Oh My...
********* Reginleif *********
The past month and a half had been most exciting for those of us who came
along to live with Haakon and his father on his home world. I had asked
Brenden a second time weather or not he was going to come with us, but he
admamantly refused stating he wanted to remain on Earth always. I miss him
but he is a grown man and made his choice. One of the 'gifts' we were all
given was a bit of genetic alteration. Nothing drastic, just extending our
life expectancy to match theirs. This also resulted in de-aging me back to
my early 20's in apperance and I was informed I'd not degrade past this age
...ever, WAY FREAKIN COOL! Gone was my arthritis and other long standing
physical problems I had inccured in my childhood thanks to their advanced
medical techniques. They also enhanced our ablility to withstand their
extream gravity as it was 25 times Earths own. Most of my recent time had
been spent studying books on Saiyajin culture as well as actually learning
their language. Frigga and Haakon spent most of their time teaming up and
'terrorizing' the crew. Freya however had had her time filled with the
attention of a certian long haired warrior that NOT to our surprise was named
Raditz. Mr. Toriyama would likely have gone nuts to know how damn close he
was on the mark. Though of course the names the real Saiyajin's had were NOT
the names of vegetables. I had learned quite abit about what their names
ment by speaking with the two ladies who were part of the crew. Azure
reminded me a bit of Bulma but I thought a LOT more intelegent, was nicer,
and stronger looking. Metil was a delicate looking lady, but when I saw her
and Azure sparring I realized looks were DEFINITELY deceiving that little
delicate lady could kick some serious butt. Kak's name simply ment
"Warrior", Raditz's name ment "Mighty", Haakon's father King Vegeta's name
ment "Ruling Dragon" to name a few. When King Vegeta had learned what
Haakon's name ment he opted to keep it for family use and use the traditional
name Vegeta as Haakon's public name. That was fine with the both of us since
Haakon nearly had a fit when he was told his original name WAS Vegeta. "It's
okay for Papa to have that name, but I'M HAAKON!" He told me privately. I
have grown rather fond of the crew of this vessle in the month and a half
we've been traveling. As they were rather friendly once you got to know
them. Of course it did help that I was the "official" mother of their crown
prince and they didn't want to do anything that would upset or hurt me least
their prince be displeased. Some how though I think we would have gotten
along just fine even if that were not the case. At least I got that
impression from Kak, he and Azure were the two most gregarious of the lot
along with the twins Kale and Brock. Azure was type that just liked to talk,
answering was optional. She was a brilliant young lady though I had to admit
and I found "most" of her talk rather interesting. Brock was an odd fellow
his voice was always a deep monotone that gave virtually no emotion what so
ever. This I found out was due to a speech impairment. He could be telling
a hilarious off coloured joke and deliver it with no emotion. AND THAT'S
WHAT MADE IT EVEN MORE HILARIOUS. He knew it too as he did his best 'smile'
that he could since he also was born missing a few facial muscles which left
him virtually expressionless. His expressive eyes though always sparkled
with mirth when he "smiled". His fraternal twin Kale on the other hand was
extreamly expressive and it seemed he show enough emotion for the both of
them. He too had a wry sense of humor often using Brock as the "straight
man" for the set up of a funny joke. Kak was the REAL comedian of the group
though. Often getting the whole lot of us roaring in laughter. Especially
note worthy was his tale (ugh pun..you'll see) about when he, Kak had eaten a
BUNCH of cheese on purpose. WHY??? Well because most cheeses give Saiyajins
REALLY BADDDDD GASSSSS, and Kak wanted to try his new "blue flame attack."
It was a fiasco if you ask me. He ended up burning off most of his tail fur
which luckly grew back. Oddly he said that wasn't so bad. "I wore my bald
tail high for I was now part of the 'Blue Flame Brigade'(:þ)." What is it
with guys and trying to light their farts I just don't know.
It was Kak though who sersiously said I had a openess that made me just a
non-threatening individual. Very easy to approach and open up to. He said
that was virtually a non-exstistant trait on his world. He added it would be
difficult for anyone on his world not to "like" me as such rare things are
always well received. I have never been to accept compliments or praises so
I blushed at his comment. It was most kind of him to say such a thing to me
and I appreciated it. Raditz I have become the most familiar with as he was
around Freya a lot. His attraction to her was obvious and I had also learned
his personality had stabilized drastictly since she came into his life. This
was well received amoung the crew who were, I understand, always on gaurd
around their friend and commarad least he start into what Kak called one of
his "rages". Freya it seemed had a calming effect on the otherwise unstable
man. One would think I'd be worried that my step-daughter should be with
such a individual. But it was very obvious they were "ment" for eachother.
