3.1

Kamily did not expect her relationship with Palien to change so much. He began to fly often to her palace in a cheerful mood, communicating affectionately. All his former arrogance had disappeared somewhere.

"Do you want to visit my cruiser and meet the crew?" The Commander asked in a playful tone.

"Your officers? Will they flirt with me?"

"So what? This is their nature!" The Commander joked.

"Do you want to brag about me?" Kamily laughed.

She was very curious and agreed to take a tour of the battle cruiser. 

After the shuttle flight, they entered a spacious hall, where ten syrinxes in blue uniforms sat on chairs near the walls flickering with lights. At the sight of Palien they all jumped up and lined up. He looked at them with a stern look.

"We have a visit from the Queen of Zaria."

The entire team stared at Kamily with respect and curiosity.

"This is the ship's control center," Palien explained to her. And this is our valiant team."

"Everyone is in place!" Was a command.

The syrinxes obediently scattered to their chairs.

In the next room, Palien introduced Kamily to five officers. They did not line up in a row, but simply stood up from their seats to meet those who entered.

Each handsome man, dressed in a white tight suit, introduced himself and shook hands with Queen Zaria with a mysterious smile. 

They were convinced that the spell had no effect on her and surrounded her with compliments:

"What a beautiful Queen!"

"I'm fascinated!"

"I haven't seen such grace for a long time!"

"Are Zaria's flowers also beautiful?"

"What divine eyes!"

Kamily was surprised by their solemn, elegant appearance, ease and freedom in communication.

Palien calmly reacted to the increased attention to Kamily and did not show any irritation.

"How did you become a syrinx from a simple woman?" Asked one of the officers.

"She is not simple at all! This is our Arumy, the runaway princess," Palien answered for her. "She lived on Xantari for a long time. Locals found her in the forest."

"Ah, Arumy!" Exclaimed another handsome blond named Amirel. "I knew her closely."

His dark blue eyes turned to Kamily and flashed with fire.

"You had white hair and wings, but your eyes were still the same - blue. I missed you."

"I do not remember you! I lived on Zaria for a long time, among people," Kamily decided to insert her word, noticing that Amirel continued to look at her impressed.

Palien noticed his interest and besieged him:

"The Queen is with me now, Amirel."

"How did you manage to take such beauty away from Erin?" Asked the cold-eyed officer named Lantas.

Palien just smiled slyly in response.

"Kamily, do you have princesses?" Lantas turned to the Queen.

"Only one and she is already occupied, the other two still live among people."

"Lantas, don't aim at them. This colony is in severe decline, there are very few women, the locals need them more," Palien looked reproachfully at the officer, and, deciding to end this conversation, headed towards the exit, dragging the Queen with him.

"Here, not far from my bedroom," Palien cast a voluptuous glance at Kamily.

"Do you want to show me your concubines?" She grinned.

He laughed and blurted out:

"Nah… Who can compare to you, my Queen?"

He pulled her towards him with tenderness and sensitive kisses.

Lariel hurried along the enfilade, bathed in the morning sun, and heard Kamily calling him.

"Lariel!" She approached, looking into his eyes. "We need to talk!

"About what?"

"About us. You stopped communicating with me."

"I..." Lariel froze in confusion. "I was busy!"

"With Selestra?"

"You yourself pushed me to sleep with her."

"Yes… Yes. Certainly. She looks happy now, having received affection from you."

"And you are now with Palien... Why?"

"This was not my desire. He was blackmailing me!"

"Stupid sacrifice on your part!" Lariel blurted out. "He wanted Selestra and there was no need to oppose their marriage. I told you that Rohen could protect you from the Xantarians if you just asked. You would gain unimaginable power under his wing."

"Again you are on your own! You are wooing your lover!"

"We are not lovers, how many times must I repeat this?"

"You sleep together! I saw!"

"No! He protects me from the officers. One of them kidnapped me!"

"Why didn't you tell me about this? What did he do to you?"

