Chapter 5

Fight units

Chiron was pleased to get a visit. The two tigers turned round and looked into the direction the voice came from. A big, stately tomcat which was no longer very young but well were in the best manhood in front of them. Stella did not whisper, "Any wonder that our daughter got weak", to her husband. "With what have I earned the honor, then?",Chiron asked and completed: "Please, my bad behavior excuses. My name is Chiron and I am the master of the modest hut behind myself." Stella tore the threads to herself. "I am Stella and this is my marriage tomcat Cyron." Chiron nodded at the two friendly. "And who is your tall friend?" "My name is Groodarn, tiger Chiron", answered the dragon for itself. "Also mean greeting, Groodarn, for you." The tiger pair was obviously impressed by Chiron's outside and also by hims elect way of speaking. "Our daughter has at least herself closed a formed tiger taken, it felled for me", Cyron of hers partner whispered. "I must worry now and get jealous?", Stella joked. "How thinks?", Chiron asked. "Nothing. Is already good. My little man just only meant that he likes you." Cyron buried hims face in one of its both hands and Chiron coughed whether the openness of the tiger. "What does lead you then to me?" The dragon started: "I shall say hello to you, tiger Chiron, from Tarja." Chiron tore up the eyes. "What is with his? What has happened to her? Is she also here? How is she? What does this strange appearance have to mean actually?" "Can you imagine who we are?" Chiron shook the head: "But I start to suspect something." "Completely rakes. We are their parents", said Cyron, Chirons presentiment. Chiron sank in himself together. "No worry. Tarja is well. She is not here. We have sent she to his stepsister to Strongham. But we must talk." Chiron kicked back a step and nodded. "Well, comes into my hut. Unfortunately, Groodarn does not match purely there but you may do a piece more nearly get closer. I leave the door open, you then can watch one's activities and have a say. There is something to eat for you also." The dragon thanked but said no: "I would like to return to my cave before the night has fallen definitely." Chiron understood hims wish and looked on Stella and Cyron. "You are welcome, if all of you liked, to stay with me. However, too much does not expect comfort, there is no running water except for the little spring in the forests and also no current. What I can much fresh air and a luxuriant green have to be eaten a little, a good drink, a roof over the head, a place for the night and a earth closet in the back part of the house, for this but very much, merely offer." Cyron grinned and Stella nodded agreeing. "We think that this will suffice. We are not used to overflowing luxury at all and do not want to prepare ourselves for duration, except for it, either." Chiron smiled invitingly. "Tiger Cyron", said the dragon, "when I shall pick you up?" "I think, that it will do tomorrow toward nine o'clock." The dragon growled agreeing and made itself on its way home.

The three tigers went into the house and Chiron closed the door. "It is very pleasantly yours to make acquaintance well, therefore. Also if the situation at the moment seems quite obscure to me and I do not know properly how I shall behave opposite you." "You yourself simply are and do not bend because of us", Stella tried to weaken the situation and to make more tolerable. Chiron looked at their. He had wonderful deep brown eyes and a tremendously soft and gentle look. "I have thought, you show me that you knows that what has happened." Cyron nodded and looked on hers hands. You trembled and were a sign that it felt also uncomfortable. "We are here because we would like to get to know you. After all, you have slept with our daughter and you were her first lover." "I know she had told this to me. - afterwards. Coward had to do nothing better but to get up and to disappear - and me." "You have done what you kept at this moment for right. For this no-one can blame you." "One really can namely this one blame me, that I have acted irresponsibly and made use of the inexperience of your daughter." "You have not made use of it directly, after all, Tarja is not quite innocent as I have got this." Chiron nodded: "This is correct, though." "The only one, what I can make you the reproach, the fact that you would have most bily had to think than it and at least you to prevention more oldly is." Chiron tore the head highly. "Think you that she is pregnant?" "Pant, this is it. Congratulations. You become a father." "Where she is? I want to see her." "I already said anyway that she is with her stepsister in Strongham. No get there is so fast there. However, be unconcerned, nothing happens to her and your child will get and raise it there. You and no-one make oneself nothing also happens to thoughts, you." Chiron breathed in and let the air escape audibly. "Wow, this is rather intense." Stella grinned because it seemed to thaw slowly also from its mode of expression. "I have damned, so not wanted all this and not imagined either." "This shall what be called?", Cyron asked. "This does not mean that I want to pinch now. I am quite conscious of my responsibility and am pleased that I become a father. This comes a little as a surprise, though." "I can this comprehend well replied, to Stella we after all have come you without appointment with much news here. It is clear there that one must sort its trains of thought only. What is beautiful again, though, since we get to know you so better, too. You know in which order the sorting of the thoughts reveals very much over somebody in front of all things the priorities are set. I have liked very much that you have asked to Tarja first. This shows me that it means something to you." "Something means she to me?", Chiron gave a laugh, "Briefly I like not only something at his. She simply has twisted me the mind. I can take hold of hardly a clear thought since I have left her. I am afraid I have fallen in love with your daughter. This frightens me somehow because I thought that something like that would never happen to me and primarily so sudden." Cyron and Stella winked at themselves and nodded. Chiron noticed this gesture and a little more still gave relief inwardly. "I have a terrific idea. I wanted to grill a piglet that had alone for me for sufficed the next three days. If you want, then we are doing this now, drink a beautiful cool beer to this, make it comfortable us and further talk." "Beer?", Cyron asked. "Beer pants. I brew it myself. Barley, malt and hops which are made with water are the principal ingredients and one then lets it ferment. It tastes easily bitter but good and it have an intoxicating effect like mead." "This sounds good", thought Stella. Chiron got active. He had already almost prepared everything before arrival of the two and only needed, inclusive of the piglet, still to carry a couple of smaller things in front of the hut. Cyron grabbed, the piglet took and carried it out, Stella took care of the rest. It was a wonderful evening and should become a wonderful night. The three tigers sat in front of the green sea of the trees, the charcoal cracked in their own embers in front of itself to and handed in a pleasant warmth. The piglet was soft, crisp and tasted really delicious and the beer simply slurped itself only marvelously refreshingly away. "Well, so. This all in all was today one very busy day", Cyron summed up. Stella looked at him and only could confirm this. "Yes. We have experienced very much and have learned very much." "Is correct. We have jumped over our own shadows, have taken profound decisions and found new friends at the end." Chiron sat there, listened to the two and looked Stella and Cyron into the eyes at the last sentence alternately. The two gave it a smile good-naturedly. "Describe me as friend you? And this after everything I have done?" "Yes. After all, you are the lover of our daughter." "I have made me but from the dust. Had sat goods Tarja at the end." "You have taken a wrong decision at this moment. This one was perhaps right in your opinion at this moment, we therefore can not blame you either. But you have stood for your responsibility and your deed at the end anyway and this is decisive." Chiron nodded and Cyron seized the word: "Says, my more kindly where you have shot the piglet actually?" The answer came: "In the jungle not far from here." "There still is sufficient wild there?" "Yes. I have been able to state nothing else at least." "I find this interesting. The wild has become rare namely in the forests around Felgan and we take our shoots into consideration to extend." "I take care that the jungle offers sufficient spoils for everyone as long as one keeps the hunting in certain limits", said Chiron. Cyron nodded. "Why you do not follow us and chase with us together? Finish your lonesome life and come to the village. You will meet other cats and find friends there. In addition, this here is nothing outside for duration anyway." Chiron thought it over. "This is a very nice offer and I feel flatteredly, however, I am afraid that I must say no since I am used in this wilderness to the life." "Harms. You would hand in a good son-in-law." Chiron swallowed. It had not expected such an honor. "I will see to it that I can visit to my dearest tigress as quickly as possible." "She would be certainly pleased there", Stella confirmed it, "she has you namely also all the time about described as her lover and HER tomcat and talked about Chiron or of any tomcat not." Chiron had to smile and thought she intensively met at this to the afternoon and to the lovely hours with it. "I will do him and pay her a visit in Strongham." His decision stood thus firmly. You sat even further hours before the hut, talked about trivialities, the roast bones nibbled shinily and cups of beer drank the one or other. Everyone was tired enough at the end to go finally to bed. Its store offered this one to both Chiron on to accept which Stella and Cyron were pleased. It put itself in front of the fireplace and had fallen asleep within few minutes. In the next morning all of them felt as broken on the wheel, a side effect of the beer. It was quite cool and Chiron lit the fireplace. The tiger pair made itself in the meantime on the way to the source which had mentioned Chiron to wash. "It is really very cool this morning", said Stella to her husband. "Yes. Rake exceptionally for this season." Chiron suddenly came both afterwards and to be more precise in the trot behind this one. "I have completely forgotten to tell what to both of you." "What because? Is it so urgent that you afterwards had to run for us?" "Yes. It is over-essential!" The two stopped short. "Does not go on than up to the source, then can nothing pass you. It is still almost one hundred meters away now. The forests get thick behind this and I myself avoid this area. Weird seems something to do his mischief there." "Thanks! These is kind of you but we did not intend to soften a tour by an unexplored area." "I okly am then calmed." It declined to his hut and the two reached the source. "Wow! This one is warm. Must come directly from the inside of the planet well."

