Bloodsteam (ZaDr) ~ Chapter One (Part One)
Okay, so the first half of this chapter is gonna be trough Dib's P.O.V. because it's sooo much easier to explain things through his eyes.
Sixteen years ago was the beginning of my end. On the day of my birth I was taken away from a human nursery on the planet Earth and was raised by an Irken service drone in order to serve my one and only master. The drone told me that Master had bought me legally and therefore I was his forever, but I know I was stolen. Human slaves are illegal in every galaxy, and on every planet. Well, besides Earth, but I never have, and never will admit I know that. I don't need another reason for Master to 'correct' me...
On the day of my second year my master, Blin, assigned me as his personal slave. He told me if I was questioned, I was to 'refer myself as his adopted son.', whatever that was... Master Blin uses many terms that I do not understand, but I've learned to never question him, or it'll lead to more 'correcting'.
For the next five years, there

My master once told me that there was a time when all galaxies were isolated from one another; No one dared venture into the depths of space in fear of being captured or even killed by some unknown alien race. That was until the inhabitants of Irk did what no other species dreamed of...
The Irken leader, Tallest Myuki, ordered her best technicians to build something that could easily cruise around space without a single complication. The process took a gruesome eighty years, but the Irken's did it; They built the first space vessel to ever travel such great distances without any problems or hindrance.
The Viral Tank.
Large in size, the Viral Tank could withstand the journey not only out of Irk's atmosphere, but also that of any other unknown planet's atmosphere. Along with herself, Tallest Myuki chose the most suitable Irken scientists to have total control over the Viral Tank.
And that's when those chosen Irken's found did it.
They successfully found one planet who had i

Red sat with a bored expression as he watched Purple stuff his face with doughnuts. His eye began to twitch as he listened to the disgusting sound of the other Tallest's lips smacking together. Finally growing tired of the sound, Red yelled at Purple."Pur, it's been three HOURS. Put down the disgusting earth food that idiot Zim sent and do something productive!"
Tallest Purples' eyes widened comically. He looked down at the sugary treats in his hands and then back at Red. "Bu- but Reeeeed~. They're soooooooo good!" He gave the other tallest puppy dog eyes, his lip pouting adorably. "Earth sweets are soooooo much better than Irks!"
Red sighed and rolled his eyes. "I've known you since we were smeets Pur. That look lost its effect a LONG time ago."
Purple looked close to tears as he reluctantly put the doughnuts down on the ship's control panel. The box of Earth goodies in the corner hit a lever which, consequently, blew up a casino pl

I hate this.
I hate the look on your face: Lost, scared, tired. I hate how we let ourselves become this weak, shuddering from pain but so transfixed in the silence that surrounds us. Ever so gently, I reach out my worn out palm and caress your singed flesh that was once so perfectly smooth. Your maroon orbs scan across my features, searching for something but what that something is is anyone's guess.
Then you smile.
It wasn't one of your egotistical, cocky, "I'M BETTER THAN YOU FILTHY BAGS OF FLESH FOR I AM ZIM!" smiles. No. It was something- wonderful. So wonderful that it was painful. With a shaky tri-fingered hand, you lightly smack my cheek. "That l'k... d'snt f't you... hyooman."
I can't help but smile back. I breathe out a forced laugh and clutch the hand that was still pressed against my face. "I c'ld say the same 'bout you... Sp-space boy."
You say nothing in return. You just continue to smile.
I hate it. I hate that look.

