Blood and Profit: Chapter 40

With his sister found, Eamon turned back toward his ship. "Let's go, I can't guarantee the council is smart enough to realize attacking the forest is the stupidest course of action." 

Mew stayed where she was. "And the second stupidest is thinking that we can just walk away from this situation. I may have crashed but you came Willingly." 

Her point made Eamon turn back around. "This situation calls for more experience than either of us have." He said.

She nodded. "Entirely true. But until the rest of the planet makes up their mind, I'm not abandoning the Starseeds, not now."

Eamon pointed at the still silent line of Starseeds that had greeted him. "What could they possibly have done to earn your trust and loyalty this quickly?" He asked skeptically.

Mew looked annoyed. "You mean other than not kill me, bring me to you, and let us go freely after the one aboard my shuttle died? Nothing more than diverting from their journey to save this entire planet." She answered.

Eamon was frustrated now. "Save us from what Mew?" He almost yelled.

Mew shook her head. "It's very hard to describe," She started as the nearest Starseed in the greeting line moved forward to stand next to Mew. "Much easier to see it for yourself." She said as the Starseed reached out a limb of branches and vines with one tendril extending further than the rest which touched Eamon right between the eyes, which instantly clouded over as the rest of his face went slack.
