Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse
223 Re-living Anothers Past
From my vantage point, inside Calishora's head, I could see the memories she had replayed in her mind. I saw the first time she used her abilities to destroy a planet. The planet was inhabited by a peaceful race of people who had no idea what was coming for them. Calishora appeared in their sky without warning and began to fold space around the planet. The planet's inhabitants were pulled apart and sucked into the void that Calishora had created. I can hear their screams even from here.
I saw the next memory she was replaying, and it was of a star going supernova. Calishora was there, using her ability to control how close or far things are in a confined space, to keep the star from destroying the planets in its system. She breathed in, sucking the star's energy into her lungs, and then breathed out, redirecting the star's energy away from the planets. The star's light was extinguished, and the planets were saved.
I saw Calishora's most recent memory now, and it's of her using her abilities to destroy a fleet of ships. The ships were armed with weapons that could have caused a lot of damage to her. Calishora didn't want to take any chances, so she used her ability to make things bigger or smaller to make the ships bigger. Then she used her ability to control how close or far things were to bring the ships closer to her. Once they were close enough, she breathed in and out, sucking the ships into the void she had created.
Each one of the memories was different, and I was having a hard time saying that it was all evil. There were times that she actually saved the planet, not destroyed it, but as the memories went farther, I could see that they still enslaved the entire race. It was not short of confusing.
The next memory was of a great battle. Calishora was fighting against another space dragon. I could feel the anger and hatred that she had for this other dragon. The battle was fierce, and neither of them was backing down. They were both using their abilities to try and gain the upper hand, but it was a stalemate.
Eventually, Calishora got the upper hand, and she used her ability to control how close or far things were to bring the other dragon close to her. Then she used her breath to suck the other dragon into the void she had created. I could feel the triumph that she felt as she watched her enemy be destroyed.
The final memory that I saw was of a planet that Calishora had just destroyed. She was standing in the middle of all the destruction, surveying her handiwork with a satisfied look on her face.
As I looked back at all the memories, I could see the common thread between them all. Calishora enjoyed destruction and chaos. She loved being the one in control and having the power to destroy entire civilizations. That was her purpose, and she was good at it, but could I really blame her? She was a space dragon, after all, and this was the way that she had been raised.
If I had my way, I would change Calishora and her three sisters. Hell, if I could, I would try to even change Tiamat. After hearing everything and looking at her story from different angles, I was starting to dislike her less. Tiamat was a hot head, but it was clear that she had wanted to change at one point, but Alpha fucked that all up when he betrayed her. This made sense why Alpha could get under her skin so much.
Looking back at Calishora's memories, I could see the pain that she had been through. She had been used and abused by those in power, and she was just trying to survive. I didn't agree with the way she was going about it, but I could understand it.
In the end, I saw Calishora for what she really was: a victim of circumstance who had been turned into a weapon. She wasn't evil, per se, but she wasn't good either. She was somewhere in the middle, and I could see the potential for her to change if given a chance.
My eyes opened, and Calishora looked away from me right away. I could see the pain on her face because she would have had to see that all just as I did. I felt bad for her, but I also knew that this was the only way. This might have been for me to learn, but I wanted to teach her that she didn't have to be this way. That there was another way.
"You were forced into this life," I said as I walked up to Calishora, who still wouldn't look at me. "You didn't have a choice. But I'm giving you one now. You can continue to do what you're doing, or you can choose to change. It's up to you."
"I don't want to be like that or ever have to do anything like that again," Calishora said, finally looking at me. "but I don't know how to change."
"I'll help you," I said. "But it's not going to be easy. You're going to have to want to change first and foremost."
Calishora was quiet for a moment before she nodded her head. "I want to change," she said softly.
"Okay," I said with a smile. "You making a choice to be different is the start. I don't want to kill your mother or sisters, and I plan on finding a way to change them too, but we'll start with you. Now, I have an idea of how some of your abilities work, so I want you to guide me as I try to use them."
Calishora nodded her head and stepped closer to me. I could feel the determination emanating from her. She was ready to start her new life, and I was ready to help her. The two of us were closer than before, and I was starting to feel a pull from her as I stared into her eyes. Our faces slowly moved together until our lips met in a soft kiss.