The truth hid, however, from its sight and this was so also well at the moment. You would already still be confronted with it early enough.

After they had refreshed themselves, they returned to her son-in-law to be and enjoyed further. "What does hide himself more deeply in the forests?", Cyron suddenly broke the silence. Chiron shuffled. "I do not know it exactly. One listens strange noises from a larger distance, breaking branches, from time to time so as if somebody would stay there. If the sun is rather deep, then one even can observe under circumstances how shade moves by the undergrowth. However, I have no idea whom or what this is. And I is to keep clever enough, me away from there and you should it also." Stella and Cyron laid out the ears. All this sounded too weird and gave them to think. "When you intended to set out?" "Toward nine o'clock", Stella responded and looked Cyron for a short time at the watch. "Yes, it is already ready with the goddess." You heard a hanging on in front of the hut, silence then entered. "These must be Groodarn", told Chiron. The three kicked in front of the door and there no dragon stood. No, the language took them what they saw away. You had expected the shape of a great dragon. Knew it not what exactly it was, which stood and stared at it opposite them there instead. It did not have any eyes, no nose, no mouth and also no ears. It did not have a face into which one one could look. Sudden became what it was consciously so shocking for them for everyone, she jumped at it really. What be might it always, it did not have a head. It had merely a body, however, it did not correspond to any known form, legs which ones from the shape somehow reminded of her own ones and were arms but also this one completely strangely and ended in strange shapeless constructions. The whole nature, if one could call it at all so, shone in the morning sun, its skin was glossy and neither fur nor shacks were recognizable. This thing, this nature suddenly approached or what it always was, two steps toward the tigers. The noise which there was of itself reminded of a door rusted up easily and the touchdown of the feet on the ground caused considerably perceptible tremors and also an abstruse noise so as if a heavy iron gate into the castle would be scored. The three got to work with the fear and prepared to escape into the hut. Worked, said. Cyron slammed the door behind itself and Chiron barricaded it. It looked from the window. The thing stood directly in front of the door. "Shit!", said Chiron into the room, he stands directly in front of the door." "He?" "Have I, he said? I thought, him, them, it. This may always what be, too." "Chiron! You seem to know something and hide it from us", Stella pressed him. "I would know what should I not hide. Los, my hut has a small and inconspicuous rear exit. We can disappear by the." "You really seem to have thought of everything", Cyron said briefly and the two followed Chiron without asking further questions. He opened a hatch in the ground and let itself down, another flap which led into the open around ten meters further was. He also opened these but flew a shape for it there really contrary to. He frightened back: "Casandra?" The wildcat shoved him and both back into the hut the other. "You wanted to push off so, simply so." "What, Casandra, shall this?", Chiron was, it. The events seemed to somersault. Stella and Cyron were with the nerves at the end. In front of this door something stood that a wildcat which blocked them the escape route could have arisen from only the hell and did not seem to be tempered just peacefully and on the other side stood. Cyron seized the word: "Okly paint slowly quite slowly now. What is going on here actually?" He was very outraged. Chiron looked to the ground, then to the wildcat and then to the two tigers. "May I introduce Casandra to you?" You looked himself into the eyes. "You already know my name now. I am mistress of the magic and also the black arts. In addition a good friend of Chiron. This one has disappointed me very much at the moment, though." Stella and Cyron simply only stood there and had to be said incapable a little. "Sit down", told the cat, "I think I and Chiron must explain something." The tiger pair pricked up its ears. "What stands outside there is not a living being but a robot, a protection and fight unity, this. He is artificial completely and reacts independently. These things belong to a science base which is located inside the jungle deeply and are harmless actually." Cyron swallowed the chunk. "Harmless I would not call the thing particularly now." "They are usually this, however. A special case seems here to be present only and I have no idea what has to change into the fight and arrest mode induced the robot." "Fight and arrest mode? This is approximately said that this wants this thing to kill robots, us, outside since?" "It rather looks, that after that he wants to hold us tight here. But in the reason it looks after that. We had already earlier had contact with them but we were always asked only friendly to leave the no-go area", Chiron told. Stella and Cyron looked at it infuriated. "And when you intended actually to tell all this to us?" "With a little luck at all not, because it has never been interested and there was no risk." "This has but, for which reasons also always, changed", himself Casandra completed. "I only want to hope that we can turn the unit off before still more appears and perhaps burns us. And primarily, that the missing unity does not stand out, had a malfunction or else you have made a mistake which has aroused this behavior." "However, we have not made any mistake", Chiron was outraged. "The malfunction then only remains. Certainly he has, however, scanned your bodies and boarded into the central network." "Second. You throw concepts around here which we do not understand. Please can one declare to me what exactly happens here?" Chiron addressed Stella. "Ok. Watch out. You have got certainly that it is a robot outside there." Stella nodded. "Good. Further. These robots are of artificial origin, they have been designed and built. We do not know about whom. You belong to a research base this one deeply in the forests in secret is. Where exactly have we not got back, one should enter into the forests to this but one does not come far enough without being picked up and expelled from the area by such a robot before." However, Stella nodded again asked: "This base serves which purpose?" "We do not know this either, to this one should get in to the base but as said..." "... one does not come into the proximity", Cyron completed the sentence." Chiron and Casandra nodded and Chiron continued: "This whole technology is like this far advanced and so unbelievable that definitely is not it of us. This is certain." Cyron whistled and Stella breathed out audibly. "We have in the course of the time to approach to the base temptedly again and again but in vain. We tried it in all sorts of places but one has expected us apparently. We therefore suspect that there is a kind of network, the robots communicate via it with each other. At all events knew them always in advance where we would appear and intercepted us." "Yes and they recognized us and we knew it for how many times temptedly have", Casandra supplemented, "this to us which evaluates the collected data and to which passes robots on suggests furthermore that there is a kind of head office brain in the base." "And has happened a little now that has made the network overrun and sets the robot onto us. Have I really understood this?", Stella asked. Chiron nodded. "What shall since, however, we do not know be this, we suspect sooner that it is a defect within the robot. If not, we have a gigantic problem." Everyone looked to the ground.

