The Alien Love Series Chapter 111: JP and Voice.
Chapter 111: JP and Voice.Place: Dagerstanteen's palace. Inside JP's lab. JP's perspectiveJP didn't know who poisoned the future ruler of the Dagerstanteens… yet. Rubbing his tentacles together, he strode out of his lab. His failure beat at him with every step he took. What he knew about the Ply Weed was still so limited. What he needed to do was travel back to the moon of Franca.Trying to calm his annoyance, he inwardly cringed at the idea of leaving the palace to hunt down a weed of all things. All this work, and in the end, he wasn't helping in the search for his lost sibling. Fenton was still not found. In every aspect, he was failing his family. He needed to think. Reaching his sleeping chamber, JP used his mind to ask Rhylent to ready his ship. When he was finished talking to his sibling in his head, JP headed into the room that held his loominairin. His gray Nebos fluttered, sensitive to his frustration. After JP paused, he shaped his Nebos into a stool. Once seated in fron
The Alien Love Series Chapter 112: Meet Ike, AKA Voice.
Chapter 112: Meet Ike, AKA Voice.Ike sat at his eating table across from Fenton, Queen Shay, and Shay's daughter, Princess Lee. He absently petted the end of his long black hair braid while the three of them grumbled over his announcement. "Can we discuss this?" Fenton asked as he shook his head. The bolo beads on the tips of his purple tubes clacked together as if seconding the Dagerstanteen's question. "Can we talk about options?""Discuss if you must, but you all know that we don't have another idea." Ike let go of his long hair and studied Fenton's sharp gaze. "We keep talking about this repeatedly, but the answer is always the same. I must sacrifice myself. The Panchen Fire grows bigger and bigger every day, and soon I will not be able to contain it in my body. The fire must be returned to the heart of the Planet Albeon. It is the only way to keep everyone safe. You all know the dangers if this continues.""I think what Fenton means is that we—" Queen Shay wiped at a single tear
The Alien Love Series Chapter 113: The orange tree.
Chapter 113: The orange tree.Ike entered his two-acre enclosed garden and scanned for the queen. Shay's typically regal form sat hunched on the bench under his orange tree. The glass ceiling of the yard was being pelted with rain as she wept softly. Ike paused as he considered what to say to the only mother figure he'd had in his life.Reaching into the pocket of his robes, Ike fished out his rolling papers and his small square container of Pix herbs. He pinched out a tiny amount of loose leaves from the box and then rolled them into a cigarette. Once he had the cigarette to his lips and his container back in his pocket, he strolled toward the queen.Sitting next to Lee, Ike blew on the end of the rolled paper. The Panchen Fire turned the herbs into glowing embers, and he started to smoke. The old king of the Dagerstanteens used to say that sometimes silence was the best way to communicate. At this point, Ike didn't know what Queen Shay wanted to hear, so he sat."Baja used to love wa
The Alien Love Series Chapter 114: One small stop.
Chapter 114: One small stop. Sitting at the main control panel of the small spaceship that Princess Lee had brought to him, Ike set a course toward the planet Albeon. Even though Fenton and Lee had given him a speech on not giving up his life without looking into options, Ike couldn't ignore the Fire of Life burning inside him. The Panchen fire wasn't a creation he could explain to anyone unless they had the living blaze inside them. The inferno was getting harder and harder to contain, and Ike had to get rid of the fire spirit soon. He felt like a bomb was about to go off, and he was also aware that Albeon was dying. The planet's life force was less than a flicker, and without renewal, the surface would grow cold and no longer support the people and animals.He had to do this. He must. Besides, he was tired of living in solitude and sitting in a sanctuary, watching years go by, day after day. Maybe the long periods of isolation weren't so bad when Baja was alive, but then the Dagerst
The Alien Love Series Chapter 115: Tope.