He told me himself that he desired Freya for his mate as she gave him the one
thing he had never felt in his entire, tormented life... "peace with-in". He
was willing to give all of himself to her as his mate were she but to agree.
Freya's attraction to him was mutual. She too felt began to feel "balanced"
inside since they met. Only her feelings of uncertainty barred the way, but
I felt it would not be too much longer before she concede to be his mate for
life. He was currently teaching her and Haakon Saiyajin fighting techniques.
This is where I was heading at this time as it was nearing lunch. Haakon
absoulutely did not like some of the Saiyajin cusine. Mainly due to the fact
that he was just use to my cooking. So I still prepared most of his and the
girls meals. I didn't mind, I like being of use and I LOVE TO COOK (^.^).
It seemed my cooking technique was also a favourite of the rest of the crew
as I had to slap more than one hungry pilfering hand from the cook pot(;þ).
The hairs on the back of my neck went up as I felt the Ki of the one person I
admit I have been purposely avoiding, Haakon's father. It wasn't that I
didn't like him or anything it's just...well...he's a king. The only time
that I was in his presence for any length of time or held any kind of
extensive conversation with him was our first night on the shuttle when I
relayed to him how Haakon had come to us, complete with the mental image I
allowed him to veiw of how he looked when I had first found him. His outrage
at his present mates treachery was all too apparent and quite understandible.
I never felt so terrified as his very ki flaired crimson around him in his
rage. I wanted to get the hell out of there, fortunately he excused him
self and left instead. I had learned that his present 'mate' was slated to
be executed for what she did to Haakon and other crimes. I tell you as far
as what she did to my Haakon the bitch (no insults intended to any she
canines) deserved what she would get. As I understood it King Vegeta wanted
to 'show' her that she failed her attempt to kill his son before killing her
himself. From what I read of Saiyajin culture this was extream for a mate to
hurt or kill their mate. The very fact of her UN-mately attitude twards him
that virtually nullified any bond that would have normally formed between
them otherwise. It was as if they had never been mated is how I understood
it. I knew King Vegeta was sincerely and deeply grateful for all the love
and care I've given his son. But I felt it was... beneath him to really
associate with the likes of me. Few truly knew of my childhood, that I was
born a bastard from my incestuous father and helpless big sister/mother. But
though it was his indiscretion it was I who was the evil thing. My blood
mother ran away when I was but 18 months of age, leaving me to my fate.
From the age of 4 my father used me for himself as well as renting me to
others for drugs or money. My grand-mother took it on herself to degrade me
further buy telling me repeatedly and daily how usuless and worthless I was.
That shit was better than me and I would always be nothing but a worthless
whore. She would often re-enforce such 'speeches' with beatings that left
more than a few scars on my body as well as my soul. After almost 18 years
of abuse I ran away from home, never looking back and struggling to regain my
selfesteem ever since. I knew that I could not help how I was born or that I
was too little and weak to even try to fight back. But still so much
conditioning and abuse is slow to heal. It was my understanding that few of
my fellow 'survivors' to such trama live to my age, most suicideing before
then. It had been since the time Haakon had come to me that I finally healed
past the suicide attempts and hadn't thought of it much since let alone try.
Kirkjbur was so very pleased with that quantum leap in my healing process. I
think thats why he sort of 'favoured' Haakon. It was Kirkjbur who saw no
shame or felt I was not something 'dirty' or used. He loved me for who I was
and wanted to help me to heal from the pain of my past. I had loved and
treasured Kirkjbur, he was my first and ONLY love. He always treated me as
the most precious thing in his life. But Kirkjbur was a poor man who lived
simply and was looking for a woman who he could love and cherish who would
love and cherish him in return. Not a great king of a far away alien planet.
Especially as he was a wonderful example of manhood. All Saiyajin males
seemed well put together. But King Vegeta was exceptional, so well balanced
physically not to mention drop dead handsome, a true king. Such a man
deserved a woman of equal quality and that was not me. I did not want King
Vegeta to feel obligated to associating with me just because I took care of
Haakon. That was my pleasure and I was content to be in the backround being
Haakon's mother till the time came he'd no longer need me. Then... I guess
I'd go to Chikyuu. Azure had told me so much about it that it seemed a nice
alternative to Earth. He was getting closer, he was likely heading towards
the bridge which was quite a bit further up from where I was heading. But
the halls intersected and there were no door ways for me to duck into(Ô.Ô).
Perhaps he would just ignore me (-.-¡).
