The outer shell of the stone also reacts with the air, as well as with the heat radiation of your body, which gives the impression that it can produce energy itself. In fact, this does not take place. It only turns a tiny bit of energy into an unbelievable amount from the reaction with the bare air in its environment and releases it back into it. That's why it shimmers that way.
Incidentally, the alloy contains traces of almost all metals I know, interwoven with protein compounds that are completely foreign to me. The chemical liquid in the glass case complexes the individual protein molecules. This means that it occupies the binding sites of the proteins with various ions, especially magnesium and calcium, and thus blocks further reactions. But when it has evaporated, then it starts.
I think we don't have to wait long. ”He finished and now turned his gaze to the lonely stone in the white bowl.
Aurelia assumed that neither of them understood everythi
After Pareios had closed the large steel sliding door behind him, Markus fixed it with his amber eyes. "Is there anything else you haven't told me about your vision?" The tone of voice was still gentle. Markus caught his flies with sweet honey, to which they then stuck.She tried to make an innocent face and suddenly her gift opened up a way for her. Now she knew how to get around it!"Nothing that is of primary importance for the stones." That wasn't a lie, at least she didn't know whether it was so or not, and so she could honestly accept it."Aha, and what was that now?" He urged her to continue reporting.“I'd rather keep that to myself, it's very private.” That wasn't a lie either, after all, the confusing feelings primarily concerned her. Markus smelled the roast, of course, just as intended. Skepticism was written on his face. He took the test bite on the bait, so to speak. "More precisely, please!" He smiled winningly now.
The others had already got in and squeezed between the various bags and suitcases with which the machine was crammed. She got in in front of Pareios and tried to ignore Row's outrageously conspicuous grin. Pareios sat down next to her, the headphones were handed out and the pilot turned up the engine speed to take off.Slowly she lowered her hand to the steel floor beside her. She hoped nobody would notice the movement, but she wanted to feel his skin again. The need for his closeness and his promise gave her a boost. What was the matter with her? She asked herself for the hundredth time in these last few days. She really had to pull herself together!Relieved, she finally felt his warmth, as if by himself he folded his hand with hers. She couldn't help but smile and this time she was aware of it.Viktor interrupted her thoughts gruffly. “Aurelia! What did Markus want from you? ”The imperious tone was so strange to her. She reported bri
"Viktor, have you seen any other council member in the bunker in the past few days?" He thought for a moment, then paused. "No, I don't think so ..." he whispered, startled. Aurelia wrinkled her nose. Viktor didn't think he knew, she was sure of that."Have you met Cassiopaia or Liif?" He asked Row, since her sister was friends with the two women and councilors. But she too shook her head, dumb and uneasy."Do you think they were brought to safety?" Aiden asked everyone, but Viktor said no. “I just can't imagine that. These people are on the council because they have always fought on the front lines. I don't want to believe that they are now pulling their tail when something so threatening is coming at us. "Only it was completely irrelevant here what Viktor wanted or not, Aurelia thought bitterly to herself. It would also mean that they were convinced that the stones were already in danger to their lives. In this case, however, it was again unusual
Not bad! I love Drum'n'Bass! "Aurelia admitted, which of course he had known. "But I warn you, I can't dance!""Just because you've never tried it!" He said gently. "If necessary, you can hold on to me!" He added happily and sprayed his charm over her by giving her a winning smile. That made her stomach tingle again and the butterflies seemed to nudge every corner of her body.It wasn't long before they reached the entrance and Pareios paid their entrance fee, whereupon each of them was given a stamp on their hand. Here in this world everything cost money, completely different than in the bunker and among your kind, but on missions they always had some with them, here it was necessary after all. Even when they left their jackets in the cloakroom, they paid a certain amount per item of clothing. Aurelia was unfamiliar with the whole process, so she just followed Pareios further into the club and down a staircase that was bordered by light, sand-colored natural stone wal
To be honest, I have no idea," he admitted after a moment's hesitation. "But if you want to, I would like to get involved. I mean, we don't have to rush anything. I have no experience with anything like that, more with… ”He left the sentence unfinished, but Aurelia completed it. "Bed stories?" She tried to smile, even though the monster spread nagging jealousy within her. But if he made it easy for her, then she wanted to do the same for him. This side was just as much a part of his character and ultimately it was an expression of his passion, she just hadn't found the right channel yet. He nodded in relief. "Well, we have something in common!" She said cheerfully. "I may not be quite like you, but I mean ..." He raised an eyebrow but didn't elaborate on it."Ok, um then let's let things take their course and see what happens?" He suggested uncertainly, but then something seemed to occur to him. "I only have one condition!" She explored the expression on his face
