Chapter 15
Speaker of the Dead


Graff and Anderson were back on earth will Ender waited desperatly to get a shuttle down to earth. Ender was told that when things quieted down on earth he would be able to go home, buty after things had been settled for quite awhile and he was still on Eros whatching his friends leave one-by-one home to great big heros welcomes. He watched the videos of them praising him for teaching him everything they know and leading them through battle. He also even though they didnt whant him to watched the videos of Stilson and Bonzos deaths , and the vidoes of the lawyers and psychologists debating weather they were murders or just self deffense. Mazer told him that he shoudn't worry because they were all scared of him any way, Ender had his own oppinion but no one ever asked he thought that the biggest crime he has commited was killing all the Buggers. But now that Enders Friends had all left all he had to do was clean up the bloody mess that the league war made and recieving messages from the starships exploring the bugger worlds.

People were now crowding the hallways at Eros, they were colonists getting ready to go to the buggers worlds and start a new world. He would help as much as he could no one really listened to him so he told the adults who would listen his ideas and let them present them as there own. Everyone knew him now his face was farmiliar to everyone, people from the colonies would come up to him embracing him and congradulating him and showing him the children they named after him, he decided to avaoid the tunnels were they lived. Ender didnt really have much use of his old job so he learned to work on the shuttles one day when he was at the new ISL they told him through his helmet radio that someone was waiting there for him he didnt hurry because he couldn't think of anyone he really wanted to talk to. He was a little annoyed when the person was waiting outside of the change room he had been showering in , it took him a few seconds before he realized it was his sister Valentine. They went to his room and talked and she told him she was heading on the first Starship to the first coloney and that she wanted him to come and be the governer. She told him that no matter what he was not going back on earth and that this was his last chance of freedom. He agreed to go with her as Governer not for her but so he could learn more about the thing he had distroyed.

On the trip Valentine Finished writing the first volume of The Buggers War, and Ender had won the love and respect of the people of his colonly. When they go to Enders world he worked hard to find out many things about the land and how to farm it. He learned about the weather and about the wild animals they had and the way the Buggers worked and cared for there young. Now they had been living on this planet for years and they were only waiting for new colonies to come so they would have neighbors that they could teach the way of life. Then one day Ender got message by ansible that the colony was only a year away and that he needed to find a place for them to leave that was the right distance away from his own collony. So Ender and an eleven year old boy Abra went by helocopter to the right distance away and explored on foot for the perfect place for them to live. On the third morning Ender had a weird feeling like he had been there before and at that moment Abra called Ender to look what he had found. He discribed it as if a giant had died there and the earth grew around him and Ender realized that the buggers had made him this to resemble the game he used to play in battle school. He looked far enuff that he could see were the end of the world should be so him and Abra took the copter to were the castle tower was and he made Abra wait for him at the copter when he climbed up and into the castle.

In the room that the buggers made for Ender every thing looked exactly as he remembered, he thought back to everything that happened to him in here. Then Ender went to the mirror and took it off the wall as he thought about how many times the snakes can out and killed him, but when he took the mirror of the wall there was in the hollow space in the wall a silk white pupa of a bugger queen he then started to see himself helping it to survive and produce more he didnt know how he could even imagine how it worked like that. He realized that the hive queen was trying to speak to him through his thoughts. He new he could not help them survive because they would just have to fight them off again. Ender he made the decision to take the pupa with him and find it a place one day were they can live in peace. He went back out to the copter with the pupa wrapped in his coat and when Abra asked him what was inside he told him the answer to his question and that was all. They searched for 5 more days and when they found the spot they flew back to there colony. In about a week Ender showed Valentine a passage he had written, it was written as if the Hive queen were speaking she was apologizing and forgiving the human race, she even welcomed them to her planet and hoped they would be able to use it as good or better than they did at the bottom of if it he signed Speaker of The Dead. The book was published quietly on earth but soon enough everyone had read it, and for some it became a religion they lived by, if anyone past away they would have some one speak on their behalf the way Ender did for the Hive Queen. For people on earth it was only religion for some but for the ones on the bugger planets it was the only religion. At age 25 Valentine published the last volume of The Bugger Wars and at the end she inserted the whole content of Enders book but did not say he wrote it. A few weeks later Valentine received a message by ansible form her brother who is now 77 and dieing from a failing heart the message said that he knows who the Speaker for the Dead is and that he would like him to speak for him after he id dead. Peter and Ender Exchanged messages for awhile until Peter died then Ender wrote his second book which he signed again as Speaker For the Dead and his books the Hegemon and Hive Queen became holy write. Later ender and Valentine decided to travel the universe traveling from world to world to find a place for the bugger world to be established.