One suddenly listened a terrible noise outside. It seemed to thunder in extremely short distances, one then heard a cry and an enormous bang. The four rocketed and looked from the window. Groodarn stood outside and the robot lay under his left front paw, it was destroyed. They joyfully ran contrary to him. "Groodarn", called Cyron. "Hello and good morning, tigress Stella, tiger Cyron, tiger Chiron and wildcat Casandra." Everyone was pleased the dragon to see tremendously. Stella gave him a peck and asked: "How you have done this? Have you been injured?" "No tigress Stella. I am well and I am not injured either. I claimed to be here at nine o'clock on the dot. I already saw of far your problem there, however. I changed course and circulated through a safe distance over the area. I had enough time to think up a good attack plan." "I am really pleased with it there. We have powerfully sat in the dirt namely here", Casandra said . I would like to ask you to climb now so that you come home finally again so, however. Your stocks are scattered in the kitchen and become ruined possibly still." Cyron had a fought in front of the forehead. "Disgrace! How could we forget this only. We have let everything be and lie in the hectic rush smoothly anyway." The dragon nodded. Stella turned to Chiron: "I would like to apologize you to accompany us. You are no longer sure here." Chiron looked at Casandra and this one nodded agreeing: "She has right. You cannot stay any more. Go away from here, leave this location as long you can still. If it was not a disturbance, then you float here in the greatest danger." Chiron chewed on the lower lip. "Well, I still take a couple of personal things out of my hut quickly and we then disappear here." A couple of books it went into its own four walls, never see which presumably would it again, wrapped up its body and fur maintenance mediums be writing things and the door closed a last time. It dragon sighed, turns round once again finally increased on the already sat on the Stella and Cyron. He just wanted to say goodbye to Casandra, five robots broke from the undergrowth, walked around the hut and initiated fire immediately but uncheckedly there. Casandra was already captured of the first shot. "Shit!", shouted Chiron and jumped down from the back of the dragon, clasped Casandra and dragged her to herself. Which did not move any more and it tried holding the thin rope ladder with its other hand with a hand Casandra, the dragon to scale. Cyron saw that this would not work. He already had solved {released, dissolved} the belt and Chiron's hand snatched himself. With united powers they pulled up Casandra, buckled her somehow. Chiron still hung on the ladder. One of the broader shots had hit him on the thigh, fortunately only a graze. He put an arm by the short cords and yelled. The dragon noticed that everyone held themselves tight somehow shouted as a warning briefly on and stood out. Like by a miracle it was not met and they escaped from the fatal hail of bullets. When they were in the air and in a safe distance, Cyron took a hand of hers seat belt, at which it had held itself tight all the time and stretched them contrary to Chiron. He grasped it and with united strengths it drew itself on the back of the animal definitely. "Hello, tiger Chiron", the dragon said cheering up, "welcome on board." However, Chiron did not feel like laughter. He had severe pains and bled. He was rather interested in Casandra's condition, however. "How she is?" "She is violated seriously and more and more blood loses but she lives still." "How long it still lasts up to the village?", he yelled, to the dragon turned. "I give. I can do what, however, determine another fifteen minutes." Chiron turned round to Casandra again, took her at the head and squeezed her. "Hold by an expensive friend, please hold out." The dragon called ten minutes later: "Where I shall land?" Chiron called: "At the best at the riverbank nearby the hut of Hargot." Stella and Cyron looked at themselves. You always became acquainted at the name with more people when the circumstances were also more than depressing. The dragon took the hut into the visor and rushed at it like an arrow. Shortly before everyone thought that it would strike, he braked and landed gently like always. Cyron, Stella and Chiron solved the belts. Dragon climbed off this and ran to the hut of the ocelot for Stella to register it. While Cyron and Chiron were heaving down the injured wildcat, the tiger and the ocelot still came in front of the door. Hargot got white as chalk around the nose and laid out the ears. "Tall goddess, what does have happened?" "Let us go in and care for Casandra", Chiron told brusquely. Hargot nodded and stepped aside. First they put the injured person on the table. Chiron tore up the outer clothing which carried it and laid bare a wound as no-one had seen it yet. The hole in its left shoulder was five centimeters in size approximately, however, did not bleed at all. The blood was from a smaller wound besides that. Chiron looked at it more closely. "Dressing material brings fast me!" The ocelot ran and brought the desired in an ample quantity. "It explained the smaller wound is from a machine cannon", while him staunched the bleeding and then connected. "Machine cannon?", Cyron asked. "Yes. Our spears and bows are a toy against these weapons." "But we can really defend each other, destroy this things with that." Chiron gave a laugh hysterically at which he reaped a black view of Stella. "Excuse. I did not want to seem arrogant." Stella nodded briefly and Cyron asked him to continue. "You have these robots seen the difference certainly. Anyway. I think that be missing of fur and shacks and only this pure gleam of metal." "Yes. You are right. I remember now. These things shone like a spearhead if one holds them against the sun." Chiron nodded confirmatively. "Yes. You consist completely of metal. Improve said, they pass kind of metal from one. We do not know from which one but it is guaranteed better and harder than ours. Everything white-washes at least after that." "Where you take this assumption from?" "I had thrown a spear against one of these robots. The spear bounced off and the robot did not have a scratch. In addition, it is logical. A technology which is developed so highly will well hardly use primitive materials or leave something to chance." Hargot was in a corner of the room during this one and shook the head only sadly. He suddenly said: "This would not have been allowed to pass everything, we had thought through and calculated everything anyway. Something therefore goes wrong again." Chiron looked strictly and penetrating at him on which he was silent again. "What does mean Hargot with that?", Stella confused asked. I could give you a suitable answer, however, this one would endanger too much and you could thus anyway begin nothing at the end." "Again one secret?", Cyron asked. "Yes, this is really only to your best one and would change nothing at the things which have happened or will happen still, however." "I okly believe you." "Good." "What does have it with these machine cannons on himself now?", Stella asked interestedly. "Well, this is no good question. You are very effective. The bullets penetrate as well as the every material known to us and make a sieve from everybody of. We were lucky that we have so mildly come from it. The standard throughput is 500 shots per minute." "And what means this exactly?" "This is called simple, that 500 Chafren could lose their life in every minute if every bullet meets one exactly and this with only a cannon." "But every robot had two of this anyway or?" "Exact. A thousandfold death of every fight unit and we were attacked of five pieces. We still live this a miracle." It became slackly Cyron in the stomach region. "But we can do what?" "We only can if anyway, then there is a catastrophe and all of us will die hope that they do not go further than up to the forests border. With a little luck they are only keen on us and do not bother all others. After all, only we have stood out and our scans are wandering like a ghost now by the network." "Well, this would be chance no sometimes anyway. The question only is what we do now?", Cyron asked. "The question rather is, we can do what at all?", Chiron replied. "I think that we should behave first quietly and do not spread greater restlessness. We have gained a little time now." "Spare", Stella started and looked at Casandra, "what is actually with this big wound?" "I do not know this either. In any case a smooth gun-shot wound is. No vital organs have been met and there also is not a bleeding." "It looks like as if the flesh was burned", pondered Cyron. "You have right. Looks actual according to that", Chiron replied. Stella stared at the cat lying in front of them. "Hargot. What does it look like. Can we let Casandra at you only? At least so long, come to strengths to her has again?" Hargot looked at the three tigers and consented. You carried for Casandra into the back part of the accommodation and put her on the bed standing there. "Be so kind and take care of her. We go in the meantime to Stella and Cyron and wonder what we further do", completed Chiron.

You went out to the riverbank at which Groodarn waited it. "Tigress Stella, tiger Cyron and tiger Chiron! What it looks, what do you plan as next?" "If you liked, then you can return to your cave or also to Dragobar only. We go to the village now and will wonder what we can do." The dragon growled agreeing and flew away. The three tigers went to the village.

Arrived at the house Stella opened the door and fell almost over her bought things. Chiron entered as the last and closed the door behind itself. He looked around and was impressed obviously. "You have prettily it." Cyron said, "thanks", and smiled. He intonated: "So we clear our things away now." You unpacked the food stocks and packed them after in the pre-town hall cellar. Stella took care in the meantime of the bought fruit and also the jewelry. "The store cupboard is breaking full. This reaches, to forly the next weeks", he called happily. Stella had disappeared in the bath. Cyron and Chiron sat down in the meantime at the table and Chiron poured everybody a cup of beer. He had saved some liters of this. After twenty minutes Stella came from the bath and down the stairs. Cyron looked at her and him the breath broke off. Chiron let the air escape audibly and whistled. Stella stood in front of them there and had decorated herself for Cyron. Had the artificial hair-pieces turned into the head fur and you these hung down on the left and on the right. She was like a goddess. In addition, she had himself one the bought cloths slung. She had slipped, though and she had to hold it tight so that it did not fall completely down. Cyron got warm around the heart and it wondered how long he already was not intimate with hims tigress any more. Chiron noticed the eroticism this one in the room was and felt uncomfortable, he wondered whether he had not turned up for the wrong time.

"Chiron", told Stella suddenly, "I would like to show you your room." She took him at her hand and led it up. Cyron had a look at the two suspiciously, got up and afterwards trudged. He would never let this tigress from the eyes in his life again. Stella led her guest in Tarja's room. "You will so, here stay and sleep for now. This is the room of your dearest young tigress, so keep it in honors." Chiron was delighted and nodded. Stella turned round to her husband. "What we do and both of us, now?" Cyron's view said everything. You left the room and went to next-door into theirs bedroom. "You think that it is right if we are striding to the act now and Chiron alone sits next-door? The walls have ears", Cyron pointed out. "You mean what with that? Shall he go along with that approximately?" "What? You are one for me." "There you are. I regard ihe as very intelligent and he will already know what it does." Cyron nodded and kissed his tigress.

Chiron took in the meantime a book and read, the meaning did not suit it after sexual adventures and if, then only with Tarja. Stella she looked like, nevertheless could not keep pace with dear to his although bite the to actual. In addition, the tigress was next-door, her mother he was by the head. His leg was easily still aching except for it. He had fortunately stopped bleeding at least. He took a look at his violation, sighed and shook the head. When Stella and Cyron strode to the deed or went over to atrocities said better in the adjoining room, Chiron tried to turn himself away with a book. However, this turned out well only moderately and when he had to think of Tarja and heard the desire noises from the adjoining room, he put the book aside. Little later, he simply closed the eyes and fell asleep.

Stella and Cyron were finally content and got up. "Have you listened what of Chiron?", Stella asked her male. "No." "What has him made? Well all the time about?" "No idea." "Shall we look to be on the safe side?" "Hmmm, could not harm. He still has the graze at the leg, just occurs to me. And what could have happened in the meantime, after all were not we particularly receptive." Both grinned at themselves. You knocked at the room door and no answer came. You knocked again but they waited in vain for an answer. The door was suddenly opened from inside and Chiron stood in front of them. "Chiron! Have we disturbed you? Please excuse, you have slept", Stella said conciliatorily. Then she watched at Chiron more exactly and twitched a little back. Of because of slept and only a graze at the thigh. The whole tomcat full of grazes, though not of some weapons and certain was not painful either. Stella must appreciating whistle and Cyron nod respectfully. "My dear great spender, the jungle really must be very healthy. No wonder that our daughter got pregnant just at the first date." Chiron winced embarrassingly touched, saw at himself down and blushed. Shi... hallows ehm goddess...!" "Paint head highly and go to take a shower now", Stella said giggling and went with her husband into the kitchen. Chiron still closed the door, looked around the room, cleaned everything and went to take a shower then shaking the head. He enjoyed the warm beams of the shower, dried fast itself and also went into the kitchen.