********* King Vegeta *********
The past six weeks have been full of excitment and discovery. My
relationship and bond with my son grew stronger daily and this pleased me to
no end. His 'sister' Frigga was almost always with him and she too was
warming well to me, this pleased me more. The more I knew this girl the more
I wanted to claim her as my own daughter if I could but convince her mother
to be my "true" mate. Freya the eldest was still very stiff and formal with
me, likely still intimidated by my station. I had hoped she'd be more
familiar with me as I found her quite a interesting young lady. But this had
not been as productive six weeks as I had hoped. As Reginleif, the one I
wanted to familiarize myself with as much as my son, was the most elusive of
my new charges. It seemed she always managed to be out of the room or
otherwise un-reachable. It was like trying to catch the wind, she was always
moving. The ONLY time that I had her in my presence for any length of time
was when she first came aboard my vessel. She relayed to me as how my son
had come into her life. She even allowed me to view from her memory the very
image of what that rancid female who was once my mate had done to MY SON. I
could not control my rage at Arteesia for having inflicted such damage on her
own blood child....MY CHILD! She was not a Saiyajin... she was a monster in
the form of a Saiyajin. I would kill this monster who killed children
myself, as she was no mate to me. It was all too apparent that she never
completely bonded with me. Only enough to fool me till she could get what
she wanted to truly bond with...the throne and be queen. WELL...she will not
have her way and if I have my way my son's TRUE mother, the enchanting
Reginleif will sit at my side as my mate and queen. Yes she had a way with
my crew. She was such an open individual ready to listen and care about who
ever would go to her. I had already known of her astounding healing ability
along with her other numerous talents psychic and magical from my son. But
for all that power she treated each person she met as an equal and they did
open to her in ways I have never seen. The "light" yes that was it, her
light that she brought aboard this vessle had the entire crew at ease,
working at peak effciency. She radiated this warmth that encouraged all who
were near her. They spoke to her knowing she'd neither condem nor judge,
only accept. She was the IDEAL queen for my people. One that could be
approached that I could learn from her what it was my people needed so I
could be a even greater king and lead them well. I had often wondered if it
was the rage I had felt towards Arteesia and her treachery that had
frightened the sensitive woman so. I had cursed myself time and time again
about this. The smell of her terror at my rage filled the room so that I
became aware and excused myself so as not to frighten her further. I did not
want her to fear me in the least and I knew not how to approach her as I knew
so little of her. My son had also told me along with all her wonderful
attributes and odd quirks that she had also suffered a deep and terrible pain
in her heart because of something that took place in her childhood at the
hands of her family. He said it made her sad inside and some times hate her
self. I would need speak to Freya about this soon, perhaps she could shead
more light about this. As I came to the junction that led to either the
sparring rooms or bridge I caught Reginleif's sweet alluring scent. I
checked to see if her ki was near... I smiled, she was just a head. I could
not believe my luck at last I could speak to her. With in moments she came
into view. She droped her direct gaze from me and bowed eloquently "Your
Majesty." She said by way of greeting. "Ah, Reginleif how fortunate that I
happened upon you." I replied with sincere warmness. She blushed slightly.
"I was just on my way to fetch Haakon and Freya for lunch, Frigga is already
eating." She informed me. I knew that she was trying to be evasive but I
was not going to allow it. "Then I shall be breif, I should like to have you
join me for the evening meal." I told her. "In fact I insist you join me."
I added, not allowing her anyway to refuse. Her face flushed warmly at my
insistance though I smelled the distinct smell of fear slightly as well.
Damn that I blew up in her presence that one time. "As you wish your
Majesty, I shall come along with Haakon." She replied in that low suductive
voice while bowing slightly. "My son has already told me at first meal today
that he would be dinning with his sisters and the rest of the crew in the
galley this time, it shall be only you and I." I told her. She looked
rather shocked at the news. "Y-yes your Majesty." She replied with yet
another bow. I hated that she was acting so stiff and formal. I would
definitely have to speak to Freya before to-night's meal to learn what I
could, so I may know how to approach Reginleif in such a way she'd be at
ease. "Very good, I shall send Azure to summon you to my dinning area when
it is time." I told her. "And do have Freya come to me on the bridge after
she has her mid-meal." I requested. "Yes, your Majesty." She answered as
she bowed then glided away from me. I watched as she left the way, her hips
swayed in such a manner it was like a graceful prowl. MMMMM, what an
enticeing female she was and she was not even aware of her great appeal. Not
only to myself but to almost every un-mated male on this vessle she was VERY
desireable. As she disappeared into one of the sparring rooms I continued on
my way to the bridge. Tonight would hopefully go well.
