As the king slept harmoniously on his bed, his eyes shut were flickering as if he was awake somewhere else.
Meanwhile, a man was approaching the king's chambers. A tall, handsome man with black hair, fully clothed, holding a tablet against his chest. As he was walking he smiled looking at the gardens below. Looked at the night sky full of stars and bright moonlight on the surrounding areas. While taking the steps he was planning in his mind what to say to the king. As soon as the doors of the king's chambers were in his sight he looked himself and approved that he was ready. After approaching the main gates outside of the king’s chambers the man nodded to the guards. Guards immediately knocked on the door and waited for the other side to reply. Silent for a few seconds they repeated their knock. This time a woman answered; “Come”.
The doors were opened and the man gashly entered the chambers. In front of him, he saw a wide staircase dividing a center window where he could see lights in the distance. And moonlight was shining on an object as the object passed from left to right. Small lights were flickering on the object, the man thought it must be a harvester ship. The scene was so mesmerizing that he almost didn't notice that he stepped on something. He looked down at the feet and saw it was a book. He could see the name, but as he looked around, he wondered how the book ended up here. He saw the room full of books, shelves Climbing towards the roof. Books filled every shelf. Some books were on the ground as if they were thrown aside as if someone was looking for a treasure. Immediately the man became cautious and thought where is the king, is he safe?
“Solaris”,
Solaris mumbled ; “My King”
A voice echoed from the corner of the library. Solaris at once followed the echo and saw a man sitting on a long wingback chair holding a book in his hands. Some books were on the side table and some were right beside his feet. As soon as he heard his name his heartbeat dropped and started a conversation.
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
“Sire we received some messages from the outer rim.”
Solaris spoke.
He paused, waiting for a response, but the king simply nodded. Solaris took this as a sign to continue,
‘There have been reports of border skirmishes between your lords and their subjects,’
Solaris said, hesitating briefly. “Additionally, we received a distress call from a dying planet. They seek aid.”
The king’s shoulders sagged, and his gaze fell, the weight of the news etched in his expression.He said
“Any plans to save them?” He continued “Did we sent someone?”
Solaris replied,
“No sire not yet”,
Solaris was about to say something but the king interrupted,
“I have something to say, please sit” The king paused and then continued,
“drink?”
Solaris shook his head from side to side,
King continued,
“I saw a dream, it was like an ecognition, I saw I traveled through the stars, God ordered me to find these people whose world is dying”.
Solaris abruptly spoke,
“What are the orders sire”.
The king paused, his gaze distant as if lost in the memory of his vision. Then, with a determined expression, he replied, “The orders are clear. We must embark on a journey across the cosmos, to seek out those in need and offer them salvation”.
“Prepare the Way”.
the king ended his sentence.
Solaris stood up and replied,
“At once sire”.
Solaris left the room in a hurry and pressed his right index finger on the left wrist bracelet and spoke
“Prepear the way”.
Meanwhile in the shipyard bay, In a tall tower a man was sitting in his chair looking at multiple radars on the screens when his attention was diverted to a call he received and he placed his right hand on the keyboard and pressed a button and spoke,
‘Yes sir,’
Solaris: ‘prepeare the way’
Then with a few seconds of silence he said,
‘Ay general.’
Then he placed his headphones on the table in front and stood up and gazed at a ship. The ship had the name written “The Way.”
