Chapter 3

Royal Galactica Space Cruiser

The Royal Galactica Space Cruiser, under the command of the Crown prince of Arion, Arkas Qui Drax, has been travelling through space for a few lunar cycles engaging in trade, negotiating with world leaders and diplomats and providing assistance to IGS Supreme in their rehabilitation program for destroyed and war-ridden planets. Earth, located in the Milky Way galaxy, is their final destination before embarking on the journey back to their home planet.

Arionians are a male-dominated species. Many millennia ago, female births started to drop to a point where only a few hundred females were left on the planet. It forced the leaders to look elsewhere for females to save their species from extinction. This is how they began finding compatible species to engage in genetic trade and their latest discovery - humans, a baby species in intergalactic travel but with a very similar anatomy to Arionians. A remarkable trait of human females that really caught the attention of the Arionian leadership is their ability to get pregnant with a youngling 12 times in a single planetary cycle, which is several times more than the reproductive ability of other superior species. Negotiating a genetic trade with humans is of prime importance to the future of Arion and that’s why it was decided that the Crown prince himself would go to secure this alliance with Earth’s world leaders.

But unknown to everyone else, Prince Arkas also has a personal agenda on Earth. Thoroughly annoyed by the persistent Royal Council and their demand to choose a mate, Arkas has devised an, admittedly impulsive, plan to get those old councilmen off his case. He plans to offer a very lucrative deal to a human female in exchange for a year of fake courtship and for this, he has engaged the help of the alien dating hotline, an agency that matches different alien species – a quick and effective way to meet a willing human female.

Arkas

Prince Arkas walks into the control room of the spaceship and looks through the glass panel towards the small green and blue planet called Earth, home to the alien species called humans. “Captain Egor, when are we scheduled to land?” he asks the head pilot of the RG space cruiser.

“Your Highness”, the Captain bows and replies, “the estimated time of arrival is 13:00 Earth Standard Time (EST). The ship is all ready to make the landing and we will enter earth’s atmosphere in about 15 mins.”

“Very well. Thank you, Captain.” Arkas turns around and takes a seat to prepare for the landing. Ragnark, his most trusted companion since they were younglings and future Chief of the Royal army, sits beside him. “Are you sure about this Arkas? If you want to fool the Council, there are better candidates than this human female. How about Illyrian females? They are pleasing to look at and are genetically compatible with us. The Council will be satisfied since they have been our allies for a long time and are a strong species.”

“No, I have made my decision. She has to be someone who the Council approves of enough to get them off my back but aren’t too pleased with to keep pestering me after our inevitable separation. A human female is perfect for this job. Humans are genetically compatible with us, so she can produce my heirs, but they’re a weak and newly discovered species, not worthy of sitting on the throne of Arion.”

“It seems like I cannot change your mind on this. Have you seen this female you’re meeting? Is she appealing to your highness? I have heard human females are a thing of beauty and mating with them is simply amazing. They also have different coloured skin, eyes and hair. I can’t wait to feast my eyes on these females. Maybe while you’re trying to convince this female to go along with your insane plan, I’ll have time to get a taste of one or a few.” Ragnark smirks, excited at the prospect of rutting human females. He has gained quite a reputation as a womanizer in the universe.

“I haven’t seen her as her looks are of no importance to my plan. I have no intention of actually paying any attention to her during our courtship, nor, rutting with her. It is a waste of my time. But I have read her file, she’s the perfect candidate. No romantic entanglements or other commitments that’ll possibly interfere with my plan. She also seems to be in dire need of financial help. No one in her situation will be able to say no to my offer.” He speaks arrogantly, confident that his plan would work.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, we are landing on planet Earth. The Captain advises everyone onboard to take a seat and wait for further instructions. Thank you.” The ship's flight crew made the announcement.

Soon, the Royal Galactica Space Cruiser makes a safe landing on the grand space station. The delegation from Arion is greeted by diplomats from Earth and taken to the headquarters of the International Space Organisation where the negotiations for genetic trade will be held. Leaders from around the world have come together for this event.

After weeks of negotiations, both species reach an agreement. It was a historic win for both worlds. As per the terms of the genetic trade, Arionians will have access to human females who’ll voluntarily sign up for courting or breeding programs. In return, earth will be brought under the protection of Arion and Arionian soldiers will be immediately deployed on earth and spaceships orbiting earth to protect the planet from attacks from invaders and pirates, something that has become a huge problem in recent decades.

Finally, after securing a successful alliance with Earth, Prince Arkas is ready to win yet another battle – this time with a tiny human female.