"No. The two gorillas lit a butt. I guess you have enough time to make it down! ”She replied in a busy tone and waved her hand to shoo her out of the room.Pareios, Viktor, and Aurelia stormed out the door. They took the stairs, the elevator would have taken too long. Before they passed the reception, they slowed down and strolled casually past the doorman, who was still eyeing them suspiciously.Once outside, they parted briefly. Viktor literally disappeared to get the SUV. It was risky to keep driving around in the same stolen car, but they had no choice. There was no time to steal another one in broad daylight.It had started to rain. Thick heavy drops fell from the sky and soon condensed into a torrential deluge. Her clothes showed large dark stains, and immediately soaked up with the moisture. The two bodyguards huddled under the little shelter that was provided by a small glass ledge above the entrance area.Then the door turned again and the
So, you and Pareios?" Asked Viktor in an indignant whisper as they slowly crept around the corner and ran along the large wall of the complex as inconspicuously as possible. After a few meters they were soaked again except for the cones and their clothes, which had dried a little in the car, turned dark.As soon as they left his brother in the car, the downright bad feeling came back. It was like tapping on the back of her head with a little hammer the whole time. Only when they finally reached the side that could no longer be seen from the street did she reply to Viktor, although she had absolutely no desire to answer his questions, especially not at this moment. After all, she had to concentrate!“I wasn't up to it, you know that!” At least he would have known before. He stared at her from the side in amazement. Slowly the anger rose in her too. She no longer knew that Viktor next to her. Why was he so obviously against this story between her and his brot
They crossed the room quietly and stopped again at the door. "Go!" Ordered her intuition again and she pushed her way through the gap without touching the wood, Viktor followed on her heels. Here in battle they were a well-rehearsed team again, but she knew that impression was deceptive. The lousy feeling that had dominated her the whole time had grown into one big ball of dislike and she had to scrape together all her might to keep her legs from fleeing. She looked around briefly at Viktor, searched his eyes and gave him to understand that she felt more than uncomfortable, but he simply passed it over and thrust the palm of his hand into her back to urge her on. What was she going to do with this Viktor he had now become?When they got to the banister, they stopped for a moment. Her companion's expression hardened and she suspected that he had heard soft voices downstairs. This caused him to push past her and put his foot on the top step.At the same mom
Dareon sprinted out of his room. As he walked, he tied the bow tie that went with the black tuxedo. He often wore suits when he went on his nightly jaunts and in his long life he had worn every kind of fine thread. Until yesterday he would have said nothing could surprise him anymore. But then Cat showed up and taught him otherwise.It had struck like a comet, into his halfway orderly world and now he had to grapple with unsettling thoughts. About the way she looked at him. How did her skin feel and how comfortable her lips?He hated the way he reacted to her and he wanted to just get in his car and sneak away. But what he said this afternoon was true. He wanted to fix what he had screwed up. And his sudden obsession with this woman had absolutely nothing to do with it!Determined to get tonight off the stage professionally, he turned the corner and reached the stairs to the foyer. His gaze fell on the assembled crew at his feet. Most were wrapped in the dark le
The swinging double door slammed shut and they were alone.Her heart pounded from the unexpected contact with him when he had freed her from Christian's grip. She could still feel the warmth of his body on her back, the firm arm around her stomach, the breath that had brushed her hair. She hadn't been able to classify his reaction and was paralyzed.She stood still now, too, but for a different reason than before. Though she was really determined to act confident, she just wasn't. She wasn't really afraid of Dareon, but the angry look that surrounded him earned her a good deal of respect. Like trying to get close to a cobra. Better not to make sudden movements.Dareon had his broad back to her and was staring at the door as well. Her eyes stayed on her strong shoulders, her fingers tingled. She wanted so much to touch him. But when he turned to her, he looked so upset that she decided to postpone the fulfillment of this wish. She nervously pushed back her hair,
A little later, Cat was on the way to Ceiling. Xandra and Blaise were also in the car, the former driving.“What's going on between you two? Did something happen today at noon? ”Xandra asked after a while of quiet harmony. Much to Cat's chagrin, there was no need to discuss who 'you two' were. Dareon's behavior in Ferroc's office had been conspicuous enough, and apparently Cat's quick approval of the deal confirmed Xandra's suspicions. Since she already knew that Cat was into the guy, she hardly had to add one and one together."I'd like to know that too ...", Cat only mumbled and that was the truth. She had no clue what was going on in the object of her desire. Why he'd acted like that and then treated her so dismissively. "Dareon behaved quite ... inconsistently ... I can't figure him out.""So there was more to it than his rejection?" "Slightly."Blaise appeared between the two front se
