Explosions rang in Ashur's ear. Deafening screams could be heard from enemies combatants and brothers in arms alike. The smoke filled sky flash with brilliant reds and blue as this battled raged.
"You heard the captain. You need to fall back!" The officer he had wrapped over his shoulder scream at him. "Can't u see that's what we are doing idiot. Now move those lumps of leg I'd rather not die here." Ashur had a smirk on his face, but only for the sake of convincing this man to shut up and let him focus. Slowly it seemed there numbers grew as they near there ships for retreat. But an army that had arrived almost ten thousand strong would soon learn that only less then a thousand had survived.only to lose half there number on the journey home due to damaged ships and lack of rations. Though he had gotten that young man out of that battle field and got him the medical attention he deserved, he was forced to watch him and many others starve to death. What allowed Ashur and the few that made it home to not follow there brethren in death was will alone he believed. It was that same starship he had been so hell bent to make it to. So he recognized the inside immediately as he awoke.
"So many buttons, yet it took so few to get us this far...ooooh what does this one do?" Ashur fully awoke when he sensed himself loose all weight realizing that whoever had spoken was messing with the gravity. Grabbing the nearest wall and fixing himself upright, he immediately lost his grip on not just the wall but , he believed, on his sanity. That same blob of sky that had sent him to dreamland back in the forest was now "starring" at him.CLICK. ashur was barely able to land on his feet and this blob suddenly turn the gravity back on. "Well hello there sleepy head I was wondering when u would decide to grace me with your presence." Negyro spoke through his mind in a sarcastic tone. "You know as I said before I wasn't trying to scare u or anything, but leaving the whole planet because of a feeling is a bit much don't u think?" Ashur with his mouth agap was just staring back and forth between the black void of space and what was sitting in his chair. As if a piece of that void was ripped off and put it that chair there were intire nebulae and Galaxies swirling around and looked like u could point your ship towards this blob and go there. Mesmerized by the beauty while terrified at the fact that ashur had never spoken out loud the reason he was leaving the planet. 'What the hell is going on?' Ashur thought. "It seems I'll have to fully introduce myself to calm those nerves of yours. Hello again Ashur, if I may call u by that name, my name is Negyro. I am a very old thing that has long since lost the name for what race or type of being he is. I have no intentions with you or your life beyond seeing what happens next. This is a very beautiful peace of machinery by the way. It's always amazing to see how so many worlds differ when it comes to there level of technology and understanding of the world around them." There was a sense of glee and curiosity that seem to resonate off this thing. Helping calm the mind of this very tense beast man. "How are already in my ship and flying?" Negyro was somewhat surprised as he expected the usual 'What do u want' or 'please don't hurt me' to come next. So he gladly answered. "I simply looked through your mind for the information I needed on what to do next. Seeing as I did not want to float there waiting for u to awake and your eagerness to go in one specific direction told me u have a destination in mind, and reasons for it. So I went into your mind and found your plans to finish preparations for your ship and thus began those proceeding while carrying you along. There were Manu confused faces on the way and you would be happy to know that there were more then a few looks of concern. Anyway I brought u here and finished the ship stuff so we could leave. Though I hadn't looked to see where u had wanted to go so we have been going in a curtain direction for no reason. So far so good tho, I think?" Ashur still hadn't closed his mouth and the understanding of his mind having been probed by a piece of sky that seems intent on simply "hanging around". Not to mention that it had gotten them into space and from what he could see from a quick glance everything had indeed been done correctly and all his belongings present. Take a deep breath ashur decided that with everything that had been going on that last thing he should do is push against it too hard. Plus with his appearance and mind powers alone it would probably be hard to defend let alone attack this....thing. with no hostile intent and a show a faith already displayed ashur moved towards his seat. "Well regardless your in my chair and I'm awake now so please move." A slight chuckle could be heard as negyro floated off to the side some. Finally getting to sit in his chair and grab some sense of control ashur pulled his nav screen over and started to put in his intended location. "Would u mind telling me where we are going?" Ashur looked up at negyro "I, I ams going to a friend's. Wether u come with is your decision unless u have some demands u have yet to make clear." A laughed was clearly and as negyro began to change shape. "As I said before I am very very old and don't even know where I started I only care about what's next. And I've decided to stick with u for a but. If that's alright with you?" Before ashur could respond he was once again left speechless as was look like an almost exact copy of him was now starring back at him. Except this version of his was covered in a deep black fur tho those crimson red eyes seemed to even reflect the pain in ashur heart."Are those the eyes people see..." ashur look at control by his feet."You know there darkness is not any fault of your but of those who u trusted." Negyro had seen more then he should have when searching for the information needed. He had seen the wars and the calamity that this man had been thru the lives he failed to save and the ungrateful bastards who left his in his time of need. With all that and so many more reasons to stop feeling this beast man and move forward and had many more adventures that brought some light to his life. This ancient being was absolutely amazed and he new beings revered as gods who would have coward into there fear long before ever leaving a battle field, let alone face the loneliness this man knew.
Ashur's response to these words that surprised him more then anything else that had happened was to simply look forward and hit the throttle. "So far u scared the absolute shit out of me, have kidnapped me using my own ship and now I'm supppse to just bring u along." Ashur started to shake his head and chuckle. The absolute absurdity was too much. He swore he could feel his sanity shift a little. That may have been why he said what he said next. "Well fuck it let see how shall it be as we venture into this deep black sea. Wonder what else u can do?" Negyro had a devilish smirk. "I honestly can't wait to show you. And then maybe I can see some or those amazing abilities I saw in you mind. You know there are a couple I haven't been able to do yet." The word yet didn't sit well in his mind. Ashur was Fairley proud of his strength, It was a bit of an ego boost to hear this. Yet at the same time the eventual truth of that word would be very prevalent one day. "Well it's a long journey and this has been very....well it's been a lot. So I'm gonna sleep a bit." Ashur rising from his seat notice the slight pout on the mouth of his "twin" . "You mortals and your sleep though I know what ot feels like it has never been a need." Ashur walked down the short dark gray metal panel hallway that separated to cock pit and the living quarters . The ship was an old military vessel ment to send a decent sized squadron of troops. It appearance was nothing too special. Each wing was a 50 yards long with a hyper drive engine in the middle of each. They protruded from a somewhat tube like frame that came to bird beak shaped front. On the face of that front was the glass that protected the cockpit. The living quarters were once about 5 rooms and a kitchen. Each room was spacious enough to house three people comfortably. With beds for each and a bathroom with shower and closet space. The kitchen was fairly large and conjoined with a dining room big enough for 15 people. Now there was on solitary room left as ashur had long removed the walls and excess bathrooms. All that was left was a very large living space now conjoined to the kitchen and on spare room separated in the back. Clearly he had finally found an occupant for that room tho it was the buxom beauty he had invisioned. second to his strength, ahsur was proud of his ship the dark Grey finished walls and floor complimented by different hues of red and blue. Simple yet beautiful is what he thought everytime he look away from the void and headed to bed. " You can have the room in the back. Though you already said u don't sleep but this way there is still the idea of privacy." They had only met a fee hours ago and there circumstances were far from normal. There may be no hostility in the air and no threwts or demands made, but that was far from making this being a friend. So ahsurbwould be kind, yet cautious. Negyro understood this right away and knew that he only needed to be himself as he truly had no ill will for the beastman. Only curiosity and slight pity. Someday tho, there would be so much that negyro would never have expected to be between him and a mortal. That being said it pales in comparison to the levels of shock and awe he would bring to the life of Ashur of the blackest night.
