"So Prince Carlos is dead, and you miss are the new Dragon King? You tell me that Lady Hemera pointed you towards me?" Professor Adams said. He was passing up and down inside the royal library. Morthia figured that this place was more down to ship than the throne room. "Why in dragon's name would she do that?"
"Because you were a friend to both our mothers." Drayk replied. "And because of your two articles about the Dark Matter and the Lost planets." Professor Adams nodded slowly. Morthia was at first shocked when the man entered. She had seen a picture of him earlier that morning, only it was a far cry of the man in front of her. His clothes were old and dirty, his gray hair needed a comb. His beard was overgrown and needed a good trim. Under his eyes were beep blue bags, which wouldn't go with enough rest in his lifetime. But his brown eyes, were shining, so the mind of the man was sharp, at least she hoped that this was the case. The man sat down in one of the large chairs, which were a new edition to the library. He sighed, Morthia looked at Drayk, to see what he thought of the situation.
"Alright, alright. I still do not know why you need my help, but I at least can share my knowledge." He said, she nodded this much was fair. "The Dark Matter is currently were the lost planets were." He started. "This much is known to the public, which is not known and deducted from the history books is that those planets exploded due to over mining. The other planets and moons are heading to a similar fate, if you do not change it." Morthia was shocked, her siblings and her grandparents were currently on Valeron. A moon where the most Dragonsteel comes from, but there is one other point. They needed Dragonsteel, and the Dragonfire Crystals to survive. Or did they.

"Crux." The butler was standing in the corner of the room, listing to every word that was being said. "I want a list of all the Dragonsteel and Dragonfire Crystals we currently have in stock." Crux nodded and left the room. "Now that was the first step, I think we can cut back mining of this stuff. Closing a few mines on each planet and moon. Change the miners into farmers, teachers and all what you need to make a normal living." She looked at Professor Adams and he nodded. "We need to change the laws and the way of thinking. Minister Hemera..." The former Commander Derock stepped forward, she had appointed him to be her minister of news. "Go and spread Professor Adams, original works to the public. Also spread the news that we are working on it, but that changes like this are not made overnight." Minister Hemera bowed and left with his task.
"Now that is set in motion, sit down and have something to eat." Drayk said. "At least, Crux has pushed back the date of your test." She moaned again. There was so much work to be done, more problems that she needed to solve in one lifetime. But all what that butler could think of was testing her. But this was her own fault, she sat down behind the desk and put a slice of toast in her mouth.
"The two of you look so much like your mother's." Professor Adams said. "Both of them were dreamers, but they also worked hard to realize those dreams. And the two of you are right now doing the same thing."
"I hope I am doing the right thing." Morthia said. "Professor, I am glad to have you here with use. And right now I am feeling guilty of what I am going to ask." He nodded, waiting for her to continue. "Can you look for a small army of bright minded people, like I said to Minister Hemera, the changes are not made overnight. But I want to make them and these people can help use with that." Professor Adams nodded.
"Leave it to me, my King."