Chapter 115: Tope.The planet of Tope was basically a giant rock floating in space with two small stars turning the sphere into a barren wasteland. As far as Ike could see, the entire expanse was craters, pits, and holes. From what Ike read about the world, the whole place was intricate caves that were primarily empty with few lifeforms. Right now, however, the planet looked busy.Twenty different spaceships were parked in rows in a massive dip on the far side of where he flew. One particular cavity-type entrance appeared to be guarded by five fully armed Folantos.Ike landed his ship as close to the cave's entry as possible. His hope was that this interaction would be an in-and-out thing where he would be on his way in no time. He intended to buy JP and leave. Simple.Opening his back hatch, Ike marched down the short metal flap and then stood on the dusty surface of the harsh landscape. The wind picked up, and, in the distance, he spotted a small dust storm. Upon seeing the whirling
The Alien Love Series Chapter 116: Using the fire.
Chapter 16: Using the fire."The Dagerstanteen isn't for sale." The big Folanto spoke first. "Back off, Albeon warrior.""Now wait a moment, Begermay," The Deltan waved the Folanto to the side and stepped toward Ike. "I have never seen anyone from Albeon here before. Maybe I want to hear what this warrior has to say.""Name the price, and I will pay it." Ike set his gloved hands on his guns. "I don't care what it is. I want the Dagerstanteen.""I already bought the slave," Begermay snapped at him. "This Dagerstanteen is not for sale.""Don't you want to hear the number?" The Deltan seller asked. "I'm curious. Aren't you?""I don't care about the war between the Albeon slime and the Dagerstanteen trash. I want the Dagerstanteen. This garbage will pay the price for what their leader did to us in the dome." The Folanto dug a finger into one of JP's cuts. "Take your war to the battlefield where it belongs and leave us.""Name a price." Ike stretched his neck to the left and right to get ou
The Alien Love Series Chapter 117: Free me.
Chapter 117: Free me.The five Folantos on his ship spread out around his command center. The one on Ike's left held a specific kind of weapon that shot an energy rope. If he remembered right, the gun was called a tatin. Ike tried to do calm breathing as he shook his head. There was about to be more senseless death. He would not be taken alive, and there was no way he was putting JP through more torture. Maybe these beings would be wise and run away."If you leave my ship, no one else has to die." Ike glanced at JP. The Dagerstanteen scanned Ike and then his enemies. Ike wasn't sure how much JP caught that he'd recently killed more aliens than he should have. The Dagerstanteen was all about healing, so he might be miffed at Ike's behavior."We are not afraid of anyone from Albeon." The Folanto nearest JP sneered and took a step closer to Ike's Dagerstanteen. "You will both make excellent additions to our fighting ring."Taking another deep calming breath, Ike ground his teeth together
The Alien Love Series Chapter 118: Nice try.
Chapter 118: Nice try.Annoyed, Ike threw himself into the seat in front of his ship's dashboard and brought up all the spacecraft's computer systems and life board warnings."Your wiring is badly burned," JP murmured from behind him. "Free me—""And you'll help me, right?" Ike rolled his eyes. "Thanks, but I'll figure this out alone. I'm used to being by myself.""Now, which one of us is obstinate?"Ike knew there was no way he would reach Albeon with this damage. The destination was too far, and the main power was failing. Using his navigator buttons, Ike projected on the celling his mapping system and weighed the options of flying back home.Reading quickly, he assessed how far he could get before the vessel would become a floating pile of space debris.Using his fingers, he waved to move the star charts as he scanned the surrounding areas. Ike looked for a mildly friendly planet where he could do a few repairs. Even with a patch job, he wasn't sure he could get to the temple, and h

Chapter 136: The end of... Life and Death.Standing between his grove of apple trees and his rows of orange trees, Ike stopped and inhaled the blossoms in the wind. The bright star of the Dagerstanteen planet had him closing his eyes and sighing in delight. He'd never been outside this much, and he was addicted to the warm fresh air. He grinned. There were a few things he was addicted to now, one of which was the three humans laughing, chatting, and strolling toward him.Ike opened his eyes and smiled at the three men walking between his carrots."Ike," Chasm called. "We are here to learn.""Thank you for agreeing to take care of my plants while I travel with JP." Ike nodded."Caveman." Sloan approached him using the nickname he'd given Ike after they met. Sloan held up his hand, and Ike slapped Sloan's palm before his new friend jogged over to where the row of raspberry bushes was growing. "This is badass."Ike glanced at Chasm and raised an eyebrow."It means good," Chasm translated.