********* Reginleif *********
Shit!, crap!, poop!(A/N: Is that what you call REALLY BAD TASTING RICE
CRISPIES? XÞ)....NOT GOOD! I thought to myself as I walked away after my
brief but entraping encouter with King Vegeta. He INSISTED I join him for
supper.....ALONE!!!!! (¤.¤¡ EEEEEEEEEEEE!). I could feel his gaze on me as I
walked away too. I was very glad to finally reach the sparring room where
Raditz was sparring against both Haakon and Freya at the same time. "Damn
he's a good fighter." I muttered to myself as I watched for a bit. It was
Haakon who noticed me first. "LUNCH!" He chimed happily as he dodged a punch
kick combination from Raditz. That seemed to signal everyone to stop
sparring. "Your both improving well, perhaps later we'll work on ki
control." Raditz told the pair. "Sure." Haakon agreed happily. "The Gods
know I need the practice, so I'm in too." Freya replied. "Then I shall see
you two later, your highness." He stated as he bowed to Haakon before
leaving. After they took a quick shower they followed me back to the dinning
area. "Oh Freya, King Vegeta would like to see you on the bridge after you
eat." I told her as we walked. "Me?" "Did he mention what for?" She asked
worriedly. "I am affraid not sweetie." I replied with a shrug while shaking
my head. Frigga had already finished eating but was waiting for the rest of
us to arrive. "Bout time you got here your highness." Frigga said
sarcasticly. "Better not of eaten everything girl." He replied in kind.
"ANNND you forgot to bow." He added as he sat down. "Oh, and so did we all
your highness." I said innocently as I placed his food before him then bowed
my head while doing my best curtsie. I looked up at Haakon who was totally
red with embarassment at my actions. "Don't do that Mamma I was only playing
with Frigga, she IS my sister...geeez." He canted. "Okay baby, no
problem." I said with a smile, then sat down to eat. "Is something bothering
you Reginleif?" Freya asked me after a few minutes. "*Sigh* I guess I'm
nervous about having supper with King Vegeta tonight." I replied. Haakon's
eyes went wide while he smiled one if those full toothy grins of his. (Ô.Ô)
"Yeah?, That's great cause Freya, Frigga, and me are going to eat with the
rest of the crew in the galley tonight." "They always do silly stuff that
makes me laugh." Haakon said excitedly. "You'll like Papa Mamma, I know he
already likes you." He added. "Haakon!" Freya said sharply. I cleared my
throat and felt my cheeks grow very warm. "What?" "She's my Mamma and he's
my Papa so why can't she like him and even be his mate?" He demanded of
Freya. I held up my hand to forstall Freya's reply and answered him myself.
I looked into his onyx eyes. "Haakon I do like your father, I just don't
think I would be a suitable mate for him." I said gentily. (õ.õ) His brows
furrowed in confusion, I knew he didn't know my reason and I didn't want him
to try to grasp it now at his present age. He looked away and started
stairing at his plate for a couple of minutes. He then turned back and
locked his eye's with mine his expression so serious. ^He thinks you'd be a
perfect mate for him Mamma, he told me so.^ He sent so I'd know he wasn't
'making it up'. I felt rather light headed and dizzy for a moment. "Oh
my..." Is what I remembered saying just before passing out.
********* King Vegeta *********
I had just finished contacting my cousin who was currently serving as steward
in my absence. This gave him all my athority so as to keep Arteesia from
attempting to take advangtage of my absence, as well as Lord Freeza. He was
just as elated as I over the recovery of my son and was anticipating our
arrival in a month and a half. He was also pleased I had managed to convince
the majority of his foster family to come along as well. At that moment
young Freya entered the bridge area. "Ah, Freya I am glad you are here." I
greeted. "Reginleif said you wanted to speak to me your majesty?" She asked
with nervousness as she bowed. "Yes, but in private if you will follow me."
