I asked her.
"I feel wonderful. Is it always like that? Does it always feels so…"
"Passionate," I said, finishing her sentence.
"Yes, exactly. Is that normal?"
"No, I've never had it feel as passionate as it is with you," I answered her in truth. She had made me feel unlike anything I had ever felt before with any other female, be it human or Kalazaron.
"I am happy. Thank you for saving me. I still can't believe you did such a thing. It is unbelievable."
"I would do it again and again gladly for you," I said, placing a kiss on her lips. She moved her arms around my neck and pushed her fingers into my hair. We kissed and rolled on the bed the entire morning. We laughed and spoke in the morning light. Then we made love again and again. I was spoiling myself. I was indulging. After fighting such an epic battle against the rebels, I felt like I could use a little indulgence. I thought she could use it too.
After our second time of making love that morning, I finally had to become the leader that I was. I was the master, after all, and there was a big mess just outside the door. I was needed. Ella was needed in the reconstruction building.
"I would want to stay in this bed for an entire week with you, Ella. But we both know that we cannot. It is late morning now, and we are both needed outside. There is much to be done."
"Yes, you are right. I am sure that Dr. Prost needs me and General Moscurn needs you. Your presence had quite an effect on the warriors last night. Just your presence seems to give them cause to rally. It gives them hope. I don't think many leaders have been out here," she said to me.
"No, they have not. And you are right, I do need to meet with the general. We are to review the damage and I need to make a list of all things that need to be repaired. I shall oversee it personally and make sure that it all gets done with as much help from the capital city as needed. I do not think that the elders and the council realize how important this Outpost is. They protect the capital city from the rebels. It is the only thing standing between the rebels and the capital city. I mean to make that a very important subject on a weekly basis from now on," I said to her.
She glanced at me with a flirtatious look in her eyes. Then she playfully whipped off the covers from her body. She lay there naked and my body responded. I growled like a creature as I looked at her. She laughed and stood up from the bed, ready to get dressed.
"Wait, where do you think you're going?" I said as a wrapped my hands around her waist and pulled her back down to the bed with me. She giggled.
"We must get started on the day, remember? Those were your words. We are needed," she said between laughing as I placed kisses all over her naked body.
"How can I go out there now? Look at me. I'm as hard as a rock. See what your naked flesh does to me?"
"Well, maybe just quickly. We cannot waste any more time," she said to me. Before she was done with her sentence, I was already on top of her. She did not need to tell me twice. I entered her fast, taking her. She moaned and pressed her hands into my back. I moved fast and hard. We weren't making a love this time; we were doing something a little more aggressive and naughty. We both wanted it. I pressed her breast into my hand and massaged as she moaned and wiggled underneath me. Within moments, she was screaming out, "I'm cumming!"
Watching her bite down on her lower lip and the sweet sensations of her warm, wet center sent me out of control. I released inside of her. It was as if the ground moved beneath us.
Moments later, we were both getting dressed. I tried not to watch her dress because I would find myself in the same condition as I was in only moments before. I needed to get to work or I would take her to bed again and again.
"I will be with the general if you need me," I said as I kissed her on the forehead when we entered the courtyard. She smiled and we parted ways. She went into the reconstruction building to help. I found the general and he was ready to give me a tour of the damage.
It was a long working day. At the end
of the day, I realized that there was too much to be done there. I might as well stay a few days and get this done right because I did not know when I would be able to come back to this Outpost. I was sure that the entire council would be angry with me for being there in the first place, especially because I came after a human. I might as well take the days to be with Ella without interference. I could use the days to figure out how to make the Outpost a better fortress. I could speak with every general and find out what needed to be done in their particular area. There was much to be done.
I was not ready to go back just yet anyway. After the battle, I saw that communications were fixed first. I informed the council that I was at the Outpost, much to their dismay. I said that I would return in a few days but I was going to analyze and review the systems and structures of the Outpost. They were shocked. No other master had done such a thing. I seemed to be the first to master to do many things.
This did not shock me after reviewing the old documents and the old tests. The old systems did not leave much room for a master to get really involved. The kind of master that would be out in the elements with the Kalazaron. It called for a master that made decisions from the safety of the high tower of the buildings of order.
I spent the next couple of days with the generals of the Outpost. We reviewed structures. We reviewed systems. We reviewed the defenses and the supply line. I listened to their grievances and what they thought could be better. I was going back to the capital city armed with information on how to protect the Outpost. It was a request that the Outpost had made over and over but that was never addressed. I promised them that it would be my first order issued when I returned. I always kept my word.
The next order of business was speaking with Ella's new owner, General Ulepio Loki. Ella had not even met him yet and I was relieved to know that he had not taken an interest in her. Once he knew whom I was and that it was my order to transfer her ownership to mine, he had no objections. In truth, he wanted to be rid of her and thought of her as a responsibility that he did not want. I was relieved that it was easy. I had the papers drawn up and made it official.
Ella's tag in her arm was readjusted to show that I was now her owner. She smiled when it was done and it made me happy to know that she was not completely angry with me that I had to own her in order to be with her. It was just the Kalazaron way.
Finally, it was time to leave. I was actually sad to go. Living out there in the thick of it with danger so close by felt real. It felt more real than living in the capital city and running an entire planet. Out there, the real battle was being fought to protect the capital city. Out there, the warriors were really fighting, doing what they had been trained all their lives for. I felt a good sense of camaraderie as though I was part of a pack.