The Alien Love Series Chapter 135: Taking the fire back.
Chapter 135: Taking the fire back.JP didn't make a sound after Lee's announcement, but Ike could see his thoughts moving in a whirl. JP was making plans. The alien was rigging up a way to pull him from the fire if he said yes. The alien was also simultaneously trying to figure out how to keep Ike alive for a long time if he didn't hold the fire and if they didn't get the lifesaving water. Ike was very old and his Dagerstanteen blood would only do so much. Plus, all the humans needed the healing water. It wasn't just his life they were talking about here."I…" Ike pictured going back to the rain planet. He would have to watch time tick by while he held the fire again. The loneliness would eat at him. "I will have to return to the sanctuary," Ike murmured."Never," JP snapped."You do know that you burned that to the ground, right?" Keltrix asked."I will forbid you from returning to your old home." Octnavin's sentence was unmovable stone. "If you were to take the ember and regrow the P
The Alien Love Series Chapter 134: Life after the fire.
Chapter 134: Life after the fire.As soon as Ike had the sensation of being set on a cold table, his eyes opened wide. It had been a long time since Ike felt the sensation of cold."JP?""He is here."Ike looked into Keltrix's eyes and then pushed away from the tentacles holding him. He sat and swung his legs until he was on the edge of an exam table in a laboratory."Where am I?" Ike glanced at Keltrix and then at Octnavin. Next to him on a second table was JP. The alien looked burned from head to toe. He wasn't moving, and Ike felt panic. Did the fire kill JP? Why was everyone acting like it didn't matter?"JP?" Ike set his hand on his blackened skin. The hard surface was rippled and rough."What is that thing that Sloan likes to say?" Keltrix asked Octnavin."He bounces back fast." Octnavin crossed his middle tentacles over his chest."Yes," Keltrix agreed. "That's it.""Where are we?" Ike glanced at the leader of the Dagerstanteens. "Is JP dead?""This is our ship, and we are parke
The Alien Love Series Chapter 133: At the fire temple.
Chapter 133: At the fire temple.Ike kept himself conscious by listening to the Dagerstanteen that carried him. JP found the most boring things to list in Ike's head until he had to fight not to sleep. Although Ike struggled to stay awake, he did agree that JP kept his emotions and the fire calm.As the air got colder, the cooler air had him focusing. The six of them started to climb up a wide rock staircase on the closest side of a small mountain. The guards that had followed them stayed at the bottom. All around them was water, and there were no sides or railings to the steps. One move to the left or the right, and they would fall into the dark, murky moat.Ike lifted his chin and tipped his head as they marched. His heart beat a little faster when he spotted the Panchen Fire Shrine.This is where he would die.When they reached the end of the staircase, JP stepped onto smooth marble. Ike noted that the water lapped at the highest point and splashed like the liquid wanted to take ove
The Alien Love Series Chapter 132: Albeon
Chapter 132: Albeon.When Ike awoke, he was cradled in JP's tentacles, but the skin was not soft and silky. The tentacles that held him were stiff and hard and throbbing with heat. The alien had turned his skin into armor, and Ike didn't know why.Blinking rapidly, Ike was about to explain again how he was heading to Albeon no matter what JP said, but as he focused his eyes, he was shocked and speechless at what was happening around him.JP stood in front of Princess Lee and three old Albeon women. Ike knew who those women were. Shay had told him about the three elders. There was Dilma, Payson, and Rolla. He was finally on the planet Albeon and besides the women in front of him, all around the open field, stood male Albeon guards of every shape and size. The number of weapons pointed at him was concerning, and he found himself holding his breath.On the right of JP stood Octnavin holding a sizeable pink bundle in his arms. On JP's left side stood a fully armed Keltrix like a silent sen
The Alien Love Series Chapter 131: Out of control.