When he arrived and had sat down, he seemed to have calmed down again, too, merely the lady of the house and the head of the household grinned strangely. "Well, this is so", said Chiron. "But sponge about this did not have", Cyron replied, "to be seen clearly." "In the true sense of the word", Stella joked and got a reproachful look of Cyron for this. Cyron said: "Seriously, paint now so, however, we know what outside around there runs and that we are threatened. What shall we do?" "I think", told Chiron, "that we are into safety only. I do not think that the fight units come so fast to here if at all." "You mean what which happens as next?", Stella asked skillfully, to Chiron. "What I think this is not what inevitably at the end enters." "Good. We assume that this one, who these always are, the same think like us." "I then would assign mine to information into the network won, make a data comparison and work out a strategy." "What kind of strategy?" "Arousing a plan without a great sensation which makes it possible to let us disappear and with minimal effort." It was icy-cold the back down going on all threes at the thought. "I think we should divide up a night-watch which patrols through the village. I will have to take Pathenon, Hylas and Hadron into confidence." "Think you that this would be clever?", his tigress asked. "Yes. I think, that we look with eight eyes more than with two." Chiron nodded: "I will come along and can remain lively as long as me." Was pleased to accept Cyron. "We then would already have ten eyes." "However, we must assume of this that our adversaries can possibly see better in the dark than us." The tiger tomcats sighed. "So it will get a long and dangerous night. We prepare for it." Stella noticed: "Beautifully, but how you want to defend you?" "Hmhm. Good question, my treasure. We do not have much." Chiron thought it over. "We have nothing at all. It is us be able to do what the only one, to make quietly and unobtrusively and to warn of in the case of the case the other one us return into the house and pack our things to disappear." "I call this no real alternative", told Cyron and got up, "I am going to fetch the others now." He left the house.

After forty minutes he came back and had his friends. All of you sat down on the floor, Stella kindled a pleasant open fire and they talked. Chiron reported of his first ones meetings with the robots and its knowledge which it had collected together with Casandra. The evening gushed in, everyone had eaten what and was good despite the hopeless condition on this. You moved and spread out unobtrusively in the village. Cyron Stella took at her hand and her comfort donated. "No fear, love. These will not attack and not meet certainly in the next one either tonight." "I want to hope so and our tall goddess asks Bastet that she may protect you." Cyron winked at her merrily and also left the house. The tigress went into the cellar, opened a bottle of exquisite red wine, put herself in front of the fireplace and snatched herself a book. So she sat for several hours and nothing happened. It suddenly knocked at the door, it started and opened an opening. Hylas stood in front of that. "What is the matter, then? What has happened?" "No. Be unconcerned. I preferred to have a look only whether everything is all right at you." "This is nice of you. Everything is quiet here." "I okly then go on." He still raised a hand to the greeting briefly and disappeared behind the next house corner. Stella sat down again and fell asleep sometime.

Chapter 6

Mobilization

"Hello, hey wakes up!" "What?" Stella opened the eyes and Cyron stood in front of her. "Na, a sweet dream cat thinks. Have you slept well?" She yawned bravely. "Slept? Well, like me feel no five minutes." "I can imagine", he said and she gave a smile kindly. "What does have happened in the night?" "No, how I anticipated already nothing has happened." "We then hope that this also remains so." He nodded. It knocked at the door. Cyron went and opened. "Casandra!", he called happily. "Hello. I wanted to see like their you are so and prevent that you have the whole fun here alone." Cyron grinned and shook the head. "Of fun one cannot just talk but you may to this like." She was to divide the room with it into the room quartered to Chiron without further ado since he had nothing however.

Every night went her on patrol and nothing happened above days, weeks and at the end over months. After seven months they gave up. "Nothing has happened till now therefore it also will have so here. We will dissolve the night-watches. There is no sensible reason furthermore every night to have a fight over the ears. No more dangers in addition, all of us have fallen in a kind of routine and see if it depends on it anyway." "You are right", told Chiron. "It does not have meaning in this way", Casandra interfered. "And now?", Stella asked. Cyron looked at his marriage tigress. "We soften what? I will tell you what we do. We pack our things. You make yourself and then I call for Groodarn style and and both of us, Chiron also flies Casandra to Strongham, if it liked. We might produce enough distance to everything expect again with that and case should an attack be carried out anyway, we hold our friends and the villagers up on the outside. Except for it the fight robots should need a while until they have got that we are no more in Felgan. Until they are in Strongham, we perhaps have dropped something new one we." Everyone, even Casandra mumbled agreeing. "This is no a fantastic idea", it slipped Chiron out. "It was enormously pleased that it would finally see its Tarja again. You went onto the rooms and packed their things. Cyron disappeared out of the house for a short while. He said the other notification, so that these knew where they stayed and did not worry. In addition, he transmitted the decision to dissolve the night-watches. There was not one they this one complained and everyone was rather glad that sleep through could correctly a night finally again. When Cyron returned, everyone already sat in the kitchen and expected it. "You are, ah, there", said his wife. "Pants. Where should I be otherwise? The others approve of our decision. Departure therefore ours stands nothing more in the way." Cyron fetched the little equipment which the dragon had given it from the bag. "I then will call our Groodarn." He pressed the only button which was on the transmitter. "I think this okly was it. We go with our things to the riverbank and wait there."

You set out. Arrived at the river they put their things down and Cyron suddenly asked Chiron for this device which he had used just now. Gave it Cyron. He shouted to the wildcat: "You please come here, Casandra." He turned the thing to and fro and looked at it thoroughly. The cat approached to him and also looked. "What you mean, this looks like very much anyway after same technology which also has produced the fight robots." Casandra nodded: "You have right." And to Cyron turned round: "Of whom you have this and since when?" Cyron did not need to think it over. "We have this got of Groodarn, a transmitter is. The dragon carries the receiver being part of it at himself. He gave him to us in the evening on which we appeared at Chiron." Everyone stopped short. "This sounds moment", pondered Cyron, "almost so as if the transmitter and the attack of the robots could be connected." Chiron looked at Casandra and both nodded heads put easily crookedly. "It looks even damned strong after that." "I, however, have not used her for this time", assured Cyron. "The mobilization is then cancelled by the transmitter frequency. But perhaps permanently sends the part on any frequency and this has triggered the attack. What do you still know about this?" "No, Groodarn could tell us nothing about this. He only thought that this lay around in the mountains and would consist of a receiver and more transmitter all in all. No idea like it works, it just simply is working." Casandra thought it over: "I think more than we can introduce ourselves tells behind this there. I think we should hatch a plan about this, if we have arrived in Strongham, which has to be done. I am strongly convinced that we must to the mountains because the key lies there." Chiron stared into the sky and took deep breath deeply. "Perhaps we should arrange a larger group. We must be prepared for it that we have to do it with further robots and we can use every hand there." This was plausible. A good hour was last by now and it still was of Groodarn to see nothing. Cyron took the transmitter and pressed the button repeated. You waited. Another two hours passed and nothing still happened. They enervatedly finally gave up. "What is not correct there. Groodarn should be here already already", Stella mumbled. "You are right, darling. Something is bad there or the transmitter is broken." You went back to the village and into her house. After they had unpacked her things again, they got together. "Our idea is wrecked well with that", said Cyron. Casandra said: "Quite the reverse, we are getting active now. We drum so many villagers ready for battle as we can together and move in the direction of the jungle." "And then?", Chiron asked. "And then we see further. Fact is anyway that there is something there in the forests and this shall be protected. All of us have seen and felt the consequences this one. Months have passed since then and does the transmitter suddenly not work any more? I do not believe in a defect or chance. No! Something or somebody would like us to stay and to be able to not fetch help so fast." The knowledge which had said Casandra met all of them like a cold blow. All of you had something similar imaginarily to say it avoided, however. "Damned dung", Cyron rumbled, "come Chiron, we mobilize our friends and take those, these liked at once to come along." The two left the house and let the females alone. "It is already late afternoon and I should slowly care about the dinner", Stella said and was about into the cellar. Casandra did not bear she alone for a long time and afterwards came. "Can I help you?" "Yes, with pleasure. We should bring sufficient meat highly and provide a barrel of salt meat as well as put several bowls with fruit on the table." Within twenty minutes they were ready. There was a gigantic banquet in the kitchen. Meanwhile, Chiron and Cyron were not idle and had apart from their three friends, quite young lynx still still reconciles sabertooth tigers, a snowleopard tomcat and one in the tow rope. Cyron opened the door and called: "May we do come in kindest?" "Yes but natural. Like much are you, then?" "Och. Look itself." Within seconds the first floor was filled eight predatory big cats and Stella, Cyron Chiron and Casandra still arrived. Stella shone. "Wants everyone to go along with that?" "Pants. You look forward to an adventure. Primarily the lynx girl there behind on the left. Do you see her? She has come with her four pawing sabertooth friend." Stella smiled in her direction. "Mine love friends", Chiron opened the speech, "I thank you that their have seemed to it. Something makes it first comfortable you, eats and drinks. We will declare you it goes and what exactly comes toward us around what meanwhile." He submitted the word to Cyron. "Well, so. What is the following us. ..." He explained about what it was at the whole thing for over two hours and no single detail left out. Stella, Casandra or Chiron supplemented something now and then. The other cats only sat there and listened. From time to time they got restless and whispered with each other. They were ready at the end of the explanations to answer questions and the question before which everyone had been afraid promptly came. The lynx female asked: "Have you discovered a weak point? Do you know how one can destroy it?" Chiron sighed. "No, we do not know this. You have guaranteed a weak point but we have no idea where we shall look for these." A whispering went by the group. "Shall this mean that the whole becomes an Ascension Day command?", one of the sabertooth tigers called. "I would not want to mention it so, however, the nail on the head meets." That one said: "Ok, it is well that you are so honest. I am for my part." He got up, turns round to the others and asked: "Who does come along still?" At first everyone was left, but then, another sabertooth tiger got up, the lynx female and their friend then rumbled agreeing. The others still seemed undecided. "Want you or something us everyone to molder here do lives?", the four pawing sabertooth cat suddenly asked. These sat, still those looked at it one could at their facial expression and the game of the ears see that they held an inner fight. The first got up and rests followed, to there everyone had determinedly the risk to be come in to the end finally. You looked at each other and nodded cheering themselves up. Chiron was impressed by the lynx and its friend. You splint enough to have strength and determination to come together the whole group again and again. What they needed exactly this.

