《End of the World》Chapter 20
Advertisement
Have you ever felt one womb only to feel another one in one second. That was a weird time for me. It took them 20 days to get all of us out of Beths womb and when they did, they saw my condition and tried to get me to sit on the next medical bed. I won and managed to leave the bay with them yelling at me. As I passed a guard, I asked him where the prisoner was and they told me the brig.
When I went down there, they guided me to the Lady and I said "Welcome to my ship. Hope you have a good time in there." and walked off. I went straight to my room and saw everyone but Beth as she was still recovering from that ordeal. Tannyll was the first to ask "Are you ok dear?" and I shrugged my shoulders.
When I sat down on the bed, Tannyll scooted ever and leaned me against her. Everyone else gave her a look of jelousy and moved to help me get comfy. They didn't have to, but they wanted to help me one way. Soon I was laying down in a bed that was bigger than when I left a few months ago. After a few moments of having everyone in the room laying next to me, I fell asleep.
Tannyll
I looked at the others and whispered "Lets go help out around the ship. That is the least we can do after that ordeal he went through." The others nodded and decided on the what they would do. I was given the task of making sure that there was enough supplies on the ship to handle this flood of people and to find room. What they didn't know was that I could do it in that very room. They soon left and I was alone with Jayden and whispered in his ear "I love you and will always love you no matter what. If you ever need my help just ask and I will be there like you will be for us."

I got up and pulled up the task I was given and made sure that there was enough supplies on board before laying down with Jayden and tucking both of us up. "Our child will be proud of you. I can feel that his soul will stay with you forever, even if his body will perish." I whispered to him before I fell asleep.
Back to Jayden
When I woke up, Tannyll was asleep infront of me and nestled further into my body. I wrapped my arms around her and just laid there for a few hours before she woke up. During that time, I was talking to Sparky and he told me everything that happened while I was asleep. I felt proud that they helped out for that will make my job a lot easier. Tannyll wasn't moving but I knew she was awake and I whispered to her "I will always be by your side. If anyone wants to seperate us, then they will face my rage."
She turned around and asked "Does that go for the others too?"
"Yes but I will always be with you for you have taught me many things the others didn't." I said. She liked that response and hugged me there and I hugged her back. We were like that until 5 minutes before the others came back. When they arrived, they saw that I was awake and just stood there. I got up and offered the bed to them because they had dark circles under their eyes. They moved to the bed and layed down automatically. When I tucked them in, they fell asleep so me and Tannyll went to the bridge.
When I arrived, there was silence on the bridge. "Is there an emergency or are you just surprised?" I asked.

"We received a report that you had several broken bones, numerous cuts, and many infections. Yet you look the same before you went down there." The nav officer said.
"That is true, but I am different from many species so I have different strengths and weaknesses." I replied. Tannyll liked that I knew I had weaknesses and hugged my arm. I guided both of us to the captains chair and the first officers chair.
"I have an announcement to make everyone." I told the whole ship. "On the world down there, there was no lifeforms other than the people that were brought with me. Then I realized that there was no one to take command if I am unable to, so I made a desicion and chose Tannyll to be first officer of this ship. That is all for now."
Everyone on the bridge was surprised at that. Tannyll was looking at me like I was crazy so I told everyone on the bridge "She is one of the ones I love and trust more with the lives on this ship. If I couldn't trust her, then I shouldn't be able to trust you guys. Yet I trust everyone here, she is the best choice for this role. Hell, she should be the captain of this ship, we will need her knowledge to keep this boat floating."
Everyone on the bridge was stunned at my mini speech, after a minute, they all clapped and agreed with my choice. Soon they went backto their previous work and I looked over at Tannyll and asked "My dear, what is the next thing you suggest we do?"
"I suggest we go find a station to park at and get this whole mess figured out. If there are no stations we can trust, then a moon or planet that only has wildlife." She replied. Those were good options but I decided on one.
"Head to these coordinates and find the station there. I know we can trust that one." I told the crew.

Live by the Sword
--Follow a bandit prone to making poor choices in life. He lives in a somewhat medieval age where steel is king, blood is shed fairly lightly, and weakness gets you punished fast. But that's okay. As long as he has his sword, he'll be fine. Right? --This story is tragic and contains some depictions of violence and nudity. The attitudes of the characters don't represent my views and some of them are highly questionable. Due to these reasons, I've flagged the story as adult content. --I've been working on Live by the Sword since as far back as 2012 and it is my first actual effort at completing a book. Maybe I'll stick with it and there will be paperbacks of it some day. Who knows. Either way, I hope the words I tell give you amusement and perhaps some cause to think. Cheers.
