The hivemind is conquering for me?

A blue beam of energy descended upon the world of Tellorix. Where said beam landed, The Seer and her bodyguard were immediately tended to by a team of doctors. The doctors were appalled by The Seers state and wanted to send her away for life saving surgery.

Aeletha however. ”Take me to my desk. At once!” The doctors ignored the Seer, their medical oath allowing them to break the hierarchy the Seer had over them. They were about to leave the room before Rekosh barricaded the doorway.

”Do as the Seer decrees. You may think you know better, but after what I have seen, I know she knows best.” Aeletha smiled at her bodyguard as the doctors, against their will, brought the very injured Seer to her desk and put her in a sitting position.

Aeletha then looked across her desk, confusing the doctors as the patient was notoriously blind, and requested. ”Rekosh. I need you to go over to the shelf and find the vial with the large skull upon it. *Cough* And some hot water.” She said as she spat out more blood.

The doctor who was currently bandaging up Aeletha’s missing leg requested. ”Please my Seer, let us get you to a proper medical establishment. We cannot guarantee your survival if you remain here!”

’You’re Not guaranteeing my survival anyway.’ Aeletha snapped in her mind, but chose not to say anything as she was feeling rather weak and her mind was occupied elsewhere. Rekosh returned a moment later with a cup of hot water and a vial with a skull that had horns growing from its head.

”No Rekosh, this is the wrong vial. This will kill me instantly if I mix it with the tea. Same skull, no horns Is what you are looking for. And hurry, I am in a great deal of pain.” Rekosh ran back to the shelf after his, very easy to make mistake. He assumed she meant a Starforged skull after all.

A moment later, he returned, this time with the correct vial and placed it in front of the seer. ”Ok Doctor, I need your steady hands for mine are not currently together. Mix a pinch of that green stuff with two pinches of that white stuff. Stir for eight seconds then take that leaf and place it inside the water before adding two drops from that vial.”

There was a pause for a moment as the doctor seemed unsure of the unconventional medicine. Aeletha knew exactly why the doctor was hesitating and stated. ”I have been alive for longer than anyone you will ever know. I know things beyond modern medicine so will you just do as I say and ensure that you keep your job?”

The doctor ultimately decided that he trusted the Seer and followed her instructions to the letter. That was until the last part where he accidentally dropped an extra droplet into the water as he stirred.

Once he stepped away, Rekosh walked forward to pick the cup up and place it against the Seers lips. Aeletha began chugging the entire thing and at the end had a disgusted look on her face. ”I told you two drops! Ugh, disgusting. The worst tea I have ever had.”

She then moved her arms herself and began preparing another cup for herself under the shocked observation of her doctors who had already used a portable x-ray that showed just how bad of a condition her arms were just in.

”I don’t believe what I am seeing!” The head doctor spoke up as he x-rayed the Seer again. Her head injuries, her internal organs and her hands were healed in just one cup of tea? ”My Seer, why has this concoction not been made public? The good that can come from such a simple brewing process. Millions could be saved from life threatening injuries!”

Aeletha turned to the doctor and despite being blind, her face conveying an expression of ’are you serious?’ The fact she was blind and looked directly into the doctor’s own eyes as she did so was rather scary.

”There is a skull on this vial for a reason doctor, it’s not just to look cool. If you ingested it your entire immune system would begin violently attacking itself. You would be dead in minutes Not to mention the other things I had you add. You would be tripping until you croaked. I have Psionic energy coursing through my veins, and a lot of it. Not a lot of individuals in our Coalition can survive taking all of these ingredients into themselves.”

Aeletha then made herself another cup of tea with the same ingredients, only this time done properly. As she sat back and enjoyed the aroma, she then said. ”Ok, thank you all, you can leave now. I have no further use for you.”

The doctors hesitated a moment, before they began to silently leave the room, leaving only Aeletha and Rekosh left. ”Rekosh you should leave as well.” Aeletha said. ”But my Seer you-” Rekosh was quickly cut off.

”We have just barely survived a very intense battle, Rekosh. I was aware that you left my domain for a few days to fight as you knew I was truly safe. But that war was very mentally taxing. So many dead. A young, brave warrior you are, but keeping up your mental strength is just as important. Go and relax, or go and find a Female to relieve yourself. Just make sure your strength stays intact, perhaps a brothel would be best? The females there should know how to not produce their acid.”

Rekosh’s scales turned indigo upon his cheeks listening to his seer talk about Sex. ”I-uh-I think I will just return to my room and meditate on the battle my Seer.” He then bowed before running out of the room.

Once Rekosh had left the room, Aeletha placed down her new cup and just sat still for a moment. No sound was made from her body, but tears began leaking down from her eyes. She had failed. She had ascended to a realm of power she was still hundreds of thousands of years away from obtaining herself and still, she was unable to stop that... thing.

Aeletha quickly wiped her tears away, she had no need to get emotional right now. She had to prepare to rendezvous with her next defence in the next system over. She decided that that system was a total loss and would need to prepare even more troops for the coming war against the new, oddly behaving hunger.

First though, she took another sip of her tea. The drug she had placed inside had a numbing agent that would help with the pain of growing a new limb as her leg stump was already beginning to hurt more than when it came off.

Still, the process would take a couple of days, so she would be stuck in this room until then. Reaching into her top desk drawer. Aeletha retrieved her tactile data pad and began navigating through various pieces of information.

The war, now that it was being shown to the masses thanks to the war reporters, had caused a storm of fear and anger towards the hunger. Aeletha was glad for this outcome, for it meant that more individuals from across the galaxy would enlist. Her plan would continue to come to fruition.

As she thought of her plan, she just realised something. Her visions were once again branched off in two directions. The glory and the pleasure. This made little sense to her as somehow, she had found out the man in her vision was this Archon Apollo?

’But the man just walked into his death... How is?’ Her answer came in the form of a news headline titled. ’Destroyer of Bastion, Destroyed by mystery hero!’ The headline linked to a video of the late Qen reporter, Poll Lekenth, who in her final moments, recorded the mystery hero giving a beatdown to the sprawled out, seemingly dead, ’Destroyer.’

Aeletha was stunned as she watched the recording. She even switched to her Psionic sight in case her healed hands were playing tricks on her. And sure enough. There was Archon Apollo walking towards the colossus, the colossus walking backwards and just as Apollo jumps to the colossus’ head, his entire body gulfed in that Anti Psionic flame that left her in awe when she witnessed it first hand, the video cut out before recutting to him beating its dead body.

’It must have been mere minutes between the two recordings? How did he kill it when I could not? Was it simply that it was so weak to his anti-Psionic energy?’ Aeletha became enthralled with the video as she watched it over and over.

This human. This mystery individual whom had once been her enemy on a neutral world planet, had now saved her life? Had killed the thing that had put her on death’s door? Who’s very being has created a possible future for her?

Aeletha picked up her communication device and sent a work order directly to the top information gatherers, brokers. everything and everyone that dealt with information.

”Get me whatever information you can on A Spartari Archon named Apollo Lambdason. I will pay handsomely for even the most miniscule piece of information.”
