All Chapters of Dark Goddess: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Talira shook her graceful head. “Unfortunately, I don't know too much about cryptography. But that much is clear: it is by no means a simple encryption system; on the contrary, it is extremely complex. Even Itirana's computers will have to deal with it for a very long time if the code is not known. ”“ Perhaps the Protector owns it, ”speculated Tjonre,“ it would be obvious that PaDorkis worked for him. ”“ We'll see ” , said Talira. The meme rose in the column, Tjonre took it and handed it to Elri, who carefully integrated it into the medallion and then put it back around her neck. Meanwhile, Talira disappeared.“I wouldn't be surprised if the information recorded on this meme is more important than anything Raft and I have found out on Ivarn over the past ten years,” Tjonre concluded, thinking, 'It's easy, that really would be no wonder '.Elri looked at him sadly. “I'm afraid you are righ

Well," Reja chirped in a very friendly way, "I have a little request!""That would be?" Asked Tjonre, a little annoyed at her inappropriate cheerfulness."Well ..." she began in mock shyness. “Look, all hell will break loose here in a few hours. The last moments of my two very tough opponents. Tough, you are! Nobody else gave me so much trouble. And in the uplifting moment of your end, shortly before you are atomized and only a small pile of dust remains of you, which will drift through space for all eternity .. ", she took a deep breath, moved by her speech," I shouldn't be there be? Shouldn't I be able to watch? Don't I feed on your fear and panic? That wouldn't be fair! Guys, in short, I'll get in touch, let's say half an hour in advance, and it would be nice if you guys go to the reception so that I can watch how ... ”."Talira!", Tjonre shouted, "I've had enough!" The figure of the blonde woman faded immediately and only the two men and the holo

Talira appeared - quietly as it was her way - but also unusually unspectacular in the large crystal dome on Itirana. Her simple gray dress dampened her fancy appearance, although he failed to give the impression of mediocrity. However, you couldn't tell from the Protector's expression whether he was impressed by the unusual thing about her appearance. His voice, too, was cold as ice and seemed numb. "Talira, what gives me the honor?" His red eyes fixed on the apparition."There are some things you should know."He sighed. “It would be nice if you had something positive to say. That would be a change. ”“ How to take it, ”she said. “The slave Tjonre bought - she really is Lezart PaDorki's daughter. Tjonre has found that the two pictures in her locket are large memes. One of them contains the coordinates of Historias, the other an encrypted message. ”The Protector was enthusiastic, a feeling he rarely felt. "At last! Fin

The flash was so bright that it briefly blinded Tjonre, the plasma pulse beam shot just past the dinghy and produced a red glow far behind them that was only dull at first, but shone brighter with each further pulse of energy and finally - apparently after a little eternity - something shattered. There was a tremendous explosion, brighter than the beam that had emitted from the mother ship, one of the dots on the small graphic went out, the closer one.The ferry was now level with the mother ship and left it behind. Again a plasma pulse beam licked through space and found its target, further away from the ferry this time, but dangerously close and ever closer to the mother ship and the rocket still withstood the vehement attack. It was evident that the Raptor-G-II was about to attack its attacker. As she suffered from the high-energy force of the attack and became glowing brightly, she still came closer and Tjonre lost hope that the mothership could escape the missile. Then t

Elri went straight to the control room because she was neither hungry nor thirsty. Filling the room and frightening was the eaten chunk to see, the moon moon and it approached. The sight made her dizzy. Soon one would be able to see the mothership and until then hope lived. She didn't really expect the ship to be intact enough for them to use it to escape. So was fate not to her. Not to her. If you had to live the life of a slave, you got used to hope. Hope was fatal. Resignation, surrendering to one's fate meant survival. Again, survival didn't mean much. Often she had hoped it would finally be over. When her parents died, when she had to get used to being a slave for the first time, when she had to separate from "her" children again and again and - not least - when she was at the mercy of Elina and SiWender. That she was with someone who loved her now was just wonderful. Even if it was soon over, even if there was no future together on Wägan's Islands; what she had not experi

