A Space Story 79

            “Junitha why are we following Zai?” asked Janessa, “he just said he is going to help us.”
            “That is not what he said,” replied Junitha, “first Antalla trusted Zai completely.  I am not first Antalla.  I need to see for myself if Zai can be trusted.”
            They found Zai in a viewing room.  He was taking off his mask.  Zai opened his mouth and let out a roar.
            “Why?” he yelled into the dark, “Why did you ask me to do this?  I am your knight.  I fight when you ask me to fight.  I kill when you ask me to kill.  I would die if you ever asked me for my life.  Why would you send me to do this?  Who am I to judge them?”
            Junitha was smiling.
            “Why are you smiling?” asked Janessa, “can’t you see he’s suffering.”
            “I am smiling,” said Junitha, “because he is asking questions.”
