196 CXCVI. The Accusations (1/2)
”Friend? Eheh... you just don't understand, do you?” said the woman, looking down.
”He was not my 'friend'. To have what you call 'emotional bonds' to another being of your own species is just a weakness” she continued, as her feet peeled off the ground, beginning to levitate.
Dag forcefully pulled his arm towards him, trying to bring the woman back to the ground, but her strength was unchallenged.
The liquid that enveloped her arm, when she got up several meters above the ground, returned to Dag and was re-absorbed by his skin, loosen its grip.
Her broken arm incredibly turned on itself and returned to the original position, regenerating the bones and injured muscles.
The Xis woman was there, stationary in mid-air, her arms outstretched, and a very thin purple aura surrounding her body.
Dag without saying anything, picked up his weapons from the ground.
”What our scientists have defined as 'spirit of survival and human self-preservation' is very strong within you, I can feel it. You are truly remarkable specimens, I will take this into account” exclaimed the woman, whose voice became even deeper.
Meanwhile, Gridd also regained consciousness and rose from the ground slowly, stunned.
”Although you profess beings with higher intellect, you will never be able to understand the feelings that a human can feel, and your consciousness will always be impoverished, compared to our own. Since I've been here, on this planet, I've pondered for a long time what your true nature and your true purpose might be, but having grown up in a lie, I have never come to a definitive solution to my questions” Dag said, looking at Magni's hammer holding in his hand.
”The planet you're on was created by us. We created it similar to your first planet, the Earth. Skjold and the others perfectly emulate its climatic and geological conditions. We have done it for you, ungrateful inferior beings! Because of your fallacious anatomy, you are not able to resist without elementary chemical elements, such as oxygen. Your only task, from birth, is to obey your saviors, us Xis” the woman replied, looking at Dag and his companions with an air of superiority.
”I would have so many more things to ask, but what's the point? The questions will not change the reality of the facts, they will only serve to make my life even more complicated” Dag continued, while a considerable amount of dark liquid leaked out of his back and, splitting into two bundles, similar to two large arms, stood on the ground, beginning to lift Dag's body upwards.
Reidar, Karl, and Gridd watched the scene, gasping, looking at Dag, lifted from the liquid, reaching the height of the enemy, approaching the woman.
Agnes, hiding safely with horses, could not believe her eyes.
The woman stopped talking when Dag positioned in front of her, more than 4 meters high.
His only purple eye was much brighter than usual and the only part of his body that had not absorbed the liquid, which branched up to his neck, was his face.
”Qar 'Iv vISov!” exclaimed Dag, looking impassively at the woman, who, in those words, blur her eyes.
”What?! How do you know our ancient language?!” she asked, who for the first time seemed to be seriously concerned.