An infernal noise suddenly broke out outside. The cats of the village ran through the streets and shouted in panic. Cyron tore up the door to go out , he clashed with Hargot there. "Cyron, Chiron and everyone. Come out and see what passed", the ocelot called excitedly. You stepped in front of the house and looked around. A shadow darkened suddenly the sun. You stared up and stiffened. The heaven was filled up with at least ten dragons. You circled over the village and the meadow lying in front of that as well as over the river. One of them saw the group in front of the house, gave a cry and buzzed down. You were frightened and wanted to escape into the house already, Stella stopped short there. "Just do not run away. Do not be afraid, these are friends." He had recognized Groodarn. Hargot nodded eagerly. "Is not this terrific?" "But how it comes to that?", she asked the ocelot. "Groodarn had listened of the occurrences from different mouths and it was in worry and wanted to see according to the rightist now after he had heard nothing more from you over months." Stella was enthusiastic and clapped her hands. Groodarn of course had stopped his dive, glided over her heads and let off repeats a cry in bulk. Everyone comes along with to the riverbank. Cyron did not call here be able to land the dragons. You ran they no ran from this out of village and to the river. Groodarn had already landed. Stella ran towards it, took him at the head and kissed him. "I am pleased to see you so infinitely. We had feared that something has happened to you." "Hello, tigress Stella. Nothing does not pass any fear, me so fast. But seriously. How do you come onto it?" "We had requested you by transmitters this morning but you have not appeared." The dragon suddenly seemed thoughtful. "I think this is due to many factors and primarily also due to it what I have brought you." "You have what fine, then?" "Moment." He emitted a very high whistle and the around stationary cats were astonished about it. Most were anyway astonished except for it. But the great astonishment was just up-to-date and should not end so fast either. Another dragon landed and touched down besides Groodarn. Two Chafren unfastened themselves and came down. Stella suddenly got moist eyes and gave a shrill cry. Chiron noticed that something was not correct and watched her. Ran toward a tiger as stung by the tarantula, the just from this dragon had climbed down for Stella. For any incomprehensible reason it felt drawn in the direction in which Stella had just run. He walked for three steps and looked more exactly. She suddenly bellowed on and hers legs did not seem to be able run so fast as them at all should, too. "Tarja!", he yelled, "it is Tarja!" As he arrived mother and daughter still overwhelmed themselves with kisses. He braked there and typed Stella on the shoulder. "May I, too?", he asked. "But natural, Chiron." She let hers daughter off and Chiron built up in front of his tigress. She looked at hims and her face was wet in front of tears of the joy. She hugged him and kissed him hotly and heartily. "And the one primarily in your condition. I am so pleased to see you again finally", told Chiron and sobbed, "but what you do here?" "No worry, my dearest tomcat. I already have taken our young one to the world two months ago and Sitara and Finlay raise it like characteristic of him. But I was worried so that I simply had to come here." Stella shouted and indicated Cyron to come fast to them. "We wanted to come to you already this morning to Strongham, however, Groodarn had not reacted to our ringing signals. In addition, a couple of unpleasant things have happened here." "I know I know, kind. Groodarn has reported it to me. After that, we have taken the decision to set out and to see according to the rightist. How I do not see too late." You hugged yourself and did not let yourself any more in bulk. Cyron which had arrived by then simply mixed between this and cuddled and hugged both simultaneously. So they stood as a big joyful wool ball for several minutes. Groodarn called to them over that there would be even further surprises and they abandoned each other. "What then, still more surprises?", asked Cyron, "you know anyway I love surprises. Then paint here with that." Tarja shone like a honeycake meanwhile and cuddled up to Chiron. He held she tight in his arms and both enjoyed silently the following play. A dragon landed after the other one on the bank of the river, one did not recognize at the end any more that there was a sandy beach. The big animals scattered lay everywhere and dozens of Chafren which had increased and got closer of their backs scurried between them around. All of you were strange and every lot of wolves, bull, rope reindeer, was under them. In the crowd five griffins suddenly appeared, these had followed in the group spontaneously and even a unicorn was there, also a Pegasus. Cyron and hims female looked at the colored hustle and bustle with growing enthusiasm. Cyron suddenly stopped short. He had rediscovered a couple of known faces. He recognized two hyenas which also had appeared. He approached them and welcomed them friendly. "Yes hello. Whom do we have there, then?", he asked with innocence expression. The two looked at him and had to grin. Lyra replied: "Na, if this is not Mister unbelief." Cyron nodded and started to laugh. "We should call everyone together and meet on the village square", he said to the two. You nodded and went in the direction which showed them Cyron. He shouted and waved about with his hands in the air. The crowd calmed down gradually and looked at him. "Ok. So I am pleased that all of you have come and it would like to ask you to go onto the village square. We are assembling there now. There is only to eat and to drink what there. Everything else then will be found." Groodarn emitted, a short cry and the group stopped. The dragon cried: "Moment still, a couple of whole important things still are in my bags." Tarja cried: "Right, I almost would this have forgotten. There are weapons in the bags of the dragons. One of the dragons had looked for a new cave and had discovered a whole store." Cyron approached Groodarn, opened one of the bags and looked. What offered himself to it was a sight of the joy. He shouted open "Yeah, this is more than top. You must this have seen people." It was effective in and suddenly disappeared with the whole upper part of the body in this. The dragon had to grin spontaneously. Cyron paused in this position all of two minutes. He then had quiff found what apparently. He groaned briefly and transported a big device to the light of the evening. Chiron stiffened. "This is, this is", he stuttered, "this cannot be. We just have people everybodies increased our winning chances ten-fold." Cyron held a machine cannon in his hands.

You tackled everyone and dragged the equipment, suitcases, chests and weapons on the village square. When they were ready and all dragons unloaded, they scratched themselves on the place together. Cyron, Chiron, Stella, Tarja and also Casandra had gone and on the village fountain stood around a better summary to get and to be able to provide with a better hearing around themselves. You declared for the repeated time what has brought them together and about what it was. The crowd was already pre-informed and ready to die if it depended on it. Cyron gave Chiron a smile. "Who would have thought this?" This one replied: "Yes, these are out everything undreamt-of sees turns and it out so as if we had a real chance to be able to enter into the base and answers to our questions would do good." You hugged yourself with joy. "Okly then let us eat and drink what now, it exclaimed". The remaining villagers had scraped their stocks together in the brevity and fed the group, from now. These Cyron began to calculate, one Pegasus, five griffins, two hyenas, six wolves, two sabertooth tigers, a lynx passed, two fox dew reindeer, a vixen, four bulls, a unicorn and ten dragons for one together with fourpaws, a Tigertaur. His friends Hadron, Hylas, Pathenon, he himself and Chiron, joined. So your group consisted of altogether forty-one persons. Wow, this was more than it had expected. They would run everything down with that. Stella suddenly put a hand on its shoulder. She said: "My darling, looks like it you just calculate our strength and our chances." It looked at her and nodded. "Good. I hope that you have included us also." "What? You want to come along?" Stella nodded invitingly. Cyron looked unsafely to Chiron and picked it at the arm. "You!" "There is what?" "Our females want to come along." Cyron looked Chiron into the eyes. "No, you do not soften a joke. If Stella wants to come along, then she shall do it. I do not know but Tarja." Cyron looked past and on its daughter to Chiron. "She has got very opulent and tight round the top." Chiron nodded. "Yes, it has given birth two months ago. She, however, could not differently and really wanted to come here." Cyron nodded. "It will get problems if no young one drinks hers milk." Chiron twitched with the shoulders. "She has got adult even if perhaps one does not have the impression absolutely. She will know what it does and what it can expect of herself." Cyron knocked the eyelids down and turned to its female. "You okly come along. We are then forty-four persons with that. Who has by the way the whole greens dragged?", he asked him. This one looked at it and then into the round. "No idea it, however, seems to the herbivores to taste nice." "Yes, not cares also." It smiled into the round and everybody whom his look met smiled back. Tarja rose and nudged Chiron. She took him at her hand and ridiculed him into her parental home. Stella and Cyron noticed this and winked at themselves grinning. "Nice that the perfect couple is united finally again", told Hargot. He had unnoticedly set himself crept and itself to them. The tiger tomcat looked at the ocelot, winked at him mischievously. "Age matchmakers. How you have turned this again." The ocelot established the ears aside and an innocent look. "I? Not me!" But it could not keep back a smile and Cyron nudged it friendly into the arm.

