Shooting Star

[Kreousa]

An earthquake rippled across the terrain, sending gigantic cracks through the earth surface and a shock wave of devastation in its awakening, but through the chaotic scene a beautiful display of a meteor shower set the darken sky a light, but they faded just as quickly; expect for brightly, white burning object that was fast moving at lightening speeds, till it crashed into a shower of water and once it had slowly settled a strange object floated for only a mere second before finally beginning to sink into the crystal depth and only a quicken reflection of the front caught the frozen figure inside.


-Thoughts- " It felt like a falling dream without end and that screaming voice inside your head and that burning pain that started at your toes and traveled up and down body, but still your eyes didn't want to open and you felt stuck in this endless fall where the body felt dead expect the knowing feeling of something unnatural moving inside your body."

[Galadriel]

Galadriel had ventured onto unknown lands, the story of her life. The sky was dark, the stars twinkling down and she took a deep breath of the fresh, crisp air, gently allowing it to fill her lungs with appreciation.
Her eyes closed she looked up, the shine of the moon reflected in her visors, lighting up the soft pale skin on her face. Galadriel was in clothes that could only be described as an assassin's suit, from foot to neck, she was covered in a metallic looking, tight fitting material, the only skin exposed was that on her face, the material went up the back of her neck, caressing her skull. The suit not only covered up her robotic limbs, it also had many features which were yet to be discovered by those outside of herself.

Her white glazed eyes opened behind the visors, to those looking at her they would see nothing but a metal blindfold, but to her she could see everything outside, a small computer like picture on the inside, highlighting objects she looked at, potential dangers, species of plant, everything was analysed.
The sky began to fall, and Galadriel simply stood and watched the show, the trails of each falling meteor, each shooting star which where gone soon enough. What her eyes followed next was a white light falling rapidly to the earth.
Galadriel had to jump sideways to avoid a crack in the land at her feet, dropping and then rolling quickly until she stood on an untouched territory.
Her computerised mind analysed what the object was, foreign, beating heart, casket, unidentified origin. Galadriel watched as the casket hit the water, sending small waves rippling across the lake's surface, the sounds of the impact disturbing the peaceful night around. ''Human'' Spoke her soft robotic voice. Galadriel did not wait, she made a run for the lake and dived into it's depths, the cold water submerging her body, she took a deep breath before pushing herself below the surface completely, eyes open, looking through the visor, they located the casket as it floated down to the lake bed.
Galadriel reached out her arms as she drew closer, grabbing the object and gripping it, the material indenting at the strength of her hold. Her feet found the bed and she pushed off bringing the casket like object with her.
Bubbles erupted on the surface of the lake as though a saucepan of water was boiling, breaking the surface; Galadriel took another breath, pulling the object back to the land with ease.
She tugged the casket on to the embankment and quickly looked to the frozen being within,...Living...it was still alive, for now. Galadriel's visor shot back off of her eyes, the skin of her face sucking it back underneath, the white glazed eyes looked down to the casket, water dripping down them from her hair now they were exposed. The eyes seemed to come into flame, acidic rays shot from them and moved around the material of the casket, breaking into it.
Galadriel's visor crept back over to conceal them, her robotic hands ripped the casket open and she looked down to the being inside, waiting, accessing what else she could do to save it.

[Kreousa]

Black hair spilled out from beneath the blue/grayish, wide hood and the silver clasps underneath her chin kept the hood steadily upon her head, pale white sheets were tucked over the tanned body to keep the bare flesh concealed, but it left the abdominal section exposed and the deeply cross shaped wound moved, as if something was slithering inside and small twitches of her fingers as the lid of the capsule was torn off and fresh air nipped at her face and brushed hood back and forth.

-Thought- Where in galaxy am I ? So, Tired.......Is Sokar Okay?

The small the body jerked violently inside the bed of the capsule and a white foam started to froth from the corner of her mouth, as the body went into a shock like seizure.

