Cael attempted to make his four blue arms hang naturally at his sides and
not fidget.
He was doing a terrible job.
Even his tail was giving away his irritation as it swished back and forth
along the ground. His arms itched. That was the problem. He didn’t have
enough time to find a reputable skin modifier to alter the family tattoos
adorning his body. The first modifier he found worked from a sketchy
planet skimmer parked in the back alley of a spice den. Not the type of
place a prince should hang out.
But Cael never asked to be a prince.
That’s the excuse he used with his father during their many arguments.
When the king accused him of not taking his duties seriously, Cael accused
him of wanting to rule every second of his life like some whip-bearing
taskmaster on an off-planet mining colony. Of course, Cael never wanted to
be a prince when it came to dealing with boring bureaucratic meetings or
learning how to deal with matters of state. But he was all too happy to be
the Prince of Zyranth when it allowed unfettered access to adventures and
pleasures throughout the known galaxy. Games of chance, women, and
wine filled his cup nearly as fast as his inheritance spilled from his pockets.
He was more than happy to be the prince then.
But now, here he was, boarding a slaver ship with other Zyranthian
recruits, muttering a prayer to the Seven Goddesses and hoping none of
them recognized him. With his family tattoos altered so no one would
suspect he was the son of the recently deceased king, he could only hope
the body modifications and the fact he was boarding a class-D ship filled
with former military soldiers would be enough to hide his identity. He was
counting on this plan to work his way back to the royal throne—a throne
denied to him as the rightful heir and claimed by his uncle. A throne and a
role he thought he didn’t want until it was taken from him.
A whoosh of pressurized air filled the thrust pod as the shuttle’s door
opened between it and the attached larger frigate. The nine guards he
arrived with stood and lined up to board the new ship—home for the next
few weeks as they guarded a load of cargo. Cael still didn’t know what
merchandise they were protecting, but judging from the large number of
recruits, it must be something important.
“Clan?” inquired a guard from the frigate as he approached the door.
Cael hesitated a moment, looking closer to see if the guard recognized
him, but only a swish of his tail and a brief look of annoyance flashed
across the guard’s face at the prince’s delayed answer.
“Ó-Mordha,” Cael responded, giving him the name of a large common
clan which, while technically wasn’t his family name, housed some distant
relatives and made it close enough to the truth.
The guard glanced down at his roster looking for the clan listed there.
“Name?”
