Mary
Johnny listened as Ling began to sing a chant in her own native Mandarin language. When she spoke the language of the Dragon Clan, she had an accent that took a while to get used to. Still, no one had any trouble understanding her.
She called out the princess's name and her image appeared in the mirror.
"Who summons me?" Elena demanded, looking startled. Dark circles hung beneath her sunken eyes, her skin a bit paler than normal and her lovely dress had a couple of small unidentifiable stains on it. She had not fared well since his last meeting with her.
"Lady Chief Ling of the Dragon Clan," Ling answered form

Cargo
Johnny woke with a start. He wasn't in the cave anymore and both Little Girl and Goldie were gone. The dark stone walls had been replaced by blue-green canvas, which flapped gently in the breeze as the afternoon sun filtered through the rich fabric.
He shifted, suddenly feeling the comfortable cot beneath him, the light blankets covering him, the nice pillow…and he was stark naked; even his hair was undone.
He stretched and inhaled deeply, catching the smell of food nearby. When he sat up and scratched his jaw, he discovered his face had been shaved while he slept. His hair and skin smelled of lavender soap

Memories Continued
Ling and her husband Isaac adopted Jonathan as one of their own. They already had a biological daughter just a year younger than Johnathan named Aiko and a son two years older named Noah.
Once a captured slave herself, Ling had traveled far from her home in China, having been traded off or sold to different masters throughout her life, beginning at the age of ten. Eventually she found herself belonging to a master in the Middle East where the Dragon Clan discovered and raided her band.

Memories
Jonathan Taylor Smith began his first twelve years of life in a small city. His parents were neither rich nor struggling to make ends meet.

Refuge
Little Girl landed tiredly next to Johnny on the steep sandy grade a few yards from the cave's entrance. Goldie leapt off her withers and onto Johnny's back as he lay prone with his forehead pressed against his forearm, trying not to vomit as the cramp subsided.
"Get up!" Goldie squeaked urgently in his ear as Little Girl pushed him with tear-stained muzzle, soaking the cloth of his robes as she started to cry again. "They're too far away to see us, but I can still hear their noisy engines coming and it won't be long before that storm hits us."
Johnny shifted and Goldie jumped off his back. He tried to breathe

Epilogue
“The only constant in the universe is change,” Polly Langley
It took a long time for things to go back to normal, or rather as close to normal as possible. Nearly everything seemed to be in upheaval, both in our personal lives and in the bigger picture.
This year was known as The Long Season by the Edens. The real Egg Season had passed only days after my family and I had returned home, but the eggs in cryo were still being slowly released to different worlds. Symbiotes long held in stasis were hatching in droves everywhere the Shining Ones could find suitable hosts on the many worlds that had

The Being and company kick ass!
The Being only hesitated in taking direct action against the Z.M.C.’s operation on this planet which we did not even know the name of, it waited as Aiko’s brilliantly invented computer virus wreaked havoc on the shield generator system that protected both the planet and the individual compounds located all over the planet. It watched and planned while it waited for its chance to pounce, communicating with the Terran officials that were involved in trying to take down the Z.M.C.”s illegal and immoral operation from both the outside and inside for the past two yea
