shut as Ajax continued “The High Council did some research using spies on the First Ones focusing on the believers of Lance Richard to learn background on you. Their aware of that you seem to have some deathless state including some characteristics that have Highlander in them along with some other species that makes you the way you are.”
Jinks nodded his head in agreement towards Ajax and his words as his son paused from talking which he sensed his son wanted to hear something from him.
Jinks spoke “Just curious, have you done any background checking on Osiris himself?”
He formed a questioning look on his face while staring at Ajax who spoke “Most of what we know is from Set, his brother who confirmed that Osiris had a son, he never met prior to being killed off and body thrown in the chasm. There’s records from Highlanders reading the minds of Shadonians and eavesdropping on their talk that two Shadonians, a male and a female on some beach, witnessed Osiris’ form change into a First One form into Lance Richard, who spent some time helping the Shadonia with problems including helping them find their underwater home.”
Jinks nodded his head in a short bob towards Ajax who kept talking “There are also records from the time when there were First Ones and Highlanders living on some small continent island, in Shadan, dubbed Great Britain, before water flooded part of the land making it into several islands, including Drainer Island. These records detailed Lance Richard living in Great Britain, among the First Ones, as first as a fool, who had too much to drink. Some female in a village took pity on him and taught him her healing and medicinal arts. Records detailed that there were two Lance Richards one who people religiously followed and another who seemed to be a follower at that time frame.”
Jinks stiffened hearing as Ajax continued talking “I should tell you that Lance Richard according to records lived to father three children with three different females whose descendants’ lines ended courtesy of war. Lance Richard after the death of his third child’s descendants mysteriously disappeared with no sighting of him. Anyway records detailed that the follower of Lance Richard who called himself that name had fathered twins through a female who died giving birth to the babies. Her descendants were carefully detailed ending with a male given the name of Lance with the second name as Knight that mysteriously disappeared from the island before the great flood arrived forming the islands.”
Jinks frowned as Ajax became silent sensing his son wanted to hear something from him spoke “I’m told that a descendant of the follower found Lance Richard’s body in some cave in some land also called Great Britain in Terra and brought the body over to the United States years before the transfer to Shadan. I’m aware of that they used a piece of Lance Richard to create me. I lived unknowingly of who my father was and didn’t find out who he was till even after I came back from the dead in my father’s body. I later found out from one of the followers who pretended to be my father who was thinking I was Lance admitting it to me what they did to create me. I confess that it took me a very long time to process that my original body was dead and I was alive in my father’s body.”
Jinks clamped his mouth shut as Ajax gave off a harrumph like sound before his son spoke “Interesting but what’s with the name Jinks Montreal? There’s nothing in our records to indicate the names’ importance. The only clues to those names are that Jinks is a nickname for bad luck and Montreal is the name of some city in Terra of some nation called Canada.”
Jinks sighed and spoke “Ajax, I was given the name of Robert by my mother at my birth, is a family name in my mother’s side of the family. Robert comes from her father having that name hence she naming me that. I’m told by the follower named Burke pretending to be my biological father that I was active as a young child getting into things and getting injuries from that hence the nickname Jinks which stuck as my name. As for the last name Montreal my mother through birth records given to me later after she passed away shown that she was born in Montreal, Canada before her parents moved to the United States. To answer your question about the names is that my mother had an argument with Burke a very powerful man in the Master organization on how to raise me walked out taking me and hid me from Burke with the help of others. She used the last name Montreal to hide herself from people and used Jinks Montreal as my legal name in government affairs. Burke later after I was full grown adult had some people assassinate my mother which some Highlander group called Scotland pointed it out to me and I confronted him on that. He later retaliated by shooting me in the chest putting me in some twenty year healing sleep. I found out after I woke up from the sleep that Burke was killed off by others in the organization through use of blowing up his car with him inside it.”
Jinks paused to clear his throat then added “How long was I out asleep anyway? Besides I could really use some clothes and something to eat.”
He frowned as he heard his son spoke “You were out for a Human calendar month. Oh I heard from the Meritanians’ talk that they told Lance to inform someone named Victoria you’re doing alright.”
He sighed and spoke sensing Ajax’s questioning tone “Victoria’s my daughter with a Human female who had a Builder mate with beliefs that the father raises the child with no help from the female or her Builder mate. She’s the Human age of ten years old.”
He heard a hmm sound from Ajax who turned around and gestured for him to follow with a covered hand which he obeyed following his son walking the entire length of the cylinder corridor till he spotted the tube leading to another mountain with part of it appearing to be sticking out of water. Jinks and Ajax reached the tube’s end to see the door slide open showing Anubis standing there with ears flat against his head and looking annoyed judging by the look in his eyes.
He frowned to hear Ajax speak with sarcasm “Whatever time of day it is, Anubis, what orders did the High Council tell you to do this time that you’re not doing?”
He heard a growl from Anubis who spoke in a loud whisper “Just get Horus something to wear and stop having him parade around like that. I despise seeing people without clothes.”
Jinks kept his mouth shut as he heard a harrumph from Ajax who walked passed Anubis with him following to enter a hallway lighted above and sensed the gonoid head warrior was following them behind. He followed Ajax walking several corridors to notice some of the corridors had windows showing outside which he peered at to spot several smaller mountains gathered around underwater with light dots shining scattered from them. He frowned as they reached a wall which slid open showing a room with attached to walls couches and a masked Highlander standing in front of a console.
He heard Ajax speak “This will take you where you need to go. See you around.”
He heard Anubis’ growl sounding annoyed from behind obeyed walking into the room to see the masked Highlander do a double take look while seeing his naked form. Jinks ignored the look to sit down on a couch finding an eye wear mask sitting on it which he placed on his head covering his eyes and leaned back on the couch with arms folded. He felt the motions of the room sensing it was like a roller coaster moving all over the place which he found himself staying calm and not sick feeling. He figured it was due to the eye wear mask covering his eyes that was keeping him calm and not sick.
He felt the room stop with a jerk and heard the Highlander speak with a cranky tone “End of line! Get out! I haven’t gotten all day!”
Jinks yanked off the eye wear mask to place it on the couch and saw the door open which he walked out to find himself standing in a familiar hallway while hearing the door slide shut behind him. He saw an Annukai standing in the middle of the hallway that widen eyes with a double take look seeing his naked form that made him feel disgusted. Jinks eyed the Annukai sensing the figure was a female from the face and eyes looking feminine despite the clothes the female was wearing making her appear male.
Jinks spoke with an annoyed tone in Basic “You got something for me to wear? I’m a little put out parading around like this.”
He saw the
Annukai shake her head before speaking in a feminine voice sounding bewildered in Basic “Yah I know where to get you something to wear so follow me.”
Jinks followed the Annukai down the hallway to the door that slide open showing a familiar hallway with doors at one side.
He followed the Annukai to a door that slid open and heard the Annukai speak “There’s items inside for you if you care to look. I’m needed elsewhere.”
He watched the Annukai dart down the hallway to hit double doors at the opposite of the doors in the hallway disappearing from sight. Jinks exhaled a breath to walk into the room he saw was a bedroom and sensed the door slide shut behind him. He looked around to see a bed with a blanket and pillow jutting from the wall along with two walled dressers besides it on both sides on his right. He went to the dresser on the right side of the bed and began yanking open drawers. He spotted in one drawer were folded clothing which he took out to see they were all white which were consisted of a long sleeve top appearing to be some tunic and drawstring pants which he put on the bed. Jinks hunted for shoes finding slipper like shoes in the bottom drawer which he yanked out a pair and placed on the bed. He saw a