"Ugh! I hate this weather!" Dib complained as he stood outside of Hi Skool, watching the rain fall mercilessly to the ground. He looked over at the Irken that stood to his left. Who, much to his satisfaction, was shorter than him. After four years of being on the planet the Irken had realized that his old attire had been deemed 'weird,' and in his attempt to successfully blend in with the humans he had taken the human with him to purchase clothing that was 'normal', which consisted of very dark colors. On every outfit Zim had stitched a pink insignia of his Irken empire. The invader had also customized a longer wig to hide his growing antenna.
After the shopping trip the two became something more- not enemies, and at the same time, they were not friends. Their relationship had grown into something like an

Looking forward at the crescent shaped chair in which his new master was seated in, a confused teen watched from his spot on the round bed as the ex-Elite examined his new lab that had been hidden by a hologram of a wall. The Irken hummed to himself, picking up various objects only to set them back down again. After a few minutes, Zim turned away from his observations in favor of the boy.
"This lab is impressive." He said excitedly. "It's a fair size, has a good amount of tools," he then grinned sadistically. "There's even chemicals in here I could only dream of using!" Letting out a content sigh, he turned away from Dib and stared into his lab. "With these materials, I could create a whole new era of weaponry for the Armada." Dib watched silently as the black stalks upon the other's head wilted slightly. "Or myself." Nodding his head, the Irken set out to do just that.
The human's curiosity was grasped

Zim had come back down to the holding cells the next day to satisfy his curiosity over the boy's health. Much to dismay, the human had not improved from his dazed-like state. Upon entering the room the alien let out a slight sigh as his ruby orbs scanned over every inch of Dib's frail body before he slowly made his way up to the small cage. Leaning his back against the cool bars, Zim stared forward at the grey, metalic wall, reluctant to see the damage he had caused.
The silence in the near empty room seemed almost deafening; the only sound seemed to come from the Irken's heart as it drummed heavily into his antenna. Minutes passed before the Irken could no longer take the overwhelming silence. "Why is the Dib acting like this?" he asked, a hint of unease slipping past his dry lips. Inwardly the green male hoped for some kind- any kind of response from the other, but as

The two companions took their time walking back to Blin's study after the Irken had gained all functions back into his PAK; Zim had laid upon a steel medical bed as the medic drone probed away at his PAK, screaming threats at the top of his lungs the entire time while Dib had stood near the door of the room and watched curiously as the smaller cursed at the other Irken, telling her that if anything were to go wrong he'd take it upon himself to destroy her. The drone worked fast and efficiently and once everything was once again right, she wasted no time in kicking the rude Irken out of the room.
The two walked down one of the halls on the main level of the home. Dib stifled laughter as Zim mumbled under his breath, complaining that the medic had treated his lifesource carelessly. The human watched silently while Zim half heartedly rambled angrily. It seemed like in no time at all that the two reached the small elevator that ascended to the human's master's study

Fuschia eyes blinked themselves awake as cables disconnected from the PAK as it excited it's sleep cycle, forcing the green male back into consciousness. Zim slowly propped himself up in a sitting position before stretching his tired muscles with a mewling yawn, his serpentine tongue flicking out and danced across dry lips.
The Irken swung his legs over the side of the bed and stared at the metal door before him. He desperately tried to sort out groggy thoughts as they flooded into his mind. His first priority was to get his PAK back to full function, but in order to do that he'd need to confront the Blin. He frowned. If he could he would avoid the other at all costs.
But it is crucial if I am to get what I want.
Zim let out a frustrated sigh before he stood up on tired legs. He approached the door, placing his left hand on the panel just as the human had done a few hou

How long has it been: Hours, days, weeks, months? With the missing essence of a clock or window, the human had lost his sense of time long ago. He usually had an idea of what time it was when Zim came to visit him, bringing him food and water three times a day, but after that 'incident', Zim stopped coming. Gir came by every so often, bringing some sort of snack or an occasional meal and sometimes when Zim's computer cleansed Dib of his human filth it would strike up an irrelevant conversation, but besides that he was completely alone.
At first he had expected the alien to come back and torture him or even kill him. But as time dragged on and Zim had yet to reappear, Dib began to get worried. Not only for himself, but for his captor. Was Zim just going to leave him there in that cage to slowly starve to death, or was he just avoiding the human because of what happened? Had he really hurt the green teen so much that he refused to see the human? Maybe Zim was thinking of a per