Tarja opened the front door, entered and breathed deeply deeply. Chiron was left behind her and hugged she heartily. She bit for him playfully into the arm. "Au! However, this was aching." "It also should." She threw her head seductively behind and looked at it provocatively. "So. So you would like to be caught." "Or you have thought that I simply give myself to you so natural?" Chiron's hunting desire was aroused. He approached Tarja, packed she, drew she to himself and kissed she. Hers thought hims tongue drilled really into hims mouth and both flattered themselves. Your very luxuriant bust nestled to theirs pleura and it got sudden damply. You stopped kissing yourself and looked down at their. "Oh, it time becomes my milk to milking again." She went up the stairs and into the bathroom. Chiron was curious and entered the room shortly after her. "Can I help you?" She looked at him and shook the head. "It one is rather annoying task which will stop one more couple of weeks. It is only unpleasant that my breasts are very sensitive. I planned actually many matters with you but these must wait only." Sighed you and he looked at them expectantly. "Is not so bad anyway. This can wait. It is only important that you are with me finally again. If you knew how I have missed you very much." You were ready what one oddly enough did not see in her chest measurement took a washcloth and this one wiped herself nipples and the surrounding fur clean. Have you given our whelp a name already?" "Yes but natural." "He is said what, then?" "His name is Apophis." She turned to Chiron, hugged him and cuddled into his fur. "You have missed me also, can introduce more as you to you." He held she in the arms and sighed quietly. So they stood for about twenty minutes and simply held themselves tight only mutually. The tomcat opened his eyes and looked at his partner lovingly. She breathed for him "thank you." "Thanks? For what? I have to thank." "No. I you. She kissed him full of affection, solved herself and went back to the door." As both at the village square arrived they were surprised completely by the sight which offered itself to them. The AnChafren dance on the place, they were lively and celebrated their meeting. Cyron saw the two appearing and went to them, "Is this a thing, isn't it, anyway? Who would have it said thought this", and laughed. He looked at Chiron and noticed his shining eyes. "Na son in law, everything OK with you?" Chiron looked at him and nodded intensely. Tarja had got the salutation between hers father and dear to hers and started to shine. The celebration lasted for another another three hours, and stationary foot after that everyone was so tired that they dragged themselves to her houses and accommodations allocated fell asleep.

Chapter 7

Weapons

Himself the last also had woken up and had exercised away her party tomcat, taken a shower away or had breakfast away, in the next morning toward ten o'clock. Everyone met on the village square around the lunchtime and got stuck into the weapons and other objects that way. "Then let us one can do everything with that see what", said to Cyron to the others skillfully and continued, "Everything packs it all in and brings it on the meadow in front of the village." The concept meadow was understated perhaps a little. It rather was an area of around two square kilometers on which no tree and no bush stood. It was merely limited by woods on its edges. You piled everything up around yourself and sat down in a semicircle in front of Cyron and Chiron. Your faces betrayed a certain strain. In addition, everyone had accepted at the celebration that the two tiger tomcats are the leaders of the group and accepted without grumbling that orders assigned the two. After all, they already had had enemy contact and more than all others knew what it expects. "Ok everybodies. What we expect no heroic courage and also no bravado is. We would not like and himself and the others unnecessarily takes to danger, that somebody sets himself up as hero here. The matter will already still become precariously enough", Chiron started began. Everyone nodded and agreeing murmuring sounded, however, a smile also darted over the face. Cyron said: "Beautiful, we then start." He established a heavy face and opened the first box. Only papers were into it. It ransacked one packing of this and his face brightened up. "These are building plans." "Building plans?", asked the Pegasus. "Yes, it is building plans and operating instructions for the weapons, said more exactly which we are in front of us have." Joy seized everyone and let the hearts beat faster. "Make further, in bulk", one of the wolves told. "You really still will slowly be able expect it well, or what?", another wolf replied. Everyone had to laugh. Cyron grinned at Chiron, then the other and shook the head. "Wonderful. I have an idea. They explain briefly we search the instructions, find the fitting weapon to this, try them out and the one who certainly would like to have them simply reports." Was carried out agreeing nod. Chiron praised: "Idea of super then paint in bulk." The first instructions snatched themselves Cyron. "Listen okly." He looked around under the weapons and raised a smaller, takes hold of an inconspicuous equipment highly. "It is at this device around a radio equipment. Altogether fifty devices is available. Therefore everybody gets one. One can communicate via larger distances with it. For the speaking contact neither a view nor a direct hearing connection are necessary. One does not have to stay in the same building or at the same place." Cyron kept the head crooked and looked at the little inconspicuous small box in his hand. He looked at Chiron and hes one understood what it intended. He burrowed in the equipment lying around briefly and found another box which was already half open and bingo completely raised the lid. These were the remaining radio transceivers. He had a look at it, stepped to Cyron. You looked on the instructions and twiddled with a couple of buttons. A short sound sequence suddenly rang, it was then quiet again. Both looked again on the instructions and nodded at themselves briefly. "Well, we try it out now." Chiron went left with the radio equipment and disappeared behind the next house corner. His voice suddenly sounded from the device. <"Can you hear me?"> <"Yes, we hear you loudly and clearly."> <"Super. The things work apparently perfectly. Can you see me?"> <"No, we cannot. Where are you, then?"> <"Here."> <"Is here where?"> <"Na here. Look up."> At this moment the dragon shot one away over theirs heads and Chiron would receive down from its back. <"Okly let the nonsense and come be able to make we here further again with that."> <"Yes daddy."> An occasional laughter spread out.