Chapter 131: Out of control. Fenton and Shay stood in his living area. As Ike walked out of his bedroom, he began to roll a cigarette. He felt nauseous and wanted to curl up and cry and rail against the unfairness of life. But he wouldn't do that in front of anyone. He could fall apart later when he was alone. Right now, he had to get dressed and leave with some dignity. He could hear Baja in his head. He needed to get it together and keep the fire calm."Ike—" Fenton stopped when JP strode out of Ike's bedroom. "JP? What are you doing here?""Greetings," Shay murmured as her eyes went from JP to Ike. "I didn't know he was...." Shay lifted her eyebrows and then grinned. "What were you doing in your bedroom?""Talking." Ike gave Shay a warning look to let it go and then brought his cigarette to his lips."Arguing," JP said at the same time."Did you bring me a new ship?" Ike asked as he lit his cigarette and ignored the Dagerstanteen."I brought mine. I will escort you." Queen Shay nod
The Alien Love Series Chapter 130: Time to leave.
Chapter 130: Time to leave.Ike used JP's tentacle as a pillow as he stared at the ceiling above his bed. For the last two days, he'd had sex, talked, ate, laughed, and had more sex. In the end, he did everything he could so that he wouldn't have to tell JP that he was going to his death. He'd never been this happy, and he hated to end his relationship with the Dagerstanteen but....He knew he had to, and soon.Any moment Lee or Shay would show up with a ship, and he was leaving to fly to Albeon. He must get rid of the fire. The flame was staying calm right now, but the blaze could get out of control, and it was only a matter of time before the fire burst from him. His exhaustion was rising from trying to keep the fire from blowing, and he was scared to find out what would happen if he ran out of energy. He would not be responsible for that kind of destruction. Ike had to tell JP and explain. It was the right thing to do.Ike rolled over and cushioned his cheek against JP's shoulder. H
The Alien Love Series Chapter 129: Playing.
Chapter 129: Playing."I cannot believe I am about to make a fool of myself." Ike sat in the middle of the bench and stared up at the massive instrument. The strings were on the right and left and came down from a long bar across the top. He couldn't even reach some parts of the instrument unless he got up and ran around. He refused to be that ridiculous.Cracking his knuckles, Ike paused as he decided he would play the easiest song he knew, and even though he couldn't hit all the notes, it would probably sound good enough that his ears wouldn't bleed."Any time," JP teased."You'll regret this." Ike glared at the alien and then reached his hands outward and wiggled his fingers.JP made a slight giggle under his breath.Ike ignored the alien and began the song. He plucked at each string until the notes shimmered in the air. The sound waves rolled off the loominairin, and he grinned at the beauty of the music. The song was simple, and he had just reached halfway went JP moved behind him
The Alien Love Series Chapter 128: Flying back home.
Chapter 128: Flying back home.When Ike awoke, he pulled himself into a sitting position and leaned against the front window of his ship. He was naked and covered in a blanket. After he rubbed his eyes, he glanced over his shoulder. His home planet was coming into view."What happened?" Ike bounded to his feet in shock and then wrapped the cloth around his waist. He hunted for his armor and picked up the pieces of clothing strewn all over the command deck."I do not know what you are asking me. Nothing happened." JP gave him a quick look before he went back to flying his ship. "You fell asleep after you reached your third climax. You have quite the stamina. I think that is your Dagerstanteen blood." The alien sounded amused. "When we were free to leave the ocean floor, and there were no threats to the ship, I took over flying and let you rest. I said goodbye to Tullie for you.""I bet you did," Ike muttered as he pictured what JP probably said about Ike being placed in a sexual stupor