The room wasn't so much tense as it was just awkward. Zim didn't seem to notice it but, Dib was trying his best to ignore it. All the times he had been in this room he had been struggling and fighting to escape, but now he was willingly here. Working on a stupid school project, with his alien enemy.
'Not weird at all.' He thought to himself.
He found the button he was looking for. With all the random doodads he had stolen from Zim he'd managed to slowly learn his language.
He continued typing.
"Error! Subject unknown." The computer beaped.
"What? I'm sure I spelled it right."
Dib scowled. He furrowed his brow and typed it in again to double check.
"Error! Subject still unknown." The computer repeated.
"Grrrr.... "
"What is... this 'Content'?" Zim interrupted.

Dib sat on the nearest chair as Gir handed him an ice pack in which he put over his newest forehead bruise.
"We didn't get anything done." He finally said with a bit of anger.
"Then you will have to do better tomorrow." Zim replied standing tall with his arms crossed.
"What?! Don't expect me to do all of this by myself. We're down two partners as it is."
"Fine. Let's continue." Zim rested one elbow in his hand as the other reached to hold his green head.
"It's 1 a.m. Can't we pick it up in the morning?"
"FINE!" Fed up with Dib's complaining he walked over to a circle in the floor that quickly removed him to another underground space.
Dib laid on his back. One arm above his head and the other with his hand resting on his chest. His eyes were heavy and his breathing slow.
'Why did he blush?' He thought to himself.

"Mornin' hun." He said jumping onto the bed. "What do you want to do today?"
Zim thought for a sec.
"DESTROY!" he replied clenching his fists and smiling evily.
"Hah. OR! We can...... uh.... I have jello!"
Dib tossed his shirt and some boxers for Zim to wear, and they rushed down stairs.
Gaz was sitting at the table enjoying a bowl of vampy-o's. She glanced at Zim and began to choke, falling to the floor.
"Uhm.. Gaz? Are you doing ok there?" Dib was unsure if his kindness would go unpunished. He kept his guard up incase the bowl were to come flying at him.
She stood up and pointed at Dib, then paused, grabbed her cereal, and relocated.
"Whatever." Dib said as he headed to the fridge.
The bowl hit him smack in the back of the head.

The room suddenly felt cold. Zim's body went stiff and he felt a pained, sinking feeling in his chest as he was abruptly cut off from his leaders. He had heard these words before, from a varying range of other Irkens as time had passed and even from The Almighty Tallest themselves on a few occasions. But he never believed a word of it. He thought back to his existence evaluation. The Tallest had pushed his date up a couple of decades. He didn't want to come to the realization that they did that with malicious intent then. His loyalty to his leaders burned strong. The only reason he even lived through his evaluation is because his PAK was too much for the Control Brains to handle. Thinking back, he didn't realize to the full extent what was happening to him or the Brains. Just that the Brains declared him the greatest Invader ever. He hadn't thought then that it was because of his faulty PAK overwhelming them. Zim was unsure of why th

Dib walked out of the doors of the small building that he had spent way too much time in. He sighed, and began to walk in the direction of his home. It was a long walk, but he didn't mind as it usually gave him time to clear his head after his therapy sessions. It was almost completely dark out already. Dib always enjoyed being out during the night. He gazed dreamily at the stars as he walked. He was thinking about the few times that he has been out in space, thinking about the vastness of it all, and thinking about that tiny Irken who came from there; that Irken who had changed his life in many ways.
Had he met Zim under different circumstances, Dib would have loved to learn about the Irken and his race through Zim himself, but unfortunately Zim was only there for one purpose to destroy the planet that Dib so loved.

"Where have you been all day?" He asked. Zim shrugged.
"This is the only class that amuses Zim." The alien replied. Zim had his own gym clothes in hand and entered the stall next to Dib. One thing they had in common. They did not like to change in front of others. Although Dib was sure that Zim did so because his anatomy was probably different, Dib's reason for this behavior was much more personal.