Stella, Tarja and Casandra who sat and saw everything on the edge rolled the eyes. Stella mumbled: "Guys." Cyron put the ears aside and shook the head. He mumbled quietly: "Whelps." Everyone calmed themselves again and Cyron distributed the radio transceivers so after. One of the first steps was taken care of with that if also the small one. Chiron came back and joined hims father-in-law again. This one knocked appreciating he continued the demonstration on the shoulder and her. Cyron took the next papers to his hand and he read himself through. He suddenly winced, however, found himself again fast, however. The others got restless due to his reaction to the read. "Ok, everybodies. It is getting serious now. We come to the first firearms." He swallowed briefly, gave Chiron the instructions, approached one of the boxes full of determination and opened them. His nodding showed that he had thought for what he was looking. Many made a long neck to see as much as possible. Cyron revealed eleven weapons and carried them to Chiron. Chiron took on the word: "Well, so. We have eleven pulsed laser hand weapons here. The force corresponds to a megawatt that are converted and 10,000 spears hit this one on a point on her aim valued roughly simultaneously." A whispering went by the rows. No-one had expected such a strength. People remain quietly. "This is first the beginning and these are the smallest weapons as it looks." Stella was filled with consternation and bowed her head. The discovery of these weapons was worthy of more as gold and she got conscious that they would never have had a chance without these weapons. All of you would have run in the safe death. "Cyron, you want to make further?", Chiron asked. He nodded, took charge of the instructions. Chiron snatched himself one the lasers and the weapon looked. "This weapon is activated over a switch at the back end", declared Cyron. Chiron found the switch and operated it. A whistling highly sounded, which one always more increased its frequency and, at long last, completely disappeared. One can read the state of charge from the left side. "If the joist is green, the weapon is loaded fully, it is yellow, the weapon is half-filled and it is in the red area, only still few shots then are in it before it must to the charging point. This weapon is in the yellow area, however, is not bad since a charging point must lie in one of the boxes. This here at least is in it. Now so Chiron will demonstrate the weapon." Chiron turned in the direction of the free field, raised his hand in which the weapon was and operated the trigger. A hissing muffledly did not sound more. This one trod light beam at the front end of the weapon, nothing did itself, however, where the light beam the ground met, seemed to him there to want to burst apart from one. There was a deafening bang and soil was whirled up several meters highly. The Chafren were frightened and got up. Unrest took hold of her and after the dust had put itself, everyone saw a picture of the devastation. The laser beam had a hole of a good meter of diameters burned to the ground and left a black partial melted soil. Cyron looked depressedly and Chiron deactivated the pulsed laser again. "Well would say, it cleared its throat, that this was very impressive." Everyone forwarded it and after so quiet retracted place and it again again, too. "It is only eleven weapons of this so there. I would suggest that it is the best if we would divide groups up just. The group leaders get such a hand weapon, for the others we also find what. At the end every group should have one at least of every weapon way so that are the powers of the groups appropriately at once and we do not get any problems at the end if we should meet difficulties." Chiron seized the word: "So who does report voluntarily as a group leader?" Moderate sympathy. It seemed to himself to trust no-one so properly, everyone had too much respect for the power of these weapons. "Therefore everybodies, me please you. If it calms you, then I take one", said to Cyron. Chiron went to one of the boxes and rooted in this. "Had I forgotten myself almost oh yes. Of course there are carrying loops and carrier bags for everything." Himself he distributed the carrier bags with Cyron for the radio transceivers and everyone fastened them around the hips. "Na, this sees correctly terrifically out anyway when everybody is hung with a equipment at the belt. We still need people these would buckle on a weapon, there are these elegant carrying loops for it which are fastened around the thigh now." He felt like on a bazaar at the attempt to bring a valuable product to the Chafre and the Chafra. The lynx finally got up and proceeded. "I take one if the tomcats are not enough males, we then make this to females." "Well, the weapon is here and here the strap." He submitted the things to the female. The fetching stere fastened itself around the right thigh, these tightened her and put the pulsed laser with a casual movement into the loop. Movement was coming into the troop now. Group of one was formed. Furthermore it consisted of the lynx as a leader, hers four pawing sabertooth friend, for a sabertooth tiger, a unicorn and a wolf. You had followed the courageous female spontaneously. Your four pawing friend was you arrested anyway and stuck by her like bad luck to sulfur. "Please", Chiron asked, "a little out of the way set the first group, we then do not lose the summary. But has it nevertheless left, please. You receive even further weapons." The lynx nodded and scratched her faithful ones around himself. The second group also was found fast. The only Tigertaur became a leader in the troop, a bull, a wolf and two griffins followed him. Group of three was led by a wolf and the two hyenas belonged to him, a griffin and a bull. Group of four was formed by a vixen, two bulls, a sabertooth tiger and led by a griffin. The Pegasus led the fifth group and consisted of two griffins, a wolf and a fox-taur, in addition. The rest, that is a fox-taur and three wolves which were cited by Hylas, formed the sixth group. The seventh and thus last and separate group consisted of Cyron as a leader and of Pathenon, Chiron, Tarja, Stella, Hadron and Casandra as a comrade-in-arms. "Just please be so nice and collect into this one groups made. However, stays because it still goes on", Cyron cried in the unrest. In vain. Chiron finally yelled in the commotion briefly: "Huhu! Hello! Calming everyone and staying." He waved the arms about. The Chafren assembled around their respective leader. Chiron and Cyron went around and submitted the pulsed lasers as well as the corresponding carrying loops. All group leaders were considerably recognizable now since they had fastened a belt around the thigh in which an absolutely fatal weapon was. Chiron rooted in the papers and Cyron continued hims explanations: "The four left-over laser beam weapons remain in reserve and are in special cases distributed." Stella looked at her tomcat and admired his professionalism. Chiron had found the next piece of jewelry in the meantime and showed the notes Cyron. Both looked at the drawings and explanations. Cyron finally looked, himself up around and fox rope reindeer pointed at the two, the tiger-taur and the Pegasus. "We okly carry on. Please, the fox-taur which is straight group leaders now passes his hand weapon on to the representative. Yes, the Pegasus has already done this into default of a hand. We must amend something as we have just noticed but this changes nothing at the present list within the groups." The winged horse and the fox-taur looked at themselves crookedly. The Pegasus neighed quietly on and the fox-taur twitched with the shoulders. He submitted the laser and this therefore landed with a griffin. "Fine. I am pleased if I shall be honest, that we get everyone along so well and actually make it together a little on the legs here deliver." Everyone looked at each other and nodded at themselves friendly. 'This is the most important. We must form a unit and be able to trust us under each other blindly', Cyron pondered. Chiron went with the plans to another case, opened them and looked. He packed something from a packing which turned out from headband. Something still hung on it at this headband, though. A big metal piece was recognizably and on the other one a kind of rope, which consisted of all sorts of colors on one side. Chiron took the headband, lifted it up and moved at the rope. This did not seem to take any end and it began to wind it round the arm. Everyone watched what would tensely come now. After the tiger tomcat had good four meters of the rope on the arm, he pulled the big metal piece out of the box which obviously was provided with several fastening straps. These straps were great enough that the body of a Taur could be enclosed by it. Chiron braked a step with the whole junk toward Cyron and asked him to help his. What it planned understood Cyron. "I would like to ask the tiger-taur to come to us." The called jutted out to and imagined yourself on the two: "My name is Helios." "Helios? Hmhm. A beautiful name", told Chiron and Cyron expanded, "Good, Helios. We buckle a platform on for you now, however, this is only the basic base. You probably will not recognize yourself at the end." Helios nodded briefly and they continued. Cyron took a blanket and put it the Taur on the back, it then took the base plate, put it about this and held it tight. Chiron tampered in the meantime with the straps. He pondered loudly: "This strap that is comes around the chest and this here around the belly." He tightened the straps. "If they should be too tight, ..., let know we then loosen this one a little", he completed. The tiger-taur shook the head. "No. You make this good very much. Match till now perfectly." "Still improve." He took a strap still left-over and the taur looked at at it and. "Ah. This one is for the back specification. Please, ehm excuses if I embarrass you now." "Touch why much?" He had just pronounced it, there Chiron already had stepped with the strap behind Helios, put his hand under the tail and moved through the strap under the tail root. The tiger-taur was surprised a little anyway and mumbled. "I had warned you." He nodded and calmed down again. "The base is created so so that." The last strap was tightened and encompassed Helio's body in the back region. Chiron finally freed his arm from the putative rope and addressed the taur: "Stop beautifully so, we are fetching the rest of your equipment now." Worked, said. The two tiger tomcats went to one of the smaller chests and looked. You had to whistle both. Their reaction produced, that some necks got long, primarily the one of Helios again. "This is really a thing", said Cyron. Chiron nodded and was effective into the chest. Cyron grasped it and they transported a part to day that took everyone the breath away, dragged it to Helios and put it down in front of him. Cyron said loudly enough, "good that it is at this weapon it around a light laser cannon everyone could get on. It is designed as a dual weapon and appropriately heavy. It therefore is of the rope reindeer carried." Helios looked at the weapon lying in front of it and laid out the ears. "No worry although it is serious will not charge you excessively, however. You will get used to it." The tiger-taur mumbled something incomprehensible, however, submitted to its fate. All others particularly attentively tracked taur which came now. The two tigers lifted the double weapon, the taur bent its upper part of the body forwards, the device therefore could be heaved over him to its position. They then put the laser cannons into the corresponding cut-outs and clicked them in with a clicking loudly into the base plate. The back of the taur was flanked on the left and right side, from one laser cannon each now. However, the cannons hung rather sadly with the courses down and everybody noticed this. "How it shall use the thing, then?", one asked, the fox-taur, I also after all get well such a part fastened on the back." Chiron smiled. "Yes, this is the whole point at the thing." He unraveled the rope and gave the taur the headband into his hands. "Well, pays attention. These light double cannons are steered by brain current sensors." He pointed at the colored rope. "This here is not simply a rope but and the conversion unit this is the interconnecting cable between the headband this contains the sensors which one evaluates and in the weapon control feeds in the taken data." Chiron explained tiger-taur has to lay out this the headband like it briefly and submitted the instructions to it. "Read her through for you and learn well to handle that. Life depends us on it everyone." Helios felt honored. Cyron said loudly: "Ok, the part will Helios try out and demonstrate now." The tiger-taur winced. "Shall I what?" Chiron nodded at him cheering up. "Only." Helios read in the instructions and Chiron helped him at it. "Since. It stands there. Ok, now you." The taur took the headband and it touched down. It strangely matched wonderfully, however. He gripped on the left-hand side to the headband and operated a little switch. At first nothing at all happened. A grumbling suddenly sounded and the motoricity of the weapon leadership got active. The laser cannons lifted their courses and lined up parallel. Your runs courses led on the left and on the right at the body of the taur past and he seemed virtually dangerous. It operated another little switch on the right side of the headband this time and the laser cannons woke up for the life. Gave they this one the whistle resembled that one of the hand weapons, was, however, fundamentally louder and seemed to fulfill the complete air. The indication of the weapons was complete in the green area. Helios tipped the small metal fin with a hand which rose away of the headband still into the air and therefore of hims head. The putative small plate also woke up and turns in front of hims right eye. "It is, it is..." He was looking for the right words. "I lack the words to describe it this small plate here." He looked on the description documents. "Ah!", he called, "a tactical monitor is." Many softened great eyes but everyone remained disciplined sit. What would happen knew no-one. The description read himself briefly and in single sections through the taur thought. He suddenly said: "I understand the system now, this is really in an interesting way. I think it and the weapons do it." He turned the head left and the weapons followed with a mumbling the movement quietly. The same happened to the right. He grasped all unrest. Chiron and Cyron were pleased that they learned dealing with the weapons so fast. The taur turned the head up and the weapons followed also here. When he turns, however, the whole upper part of the body and got into the field of fire of the left or right cannon, this deactivated itself automatically. The question was also clarified with that whether one could shoot himself by a clumsy body movement. One could not since the weapons protected their carrier and adapted independently to his movement do it. Helios looked around. He cried: "Wow, if I see you would know what everything." "What see you, then", called the Pegasus. "If I look on the nearer areas, then I see the surroundings on the monitor quite normally. If I further look in distance, then objects lying remotely are extended and close fetched more nearly." He looked on the description. "It is the correct expression for it that remote tactical aim objects are zoomed in on close and are classified after their dangerousness automatically. Harmless fixed objects are highlightedly, mobile or active not represented pale green, on the other hand, potential threats seem red." He looked up and roamed with his view over the edge of the forest lying remotely. "Nothing. He said everything in the green area." "If I look on living objects, then the most impressive happens after few seconds, however. The view changes and the monitor shows persons in the infrared sector. This means well that I do not see you directly but your outlines and the thermal radiation of your bodies going out." You looked on the taur fascinated and listened to hims descriptions. He walked for a piece in the direction of the free meadow and envisaged the edge of the forest. The advertisement confirmed its assumption nothing moved. He imagined an aim object, which to destroy he wants and the weapons fired a short salvo. The taur went back a step and everyone was frightened. He deactivated his weapons and removed the headband. What had happened?

