further back for you. When my father first allowed me on the planet almost two hundred years ago, I was to learn the ways of the people, infiltrate and destroy from within. His typical agenda when the planet is rich in resources, and he wants to use the inhabitants as slaves.”
    “My mother, my brother and I had other plans. I learned, and built my own empire behind his back. A business empire. One that employed all of those that were not loyal to my father. One by one, we smuggled the captives from other planets and hybrid Relian’s that were loyal to peace, and we brought them here.”
    “We gave them jobs and let them lead real lives again. And in order to protect those new lives, they would fight their own when they had to in order to protect it. At the time that was all we wanted. To live in peace. Away from the brutality of my father and those loyal to him.” Grai explained, trying to downplay what he had gone through over the years in order to build a normal life for them all.
    “I learned from my father, so I could set up his most loyal of followers and pretend that I had caught them in some act of treason that would make my father angry. It may seem cruel, but it served two purposes. It made my father believe that I was loyal, so he would give me more responsibility, and it eliminated another danger to our new lives here.”
    “The company I founded is Freedom Enterprises.” Grai said to the groans and muttered curses of Risk, Jax and Banatar.
    “I don’t understand.” Ivint said with confusion, looking to Risk and Jax for answers.
    “We’ve been doing business with them for over seventy years. In fact, we have always considered them to be loyal friends and allies. They always went out of their way to get us what we needed almost before we asked for it. They said it was because they had warehouses all over the country. Now I see it was because they were right next door to us.” Risk explained, his surprise clearly written on his face.
    “What kind of business?” Ivint asked, looking between Grai and Risk for an answer.
    “They think it is just Freedom Enterprises . However, through the legal expertise of my mate, and all the subsidiaries and shadow companies she’s helped us create; we actually provide your food, clothing, bedding, furniture, electronics, weapons and gear. Among other things. Each is a separate company that provides something different for you. And for our own people.”
    “We own farms where those who can’t or won’t fight against my father and Dagog, grow uncontaminated food for all of us, including all of your safe houses. Through our defense divisions, we create weapons and tactical gear to help keep us all alive. Not human gear, but gear that can save their lives in a fight with one of my father’s men.”
    “Specialized gear like your eye lens. Night vision is not the only thing it helps you see. We developed it, specifically so that your people can see the Dark Ones. For those of us who have beast bonded, our heightened senses allow us to see the light spectrum in which they are only visible. Your people and some of the other Relian captives we released were defenseless if ever faced with one. Show them Traze.” Grai said, looking to his brother.
    “ Gimme a sec… there!” Traze worked his fingers over the device Grai had given him earlier and within moments, another screen came up.
    It looked to be a view of a large empty room. There was nothing in it at all that could be seen. In fact, the only clue that something was not right was the inhuman growls and snarling that could be heard. And the blessing of protection uttered quietly by Viper.
    “Where did you find such an abomination?” Dread asked quietly, his eyes never leaving the screen.
    Gibly stood in the middle of the table, his fur standing on end, claws extended, his body shaking as he growled deeply at the screen. Ivint wondered what the hell they were seeing that he wasn’t.
    Without a word, Drew, Bree