"Why was it you wanted to expose your little alien lover?" Rawling replied. Dib glared at her.
"Because he was an evil alien bent on taking over the earth." He mumbled.
"Did you not want fame? Fortune? Recognition?" She asked. Dib continued to stare at her intensely.
"I just wanted the Earth to be safe." He said, although he knew he was lying. He did want those things once.
"I never got that impression before when you talked about it." The doctor said, crossing her arms and smirking at Dib. Zim stood and watched as the two had their exchange, curious as to what his human companion was

One week had passed since Dib ran into Zim at the park. Zim hadn't been in school since. Normally Dib wouldn't be concerned, Zim missed school a lot, but Zim just wasn't himself when he last saw him. He decided that he would stop by his house after his therapy session today.
"I ran into him last week on my way home from here," Dib started. He was sitting on that uncomfortable couch again. He was about halfway through his therapy session before the doctor brought Zim up this time.
"Go on." The doctor said. She looked amused. Dib was sure that this has become a joke for her over time. Dib sighed.
"He seemed upset about something. I tried to talk to him, but he wouldn't tell me what was on his mind." Dib continued. He was quickly ready to move onto another topic, but he knew that she would continue to pry at this.
"And by upset you mean " the doctor started.
"Sad. Depressed, even." Dib finished, looking up at the ceiling

Dib had been working on homework the entire day and his mind was starting to grow tired of it. He looked at the clock on his computer while he took a break from typing his paper for English. It was only eight o'clock. He had hoped time would go faster. He really wanted to see Zim again. He wanted to make sure that he was okay, and he just wanted to be in his presence. He wasn't sure why. He tried to type more of his paper and eventually found himself to be becoming quite useless. He saved the document and closed out.
"I can't get my mind off of him right now." Dib said aloud to himself. "I don't want to wait. I'm going over to his base." He stood up off his desk chair. He looked over to his bed where his long trench coat lay, grabbed it and threw it on over his arms. He walked over to his bedroom door and proceeded his way out of the house.
Zim was at home lying on the red couch in his living room. He had a remote in one hand a

Dib opened his eyes. The morning sun was beating in through his window. He looked down to Zim who still had a firm grip around his torso. He was asleep again, his mouth open and breathing quietly. Dib wasn't sure if he should try and get up, or if he should wait for Zim to wake up.
He looks so peaceful. Dib thought to himself. He can't recall ever being this close to the Irken before. He put his hand against his cheek.
He's soft. Dib had touched the alien before, but never with the intent to actually feel his skin. He wasn't sure exactly what to expect, but he always figured his skin would be rough. He noticed a slight shimmer where the sunlight touched. He rubbed his thumb against Zim's cheek. He felt that sinking feeling in his chest again.
I can't imagine how he must feel right now, knowing his leaders just wanted to get rid of him. He's been trying so hard. Dib thought. He wasn't sure where to take his

"I don't think you're going to fit." Zim said, looking up at the air duct he came in through. He and Dib were both standing now. "You're too tall and your head's too big."
"My heads not big " Dib mumbled.
"We'll have to figure something else out." Zim continued, ignoring Dib's comment.
"What do you suggest? That's the only way out of this room from the inside." Dib replied.
"Hmmm " Zim put his hand to his chin. "I could disguise myself as one of the people who work here." He started. "And then maybe we can just walk out."
"And how are you going to get said disguise? You're in here." Dib said.
"Someone's going to have to come in here eventually. I'll just take their uniform." Zim replied. Dib sighed. He didn't have any better ideas. But he also had no idea when the next time someone would be in the room was. He walked over to the wall in front of them and sat down against it. Zim followed him. He sat down next to the human