I said as I stood and beckoned her. She looked quite apprehensive but
followed. "I shall be in my ready room." I said to all on the bridge as I
entered with Freya close behind. I sat down in my chair behind my desk
gesturing her to sit in one accross from me. I waited for her to settle
before I spoke. "Freya what I am going to ask you is personal." "It is
about Reginleif." I began. She looked up at me, her head cocked to one
side, eyes wide. "Reginleif?" She said questioningly. I nodded. "Indeed,
my son has told me that Reginleif had suffered great pain from her family as
a child." "I need to know if you can tell me WHAT it was they did to her and
why it affects her so deeply?" I asked. She bit on her lip slightly as she
seemed to contemplate my request. "May I ask why you want to know your
majesty?" She queried. "I will not go into detail save I wish to understand
her better." I replied. She sighed then spoke "Alright, I'll tell you what
I do know." She stated. As she relayed to me of horrors that Reginleif had
endured my rage at the injustice done to her grew as much as it had with my
outrage at my sons abuse. How pathetic that a grown man would blame a child
for HIS wrong, torture, and punish her thusly. If I were able to this very
moment I would destroy the old bastard and all those who wronged her. I
excused Freya whom was becoming quite un-nerved at my current state. So now
I understood WHY she was so submissive. They literally beat it into her to
act the way she does to those perceived as superiour. From what Freya had
told me she would even consider excreta more superiour than she. She could
not see how very brave and strong she was to have SURVIVED such an
nighgtmarish existance. Now I also understood the bond she had with her
former mate as well, and why such a old male had gotten such a lovely jewel
as she. From what my son had told me of his foster father he was a man both
open and strong. He was fiercely independent and a good provider for them
all. But Haakon had also told me of when his mother would start hurting
inside, saying mean things about herself, and felt weak his daddy would give
her his strength and love till she recovered her own. Then she was happy
again for a while. He obviously saw what I did in her and was more than
willing to boslter her when her emotional trauma would resurfaced helping her
feel safe till she could overcome the attack with that indomitable spirit and
will of hers. I understood more about such traumas more than most would
think a Saiyajin would. Mental illness is rare, there being only two known
cases on my world. The first was Raditz, which now with Freya hopfully he
would recover. The other was my main communications officer Psargus.
Saiyajins do not handle the gift of prophecy well. Only Bardock seemed to
have the fortitude not to go mad as Psargus had. Though Bardock had only a
single repeating vision Psargus was plagued with many. Admittedly he was
still useful and loyal but in his maddness his propehcies came by way of his
'rice' or the 'dust bunnies' telling him. I hate his dust bunnies and
rice....there always right and it's usually bad news...for us. Fortunatly
Reginleif was not mad, badly wounded to be certian and needed someone strong
to help her, making her feel safe when her great inner strength lagged. This
was well for me for I was more than willing to give her this. Lights such as
hers were rare and always essential and had to be protected at all costs.
Those bastards that had claimed to be her family tried to corrupt that inner
light of her's but she remaind strong and uncorruptible inspite of her
hellish existance. Even now her inner pain and struggles would challange the
stoutest of hearts she still maintained herself and cared for all those she
touched. I was determined now show her her light so that she may know the
treasure she was that they tried to bury so long ago.

The past month and a half had been most exciting for those of us who came
along to live with Haakon and his father on his home world. I had asked

such a individual. But it was very obvious they were "ment" for eachother.
He told me himself that he desired Freya for his mate as she gave him the one
thing he had never felt in his entire, tormented life... "peace with-in". He
was willing to give all of himself to her as his mate were she but to agree.
Freya's attraction to him was mutual. She too felt began to feel "balanced"
inside since they met. Only her feelings of uncertainty barred the way, but
I felt it would not be too much longer before she concede to be his mate for
life. He was currently teaching her and Haakon Saiyajin fighting techniques.
This is where I was heading at this time as it was nearing lunch. Haakon
absoulutely did not like some of the Saiyajin cusine. Mainly due to the fact
that he was just use to my cooking. So I still prepared most of his and the
girls meals. I didn't mind, I like being of use and I LOVE TO COOK (^.^).
It seemed my cooking technique was also a favourite of the rest of the crew
as I had to slap more than one hungry pilfering hand from the cook pot(;þ).
The hairs on the back of my neck went up as I felt the Ki of the one person I
admit I have been purposely avoiding, Haakon's father. It wasn't that I
didn't like him or anything it's just...well...he's a king. The only time
that I was in his presence for any length of time or held any kind of
extensive conversation with him was our first night on the shuttle when I
relayed to him how Haakon had come to us, complete with the mental image I
allowed him to veiw of how he looked when I had first found him. His outrage
at his present mates treachery was all too apparent and quite understandible.
I never felt so terrified as his very ki flaired crimson around him in his
rage. I wanted to get the hell out of there, fortunately he excused him
self and left instead. I had learned that his present 'mate' was slated to
be executed for what she did to Haakon and other crimes. I tell you as far
as what she did to my Haakon the bitch (no insults intended to any she
canines) deserved what she would get. As I understood it King Vegeta wanted
to 'show' her that she failed her attempt to kill his son before killing her
himself. From what I read of Saiyajin culture this was extream for a mate to
hurt or kill their mate. The very fact of her UN-mately attitude twards him
that virtually nullified any bond that would have normally formed between
them otherwise. It was as if they had never been mated is how I understood
it. I knew King Vegeta was sincerely and deeply grateful for all the love
and care I've given his son. But I felt it was... beneath him to really
associate with the likes of me. Few truly knew of my childhood, that I was
born a bastard from my incestuous father and helpless big sister/mother. But
though it was his indiscretion it was I who was the evil thing. My blood
mother ran away when I was but 18 months of age, leaving me to my fate.
