《Danimal》Chapter 28: Trust
Advertisement
Dahn releases the door handle and draws two conclusions; the first is that the door and the room is made of a material that serves to nullify the Essence. The other is that there is an artifact capable of doing that.
What Dahn does not know is there is a third possibility, that some race or person is capable of this.
Dahn thinks for a while, trying to figure out how to avoid being affected by this anomaly, releases his Essence, and concentrates it in his right hand, and hits the door causing it to break and go inside the room.
Dahn: "Eva?"
Eva: "I am here."
Dhan: "What do you know about objects or materials capable of nullifying the essence."
Eva: "I don't have any data about it" "But according to my data, there can be some race or people able to accomplish this."
The door enters with a single shot at the end of the room, and at that moment, it feels like a vast emptiness is present.
Morl: "Impressive strength of our guest, don't you think?" - With his tongue out while licking Shanna in the cheek.
Dahn can finally see what is behind the door; he can observe and hear Morl that due to his physical characteristics comes from the Khulzan race. The last time Dahn faced one, he had several problems due to the poison they possessed.
Seeing that the tongue of Morl is creeping on Shanna, Dahn loses control.
The Essence released by Dahn is so strong that several of the crew begin to lose consciousness; others feel weak.
When Morl feels Dahn's murderous aura, he also releases his Essence. He increases the area of his poison, whose only function is to nullify the Essence as long as the level of the Essence of his enemy is lower.

Dahn: "The last time I fought a Khulzan was a bit frustrating" "I will not make that mistake again."
Morl: "Good, then you know we are not the same" - His smile is more evil and sadistic.
If this fight had happened a few years ago, the result would have been different; Dahn remembers everything he has learned and is entirely sure of his victory.
Dhan sends a nanorobot to Shanna to make sure she is still alive, because of Morl power Dahn could not measure Shanna's Essence.
Eva: "Dahn" "I'm sorry, Shanna has been dead for two days."
While hearing those words, the environment gets wrapped in darkness, the walls around Dahn begin to break, Dahn who has his head looking at the floor looks up with tears in his eyes and looks directly at Morl.
The crew in the ship falls to the ground, unconscious and some dead.
Dahn: "Who is responsible for her death" "I do not know why I ask that to you" "Maybe I am clinging to the hope that something good will come out of your mouth" "Who captured her?"
Morl: "You thin..."
Dahn, in the blink of an eye, positions himself behind Morl and covers his mouth with his left hand.
Dahn: "All I need from you is the name of the one who captured her" "But I also know your race is not to be trusted." "So, I am done wasting my time."
Dahn, with his right-hand, goes through Morl's back, breaking his spine, lungs, and in turn, takes out Morl's heart.
He approaches Shanna and releases her, with tears on his face carries her on his arms and teleports to the clinic.
Dahn: "Eva, find out everything you can about what happened to her and this ship" - The anger and sadness in his voice is heartbreaking.

Karin manages to see Dahn leaving the clinic, and without knowing what just happened, she approaches him. By doing so, her body stops automatically and falls to the floor, unconscious.
Dahn completely ignores Karin's body; right now, he only feels pain and anger and decides to take a flight away from the capital without direction or destination.
Several hours go by, Karin regains consciousness, even though she is dizzy she stands up and asks Eva if she knows what happened since she doesn't remember very well what happened, Eva despite being present doesn't answer. - She is not allowed to speak to her.
Karin begins to regain memory of what happened, looks up at the sky and realizes the ship is still there, smiles, looks around, and manages to get to the command post, goes in and tries to establish communication with the ship.
Karin sits down in a chair in front of a computer and begins to access the ship's system; her typing speed is incredible; it is obvious Karin has good knowledge about hacking. In a few minutes, she already has access to the entire ship, which Eva uses to get information as well.
While Karin is looking for information, she realizes that Eva doesn't have a high level of hacking, which she uses to her advantage.
Karin allows Eva to do what she wants but at the same time, keeps Eva at a distance, so she doesn't know what she is looking for.
Karin: 'Shit' 'I didn't think the guy was so strong' 'It doesn't matter, the plan is the same' 'If I'm not mistaken here is my next instruction' - Get a folder named "Love."
Karin: 'Let's see' 'WHAT' - Her face tights up a little bit.
Karin opens the folder and reads to herself - 'Subject can be easily manipulated with love' 'Make him trust you, and you will not have any problem' 'Do everything you can to gain his trust' 'IMPORTANT: if the subject doesn't trust you, RUN' 'Essence of the subject has no limits so far.'
Karin reads everything in detail and then creates a virus, so it erases the mission files and any trace of her. She turns to help Eva in finding information about who they are and what they were doing here - Karin knows the only purpose of them going there was to give her more information about her mission.
Karin manages to get what she was looking for without any problem. She tells Eva that she has been able to collect information that Dahn may consider vital for him.
Before finishing hacking, Karin leaves an encrypted message for the Red Star Alliance - 'lok kdeh ksdje jkksd'
Eva: "Dahn" "I think Karin is not trustworthy."

"Humanity is on the cusp of their Great Expansion. It will be the first time in history that they’ve reached beyond their own solar system in an attempt to colonize the galaxy. Or, at least, so they thought. Peeling back the veil of time, The Empire of Sol has uncovered vestiges of a secret genetic program on the far flung planet of Hod. The advent of the Empire’s ancient enemy could upset the careful balance of power throughout in the Sol System. When Hod is invaded by the Empire, Andros Aeton is pressed into their service and his people are held hostage. Unbeknownst to him, factions within the Empire vie to use him to their own ends. He must claim his heritage if he has any hope of escaping the clutches of the forces that seek to use him." This is a work in progress. Major editing will be done after the book is complete, so there will be egregious typos and parts that make no sense whatsoever. Please feel free to point any and all of these things out. Chapters WILL get edited, and that editing might break earlier chapters. I will attempt to keep readers apprised of all changes. As always, feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Snereloa Rebirth
In the darkest shining void, an ethereal being holding a scepter floats toward a nebula made up of the souls of the dead from all realms awaiting to be reutilized into the cycle. They aren't a deity of death, but one tracking an anomaly that can't be processed and completely wiped clean as they enjoy calling it. A fresh start, without shackles or remnants of what once was. Life is a price paid by all living beings, but like any transaction, we give it something in exchange for our memories, our feelings, our emotions, our past, and future, our ambitions and our dreams. Those all fuel the fire of creation, but so do grief, and pain. Every moment of suffering is the price, every living moment is paid at our death. Sometimes some have so much piled up that their soul and heart end up damaged. Be it loss of trust or being unable to truly live their life, those shackles are like an anchor that keeps the soul stable when on the verge of breaking apart, keeping it together at an immense price. Those unlucky souls are forced to be put into another life indebted, in the unlikely possibility of their defect healing themself in that new life. Their memories aren't intact after all—everything has a price—and that pain and fear are what they carry, while their partial amnesia is their shackle. This is the story of one such soul, of a girl sent into a world of legend and novel of fantasy, dragons and magic. A world away from what she knew, in which she will hopefully heal, be happy, and survive its side of darkness. Ps: my english is self learnt that mean typo and some other issue will happen but it shouldnt affect the sense of the story if u have any correction u would want me to do or some thing arent clear please tell me