Dib had just walked out of the door abruptly when Zim grabbed his uniform and threw it on over his head. He walked over by the door and grabbed his lenses and wig and put them on as well.
"Who does that human think he is just leaving me like that!" the Irken shouted. "I'll show him "
Zim quickly left his base after Dib left, following silently behind him and out of sight. After following the human all the way across town he found himself in front of a small building. "Fix the Crazy Here", he read.
"Eh?" Zim wasn't sure what to make of the building. He peeked in the window to see Dib walking back through a long corridor behind some woman. He went around the building to try and find the room that they went to. All of the windows had blinds over them, so Zim had difficulty finding the right room. He eventually heard the familiar voice of his human and he stopped to listen.
"How was your week, Dib?" Doctor Rawling asked.

Fortunately, for nearly everyone else in the crappy little town, they were indoors, watching television and drinking cold beverages. Not so fortunately, Dib was the person the sun was beaming down on.
It didn't do much to increase his good mood. Not that there had been much of a good one in the first place. He irritatedly whipped away a droplet of sweat that was rolling its way down his forehead. Why was his house so far away? Why was it so freaking

But, now he was 23 and the alien was giving up. Not that he wanted to or even admitted to it outright, still shielding himself behind empty plans. But, there was something in his eyes. Those maroon orbs usually so violently flickering back and forth, narrowing with greed were dull.
So, Dib knew. And he watched the Irken, his greatest enemy and possibly his only friend walk away down their neighborhood, head bent to the sidewalk. The setting sun painted his green skin a light orange. He knew what Zim was walking away from, what the irken was denying. The same he'd always denied.

He was sure if it was possible he would murder in the cruelest way possible any and all wild animals that could eat, spread disease or go rabid.
Zim detested the sun for it burned and caused things such as 'strokes'.

There was construction machines, electricity, sharp objects and poison. Swallow able objects, fatty food, and rope.

Zim clutched onto Dib as he felt those arms bring him in close, grateful that Dib hadn't decided to give up right then. His breath came out shakily as his 'spooch beat so hard that it shook the small frame of the alien.
At this moment, Zim was only aware of the human that held him. It didn't matter that he had his wig on, and his antennae were hindered by the fabric; Zim knew that even without it, he would only be able to sense Dib. Enveloped by his warmth and scent, Zim couldn't think of anyplace he'd rather be.

I lost a leg while getting it for you but, it was worth it." Once the ice cream was handed off, the teen walked over to the register to pay for their cones, wondering if the old man recognized him. From the dimness in his expression, Dib guessed 'no'. Somehow it was both a relief and a disappointment
Zim rolled his eyes at Dib. He liked the idea of Dib being his faithful knight, but the human's obvious sarcastic tone was ruining the imagery.

Dib's glasses, which were much too large for his face began slipping down as the boy peered around the corner and into the living room where their scrawny tree stood, with its bare branches. Well, bare except for a few tiny bulbs in the shapes of various mythical creatures; bigfoot, moth men, werewolves, monsters of the unusual sorts and of course UFOs.
Dib loved UFOs. Well, he loved the paranormal in general. But, to be as specific as possible, Dib loved Aliens. He adored what they stood for. Life outside of this tiny, crude planet. How they had so many possibilities. So much amazing technology. And of course those funny limbs and eyes.

That had haunted him in his dreams ever since and today was the same. Except for the fact that Dib was 19 now and the subject wasn't under a sheet with scientists laughing around his dead body. Yet. Instead it was locked in a giant clear cube. It had a bed and a toilet but little else.

"So basically, we feel each other up and the first one to freak out loses?" Zim asked to make sure.
Keef nodded eagerly.
Zim smirked. "Dib-thing, would you like to play with Zim?"
Dib blushed, pushing his glasses a little further up his nose, and nodded.