From the age of 4 my father used me for himself as well as renting me to
others for drugs or money. My grand-mother took it on herself to degrade me
further buy telling me repeatedly and daily how usuless and worthless I was.
That shit was better than me and I would always be nothing but a worthless
whore. She would often re-enforce such 'speeches' with beatings that left
more than a few scars on my body as well as my soul. After almost 18 years
of abuse I ran away from home, never looking back and struggling to regain my
selfesteem ever since. I knew that I could not help how I was born or that I
was too little and weak to even try to fight back. But still so much
conditioning and abuse is slow to heal. It was my understanding that few of
my fellow 'survivors' to such trama live to my age, most suicideing before
then. It had been since the time Haakon had come to me that I finally healed
past the suicide attempts and hadn't thought of it much since let alone try.
Kirkjbur was so very pleased with that quantum leap in my healing process. I
think thats why he sort of 'favoured' Haakon. It was Kirkjbur who saw no
shame or felt I was not something 'dirty' or used. He loved me for who I was
and wanted to help me to heal from the pain of my past. I had loved and
treasured Kirkjbur, he was my first and ONLY love. He always treated me as
the most precious thing in his life. But Kirkjbur was a poor man who lived
simply and was looking for a woman who he could love and cherish who would
love and cherish him in return. Not a great king of a far away alien planet.
Especially as he was a wonderful example of manhood. All Saiyajin males
seemed well put together. But King Vegeta was exceptional, so well balanced
physically not to mention drop dead handsome, a true king. Such a man
deserved a woman of equal quality and that was not me. I did not want King
Vegeta to feel obligated to associating with me just because I took care of
Haakon. That was my pleasure and I was content to be in the backround being
Haakon's mother till the time came he'd no longer need me. Then... I guess
I'd go to Chikyuu. Azure had told me so much about it that it seemed a nice
alternative to Earth. He was getting closer, he was likely heading towards
the bridge which was quite a bit further up from where I was heading. But
the halls intersected and there were no door ways for me to duck into(Ô.Ô).
Perhaps he would just ignore me (-.-¡).
********* King Vegeta *********
The past six weeks have been full of excitment and discovery. My
relationship and bond with my son grew stronger daily and this pleased me to
no end. His 'sister' Frigga was almost always with him and she too was
warming well to me, this pleased me more. The more I knew this girl the more
I wanted to claim her as my own daughter if I could but convince her mother
to be my "true" mate. Freya the eldest was still very stiff and formal with
me, likely still intimidated by my station. I had hoped she'd be more
familiar with me as I found her quite a interesting young lady. But this had
not been as productive six weeks as I had hoped. As Reginleif, the one I
wanted to familiarize myself with as much as my son, was the most elusive of
my new charges. It seemed she always managed to be out of the room or
otherwise un-reachable. It was like trying to catch the wind, she was always
moving. The ONLY time that I had her in my presence for any length of time
was when she first came aboard my vessel. She relayed to me as how my son
had come into her life. She even allowed me to view from her memory the very
image of what that rancid female who was once my mate had done to MY SON. I
could not control my rage at Arteesia for having inflicted such damage on her
own blood child....MY CHILD! She was not a Saiyajin... she was a monster in
the form of a Saiyajin. I would kill this monster who killed children
myself, as she was no mate to me. It was all too apparent that she never
completely bonded with me. Only enough to fool me till she could get what
she wanted to truly bond with...the throne and be queen. WELL...she will not
have her way and if I have my way my son's TRUE mother, the enchanting
Reginleif will sit at my side as my mate and queen. Yes she had a way with
my crew. She was such an open individual ready to listen and care about who
ever would go to her. I had already known of her astounding healing ability
along with her other numerous talents psychic and magical from my son. But
for all that power she treated each person she met as an equal and they did
open to her in ways I have never seen. The "light" yes that was it, her
light that she brought aboard this vessle had the entire crew at ease,
working at peak effciency. She radiated this warmth that encouraged all who
were near her. They spoke to her knowing she'd neither condem nor judge,
only accept. She was the IDEAL queen for my people. One that could be
approached that I could learn from her what it was my people needed so I
could be a even greater king and lead them well. I had often wondered if it
was the rage I had felt towards Arteesia and her treachery that had
frightened the sensitive woman so. I had cursed myself time and time again
about this. The smell of her terror at my rage filled the room so that I
became aware and excused myself so as not to frighten her further. I did not
want her to fear me in the least and I knew not how to approach her as I knew
so little of her. My son had also told me along with all her wonderful
attributes and odd quirks that she had also suffered a deep and terrible pain
in her heart because of something that took place in her childhood at the
hands of her family. He said it made her sad inside and some times hate her
self. I would need speak to Freya about this soon, perhaps she could shead
more light about this. As I came to the junction that led to either the
sparring rooms or bridge I caught Reginleif's sweet alluring scent. I
checked to see if her ki was near... I smiled, she was just a head. I could
not believe my luck at last I could speak to her. With in moments she came
into view. She droped her direct gaze from me and bowed eloquently "Your
Majesty." She said by way of greeting. "Ah, Reginleif how fortunate that I
happened upon you." I replied with sincere warmness. She blushed slightly.