"Before I could be raped, Rohen saved me!"

Kamily paused, trying to comprehend what she had heard.

"Call this strange relationship whatever you want, but I need to tell you something."

Lariel obediently trudged after her. Kamily closed the door and sat down on the bed.

"Have a seat," she pointed to a chair. "I went through something with Palien, so I have an interest in him. During intimacy, we found ourselves in a certain space playing with multi-colored lights and we had an exchange of energies. Everything was so magical and indescribable..."

"I've never heard of this!" Lariel blurted out incredulously.

"Now I feel a little differently: I see through space over long distances, but everything lasts moments."

"I always had this... Clairvoyance! It's quite usual ability for vampire."

"Imagine, if you and I go out into this fiery stream, something will happen?"

"Probably..." Lariel muttered in confusion. "But I don't know how to do it."

"Can you read space and repeat these movements now, here, with me?"

"Let's try," he agreed obediently.

He sat down opposite her and concentrated, closing his eyes. His hands slowly began to move along and across her body, from bottom to top, sometimes with turns clenched into a fist.

Kamily carefully watched his passes, trying to remember it all. It was as if he was opening and closing something, moving and slowing down. The technique of this practice turned out to be very difficult to remember right away. Soon she felt a familiar hot flow and the space suddenly expanded into another dimension.

Lariel couldn't believe what he saw. His amazement knew no bounds. Everything around glowed with multi-colored tongues of flame, and he himself hovered in the form of flowing purple and blue streams of plasma. Kamily was nearby and looked at him with blue eyes and looked amazing. Her Essence emitted multi-colored rays, breaking through pulsating streams of white fire, and glowing transparent wings flowed behind her. To her side, two rainbow cocoons, shining from within, were held by movable cords.

"Kamily?" He tried to say, but did not hear a sound.

Lariel looked around and thought about his son. Immediately in front of him he saw the essence of Ekiloren in the form of moving streams of blue and lilac plasma; his eyes were closed, as if he were sleeping. The thought of Erin brought an image of the essence of his brother, who was also sleeping. Its appearance was extremely fantastic: blue and purple streams of fire intertwined and sparkled, its wings emitted dazzling purple rays...

Lariel woke up lying on the floor in shock from what had happened. He had never seen anything like this in any of his meditations. Everything was so real and at the same time incredible, it was a visit to some higher dimension. He perked up, remembering Kamily. She lay with her arms outstretched on the bed and unconscious.

Lariel brought her to her senses, sitting down next to her.

"Well, did you see it?" Were her first words.

"Yes, I'm impressed," he looked at her with some kind of frightened look. "Especially you."

"You didn't come closer to me."

"Was it necessary?" His face tensed.

Kamily laughed.

"Palien wasn't afraid, he went in for a kiss, and you just hung around and looked around."

"It's great that you were able to repeat this magic to get there. Now we can all go in there. What else did you see there?"

"I thought about Eki, then about my brother and saw their essences made of fire. Erin also looks unusual. Your conceived children hung next to you on cords. Everything is so unusual to perceive. So, Palien has been there more than once?"

"It seems so. He acted very confidently while I was at a loss. He approached, took hands and the fiery love of the syrinxes began. You can do this with a princess, it's worth it, it's a very strong feeling.

"How did Palien know about this technique?" Lariel asked.

"He has been living for a very long time, he is more than a thousand years old. I also spied it somewhere. He sees right through everything and will understand that you already know this secret. So don't cross paths with him, don't think about it. He is a very insightful telepath. It's very difficult for me to be around him, but it's good practice to learn to hide my thoughts.

"From Rohen you could receive unheard of powers..."

"Stop wooing your friend. I don't want to listen to you praise him," Kamily shook her head.

"How does he annoy you?"

"Nothing! I don't need other men and you are enough!"

"I love you and want to make you invincible, then not one Xantarian will be able to manipulate you. Rohen will grant you powerful magic if you accept his advances."

"Stop it, Lariel! I am so tired…"