Waking up with a headache was not one of the most pleasant things in the world. But it's possible because someone always has to find out the persons motives to proceed further. He's used it by now and now is not the time to be complaining. He groans into his pillow as he hand hits the annoying sound of his alarm clock ringing in his ears. He sat up slowly and stood up from his dark blue sheeted bed and looks at the mirror from across the room. His hair was a complete mess from last night, that horrible fight with his white bandages around his chest. The boy shudders at the thought, tracing an index finger across a long scar from the many fights that they both had dealt with.
Everything that they've done was just a complete waste of the humans time, though he doesn't realize it... yet. Noticing he hasn't placed on his glasses, a hand reaches over to grab it, closing his eyes and slowly places it on. He opens his hazel eyes slowly and frowns at the sight. Just as he saw bef

Dib sat in his usual seat in Ms. Bitters class doodling in his blue notebook. He was drawing ghosts, vampires, the paranormal as much to be specific. He sighed and glanced up to see Ms. Bitters still echoing words of doom in the world and how it will implode on itself.
Dib however, knowing how much he knew about science, that the world wasn't going to end in some explosion, moon crashing into the ocean, or even a big earthquake. It was going to end by something even worse.
The paranormal freak turned his big head towards the right side of class to see the strange green boy. His chin was leaning on the top of his desk, as his frail arms falling over the desk in front of him. The bored look on his face was tinted with sadness and disappointment as the clock on the wall ticked louder.
Zim felt him being watched and looked over to see the Dib-human staring at him, once again. He glared at him; having no attention to deal with him. He turned his head back towards the front of the class and

What does that human think he's planning? Needing this... talk... Zim's thoughts buzzed around like an annoying bee, something he couldn't seem to get out of his head. He sat in his seat and leans back against the chair, letting his books lay on the desk. He stares boringly at the white board, seeing that the teacher wasn't here yet. She's always late since she's one of the clumsy people.
Soon however, Dib entered the classroom. He felt pairs of eyes look at him as he moved towards his seat. He knew it was the boy with the green skin condition. Zim always do this whenever Dib comes into a room as if he was observing him. Once the boy sat down, he glared his deep hazel eyes at the Irken but he sees that his eyes were looking forward to the front of the class. He blinks, confused and looks behind him to see people were chatting among themselves. Am I just over thinking things? He scratches the back of his head and looks forward once more, waiting for their English teacher t

Zim couldn't wipe that smirk off his face. He found this very amusing to see a specie that didn't try to kill him yet, and is actually talking in his language! "Dib sounds like something a scientist would name a human like you."
Dib's eyes widen but just smiles. "Well you guessed correctly. My father's a scientist and I'm his son." His smile turned to a frown. Why and I even telling him about my personal life? I mean for Christ's sake. He's a complete stranger! An alien at that!
Zim blinked and sat up; holding onto the side of his abdomen. "Will you let Zim stay here for a short amount of time to heal?" He asked, hoping for a good answer coming from the big, headed human.
Dib turned to look at Zim and smiled. "If you promise not to kill me, then yes." He laughed a bit at his own joke; having to cover his mouth to regain his nor

His eyes open wide and gulps; starting to pull away again. He successfully is freed and starts running.

"Never!" He continues to run; hoping he could get away from the crazy alien.
He growls and runs a little faster.

The weekend was here and it began with a normal Saturday morning, birds chirping through the boys window and the deadly light of the sun beaming on the mirror, lighting up the whole room with such a warm essence. It was not on a school day so he didn't have to worry about waking up early in the morning. But he would still like to get up early, do his necessary needs like showers and breakfast. Gaz would still be sleeping from staying up all night waiting for her Pig Fright Night marathon. Eventually his father, Professor Membrane asked Dib to bring her up to her room. Let's just say that he almost didn't make it out of there alive.
Up bright and early, Dib stretched his arms upwards and slid his glasses on. The scars on his pale torso grimaced and it only made Dib do the same. Sighing heavily, Dib kicked his feet off the bed placed on his pants, staying out of his shirt to go downstairs to make breakfast. The scythe locked hair boy has his mind once again clouded with thoughts. If he h