"I was just on my way to fetch Haakon and Freya for lunch, Frigga is already
eating." She informed me. I knew that she was trying to be evasive but I
was not going to allow it. "Then I shall be breif, I should like to have you
join me for the evening meal." I told her. "In fact I insist you join me."
I added, not allowing her anyway to refuse. Her face flushed warmly at my
insistance though I smelled the distinct smell of fear slightly as well.
Damn that I blew up in her presence that one time. "As you wish your
Majesty, I shall come along with Haakon." She replied in that low suductive
voice while bowing slightly. "My son has already told me at first meal today
that he would be dinning with his sisters and the rest of the crew in the
galley this time, it shall be only you and I." I told her. She looked
rather shocked at the news. "Y-yes your Majesty." She replied with yet
another bow. I hated that she was acting so stiff and formal. I would
definitely have to speak to Freya before to-night's meal to learn what I
could, so I may know how to approach Reginleif in such a way she'd be at
ease. "Very good, I shall send Azure to summon you to my dinning area when
it is time." I told her. "And do have Freya come to me on the bridge after
she has her mid-meal." I requested. "Yes, your Majesty." She answered as
she bowed then glided away from me. I watched as she left the way, her hips
swayed in such a manner it was like a graceful prowl. MMMMM, what an
enticeing female she was and she was not even aware of her great appeal. Not
only to myself but to almost every un-mated male on this vessle she was VERY
desireable. As she disappeared into one of the sparring rooms I continued on
my way to the bridge. Tonight would hopefully go well.
********* Reginleif *********
Shit!, crap!, poop!(A/N: Is that what you call REALLY BAD TASTING RICE
CRISPIES? XÞ)....NOT GOOD! I thought to myself as I walked away after my
brief but entraping encouter with King Vegeta. He INSISTED I join him for
supper.....ALONE!!!!! (¤.¤¡ EEEEEEEEEEEE!). I could feel his gaze on me as I
walked away too. I was very glad to finally reach the sparring room where
Raditz was sparring against both Haakon and Freya at the same time. "Damn
he's a good fighter." I muttered to myself as I watched for a bit. It was
Haakon who noticed me first. "LUNCH!" He chimed happily as he dodged a punch
kick combination from Raditz. That seemed to signal everyone to stop
sparring. "Your both improving well, perhaps later we'll work on ki
control." Raditz told the pair. "Sure." Haakon agreed happily. "The Gods
know I need the practice, so I'm in too." Freya replied. "Then I shall see
you two later, your highness." He stated as he bowed to Haakon before
leaving. After they took a quick shower they followed me back to the dinning
area. "Oh Freya, King Vegeta would like to see you on the bridge after you
eat." I told her as we walked. "Me?" "Did he mention what for?" She asked
worriedly. "I am affraid not sweetie." I replied with a shrug while shaking
my head. Frigga had already finished eating but was waiting for the rest of
us to arrive. "Bout time you got here your highness." Frigga said
sarcasticly. "Better not of eaten everything girl." He replied in kind.
"ANNND you forgot to bow." He added as he sat down. "Oh, and so did we all
your highness." I said innocently as I placed his food before him then bowed
my head while doing my best curtsie. I looked up at Haakon who was totally
red with embarassment at my actions. "Don't do that Mamma I was only playing
with Frigga, she IS my sister...geeez." He canted. "Okay baby, no
problem." I said with a smile, then sat down to eat. "Is something bothering
you Reginleif?" Freya asked me after a few minutes. "*Sigh* I guess I'm
nervous about having supper with King Vegeta tonight." I replied. Haakon's
eyes went wide while he smiled one if those full toothy grins of his. (Ô.Ô)
"Yeah?, That's great cause Freya, Frigga, and me are going to eat with the
rest of the crew in the galley tonight." "They always do silly stuff that
makes me laugh." Haakon said excitedly. "You'll like Papa Mamma, I know he
already likes you." He added. "Haakon!" Freya said sharply. I cleared my
throat and felt my cheeks grow very warm. "What?" "She's my Mamma and he's
my Papa so why can't she like him and even be his mate?" He demanded of
Freya. I held up my hand to forstall Freya's reply and answered him myself.
