After seeing that Shalimar and Wynn were going to be fine, I ordered three gwees to watch over the two girls. To the fourth and oldest gwee, I asked--in dragon speech--what its name was. After the gwee had responded, I said, "Okay, Kaida. You will speak the Common Tounge. Neither you or your gurs will cause any more trouble."

"Aye Lady Dragon," the Gwee replied, nodding. "Please allow me to apologize for what my gurs and I did to the canine. If we knew you were it's master--"

"Moochi wasn't my pet," I interrupted. "He was my guardian."

"Then we have commited a grevious error," Kaida said. "Please, allow me to take the canine's place and my gurs to look over your hatchlings."

As I stared at the gwee, Nissa leaned forward and whispered, "If you remember your folklore, gwees are quite lucky."

"And I need the luck," I replied. "Okay Kaida, you can replace Moochi--with one condition."

"Anything."

"If any of my other guardians tell you to do something, you do it," I said.

Bowing, Kaida said, "Aye Lady Dragon."

Just finding four living gwees is luck in itself, I thought, turning to see Harper standing right behind me. "Can I help you?"

"I'm about to reboot Nerissa's main AI and there's a--"

"Security code," I said, nodding. "It's dragon speech and you won't understand it."

"Also," Harper said, his gaze shifting to Kaida behind me. "What are those?"

"Luck charms," I replied. Seeing the confused look on Harper's face, I asked, "You're an Earthling right?"

"How did you know?" Harper asked.

"One never quite forgets the smell of a planet that was ravaged like earth was [+1]," I said. "Once upon a time on my home planet, gwees were similar to house hold pets. After a time, gwees began to adopt the look of their owners--becoming the mini dragons they are today. I want to stress that even though they have similar qualities, gwees are NOT dragons. To call a dragon a gwee is like someone calling you a pig."

"You're a dragon?" Harper asked me. "As in large heaps of gold?"

Sighing, I said, "Never mind, young one."

Walking over to the control panel that Rommie, Ikkit, and Harper rebuilt, I opened my mouth to begin saying the security code when I suddenly transformed into an altered form of my chibi form.
