Chapter 7

Ray knew that he was going to have to talk to Nali before he did a single thing to the Queen’s daughter. Though he hadn’t realized it he was starting to love both of the beings that inhabited Elizabeth’s body. Shaking his head, he hadn’t notice that Miahally had been trying to gain his attention for the last few minutes.

[What? Ray thought to him.

I said, that though you think that returning her to that time when she was stronger might be best, it might also be dangerous, as a child she was also prone to tantrums when she was denied things; another reason why her mother had her publicly punished.] Miahally thought.

[Damn! You mean to tell me that she was that bad?] Ray asked.

[Oh yes, ] Miahally answered, [I fear that she might regress to that point and practically, efficiently wipe out almost all that are even mildly opposed to her.]

[Ok, ok, I get your point, but I still need to consult with someone before I even attempt this. One mistake and I could condemn this world to a rule worse than it has now.] Ray added. [Alright I’ll be back soon I have to talk to someone that may hold answers that I need.]

Miahally nodded, and then Ray was waking up, opening his eyes he saw the Elizabeth/Nali was sitting beside him. “We may have a solution to the problem of the ruler, but I’m not sure I can do it. I mean to change one thing in the mind is one thing but to create an almost complete personality..., “ Ray sighed.

Nali looked at Ray she could almost feel his pain, “Ray I don’t think you have to completely change her. Usually just a few of the bad thoughts is all that you need to change. At least from what I’ve seen that’s all you need, the only time a complete change is necessary, is when the personality was severely damaged. Ray I know you are unhappy to do this but for her sake and many of the people in and around their planet you are going to have to.”

Ray still had doubts, “I don’t know Nali I’ve never done anything this complicated.”

Lifting his face Nali/Elizabeth kissed him, “we both have confidence in you, remember love it will help guide you to what you need to do Ray. That’s all you have to remember, it worked on my planet it should there too.” Ray sat and thought about it hmmm she was partly right, it had taken a little more than that but it was mostly love, it had to be.

Laying down Ray was back on the Chorton’s planet almost as soon as his eyes were closed.

Miahally jumped, still not used to the way that Ray could just suddenly appear the way he did. <I’ve talked to them they assured me that the risk is more than worth the risk, especially if I can return her to the sweeter version she was before all the torture her mother did to her.> Ray said.

Sitting down they both started to discuss exactly how the princess was before the long torture and the punishments. Ray knew that he had his work cut out for his self that was for sure. Reaching out Ray tried to find the last of the Queen’s daughters, though not alone there did seem to be a type of defense near her. Reaching in he tried to change anything he could but the harder he tried it seemed the easier it was for her to resist. The closest he could do was to stimulate her pleasure centers.

Damn he thought! Looking at Miahally he thought, [I am going to have to be a lot closer and from what I can feel that is not going to be easy at all.]

Miahally was quiet for a moment then looked at at Ray. [There just might be a way, though I am afraid that you might have to kill a few of the guards if they see you.]

[I don’t think I can do that if they were trying to kill me yes, but just doing their job no I couldn’t do it.] Ray told Miahally.

[You think you could possibly do to all the guards, like you did those that came to my home?] he asked.

[You mean have them completely ignore me, like they don’t see me? Hmmm that idea holds a lot of merit though it would take time to reach all of them. All I can say at the moment is I can try, but if I have to get closer then it will depend on how long it takes. Also, how many I can handle at once if there are many there.] Ray told him

Miahally’s eyes took on a gleam a moment, [I will gather all the information for you, it will be good to feel useful again.]

[Miahally you have been more than useful to me without you I don’t feel that any of this would be or would have been possible.] Ray thought honestly to the Chorton.

Ray watched as the being moved off slowly, Ray just hoped that Miahally helping him now wouldn’t lead to his death. As much as Miahally had been through in his life it would be good for good things to start to happen to him and his people.

Ray wasn’t sure what he could do while he waited, he really didn’t know these people that good and the disguise he had didn’t really last that long, though he felt it was already stronger. Ray had waited for it felt like a few hours when Miahally appeared in the doorway.

<I think you should try to do some of them right now, the more you have ignore you the better you will have it, > he advised.

Nodding I followed him doing my best to stay in the shadows out of sight for as long as I could. Finally we were outside the same building I had been at before, though I could see that indeed the security of the place had been most definitely been increased.

I started with those at the door they had increased from five to ten, I had done ten before but wasn’t that sure now. As I delved in I saw that two of them had been to Miahally home and I had already affected their thoughts. Well that would make things easier, but the rest I had to do, starting I expected them to be far harder to change than they were.

I had almost finished when Miahally tapped me on the shoulder. [We have company, a patrol, this is a first; I have never seen patrols around the building. Hurry before we are caught.]

Finishing quickly we moved away from the wall, reaching out to the patrol I started to change them this time I found it a little harder. Each of the patrol were wearing a helmet a lot like that the queen had been wearing when he’d attempted to kill her the first time. Smiling Ray thought too little too late he was way beyond the helmets now. He was making fairly good progress when he hit a wall with the last patrol member.

[A Treg Trag? Here? It feels like ... NO! IT CAN”T BE. I will kill you Treg Trag for what you have done to the Queen! I also believe it was you that killed all the daughters!] The last one said.

[Oh shit, ] Ray thought to Miahally, [that last patrol member I can’t get past the helmet it appears to be different than the others.

Miahally looked then hissed, [that is the Queen’s head of the military, he will be extremely hard to change. [Treg Trag you have to try as hard as you can, he will be the one that can get you almost anywhere you need to go!]

Ray nodded as he began to push harder, changing his vibrations and energy he was finally through but the effort was exhausting, Ray managed to change the thinking of the military head to Ray being it’s best friend and being ignored by others was normal.

Barely just barely Ray managed to withdraw, looking at Miahally, Ray nodded yes, then wondered why he was looking at the sky just before the world went black. Miahally looked at Ray, what a brave soul the Chorton thought. I have to move him ‘til he awakens; I just hope that we can get to my domicile before we are noticed by anyone other than the guards he has affected. Miahally had finally gotten Ray to where he lived there had been a few scary moments, but he’d managed.

[Miahally!] came the voice thoughts of his young neighbor.

[Not now!] Miahally thought. [I can’t right now, I am in the middle of something, ] he answered her.

[I can help, ] she said starting to advance on him. He didn’t want to kill her, but he would if he had to, the Treg Trag had to remain safe!

Thinking as quickly as he could Miahally answered, [I’d rather you didn’t I am removing waste from my home and it is embarrassing, could you come back later? We might even be able to discuss that mating you wanted.]
