Chapter 38 - After the Battle

Dejah Thoris, Strong arms, dancing blue eyes, full lips that curled in a smile. Her skin was tinged with red, a savage hue that matched the alien sands beneath their feet. They stood together for a long moment as the airships smoked and the Thark woman, Sola, watched uneasily. Then a wild chant rang out, and Hadrian whirled around to see the entire Thark horde charging straight toward them.

Hadrian was about walk back to his group, but something held him back. He looked down to see the faithful doglike animal, Woola, gripping his leg in playful affection.Hadrian sighed patted Woola's head.

Dejah turned to him, serious "What are you?"

Then another question popped"How did you turn into that huge bird and you even manipulated fire?" Scientific curiosity gleamed in her eyes.

Hadrian shrugged and replied"It's my bloodline and its not something that can be taught to anyone."

Dejah was slightly let down by that,but then a certain there was a spark in her eyes and asked"Could you help,Hypos?"

Hadrian sighed and replied"We will talk about this,but not here."

Dejah then saw swarm of Tharks coming there way,also another group was with them all of them had white chalky skin.There wore golden Armour and they were unlike anything she had seen.

While Dejah also her Hypos airship survived and landed close by and her soldiers also survived,they came to her they were protective of there princess.While Dejah spoke up"Do not fire your weapons. "

Hypos soldiers were confused,but hesitantly agreed.While Tars managed lead Hadrian,Dejah,Nuada towards his home.There Hadrian explained about the Elves living in Forest of Monsters it was shocking thing to any normal people.Also learning a new faction and Kingdom was now in Barsoom was

While curious about who they were Dejah asked"Where did your people come from?"

Hadrian sighed and replied"Our people were looking for new land to settle,but came here by mistake."

Dejah knew that wasn't the full truth,but for now let it go.As she was more focused on creating an alliance with this new Kingdom Bethmora.

Hours later, a bleak sun set over the wreckage airship. The fires had died down, but Tharks still swarmed over the ship's splintered decks like an army of giant green ants.

While Hadrian brought Nuala to talk with Dejah to make sure she is okay after all she was kinda responsible for some of her people dying.It was surprising that they got along well,but Nuala when she first met Dejah sensed that,Dejah was slightly disheartened hearing about Naula being Hadrian's fiancee.But tried to hide it,

Nuala walked next to them Hadrian and said"She as hoping for Alliance with us and to strengthen the bond,she was even okay with marrying you."

Hadrian eyes widened hearing that and asked"You are not serious right."

Nuala shook her head and replied"It seems like multiple partners were a thing for them,although there has not been many case of while from what I read from her mind,it does seem to bother her much and she seems to be enamored by you,after you saved her.Another thing is she wants to escape the marriage with Urassan Jeddak Sab Than."

Urassaan are well known for there hostile, manipulative, and aggressive nature,they waged war on the Hypos, the Tharks, and any other enemies that cross their path.Also women don't have much power or respect among people of Urassan as they are only seen as baby makers.

Hadrian nodded slightly understanding her motivations and mindset,while Nuala added"So are we going to agree with this Alliance?"

Hadrian sighed and replied"We will talk more with them about the conditions."

Hadrian the next day explained to Dejah,that they were taking her to Forest of Monsters for protection,since Urassan may cause problems for The Tharks.

Dejah agreed to it,while she did send a messenger to tell her father about what happened and about Sab Than trying to kill her.
