CHAPTER 440

SCIMITAR

SIXTY HOURS FROM EARTH

"I don't suppose you were going to tell us at some point that you know Prince Androcles and his dragon personally… or that you were a Tier Six Mindvoicer were you Sadi?" Palta spoke as they sat in their shared quarters watching Sadi unpack a few of her clothes. "Did it ever cross your mind to share this with your friends?"

Teeria simply sat in one of the two chairs in the large quarters and watched Sadi. She had known her longer than anyone, for they had shared a blistering night of passion so many years ago and while they both agreed that it was a glorious experience, they also agreed it should not happen anymore. They had remained as close as friends could be over the years, always staying in touch and sharing things with each other that they shared with no one. Now Teeria knew what the red pendant Sadi wore signified. It was something she never took off, even in their sweaty hours together Sadi had never removed it.
