The feeling was absolutely insane - I felt like I was being pulled apart and being put back together again - suddenly I land - crashing onto damp earth with an audible thump.
“Ow...” I whine, standing up and rubbing my elbow as I take in my new surroundings.
It’s like a jungle, there are huge trees and tall grasses everywhere, the vegetation is gorgeous, luscious green and brown with vast arrays of colour thrown in.
I think its evening because the light is dimming, and from the clearing I can see between a gap in the trees, I spot a massive vegetated cliff face, something that looks like it would dwarf the Grand Canyon cliffs in spades.
Maybe it’s just the animal in me talking, or maybe it’s the remnants of the connections - but hell - this place to me is the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen.
“Rsat Dclhĭ...?” A voice somewhere behind me - no wait - above me.
I look up and spot a Jii’kujiiuu hanging from one arm off the branch way up above me, a little to the right of my head.
I can tell it’s a she just by the way she speaks and by the look in her eyes; I can also tell she’s young - maybe a four or five year old in human years.
“That’s right. Star Child.” I nod and reach up my hand.
She lets go of the branch she’s holding and I call out a startled warning, jolting from the instinctual thought that she was going to hit the ground - but without moving any part of her body she latches on to the branch nearly four meters below her and peers closer at me.
She didn’t even flinch.
“Rsat Dclhĭ? Uo tmsu eb ã nhaum. Ear uo? Uo kwla fnun.” She cocks her head.
“I’m human yeah. What’s your name?” I ask.
She blinks, not understanding.
I shake my head at my own stupidity - she’s alien, she’s never seen Earth - so English is almost certainly alien to her too.
“Ĭ ma ã nhaum Rsat Dclhĭ se. M enma sĭ Mike. Twah sĭ srou?” I ask again.
She gasps just like a human child and flicks her tail, calling out as she crawls like Spiderman back up the tree, then she kicks off her branch and swings across the branches quickly, one arm in front of the other with an ease even better than that of a chimpanzee.
Then when the branches get too far apart she leaps off the branch and grabs hold of the next one with both hands, kicks out her hind legs to throw herself further forwards and then grabs onto the next branch with her tail, all the while calling out.
“Ammam! Ammam! Eth Rsat Dclhĭ! Eh sĭ ehre! Eth Rsat Dclhĭ sĭ ehre!” Over and over.
I stand alone again for a while before suddenly -
“Mother?” I whirl around.
“Haruku!” I gasp and fling myself into his arms. “My god Haruku! How have you been man?!”
“Fine...” Haruku manages to gasp.
I pull away from him with the biggest smile on my face as I grip his shoulders, looking him up and down.
“Hell you’ve grown...” I breathe. “You’re all grown up!”
“I reach maturity quickly.” Haruku shrugs modestly. “What brings you here mother?”
Haruku’s clothes are grimy. Who knows how long he’s been without a wash.
Did I forget to mention he liked the drunken munky label?
Of course, being part human he had to wear clothes, his erm... Lower regions didn’t leave much choice about whether he could skip clothes or not.
“Hideaway Fingal did... He shoved me through the key... I’m supposing I’ve got to see the ceremony or something like that. I really don’t know. Have you seen Rosie?” I change the subject.
Haruku smiles in that way he has and strokes his squid like fingers over his hairless, domed head.
“Come with me mother, and you shall see...” He takes my hand and leads me through the dense vegetation, on and on until we reach a clearing.
The sight before me is amazing - I wish I have eight eyes so I can just take it all in at once.
Jii’kujiiuu are everywhere, from the ancient to the infant, teepee like things on the ground, and platforms higher up, all of them milling with Jii’kujiiuu of all ages.
Haruku leads me to a teepee next to a blazing fire and parts the decorated cloth.
“Rosie... I’ve got a visitor...” Haruku turns to me and nods towards the depths of the hut.
“Rosie?” I crouch down and peer in, catching movement in the fire’s glow.
Rosie looks up at me, a smile crossing her features; she’s lying down on her side.
She returns her gaze to a moving mass next her stomach and I frown, looking closer and abruptly realizing - it wasn’t just a lumpy, moving mass at all - it was babies!
“My god you’re a mom now! Will the surprises ever stop coming?” I grin.
“Young. Human would call pups I believe.” She explains to me.
“How many?” I ask, carefully entering and sitting next to her.
“Twelve.” Rosie smiles and nuzzles a squeaking youngster. “Cshia, Niku, Jara, Shovx, Trui, Wuruna, Mike, Chester, Joe, Rob, Brad, and Phoenix.”
She looks back up at me and grins slyly.
“Wow. That’s really sweet of you Rosie. Who’s the lucky dad?” I ask.
“Kovxua.” Rosie nods to the outside and Haruku points to the large Jii’kujiiuu minding a group of youngsters playing rough and tumble.
“You picked well... He looks awesome.” I murmur.
I wasn’t just flattering either - he really is something, his long ape arms are thick and muscular, his chest broad and strong, his hind legs are really brawny and so is his tail, his head is definitely masculine, perched high on a neck with a prominent crest like a stallion has - everything about him screams power.
It certainly is an understatement to say I’m enthralled - of course, I had never seen a male Jii’kujiiuu before so it’s all the more fascinating.
“Uo ear ewcomel ot sat fro eth tnhĭg m dfenrĭ, Kovxua dan Ĭ lslha pkee uo mwra luĭnt eth ncmonere ecmencom nĭ eth gmnĭnor.” Rosie nips my ear and I smile, settling myself down next to her and closing my eyes.
“Thanks Rosie... You’re the best...” I murmur.
For the first time in my entire life, I feel happy, so content that if a freak meteor struck me now like in Armageddon, I couldn’t care less.
Rosie’s a mom, I have my son by my side and I can get home to see my friends and Leila again when I want... I can take over a role to protect the creatures that had been singing me to sleep for nearly seventeen years, and... Now I know... Now I’m really sure, for the first time in my life, I’m not alone.
I will always have someone to turn to and I can always be there for them.
Yeah...
I peak through slightly parted eyelids and smile at the Jii’kujiiuu playing around the fire.
I’m as happy as Larry.
Happy as a Jii’kujiiuu in a forest.
