*I will have to leave it to your judgement where this ship will rest until it can be brought to the new planet,* the image gave a short bow to the Kumaraie.
*However, this ship has been in space for more than thirty-four thousand cycles. It is fragile. Moving it too frequently would not be good for it. The sensors indicate that this is a good place. If possible, it should be left where it is now until it is finally placed in space above the new planet.*
*We shall see what we can do. Being able to place an emitter in the next room would be ideal for us. That would allow for many to visit without impacting this vessel. It will also garner much support for the humans from our people if they allow unrestricted access to the image,* the Kumaraie stated.
************
As the people in the next room watched, they saw the exterior hatch open. Two little girls and two adults stepped out of the ship and greeted Sherm-Atem, who suddenly was jumping up and down. The five turned to the airlock and Sherm practically ran to open it for the others.
Curious, those in the adjacent room waited as the airlock cycled and the group came in. Before anyone could ask any questions, the Kumaraie raised her hand and indicated silence. She pointed to one of her Kumir-Rai and asked if the connection to the palace was still running.
Once reassured of that, she asked the Pemipinae to join her to address the people.
The five stood (or floated) in a line as the Kumaraie spoke. "My people, I wish to inform you that the one named Poda-La, has returned to her people, both halves of the people..." the Kumaraie activated her comp and displayed the image of the body of Poda-La and the Chlaerge in the crystal coffin.
On the two planets of the sister races, the people starred in stunned disbelief...

arrowglass8 months agoDid you mean to exclude the Atohan from the list of those who Poda-La will make herself available to speak with in the future?
arrowglass9 months agoI applaud your imagination and thank you for sharing ALL THAT GLITTERS with us! Every chapter just leaves us readers wanting more!!!
Austincoolevony9 months agoI have really enjoyed this story overall. It is an entire world, not just one character’s arc. I do have one criticism however. You mention several times that the kids aren’t even 2 years old yet. While I like the notion of them being supernatural in their abilities as a guide toward the future of the story I worry that at this point they seem less like toddlers and more like androids. They speak almost 20 languages, never seem to forget any facts, play multiple instruments, can do multi-digit multiplication in their head, have learned multiple combat styles, are trusted by adults to walk the space station on their own and have a firm grasp of the concept of money. It feels like there wouldn’t physically be enough hours in their lives to have encountered all of these things let alone having had time for their hypercurriosity to have explored them. I find myself wanting them to be incredibly advanced 10 or 12 yr olds as opposed to children who would just be potty training. For the story to build the way I think you are heading they need to be amazing, beyond comprehension - and ad I said supernatural. Their powers give them that, so does the worldliness you have given them. My fear is even these traits become less believable if they can do anything and everything that they can think of without fail. Personally I feel their characters would be more believable if they were still limited in some fashion like other children their age.
Anonymous9 months agoChanneling your inner Julian? The interaction between Barbara & the children cracked me up & immediately brought to mind the scene from the Madagascar movie, where Julian, the king of the ringtailed lemurs breaks into dance & sings, 'I like to move, move! Well done.
Good chapter, as usual. ATG has shaped up into a world class tale. Thanks for sharing & for putting the work in to provide us w/ a free, good read.