Ella said bye to the human females that she had lived with for such a short time. She said goodbye to the doctor that had taught her so much. I hoped that one day we would be able to return. We had formed a bond with these Kalazaron because we had been in danger with them. We had conquered a rebel siege and sent them back to the Blue Mountains. It was something that none of us would ever forget. It would go down in Kalazaron history as a battle in which a master was an active warrior.
My speed racer was fueled and checked. Now, it was time to go. Ella stepped into the speed racer pod and I followed. Everyone came out into the courtyard to see us off. They saluted me. This was better than any coronation ceremony or fancy party that had been given in my honor since I had become the Master. This was real. This meant everything.
Ella looked at me and I could tell that she was looking at me with pride. That made me feel very good; I had not only earned her trust, but her adoration and pride in my actions. It was all that I wanted from her. The speed racer shot straight up and we had to move fast because this was considered rebel air space until we were miles toward the capital city. I tensed up and watched the radar screen and every angle to make sure we were alone and not being targeted.
It was a good hour before I felt that I could release some of the tension as we had crossed into a safe zone.
"What is that?" Ella asked.
I looked to see what Ella was looking at and saw familiar airships coming our way.
"Master Kree, it is our honor to escort you back into the capital city. We have your back covered, Master,” the Kalazaron warriors said over the radio. I looked to Ella and smiled. It was good to hear the familiar sounds of our forces. I pressed on the radio, "We are glad for your company. Cover acknowledged," I said in response and then turned off the radio. The ships maneuvered and formed a moving shield around us. We were now flying in the middle of them.
"I sort of forget that you are the master. That your safety is a big deal," Ella said to me. "That they would send out an air force like this to protect you."
"You are a big deal to me. I am protecting you; they are protecting us," I said to her as I squeezed her hand. She smiled.
"That being said, don't forget that I am the master," I said playfully as I laughed.
"I think I am the new master in the bed," she said with confidence.
"Don't speak to me in such a way now, I will not be able to concentrate with that kind of talk, Ella. That's what you do to me."
She laughed again and then was quiet. She took my warning seriously, but it was of no use; I was already thinking of her being the master in the bedroom and I could not wait to get her home. I thought about landing the speed racer pod on the roof so that I could take her directly to my quarters. However, I did not know what would be waiting for us in the capital city.
We landed with the massive force of ships in the training grounds of the warrior station and we were surprised by what we returned to. As soon as we stepped out of the racer, all of the warriors had gathered to greet us. There were at least five thousand inside the landing port. They saluted me. I was shocked. Why were they all there?
"Master Kree! Warrior fighter!" they shouted. My eyes were wide in shock. Ella and I stepped out of the pod. I grabbed two guards and whispered. “She does not leave me; one step behind me at all times until she is in my living quarters.” The guards acknowledged my orders. The rest of the warriors were suddenly very ceremonious about leading me out of the training grounds toward the city. Ella followed behind with the two guards stationed beside her to make sure that she stayed only steps away from me.
When we moved out onto the street, the entire capital city was in celebration. It was a parade of sorts as Kalazaron lined both sides of the street all the way down before me. I walked down the Kalazaron lined street. Warriors walked behind me in line. Music played. Drums were beaten. It was an all-out celebration and holograms of my likeness were projected onto buildings. Everyone had heard of my fighting efforts at the Belvenreed Outpost. It was a shock to me. The Kalazaron cheered and shouted the “The Warrior Master!” “The true fighter!”
I felt a surge of pride that the Kalazaron, known for our fighting, warrior ways, were acknowledging that a master could also be a warrior—a damn good warrior. They were understanding it. This would make it easier to make Belvenreed stronger. They flew flags and celebrated. I think it was comforting to them to know that the master of the planet was just as strong as any warrior.
The parade followed us all the way to the buildings of order. I climbed the steps to the very top and gave a short speech. The crowds cheered and chanted my name. “Master Kree!”
In all my time living in the capital city I had never seen such a thing for a master. Perhaps there was something to having a young master that would fight instead of the elder masters that the capital had grown so used to. I had been out there with the warriors fighting. I now knew firsthand what it was like and how to make it better and safer. The Outpost protected us, the capital city. It was important that they were offered the best supports and structures necessary.
Finally, I was in the elevator with my guards and Ella. I was out of sight of the public eye.
"What was that? Is
that normal? I have not seen such a thing since I came to this planet," she said to me.
"No, I have never seen or heard of such a thing. But a master has never fought in a battle before."
"You do many things you're not supposed to," she said playfully. The way she looked at me, I wanted to take a right then and there in the elevator. If we were alone, I would stop it and take her. I put my hand on her lower back and caressed her; she looked up at me with a smile.
"I wish I did not have so much to do. I will show you to my living quarters and then I must be off to my council chamber," I said to her.
"You will be missed," she said in a flirtatious way.
The doors opened and I led her down to my living quarters and dismissed the guards.
"This is it," I said as I opened the door.
She moved inside and ran into the room with excitement as she said, "This is where you live?! You can almost see all the way to the Blue Mountains from way up here. This is better than sitting on the roof. It is beautiful up here. Look, you can see the crowds from up here. They love you, Master Kree.”