"And what did he say?"Cat had barely stepped off the elevator on the third floor when Xandra was already attacking her. Less enthusiastic, she reported without going into details, only that Dareon had refused. Especially the fuck off she left out.An arm came comfortingly around her shoulders. “Oh, that'll be fine. Give me a little time and I'll find someone else who can help you. I promise you, I won't leave you alone with this. "Cat looked into the sincere eyes and she almost came to tears. She couldn't believe that an almost stranger wanted to stand up for her like that. Besides, the idea of honing her gift with someone else didn't make her particularly happy. It should be Dareon. She couldn't get him out of her head and the need for his presence hadn't subsided despite his rejection."No. I'm ... just doing it with him ... "she mumbled to herself, lost in thought, while she thought of the pressure of his hands on her waist. The Elevender at he
Dareon stood in front of a group of Elevender and tried to bring them closer to the benefits of close combat. He had put the people in pairs and was now watching them repeat the exercise he had shown them. It was about contact, because one of the basic rules of this technique was: Once you are close enough to the opponent that he can hit you, you have to forestall him. Therefore, he trained his students to seize control of the fight at this moment, to internalize the techniques in such a way that they forced their will on the opponent from this point on. He was not allowed to play again. At least that was the ideal. Of course it would be a while before his students were ready and he would teach them many other things that could save them from sticky situations.But for today he ended the lesson. He wasn't happy with the results they'd gotten, but wasn't sure if it was due to the ineptitude of his students, or maybe more to his miserable mood.More and more Elevenders h
The next morning came too fast for Cat's liking. The rays of the summer sun cheated through the gaps between the curtains that she had drawn up the night before. One of the bright spots of light finally blinded her when the golden ball in the sky had moved a little further, which put an end to her cozy doze. Sighing, she heaved herself out of bed and shuffled into the bathroom to freshen up. In the morning she slept for a long time and could also get a bit bitchy. She took her time and put on makeup again, as she used to wear with her goth look. She found the mascara and cajal she needed behind the mirror over the designer washbasin.In this way she regained a bit of her identity, which had been taken from her again yesterday. She wistfully wished for dark clothes, but then, resignedly, pulled on the forest green sweatshirt dress. It was long, but the length seemed fine. The hem came up just below her knees. She didn't even want to try the jeans, she would have needed a belt
After an hour in this tiny office, he couldn't take it anymore.Hard to believe, but the room was really losing size. The walls seemed to get closer and closer, it got darker and darker. But maybe the latter was just his eyesight. When a panic attack loomed, he got tunnel vision that was announced by a dark and blurred field of vision. The other signs of it were also raised. His neck felt like an elephant was sitting on it, and his hands and feet went numb. He figured he had about fifteen minutes before snogging the carpet. All the emotions in the room made him dizzy, he had to swallow hard as his stomach rebelled.Roman's inner fear billowed through Slater, his subliminal agony crashing against him like waves in the ocean. They tugged on him and he had to put both legs firmly into the ground to brave the onslaught. If Roman was around, it was worse. Then every smallest nuance of the Puerto Rican's emotional world spilled over to him and the more intensely the other fe
Cat looked around the large room. If that was a hotel, it was probably five stars or something. She was standing right next to the entrance and to the right of her was the bathroom. Then the small hallway opened and widened into a huge room, the sand-colored walls of which were lit by soft skylights. The opposite front of the room was almost completely taken up by a frameless window, only the balcony door at the left end had room.The bed stood with the headboard on the right side, the wall behind it was covered with upholstered fabric in a pale gold tone. Two magnificent reading lamps hung down from above and enabled the separate lighting of both beds in the seductively comfortable double bed.Cat walked over and dropped into the chocolate-brown blankets. She landed face first on heavenly scented, soft pillows. A real boon after she hadn't slept or allowed herself to relax for a while. The exhaustion was not only physical but also mental and left her no peace even now
Xandra granted the young woman's wish. She had thought Catlynn Campbell was a fragile, withered branch, but today the young woman had shown amazing strength. After that day that would have blown even the toughest cop, she was still standing upright in Ferroc's office. Although she looked tired and had dark circles down to the back of her knees, her long, thick hair was tousled, the expression on her face was determined. The hand that held out the glass to Xandra did not tremble.After handing out vodka again to everyone involved and each taking a sip, Xandra decided to speak."Listen, Cat. You don't have to decide now whether you want to believe us. You can rest and maybe stay for a while while we try to get to the bottom of your gift. You can move around freely and watch Blackridge and how we live in peace. ""We have more than enough space!" Agreed Ferroc.Cat looked around, then gave them both a quick look. Finally she took a deep breath and nodded. "O