-Sokar- Laid curled around the major organs of his host and as the fragile brain started to shut down so did the other major functions. Sokar reared his serpentine like head and drove deeper into the body till it latched itself around the spinal cord and he snaked upwards and parasitic being took control of Kreousa mind and body only for a short moment to put the body out shock.

Kreousa sat up in a spill of blankets and a single, brief glimpse of glowing eyes shimmered out from underneath the hood and a hand latched out onto the woman's clothing before collapsing again once the body was stable and breathing fell back into normal rhythm.

[Galadriel]

Galadriel looked the body over...Female...Her eyes drifted over the blankets concealing her...Infestation,Host...She paused as she looked at her wriggling stomach before the woman started jerking and frothing at the mouth, she was just about ready to cut this thing out of her but then it seemed to disappear.
Black hair and glowing eyes settled on Galadriel a moment, and she tilted her head in curiosity, did the one infesting her just save her some how? Of course the majority of parasites Galadriel had learnt about only had their own survival on their head so it must have helped it's host, after all if she died, so did it, for it would not be able to infest such a body as Galadriel's.
The woman sat bolt upright, scrunching her hand into the metallic fibre on Galadriel's body, visor covered eyes glanced to the hand as though a foreign object where she then confirmed this being was a human.

The woman collapsed back into the capsule and Galadriel stood, her eyes scanned around to spot a nearby cave like structure. Bending she picked up the capsule with immense ease, walking the distance to the cave... Still Alive, Oxygen... Galadriel walked through the entrance of the cave, the gentle drip, drip, drips of water sneaking through the cracks was the chorus of the night.
Galadirel gently placed the woman down, leaving her in the capsule, she had blankets there, warmth. She reached around her form finding she was not attached to any wires inside the capsule.
Standing she watched the women's chest rise and fall in a normal rhythm now but just to be cautious, she reached around and seemed to grab an invisible pack from her back. Removing it, she pulled out an oxygen mask which she gently placed on the woman's face.
Galadirel remained as calm as ever, simply waiting for this women to rest and recuperate. She got about making a fire, collecting logs and building a fire pit in the middle of the cave to warm the girl all the more.
Her visor again retracting under her skull, her laser eyes igniting the flame, the soft crackles of the fire adding to the dripping chorus of the night.

The visor climbed back over her eyes with a whoosh and the clank of metal before she sat down, rifling through her pack once more, Galadriel began to cook some food, army rations weren't the best, but they were all she had at this precise moment in time, perhaps the woman would be hungry when she awoke.

[Kreousa]

-Thought- Am I dreaming? Who was that strange figure? Are we moving? And what is this thing upon my face...... What is going on? Why did it feel as if her body was paralyzed from head to toe and her head felt like it weighed a ton.

Eyes fluttered open and close throughout the short time and senses could feel movement of someone else around her, but she couldn't keep her eyes open long enough to see who or what. Eyes shot open, as mask was placed over her face and she sucked in a deep breath and did this repeatedly till she grasped edge of the capsule and slowly lifted herself upright.

Kreousa slid mask free from her face and blinked twice, as her vision started to clear and those black eyes darted around what looked like a cave, but in her dazed mind she wasn't quite sure until she glanced towards crackling fire and the strange figure beside it "Hello?" Her voice sounded cracked, as if she hadn't spoken in such a long time.

[Galadriel]

Galadriel continued to cook the food, the aroma of it filling the small cave, a homely smell to her, in some ways she missed her army comrades, their loyalty to her, their friendship, until they turned on her that was. This aroma filled her nose with their memories, the more happier memories, not the bloody endings that came to them at her own hands.
She could hear the girl stir behind her, stoking the fire she kept her gaze forward, the reflections of the fire seen in the silver visor against her face.
The woman spoke, or rather asked, her something. Galadriel took a deep breath before responding, her robotic voice seemed only to scare people away in the past, she hoped this girl might be different but if not then Galadriel would just simply be on her way to leave the woman in peace now that she seemed to be healthy again. Eyes remaining forward, back to the woman, ''Hello. My name is Galadriel, I watched you fall from the sky and fetched you from the lake bed.'' Her voice was it's usual soft robotic tone, calming, non threatening. ''Are you well? I have some food if you are hungry.''