Quotes (104)
Kahlan: Not me, it is the prophecy. Zedd: Prophecy be damned! I averted the prophecy when I brought him here, until you opened a nice little door into the boundary and said, "Right this way to the Seeker, ladies and gentlemen!"
Kahlan: (to Zedd) Now take me to the Seeker. Zedd: He's here. Kahlan: Him? But... But he's... Zedd: What? Not good enough? You wanted a Seeker, there he is. If he's not up to your standard, well, that's fine by me. Find yourself another.
Richard: (about Darken Rahl's army) And I'm supposed to fight them, alone? Zedd: What do we look like boy, grilled sardines?
Zedd: Lesson Number One, Seeker: Sometimes to gain ground you need to slow down. Richard: That doesn't make sense. Kahlan: Never expect sense from a wizard. Zedd: Especially a hungry one. I'm not good on an empty stomach.
Kahlan: (after Richard has destroyed the Book of Counted Shadows) But what about all the secrets the book was said to contain? How will he defeat Rahl without knowing them? Zedd: Well, it appears the Seeker's quest isn't going to come with an instruction manual.
Richard: (hunting a rabbit) He's getting away! Kahlan: Whose fault is that? Richard: I said wait for my signal, then flush him out. Kahlan: I waited, he didn't. (Zedd shoots fire at the rabbit, completely obliterating it) Zedd: Did I get it?
(Sebastian is selling the third identical map to track the Seeker) Bounty Hunter: This will take me to the Seeker? Sebastian: Yes. It's a one-of-a-kind item, and as my best customer, I wanted to give you first chance at it.
Kahlan: We should get going soon. Richard: Oh, come on, what's the hurry? Kahlan: If you're going to need to rescue every damsel in distress, there's no time to waste.

Trivia (37)
In this episode, Kahlan tells Richard she is a Confessor. In the book, "Wizard's First Rule", she refuses to tell Richard this until they are well into the Midlands.
In the book "Wizard's First Rule", the Book of Counted Shadows has already been destroyed and now only exists in Richard's mind, as his father forced him to memorize it. Kahlan is already the Mother Confessor at the start of the book, which is symbolized by the fact that she wears a white dress, and Richard's father, George, is already dead. In the book, Richard is attacked by the snake vine prior to meeting Kahlan. In the book, Kahlan Amnell's eyes are famously green. Terry Goodkind constantly references that. The actress playing her in the series, Bridget Regan's eyes are remarkably blue. Also, Kahlan is unarmed in the book until given a knife by Chase. In this episode, Kahlan is dismissive and distrustful of Richard, even after the attack at the cliff. In the book, she is very grateful, even shocked, by Richard's intervention, and is happy to have him escort her to Hartland. This is helped by the fact that Richard only asks her once how they defeated the men at the cliff and then decides to let it go when it is obvious she doesn't want to tell him. The scene at the cliff is actually very true to the book. In the book, all the men of the quad that attacks at the cliff are killed; whereas here, the leader, Rannsyn Fain, somehow survives.
Although not stated on the show, in the books Chase's full name is Dell Brandstone.
Book Difference: In the books, Richard does not only know Zedd as a crazy old man with whom he never speaks but instead Zedd is a friend and even a kind of mentor to Richard.
The character Fain does not exist as he does in the show. The Quads are a nameless unit that is killed at the start of the book when Richard finds Kahlan. In the book it is Rahl, not Fain that kills Richard's father. There is no artillery that brings down the barrier in the book. Instead the magic is gradually fading. In addition, the group makes their way through the barrier not do to a breach, but to through a secret path which Adie helps guide them through. Richard's bone necklace is key to this. In the book, the night wisp Shar doesn't die stopping an arrow, but instead is killed by being away from her homeland even though she knows that finding the Seeker will be a suicide mission.
Zedd never warns Richard about caring for Kahlan in the book. Instead, he warns Kahlan to never use her power on Richard. Also, in the book, Richard is the one that figures out that Chase would know a way through the boundary. Here Richard is specifically told that he will use the Sword of Truth to kill Darken Rahl. In the book, Zedd directly tells him that he can NOT use the Sword to kill Darken Rahl. The scene where Kahlan acquires her traveling clothes is very true to the book, where she got her clothes and a knife from Chase's house. During the final fight scene, we see men on horses advance with the D'Harans towards the opening in the Boundary. However, no cavalrymen make it through to the other side. This would be consistent with the first two episodes though, as we never see anyone ride a horse through the Boundary. Both times Ransynn Fain approached the Boundary, he got off his horse and went by foot.
During the big battle at the end of the episode, Kahlan's outfit changes from the one she was wearing when the battle started that Chase's daughter makes her to her white robes.
This story does not appear in the book. The Skarin however are mentioned as chasing the group near the border.
Lesson 15: In honoring what others most honor, the Seeker shall win their hearts.
Allusions (1)
Kahlan: What color are my eyes? This is a creative allusion by the writers to the fact that Bridget Regan has blue eyes, while the Kahlan Amnell of the books has famously green eyes.

