Second volume in the Nr#65533;#65533;k Confederation Series:Suura was Seeshuse, born into the Saamu family, one of the three great dynastic families which had ruled the Empire for a hundred generations.His grandmother had told him about the Nr#65533;#65533;k, and about the war in which she had fought as the Empire tried and failed to absorb the Nr#65533;#65533;k home world. He found her description to be somewhat lacking when he came to know them, when the Nr#65533;#65533;k raided his world and killed his family. He would fight them again and again, with and without the blessing of the Empress, but when a new ally made itself known to him, he was desperate enough to listen to them and perhaps give them what they demanded.

He tilted his head back and let the cold rain beat on his face. He had to remember. What had the Nàsúwårna done to him? He had to remember what had happened before. Someone was screaming and dying in agony. A pulse of maniacal light burned into the trunk of one of the ancient trees.

The doors were pushed open by a dozen of the Imperial Guard, and ˙Umeˇsa proceeded down the Great Hall as the Palace filled with the Imperial Anthem, and with his people, her people. “ .Uruu¨ ˙Uraa:n! .Uruu¨ ˙Uraa:n ….." Torchlight lit the way as he followed her into the First Audience Room, shuffling through the ankle-deep, blood red flower petals. The room filled with bodies. The firelight flickered as if in response to the rhythmic “ .Uruu¨ ˙Uraa:n! .Uruu¨ ˙Uraa:n ….." ˙Umeˇsa stood in front of the throne. She turned to face them. ˙Ine˚na whispered, “·Siu:ru!” And into the awful silence, ˙Umeˇsa said the words. “I am the ˙Seeːshu(xeˆze)oxe˘." "I am the ˙Seeːshu(xeˆze)oxe˘.” "I am the ˙Seeːshu(xeˆze)oxe˘.”
The du'uTéDulu said their ship was a merchant ship, but they were long cylindrical things. This was sickle shaped and remarkably similar to the du'uTéDulu battle cruisers, which had held off the Nrààk for generations. It might not have any weapons installed at the moment, but they were likely nearby if they weren’t actually hidden in the cargo hold. It was obvious the du'uTéDulu hadn't been dozing in the sun all the years that the Nrààk had ruled them. The Triumvirate were not in a good mood. Middle and Left were standing erect on all six limbs, fighting spurs not quite hidden. Right was scratching itself.
He circled the fallen king, walking between his captors. He was proud of his soldiers for managing to look fearless. Hégêra had hands like the scoops on earth moving equipment. He had a dozen laser burns on his black armor. Crusted blood decorated the ones that had penetrated to the flesh. His black hair and beard were singed, and he stank of sweat and burnt flesh.
He walked over to Hégêra again. He said in Nrààk, “You will order your soldiers and your people to surrender. There has been enough killing. This world will become part of the Empire. You can’t stop that.” Hégêra smiled at him and shook his head. His teeth had been filed to points. His eyes were black, and his forehead flattened. He closed his eyes, and saw his nightmares for the rest of his life. ˙Reeːni said, “You damn well will surrender.” Hégêra said in Nrààk, “My people will never surrender.”