[Kreousa]

-Sokar- This woman had spiked the symbiotic beings curiosity and as he gazed through his host and sharply narrowed in on the woman he whispered tenderly inside Kreousa's mind "Get up now".

Hands clasped down on either side of hand and fingers rubbed deeply upon her temples and the intriguing tone of voice had her head cocked on one side, as she pulled the sheet around herself and tied it off at the side and she wiggled tones before rolling up onto her feet "A pleasure Galadriel, my name is Kreousa and thank you" she stepped from the capsule and took seat across from Galadriel "I didn't hurt anyone? Are you hurt?".

[Galadriel]

Galadriel had finished her cooking now, the woman managed to get herself up from the capsule and Galadriel's eyes followed her as she came to sit. ''No need to thank me Kreousa.'' She offered the woman a small, warm smile and held the food out to her, it was in it's packet and beside it Galadriel held a spoon, ''It is not much but it is packed with everything you need.'' These little pouches of army rations were full of goodness and would give the woman the energy and nutrients to help her regain fully from whatever she had been through.
A small laugh left Galadriel, the woman was concerned but there was no need, not much could truly hurt Galadriel, ''No I am not hurt and there were no casualties, besides maybe some wildlife.'' The woman's entrance into this world caused a lot of damage to the lands but as she said, there were no casualties at least.

Turning back to see the oxygen mask on the floor, Galadriel moved her hand and without touching the object it levitated from the ground and floated over to her waiting hand.
Galadriel placed it back within her pack and pulled it back onto her shoulders. A lick of her lips and she looked back up to the woman, ''I do not have any clothes or I would offer you some.'' Galadriel figured that below the sheets the girl was nude, the only clothes that Galadriel possessed were already on her, a part of her, they could not be removed, only retracted back under her skin.
She moved back slightly away from the fire and began to eat her own meal, she hadn't eaten in a while and had not realised her hunger until this moment, devouring the pouch in no time at all.

[Kreousa]

Head tilted onto one side and she gazed down at the food that was offered "Thank You" she held it between her hands and scooped a spoonful up and devoured the food that tasted brilliant after nor eating for sometime, but she glanced at her stomach and back up at Galadriel "Please forgive me" she nipped the tip of her finger till a swell crimson liquid pooled out from the shallow wound and she winced at the cross shaped wound, as it peeled outward to reveal the rearing head of serpentine like creature with eerie glowing, yellow eyes and in split second parasite latch onto the bleeding finger and sucked the blood and flesh from bone; shr knew at this time she couldn't feed Sokar like she normally does so Kreousa offered her own flesh and blood to the creature.

-Sokar- Took the flesh and blood willingly, but eerie eyes were stilled on Galadriel but once he had his fill he slithered back into his host body.

Licking her lips in hope she didn't scare the woman, but Sokar and his curiosity had spiked her own as well "You aren't entirely human are you? I don't mean to be rude".

[Galadriel]

Galadriel finished her meal and placed it to one side, her eyes behind the visor were kept on the woman, accessing her, her body weight, height, strength, it was more out of habit rather than the fact this woman could be seen as a threat.
Head tilted to the side as she watched her pierce her own finger, the parasite spurted out from the strange shape on the woman's stomach and Galadriel watched it's yellow eyes, it's mouth as it ate the flesh of it's host, she was of a curious nature and this 'thing' had caught it.
It slinked back into her after leaving her finger tip without any flesh left. Strange, why would she help it unless she wants to be it's host?
Another small robotic laugh left Galadriel and her human mouth smiled at the woman, exposing perfectly former teeth, ''What gave it away, my voice, or my robotic body? No I am not fully human, I am part cyborg.'' Galadriel was a truthful woman and it was obvious she was different from other humans, it was something that she could not hide from the world, and something she had excepted a long time ago. Whether the girl knew what a cyborg was, was another matter.

