She was sitting in her command chair on the bridge of the ship while studying the information that was displayed on the holographic datapad that she held in her hand. The subject she was observing was the ideal candidate for what her species was in need of. He was in his sexual prime, healthily, lived in a rural part of his world and exhibited the traits that made him the perfect choice for the ritual. She took a sip of her warm drink and looked out the forward viewscreen to the moon of his home planet that they were hiding behind that concealed their presents to the world below. She sighed, not really sure what the correct choice was.
She was the Queen of the Kafka, the chosen one that the billions of lives of her planet depended on to make the right decisions. She questioned herself, was this man, this human, the one that would be the template for her people's reproduction? If she chose wrong how many of her people would suffer the consequences?
The door behind her opened with a short hissing sound and her personal droid walked to her side and looked down to her. "Your highness, have you made your decision?" it asked in a feminine harmonic voice.
"Yes I have." the Queen answered. "Take us down, he is the one." Giving the datapad to the droid it took it and with a quick glance at the information the droid gave a swift nod and moved to the ship's helm control and proceeded to start running the system checks before it disengaged from the orbit of the moon.
"Are you sure this is the way we should present ourselves to him?" the droid asked as it effortlessly started the engines. The Queen got up slowly from her seat and walked to one of the control panels of the starboard side of the bridge. She punched in the sequence with rapid touches of her finger for the mirror displayed to be brought up. She studied herself in the mirror, comparing herself to the women on the planet below.
She was roughly the same height as human females standing at one and two thirds meters. Her hair was comparable as well, flowing down to the middle of her torso; it was straight and jet black alongside elegant strands of violet and burgundy. For the most part she had the same features humans have, with two eyes, a nose, mouth, two ears even though hers had points at the end of them. The biggest difference was her skin tone. She ran her hand gently across her arm wondering what he would think of the blue-greenish pigments.
The sudden momentum change of the ship came with a quick lurching motion that always happened when disengaging from orbiting anything of great mass. The act brought the Queen out of her thoughts and refocused her to her mission. She shut down the mirror displayed and smoothly turned to face her only other crew member. "Yes it is the only way." She replied.
"You might want to rest up" The droid remarked, "It will be a several hours before we get to our objective." It said with a slight movement of its head in the Queen's direction. She pondered its remark. Her mind and body were excited by what was to happen. She was chosen as the Queen of her generation's race for this exact purpose. How could she sleep at a time like this? But she was also nervous and worried about what was to come. Maybe rest would do her good to center herself.
"Yes you may be right. I will be in my quarters." The Kafkan declared and glided her way to the exit. The door opened and closed behind her with the familiar hissing sound that it always made. The interior of the ship was sleek and metallic. The halls were lined with lights that emanated from the tops and bottoms of them. They would slowly change colors giving an exotic but pleasant decor.
Other than her quarters the rest of the ship had a mess hall, detention center and living area. She headed towards her cabin off to the right. The door opened with a hiss and she slowly stepped inside. The lights automatically came on revealing her spacious room. Her lights were set to a soft blue tint, her walls draped with tapestries and other works of art. The left side of the room had a large vanity and mirror with a luxurious chair in front of it. The middle part of the room was her bunk with plush sheets and bedspread. And the right side had shelves and a closet in the middle.
Crossing the room towards the shelves she stopped and picked up one of the bottles that were sitting there. Bringing it with her to the bed she took the cork out which made a loud popping noise. She drank down two whole gulps and replaced the cork and set the bottle down on her nightstand. She stripped off all her clothes except her undergarments. Her body was smooth, soft and lean. But like all of her kind her breasts were vast and plentiful. Squishy and round they hung off her frame like two magnificent globes. She ran her hands up to them and gave them a light squeeze that made her utter out a heavy moan. Also like all her kind they were very sensitive so she had to force herself to stop playing with them,
now is not the time for pleasure,
she thought,
he will be with you shortly.
She crawled under her covers and shut her eyes, hoping that the Goddesses would grace her with some last needed wisdom before she would wake.
The water was just up to her ankle lukewarm and in every direction. The misty haze of fog moved slowly across the top. She knew she was in the deep trance of spiritual meditation. Above her night sky with billions of stars and a giant moon that illuminated her surroundings and ahead of her a being slowly materialized from part of the fog with two more coming to be on her left and right. She knelt on one knee with her head bowing low.
"Goddesses Avaleena, Seseno and Meliketh thank you for hearing my prayers and appearing before me." She stated with her right hand raised up in the traditional gesture. Each one of them along with her was in their raw state as nature intended.
"Rise up our daughter." The Goddesses said in unison. The three were now standing on a platform that was floating above the water. All three of them looked very much like her, just with different skin tones and strands of hair. Avaleena was the middle one, deep red with curly hair. Seseno was on the right with tones of yellow and short hair. Meliketh being on the left was bright green and spiked hair. They each were slightly transparent and emanated a slight glow. They looked down on their follower who was now standing eagerly waiting to hear their wisdom.
"So the time has come and the Ritual will soon be here. Remember you have been selected and groomed by us because we believe you are the best hope for our people." Avaleena declared in a tender but commanding voice. "Our people's time is slowly fading we foresee a mere millennia worth of generations before it is too late." She added.