BeefTalk: Individual tracking system not ready for prime time
The Dickinson Research Extension Center has been actively evaluating the many processes involved in the electronic tracking of cattle. The early prognosis is simple: The industry is not ready for the implementation of a uniform, nationally recognizable numbering system for individual animal identification as called for in the U.S. animal identification plan. This same plan, developed by the national identification development team, also identified the need for a uniform premises identification system. The implementation of the premises allocation process and subsequent utilization of the premises number seems to be on track. The center had excellent success in tracking cattle from premises to premises utilizing existing paper records available from individual producers and local brand inspectors in combination with sale transaction records available through commonly accepted marketing channels. The initial trace, from the calf's birthplace premises (premises 1) to the next owner's premises (premises 2) was 99.5 percent effective. It appears the trace from premises 2 to the next ownership transfer at premises 3 will be more difficult. The primary difficulty will be commingled and re-sorted cattle. The trace from premises 2 to premises 3 can be accomplished, but more personnel will be needed. Cattle can be traced by paper records, provided the records are accurate, legible and completely filled out. It may be very inefficient to trace cattle lots composed of multiple previous owners manually. Once the actual assignment and utilization of premises identification numbers is complete, the tracking of cattle lots from premises to premises should be quite effective. Unfortunately, as noted earlier, premises-to-premises tracking does not and will never track individual animals. The tracking of individual animals will require the implementation of additional technology and associated education throughout the industry. The center, through the efforts of the CalfAid team, actively is evaluating the current state of tracking equipment. The results are mixed and only marginally successful at any point. Two areas of concern surface immediately. The complexity of sorting through the multitude of commercial players and networks literally can bring one to tears. The problem is magnified by the careless and casual use of the term "ISO." The common reply is "yes," we are ISO- compliant. What is ISO? ISO stands for International Organization of Standardization. Therefore, as quoted from the ISO Web site, "ISO is able to act as a bridging organization in which a consensus can be reached on solutions that meet both the requirements of business and the broader needs of society, such as the needs of stakeholder groups like consumers and users." The immediate challenge the CalfAid team encountered was the lack of consensus among contributing players in the electronic identification (EID) business, with no regard for the stakeholders involved. The result is the removal of ISO-compliant EID tags that meet the open standard for mass usage in the industry and replacement with EID tags that meet the needs of individual users, more commonly called a closed system. The second challenge, given the lack of true compatibility across systems, is the lack of a defined acceptable level for transponder performance. Simply put, even if the EID tags do meet the true ISO specifications, there is no guarantee the tags can be read with any level of reliability. At least the center is not out of work. More to come. May you find all your ear tags.