She prodded the fire once more, this time the girl might be able to see that she was doing it with her own arm, the fire licked the metal but did not melt it, it did not do anything to her in fact. ''You are fully human.'' It was not a question, Galadriel already knew she was, her computer began to access and highlight the area on Kreousa's stomach, ''But you are infested, by choice, necessity or force?'' She was intrigued as to how and why this woman had become infested.

[Kreousa]

-Sokar- That single word repeated -Cyborg- "Haven't seen one of those in centuries, How intriguing" he curled back up into the major organs, as his belly was full and sleep took parasite.

"Were you made cyborg from here or somewhere else?" Shifting her legs so they were pulled up tightly against her chest and she repositioned the sheet so she was fully covered "Are you the only one? Sorry I really don't mean to be rude".

"I come from a planet just like this one, but we are breed to basically be a home, I don't know what or where they come from, but we are trained in being there caretaker sometimes it's willing other times forced. Mine was in between I was scared at first but my father told me it was important that do this."

[Galadriel]

Galadriel glanced to the woman, she was asking a lot of questions, something that she was not used to. She decided to again be truthful but she would also hide what needed to be hidden, what needed to remain only in her own mind. ''I was born a human, created into this, into a cyborg here on earth, yes.'' She shook her head at her apology, she had nothing to apologise for, humans were naturally curious beings. ''No, I am not the only one but not many of use are...free.'' The army found many others like her with special abilities, they tested and experimented on them just as they did her, as far as she knew, she was the only one to break free, the only one who seemed to have their own mind, the determination to think for herself.

Galadriel looked out of the cave into the nights sky, wondering and picturing this other world the woman had come from. She nodded at her words, accepting them, ''And are you happy now, no longer afraid? You seem to care for the...parasite, or so it seems.'' She looked at her thoughtfully a moment, ''Why did you leave your home planet, why come here?''

[Kreousa]

"Did you know what was happening? Were you scared?" The questions were rolling quickly inside her head and spilling just, as quickly from her mouth. "I get scared sometimes but Sokar won't hurt me and I won't hurt him" lips parted into a soft smile "My planet was attacked and we were sent way so Sokar could live and be protected" she looked off to the side and watched the flames dance across the walls of the cave "There is a lot of life in the big galaxy and sometimes invading and killing is away of survival".

[Galadriel]

Galadriel licked her lips before answering anything further, she sighed to herself, this was not something that she enjoyed to talk about, ''Yes, I knew what was happening but no I was not scared. I knew what needed to be done and so I let them do it.'' Galadriel had no memory of her life before the army, she knew nothing about her family, her human life, it was ripped from her memory a long time ago.
She leant back on the cold ground of the cave, her head tilted up as her eyes scanned the skies. ''If you will not hurt one another, then why do you get scared?'' It was a simple question, Galadriel never understood fear, she rarely felt afraid but she knew that to be afraid could either make you stronger or break you, in the battles she had seen, in the life she had had, fear was not an option.
''What is so special about this Sokar that you were chosen to be saved while your planet burns?'' It came out in a blunter tone than Galadriel had meant, being of the mind that she was, she was not one to leave people to die who she cared about.

Galadriel sighed to herself, thinking about how the hell she had got here, where did everything go so wrong? Of course she knew the answer to that, but it all seemed so unreal.
''Yes, that is true. It is the survival of the fittest, a cruel existence really.'' She turned her face back to the woman, ''What are you going to do now Kreousa?'' Galadriel would go her own way, but she was curious as to what this woman planned to do next.
