give Olaris enough time to make that call.”
    She lifted off and floated while he got the vehicle going. She let him get a head start, and then, she floated after him at a leisurely pace until Targo chortled with the urge to win the race. “Competitive thing, aren’t you?”
    She increased her speed and flickered past Jarrod in a few seconds, landing two minutes before he set his vehicle down.
    Another crowd of Yaluthu gathered around her, and they swirled in an endless pattern of creatures getting drunk off the power leaking out of her.
    A woman in swirling robes and a bright gown came out with a bright-eyed raptor on her shoulder. “Hello, Rathi. I am Veera, Headmistress of the Citadel Balen. You are going to let one of our Minder’s look for repressed memories?”
    Rathi smiled. “Hello, Veera. Yes, I want to know who I was before I became a weapon.”
    The bird on her shoulder screeched and raised its wings. Targo chortled and flapped his wings excitedly.
    “Whoa, little guy. Do you want down?” She tried to put Targo down, but he fought her, and she lifted him back to her hip again.
    Veera smiled. “He is merely greeting Fixit. This is what your little fellow there will turn into in a few years or even months. Fixit is the oldest, but the next in line may be fairly close.”
    Rathi looked down at Targo in surprise. “He is going to turn into a hunting animal?”
    Veera grinned, “And when he changes, he will have his young, and they will grow over a ten-year period until they are the same size yours is now. Once they have their young, the cycle begins again. They are super cute while they are that size, aren’t they?”
    “He is adorable, but I don’t think I can carry him around all the time and he fusses when I try to put him down.”
    Veera gave her a sober look. “If he doesn’t want to go down, that means that he feels you need him, and with the size of the crowd around your legs, I am thinking that he is right. Now, come inside. Rebani is waiting to see you. She has a class of Minders and medics, and they will all be watching.”
    Rathi frowned. “Will they see my thoughts and memories? I have some fairly violent incidences in my history.”
    “They might see them, but since that is not the purpose of this investigation, they should ignore them. Is that acceptable?”
    Rathi looked to Jarrod, and he nodded.
    She hugged Targo tight and said, “Let’s do this.”
     
     
     
     

Chapter Six
     
     
    Reclining in the chair made it easy for the Yaluthu to crawl all over her. She was coated in the fluffy and adorable creatures, and Targo was keeping his place on her chest.
    Rebani was a Master Instructor Minder and a Garvor. Her red enamelled scales made her look like a walking ruby. “Are you prepared?”
    “Of course. Are you clear on what you are looking for?”
    “I am going back before you were the Destroyer to find your first memory. I will be careful and the students will be monitoring my mind, not yours.” Rebani smiled. “Veera will be watching everything.”
    Veera was standing near the wall, and her hands were folded in front of her, but Fixit was on her shoulder, his eyes glittering with alert attention. Jarrod was next to her, a fixed and concerned expression on his face.
    Rathi took a deep breath, and Rebani sat beside her. The Garvor took her hand and they breathed slowly until their chests rose and fell in unison.
    Rathi felt Rebani touch her thoughts, and she fought the instinctive reaction to destroy the intruder.
    Rebani moved warily through her mind and sifted memory after memory, seeking the moment before the first time she exercised her talent in defence of her world.
    The moment Rebani reached the first memory, Rathi braced herself, but what she was shown shocked both of them so much, Rebani retreated.
    Rathi sat up and got to her feet, the Yaluthu tumbled to the floor, but she couldn’t be bothered with that now. Her thoughts reeled, and she distantly heard Veera calling
