SALENA

Eldon’s life was about to enter a new phase and change him forever. Up until now in his young life he was happy with exploring the galaxy with his associates of like backgrounds and ideology. Even so, he had not formed any close relationships since he had lost Datar in the star desert. He knew he had an intense interest in the metaphysical or supernatural, which he preferred to call the supranatural. That meant he was interested in unseen forces or evidence of the Source, not simply for the sake of being outside the physical norms. The most recent SS Dome had opened his mind to how the Source or Creator is active throughout the known universe. Also Eldon was learning that he had an inclination to the qualities that were considered higher by some, and alternative by most, in Hearthites, such as love, mercy and humor. He was not content with the status quo of the cool formulized behavior of his people. At the same time he knew that falling victim to extreme emotion and passion was not good either.

In Eldon’s Earth domestic life was rather mundane. Emotions were rarely if ever shown. If two people, whether they were of a different gender or the same gender, wanted to be together, they formed a partnership. There were no binding obligations attached to it. However, if they wanted to procreate or have their own children, then a marriage was performed which was called a permpar. These were quite often arranged years
