Aurora Saga 2 Immortality for Life by Adrian Fulcher Page B

Frindul bumped into Zoren. Upon slipping, he pulled the habit downwards, uncovering Zoren’s head.
    A Frindul at the bar raised his hand. ‘That’s the Agonian boy! The boy that was trapped on the Polnozoo.’
    ‘That’s Zoren!’ Gulco called out from across the room. He stood up, but he was pushed back into his seat by a Frindul standing close to him.
    Zoren glanced around to see that every gun in the room was now pointed at him and Kalrea. The people at the bar backed slowly away from them, while others quietly left the bar. The women in the room also quickly disappeared through a nearby door. The entrance door to the bar opened slightly, and then the Drulfian who was outside put its head in to check what was happening. It decided not to come in and closed the door.
    The captain now stood up. ‘Well, well, an Agonian. Now, how did you manage to get here?’
    Zoren felt frightened and wanted to run and hide. He glanced to Kalrea, who seemed unmoved. She seemed to sense he was scared because she turned to him and said reassuringly, ‘Don’t worry, they cannot harm you,’ and then raising her voice, whilst glancing around the room, added, ‘and even if they could, you’re too valuable. That’s right, isn’t it?’
    ‘I suggest you move to one side lady and let my men take him. He can sit with the others,’ the captain said calmly.
    ‘My name’s Kalrea, and how do you know I’m a lady? I’m not moving and neither is he. I warn you, I don’t want to kill any of you, but I will defend myself.’
    The captain laughed. ‘If I clicked my fingers, you’d be dead in an instant,’ he replied. ‘You have no weapons and I can assure you these men are exceptional shots.’
    ‘All I want is those three Agonians you have there and the location of where the others are being held. I know they’re no longer on your ship. Tell me and we’ll leave. No one will get hurt.’
    ‘I’ve had enough of this crap,’ the captain said to Kalrea, and then addressing his men added, ‘If anyone wants her, take her, if not, please, will someone just shoot her.’
    Kalrea glanced over to the barwoman and said, ‘I wouldn’t stay there if I was you.’
    The Gullin barwoman quickly left the bar area and disappeared into an adjoining room.
    While Kalrea’s head was turned, a Frindul tried to grab her arm. He glowed white and in an instant disappeared. Kalrea brushed her arm where he had touched her in the same way that she would have cleaning off a dead insect from her clothing.
    Immediately the sound of gunfire filled the air.

Chapter Ten
     
    Zoren cowered at the base of the bar behind Kalrea as shot after shot struck her. She was surrounded by a halo of white light, which was protecting her from the plasma fire and the telementor on his wrist was also glowing white. The noise of the gunfire echoed loudly around the room.
    Bloody hell! I’ve got to get out of here, Zoren thought, as pieces of the bar rained down on him.
    He flinched when a stray plasma round struck his leg, but his body was also instantly surrounded by white light, preventing him from any harm. His adrenaline was pumping as the gunfire lessened, then it stopped abruptly.
    Most of the Frinduls had emptied a full magazine of plasma shells and were looking astounded that Kalrea was still standing there.
    ‘Have you all finished,’ Kalrea said in an angry voice. ‘I did warn you. Now it’s my turn!’
    Zoren looked up to see Kalrea point at one of the Frinduls. A bolt of white light left her finger and struck him. He collapsed to the ground.
    Panic filled the room as Kalrea pointed to more Frinduls. One by one she killed them as they rushed towards the doors.
    The captain was now being protected by some of his men, who had surrounded him, but they seemed unsure what to do next. Kalrea walked casually towards them. One of the Frinduls panicked and fired his railgun at her again. She approached him and when he was about to turn and flee, touched him on the