There was a gigantic explosion and in a radius of twenty meters there was to see soil only still charred. This one, these himself had everyone them with an effect calculatedly but not it bot. was the taur to be allowed to carry such a weapon concernedly but also impressively now. Tauren and also the Pegasus had quite wildly now to get their weapons the other. An hour the two were fox-taur also equipped and had brought their first exercise behind themselves after about. The Pegasus was coming to the row now. The two tiger tomcats Chiron and Cyron proceeded the three for another box, these snatched themselves into platform meaning much to it and went just the same in front of, as in the case of taur. This platform was fundamentally larger, though. When this had happened, both opened one of the big chests and whistled appreciating. Chiron thought, "He blows our enemies quite alone away with that", and Cyron sighed. The cannons were so big and heavy that they had to carry one together of this. At the end were both of them in front of the Pegasus and this one stood concernedly. "Well, my good one. This is for you." Ikarus was by the way called the flying horse, he, nodded briefly and was ready for its task. You heaved only this one cons and then laser beam weapon raked this one on the platform and they let click in. The head of the Pegasus also was wrapped in a headband. This was steered completely over the brain currents differently than at the other weapons, however. The Pegasus stood there and nothing happened. Everyone seemed somehow helpless. He then turned the eyes out of pure despair in the direction of the tactical monitor and movement suddenly came purely. The weapons were fed with energy and moved into their position, the monitor turned round in front of the right eye and passed its information on to the horse. "What looks it actually fly out? I think that the burden is not insignificant at all anyway", Chiron said. The Pegasus took this as an opportunity to try it out. He spread his wings below the cannons and began to beat with them. Within few seconds he rose into the air, a round shifts and a salvo handed in on the edge of the forest. Everyone yelled out virtually panic-strickenly with horror. The edge of the forest seemed to have exploded and the ruins of the met trees flew almost to in front of their feet. "Oh you shit", it slipped Tarja out. Stella sucked the breath audibly. Cyron grinned and winked at Chiron. He seemed to be exact in hims element. He seemed so at all as if it had never done something other. Ikarus was surprised by the effect of its weapons just the same as all others and landed on the ground a little unsafely. He turned the eyes shortly after the left above and the monitor released his right eye again and the weapons deactivated themselves. "I call this no clean demonstration anyway", Cyron crowed. Pegasus still gave this the description between the teeth and his this one sat down between his friends. One of the griffins relieved him of them and together they started to read. "Well, look what us still beautiful have." Smaller handguns lay in another big case. This was very easy hand lasers. They had more than one hundred pieces of this and after the distribution everybody therefore had a weapon.

Everyone except for the unicorn. Everyone looked at the QuChafra. The mare seemed funny to herself like devoid of every defense. "No worry we have not forgotten you", admonished Chiron everyone to the quiet. He waved to the unicorn to brake more nearly. "My name is Sandra", she said with a bell-like voice. Cyron knocked for her timidly on the neck. "Hmhm and since you have a wonderful name, are you getting whole what now, too, quiff." Stella shook the head and smiled a little. One had to let her for her male, he knew the crowd like one motivated. Chiron prepared to open one of the last big chests finished this also and Cyron got the known platform out from a box standing besides that. The rest went off as had. The platform was buckled and the sensor rope touched over the forehead. The weapons were only missing now. Cyron stepped to Chiron, the one in front of the chest knelt, also knelt down and looked. Both of you got up, looked at himself and Chiron looked over Cyron's shoulder furtively to the unicorn mare over. You stood there a whole while, talked and seemed to be undecided. Cyron went up to Sandra and whispered her something into the ear. After that, it followed him to the chest in front of which Chiron undecidedly still stood. She looked and was not astonished badly. Two gigantic double cannons lay in the chest. These looked differently than the laser cannons, though. Here this had a narrow, slim run and no power meters, instead several big drums were in the back part. "Think you that you can carry the parts?", Chiron asked the mare worriedly. She looked at the two tigers. "I already think. We simply try it, with an a little exercise I will already make it." All three sighed. "What is loose, darling, then?", Tarja asked, which was braked unnoticedly behind the three. She bent forward and mewled quietly. "What is with you?", asked Chiron gottenly, "what is wrong with you, are not you well?" "Anyway but. Go. I must into the house only briefly to handle of what." She gave him a smile. "Ah! Yes everything clear. Please hurry. I would not like to do without you." She nodded and kissed him briefly. Cyron understood about what it was and did not enquire. "She must fast into the house and a little private take care", Chiron whispered it into the ear. Afterwards Cyron nodded confirmatively and his saw daughter gottenly. He turns round and assembled the dual guns with his son-in-law. The unicorn seemed to cope with the burden well. Sandra went a couple of steps and then thought that she would already make it and that she had imagined it worse. Also she tried out her weapons and reaped real approval storms for the demonstration. "We almost would have everything so so that by", Cyron said and braked in front of the groups. "We still have three light machine cannons for AnChafren and five flame-throwers, in addition another three heavier machine cannons for a QuChafren here now." The weapons were allocated with that. The light machine cannons were submitted to three of the wolves. You put themselves, the handbarrow and guide ring around the hips clicked these in, put the weapons on the guide rail and were ready. The flame-throwers went to Hadron, Stella, one of the sabertooth tigers named Crown, a wolf named Syrgon and to Tarja which had relievedly obviously joined again. The heavier became machine cannons buckled on, respectively one on every body side and the third one crowned his back and was aimed exactly over his head for the four pawing sabertooth tiger named Pedro. The pack of hounds was equipped and ready for battle with that.

"People so. Pay attention now. Today, it has already got quite late. I would say that we go onto the village square and sit down there. We will eat and drink something. Everybody can go and carry out target practices after that onto the big meadow. But take care that you do not shoot yourselves over the heap mutually. We can do without no-one." Something still suddenly occurred to Chiron. He scurried between the weapon boxes through and suddenly called a little. The troop stopped. "Anyway people. I still have found something", he shouted. He had built up in front of a chest which they had completely overlooked. Everyone got closer and assembled around him. Cyron forced its way through and stood besides Chiron, as this opened the lock and raised the lid. Machine-guns appeared and so many were that each of one would be got by it. Himself you distributed them and the receivers hung them over the shoulders. In addition, everybody still got a magazine bag and three substitute magazines. Cyron finally said: "Wonderful, this simply has run incredibly. We really should be prepared for all eventualities with that." Chiron knocked for him appreciating on the shoulder and nodded. While the others went and satisfied its hunger onto the village square, Cyron, Chiron, packed the boxes up together with partners as well as Pathenon and Hadron and stacked them on a heap. Hadron fell further instructions into the hands.
