Imperial Capital of Freyr Empire 363 A.E (After Empire)
In one of the Grand Halls of the Royal Palace sounds of people cheering, laughing, dancing and clapping could be heard over the sounds of flute and harp and various other instruments combining their melodies to mesmerize the demanding audience.
Taking a peek inside, one could see countless nobles spanning from the low rank to the high dancing at the the center of the room while others joyfully eating exotic food and drinking expensive blood red wine, devouring it gluttonously spilling most of it at the marble white floor that previously sparkled under the light of the grand chandeliers with golden linings and diamonds hanging from the candle edges giving off a stunning spectacle of milliards of colors glistening on the white spherical curved ceiling with dozens of white statues and pillars giving of a roman feeling in the gigantic room only to be contrasted by the fancy clothing worn by the various nobles decorated by diamonds, sapphires, rubies and other precious stones.
At the end of the room, separated from all by some meters distance a lone table could be seen and at one side of it 7 figures giving of majestic auras of unbounded arrogance and pride sited there observing their guests.
At the center was sitting a fat man, around 30 years old with healthy rosy puffy cheeks betraying the immeasurable fat hidden under his cloak made of fur with silver and golds linings covering his body enough for the rest to be unseen by the table if not one was standing on top of it.
With light brown hair decorated by a golden crown , dark brown beady eyes, a twirling mustache and a well kept goat like beard starting from under his lips and ending just beneath the chin, that was the man named Alleyn. Emperor Alleyn de Monach the 3d to be exact .
To his left a marvelous woman around the same age as him was seated. She was a little chubby but not on the same level as her husband, with dark black hair, fair pale skin only to be blemished by a little dark mall just under the right side of her voluptuous lips and emerald green eyes, that was Empress Isolt de Monach.
At the left and right sides of the couple where the princesses and princess of this Great Empire spanning from ages from 9 to 20. From the left of the Empress where the three princesses and from the right of the emperor where the two princess sited with the eldest closer to the Royal couple.
Silence spanned on the royal table with the only noise the golden spoons clacking on the expensive ceramic dishes and the sickening munching of the emperor making his food disappear in great speed as he forgot to breath while slurping the soup like substance on his plate, spilling most of it on the tableware made of silk and gold, only to be disturbed by a subtle couching meant to draw their attention.
The Emperor looked behind his shoulder only to be greeted by the image of a hooded figure dressed in pure white robs kneeling.
“Speak” said a cold baritone voice with arrogance emanated form within its pores.
“My Emperor, the Great Sage reports it's time to begin”
“Humph” “ Tell him to get done with it”
“As you command your majesty”
As soon as it was said, the white robed figure stood , still deeply bowing with eyes downcast looking at the floor and slowly took five steps back before turning and leaving.
Emperor Alleyn de Monach the 3d POV
'hahaha finally .. haha it's time, I'm gonna show these barbarians my Empires might hahahha'
*sigh*
' I hope this summoning magic circle thingy works or we will become the laughingstock in front of all the nobility … What am I even thinking.... if this fails I can just blame the Great Sage, right?'
'Right, great plan oh great me'
I look at my left and there waiting is The Great Sage dressed in the same white robs as the rest of the archemages standing silently behind him with the only difference instead of a hood, a long pointy hat extended in a white mask decorated his head and on his back a golden swastika that I could only get glimpses of from my position.
He nods to me, signaling the start of our plan.
I signal the musicians with my hand raised and the music suddenly stops, only some murmurs could be heard on the background previously muffled by the music, till the perpetrators soon realize and those died down too.
I grab a crystalline glass and gently tap it on the side with my spoon.
'Good now all the gazes are on me, waiting a little to build up the tension …. Good .. Good '
I sit upright, while all the ones that where dancing went towards their tables and sat down.

Towering over everyone while their sited, I spoke.
“ As you all know, I gathered you here to day to witness the Summoning Ritual that will bring forth a Hero of unimaginable strength, a Hero able to shake the earth and split the seas and under the Empire's gaze we will nurture him or her to further our might and inevitably to defeat these dreaded demons that stand in our path since ancient times, to end the war that claimed our brothers and sisters, to end the war that claimed our fellow humans !
ALL HAIL THE EMPIRE !!”
“”ALL HAIL THE EMPIRE”” Roared the crowd.
End of POV
Somewhere in Outer Space 5134 A.C.
A giant spaceship was hovering aimlessly but if one where to observe better, he could see the subtle forward movement as rays of blue light scanned continuously the surface of planets. In reality the ship was moving at great speed, many times above the speed of sound but almost impossible to detect without a reference point creating an optical illusion of stillness.
The ship's name was New Colonization Explorer Theta or N.C.E.T. True to its name the ship took of with a hundred troops at around 5100 A.C from a frontier colonized planet belonging to the United Humanoid Galactic Ultra Empire spanning over countless planets with a great variety of humanoid species.
The interior of the ship was deathly quiet, one could even hear the engines deep bellow in the engine room.
Suddenly the silence broke from a female mechanical voice.
“Detected inhabitable planet “
“Distance time calculated 3 days”
“Initializing protocol X453344”
“Waking Explorer 1 from cryogenic sleep”
*psst*
Mist started rising as a sound similar to decompressing was heard.
The mist came from a metallic capsule with a red 01 printed on it, slow deep gasps for air were heard from within.
“ Good awaking explorer” said the mechanical female voice devoid of life.
“Relative information about the mission will be sent shortly”
“Downloading information in the in-brain implant via Spooky Quantum Connection”
“1% .. 100%”
“Exploration shuttle will be launched shortly”
“Inventory Check”
“Light Suit ... Check”
“Hard Suit … Check”
“Inventory Check .. Check”
“Explorers Vitals … Stable”
“Nutritional Ivy Injected via Light Suit “
“Exploration Shuttle's condition … Ready for launch”
“Exploration Shuttle will launch in 3”
“2”
“1”
“Good luck explorer”
A deafening Boom echoed as the Exploration Shuttle was launched and soon exiting the Gigantic Spaceship a small capsule was ejected with great force from the side onto the unknown.
1 day passed since the launch, inside his capsule was Ren or else Explorer 1 his bright blue eyes darted from right to left as if watching something fast moving, in reality he was indeed watching something, in front of him a small hologram was formed inside his helmet, it was a console game downloaded before the mission in order for him to spend his time waiting until he reaches his destination.
The game he was playing was Rockemon Electron Blue Omega Wave controlled edition the 623th generation.
A small grumble escaped his lips “So many Rockemons, so little time, gonna catch all 3 billion of these holographic magic imbued critters before landing”
He never got to finish the game thought, as a brightly shining golden circle with images similar to hieroglyphics and strange symbols resembling a linear language formed beneath him and before he could react the circle started spinning rapidly and a gold light drowned him.
Ren's vision blurred and soon he found himself surrounded by a 101 humans wearing white robes.
“What the ...”
These words escaped his lips unwillingly making all the people around him finch.
Some words from a new Author
Firstly I thank all that wasted their time reading this, I just found out that 1400 words are not even enough to make a proper chapter so I Drakonius Authorius Solemnly swear that the next chapter will make the sidebar shrink !
Jokes aside it took me 3 hours just for this so I will get this properly done and will triple or even quadruple the words even if it becomes a weekly fiction.
And now a new Authors begging for attention
In order to get better all good keyboard randomsmashers that have a ounce for respect for themselves need a good review and pointing out the spelling and grammar mistakes.
Please leave a honest comment, best way to help !
