Viridian Nights....   Chapter 5--the voices
 ver since the first night on Valkrye... I constantly hear voices, whether I am awake or asleep.  When they come to me in my dreams, they are even more haunting.  Because... I see flashes of images with them, not just normal images but images of animals being hunted... but when they are caught they are violently ripped apart!!!  Also, every single time the wolves are there in the scenes... and they are the ones who are hunting and ravaging.  Its been about a week since the landing, and I haven't been able to sleep the last three days.  I know that I am way past the point of exhaustion, just dreading the time when my weariness takes over, and opens the gateway to the nightmares again!  D'ANA has been trying to give me support, but it seems to no avail.  The only other option is using drugs to induce sleep... and D'ANA says that we should save our limited supplies for emergencies.  I think that I am going crazy!!!  There is no other humanoids on the planet and I am hearing voices...

    Zen wake up!!! ZEN WAKE UP!!!  ZEN WAKE UP!!! "Huh..... what's going on...?"  Zen you must have been having a bad dream, because you were screaming and thrashing about in your sleep.  "D'ANA it was the most horrible thing imagineable... those wolves were hunting something that looked like an Jaceran Antelope.  And when they attacked it the first wolves bite got it in the side, and ripped it wide open... instantly all of its guts just fell out while it thrashed around in fear.  All the wolves did was chase it around... enjoying the sight of watching it die!!!  Worst of all..................... I could feel the excitement and love of blood that these wolves feel, it was like I was one of them!!!"  It was only a dream Zen!  "No I could almost taste the blood in my mouth, and now I am really scared ......... because ......... because I realized the voices are those of the WOLVES!!!!"  Nonsense, wolves don't talk, and if they did I would have picked it up on my audio scans!  "No, no, no!!! You're not listening to me!!!  I said I heard them talk!  When I said that I heard them it was while I was sleeping... and you had to shout to wake me up!  Don't you see???  They talk with their minds... the wolves are telepathic!!! That is why since the first night I have been hearing voices, somehow my telepathy is linked with theirs, and that would explain how I can also see what they do!!!"  Wow... that does make sense, but how come non of the other Psi's had detected their power when they studied the planet?  "Maybe they didn't have enough power.  Or their minds were closed to them, because they didn't find any humanoids they probably thought the voices were those of their collegues'."  Zen if you are right... you are going to have to do the research and record the results!  You are  the only one here that can talk to them or at least understand their thoughts.  Speaking of thoughts, if you are right about the voices being a telepathic communication.  Won't you be able to put up a mental shield against their thoughts?  "Yessss, I think I could put up a shield.  I also think that if I can hear their thoughts and see through their eyes, that I probably could talk to them mentally!  You know what is funny about this...?  I am not scared of the voices anymore, now that I know what their source might be!"  That is good that you are no longer scared!  Now maybe you should work on putting up a mental shield so you can sleep, without seeing blood and guts!  "OK.... besides I am soooo tired, that this new discovery isn't very exciting anymore.......... good-night D'ANA......"  Good-night...