Well, I don't want to see her anymore, but I want to show Elri the ship anyway.Whatever you want. ” Raft was very different from Tjonre. A quiet life, as Tjonre planned, would be his death. He never shied away from arguments and loved serious opponents. He had classified Reja as one. When Tjonre and Elri had left the room, he turned to Talira: “Let's see what our favorite enemy wants from us. So far she's still been amusing, so connect us. ”“ Good, ”she said,“ but keep in mind that contact can only be made at the speed of light at the moment, so you have to wait about fourteen seconds for an answer. ”“ Galaxy! That too! ". And after a while: "It doesn't matter."Reja appeared. According to her facial expressions, she had just bitten into something very sour. She greeted him most cordially: “Are you still alive? Damn it, you are difficult to destroy! ”Then she waited, obviously irritated, and h

Bring it in front of the city wall, I'll take care of the rest . ”“ I understand ”, Kimral replied respectfully,“ thank you anyway for coming. ”A coin changed hands and shortly afterwards the priest had left."What? What did he say? Leave the city? I can't leave town! How should i I can hardly see anything! ”There was horror in her shaky voice. “Kimral,” she pleaded, “let me stay here. I give you my precious jewelry; I have a lot of them under the bed, you know that. You're welcome! You can give my beautiful clothes to the girls, just please let me stay. ”“ I'll get your jewelry anyway. ”The man took her arm unnecessarily roughly and pulled her up. The dance girl cried out in pain, but was too weak and, due to her visual impairment, too helpless to fight back. He dragged her with him like a doll and again she began to plead: “Then at least let me take my things with me. My jewelry! H

“ Not quite yet. Where do we have to go? ”“ Somewhere where we have the opportunity to get in touch with Talira. To a radio station, a laser, whatever, as long as it's not an Enigma communicator, ”Raft explained.Tjonre looked at the map. “They obviously didn't have anything like Olympus in the 'Hyborian Age', but a few channels are already listed. The next one goes upriver to the mountains east of the sea, see? I guess we'll be on the road for a few weeks. ”“ You gods! ”Cursed Raft,“ you know how reluctant I am to be on foot! ”“ Please stop cursing the gods. This is bad. You only got used to that here on Historia. "" Where else are there gods? "Raft thought for a while, but not about where else there could be gods, then he continued:" We need weapons anyway. This is certainly not a peaceful continent. There's no such thing on Historia. ”Tjonre secretly agreed. Raft continu

Reja, dearest cousin! How nice that you remember me. Didn't you want to tell me about the successful completion of your mission some time ago? ”The man's voice was unusually deep. Reja stepped closer and sat next to Ephram on the bright sofa. Everything in the room was bright to contrast with its owner. Reja, who knew that, had nevertheless opted for cardinal red overalls, slipped off her matching high-heeled shoes and laid her legs on the sofa so that the tips of her toes touched the thigh of the unrestricted ruler.“I did, indeed. Unfortunately there were delays. And losses, people and material. "" You are talking about the two raptors - missiles and ... "" And two murderers, my best at that. "" How is that possible? Didn't you say the other commander you executed said it was an incompetent fool? ”“ Yes, Franak mentioned something like that. ”“ And after you found out that Franak himself was a fool,

Alone, without male protection you want to send me abroad? ”She pouted.“Since when do you need protection? And besides: I'm not sending you anywhere. Already forgotten? And I will certainly not allow any pirate that has flown along to raid this planet. When the time comes, I'll do it personally. That's why I'm making my own spaceship available for this tour - a very small but fine one. For a person. You will act as my contact person. I don't have to scare off a good customer. He paid very well for the fact that nobody but me knew the way to Historia and therefore he had to know that you came from me and on official behalf. ”“ Historia, is that the name of the planet? And who is he And how do you know that this is the right planet? ”“ Yes, Historia, that's the name of this world. 'He' calls himself Zeus Kronion, the thunderer, and now guess what his hair is doing! "Reja opened her mouth and eyes to three astonished,