I looked into his onyx eyes. "Haakon I do like your father, I just don't
think I would be a suitable mate for him." I said gentily. (õ.õ) His brows
furrowed in confusion, I knew he didn't know my reason and I didn't want him
to try to grasp it now at his present age. He looked away and started
stairing at his plate for a couple of minutes. He then turned back and
locked his eye's with mine his expression so serious. ^He thinks you'd be a
perfect mate for him Mamma, he told me so.^ He sent so I'd know he wasn't
'making it up'. I felt rather light headed and dizzy for a moment. "Oh
my..." Is what I remembered saying just before passing out.
********* King Vegeta *********
I had just finished contacting my cousin who was currently serving as steward
in my absence. This gave him all my athority so as to keep Arteesia from
attempting to take advangtage of my absence, as well as Lord Freeza. He was
just as elated as I over the recovery of my son and was anticipating our
arrival in a month and a half. He was also pleased I had managed to convince
the majority of his foster family to come along as well. At that moment
young Freya entered the bridge area. "Ah, Freya I am glad you are here." I
greeted. "Reginleif said you wanted to speak to me your majesty?" She asked
with nervousness as she bowed. "Yes, but in private if you will follow me."
I said as I stood and beckoned her. She looked quite apprehensive but
followed. "I shall be in my ready room." I said to all on the bridge as I
entered with Freya close behind. I sat down in my chair behind my desk
gesturing her to sit in one accross from me. I waited for her to settle
before I spoke. "Freya what I am going to ask you is personal." "It is
about Reginleif." I began. She looked up at me, her head cocked to one
side, eyes wide. "Reginleif?" She said questioningly. I nodded. "Indeed,
my son has told me that Reginleif had suffered great pain from her family as
a child." "I need to know if you can tell me WHAT it was they did to her and
why it affects her so deeply?" I asked. She bit on her lip slightly as she
seemed to contemplate my request. "May I ask why you want to know your
majesty?" She queried. "I will not go into detail save I wish to understand
her better." I replied. She sighed then spoke "Alright, I'll tell you what
I do know." She stated. As she relayed to me of horrors that Reginleif had
endured my rage at the injustice done to her grew as much as it had with my
outrage at my sons abuse. How pathetic that a grown man would blame a child
for HIS wrong, torture, and punish her thusly. If I were able to this very
moment I would destroy the old bastard and all those who wronged her. I
excused Freya whom was becoming quite un-nerved at my current state. So now
I understood WHY she was so submissive. They literally beat it into her to
act the way she does to those perceived as superiour. From what Freya had
told me she would even consider excreta more superiour than she. She could
not see how very brave and strong she was to have SURVIVED such an
nighgtmarish existance. Now I also understood the bond she had with her
former mate as well, and why such a old male had gotten such a lovely jewel
as she. From what my son had told me of his foster father he was a man both
open and strong. He was fiercely independent and a good provider for them
all. But Haakon had also told me of when his mother would start hurting
inside, saying mean things about herself, and felt weak his daddy would give
her his strength and love till she recovered her own. Then she was happy
again for a while. He obviously saw what I did in her and was more than
willing to boslter her when her emotional trauma would resurfaced helping her
feel safe till she could overcome the attack with that indomitable spirit and
will of hers. I understood more about such traumas more than most would
think a Saiyajin would. Mental illness is rare, there being only two known
cases on my world. The first was Raditz, which now with Freya hopfully he
would recover. The other was my main communications officer Psargus.
Saiyajins do not handle the gift of prophecy well. Only Bardock seemed to
have the fortitude not to go mad as Psargus had. Though Bardock had only a
single repeating vision Psargus was plagued with many. Admittedly he was
still useful and loyal but in his maddness his propehcies came by way of his
'rice' or the 'dust bunnies' telling him. I hate his dust bunnies and
rice....there always right and it's usually bad news...for us. Fortunatly
Reginleif was not mad, badly wounded to be certian and needed someone strong
to help her, making her feel safe when her great inner strength lagged. This
was well for me for I was more than willing to give her this. Lights such as
hers were rare and always essential and had to be protected at all costs.
Those bastards that had claimed to be her family tried to corrupt that inner
light of her's but she remaind strong and uncorruptible inspite of her
hellish existance. Even now her inner pain and struggles would challange the
stoutest of hearts she still maintained herself and cared for all those she
touched. I was determined now show her her light so that she may know the
treasure she was that they tried to bury so long ago.
(A/N: Don't throw a fit yet, I decided that the chapter was gonna be way too long so I divided them up, however I am posting them at the same time to make up for the lack of citrius here, kay. See the next chapt.)
