These are the cut opening scenes of "Eternal Spirit Bond". Seven chapters that were cut, with some overlap to connect the two stories. These scenes include domestic abuse with severe injuries. Therefore, this prelude includes a trigger warning and will not be found in the main story, but this prelude was created for those wanting to read the cut scenes. A Deaf telepathic Ianni woman flees her abusive Terran husband, who is possessed and controlled by enemy forces. She escapes her husband, with her younger sister, two daughters, and several injuries, hours before ANI kidnaps her from her brother-in-law’s ship, as the Imperium War rages in the Interplanetary Alliance sector. Just what happened that caused two women and two little girls to run to their sister and brother-in-law’s ship? Why does an ultra-powerful species kidnap the Deaf Ianni ascending matriarch, placing her on an ally ship in Deep Space? Why didn't the captain of the Knarr stop her husband before it became serious? What happened on Rhett’s ship shortly after ANI took Rhianna?
