THE FALL OF EMPIRE I

it was a grand hall lit with radiance , various sculptures of lion like creatures , paintings depicting the galactic conquest of Sawel empire. But for all the advances in technology the throne room was as ancient as it could have been, carpet covered the entire floor on its both sides were chairs mostly empty,there were 7 men sitting 3 on left and 4 on right and a behemoth of Sawelion sat on the throne ,he wore a long under tunic made with silk like material and hilightend a deep golden embroidery of a snake , he had a staff on his hand similar to his height (2m), a basic staff a perfect geometrical representation of cylinder .he roared

"Ambi why have you all of us now ,is it the same issue or something else"

opposite to him stood a lean man , with all human features, a bald head no particular striking feature ,he wore a regular suit ,a serene atmosphere adorned his face shoulders broad as if he was free of any burden ,he spoke with a mellow tone.

"dev ,same issue you say but here i stand in front of you doing my job fulfilling my role and for that ,i am duty bound to state whatever misgivings i find in this government ,i am honor bound to state it infront you not ploy in your back and i am conscience bound to rid of all the injustice that i see with these eyes, now i find not only are coffers draining without apt reasons and the warnings of upcoming enemy are ignored "

as soon as he said his piece the temperature of hall dropped to freezing chillness

the remaining ministers had a panic on their faces but the facade of high and mighty never dropped "dev the royal advisor accuses us of thievery ,this insolence will not go unpaid, how foolish of me to come to thia obselete meeting "

with that said a minister in red cape shot out with 5 others to leave the hall ,but still 1 more remained , so he shouted again with anger in his eyes"gandhar are you coming or shall we see fit what shall be you punishment ".

the advisor in a mocking tone said " oh how the mighty have fallen ,dev it is none other than your incompetence that led to this disaster ,not only your people are being ransacked by the people in court ,you are allowing it blindfold"

"you dare to speak with me like that ,i am your king,i shall do what i please,i know of all that is needed my decisions are final and if you're questioning the kingdom you question me "

" and that is my job dev , if you can't breath my adivise i shall very well leave "

"you dare"

the atmosphere was heating up, the king was raising his spiritual pressure but advisor was relentless .

"as you are now ,you are not my king ,i do not serve the king but the kingdom,if you can't even recognize the rats underneath your nose and fail to see the enemy in you horizon i may very well find someone who will be a better king "

now the relationship b/w the advisor and king was beyond salvation.

"who will you find , my daughter ,she will become the ruler one day you might serve her ,as for other options nothing in this universe has the power or potential to usurp the Sawelion throne"

" princess is too selfish and too powerful to become the king her personality makes a good general but king it is not and i will see it to that my task is done even if i have to serve a run down planet i will none the less serve someone who deserves it and you dev are not the one "

"you have gotten bold advisor ,if not for the honor of lord father i would have had you dead by now"

" and if it were not for his honor i would have left this place long ago, so i return this ,coin my memento of service to your lord father and my king ,i shall take my leave may your kingdom prosper and may you have never have to beg for my assistance, fare well"

the heated argument was over in a flash ,Ambi was now a man on mission he will find a worthy king , no matter where, he will find one and make sure that his Kingdom prospers

(scene changes )

it would understatement to say glactic civilizations were vary of humans now ,it had been only a decade since the humans united as one ,and now the race was advancing at an unprecedented rate, humans had already achieved complete control of their planet by the duration of first 6 years and now they were eying to exploit their solar system ,humans had developed their own spaceships whose speed very well rivaled that of the most advanced civilizations and their warp drives were just deployed for testing ,every race wanted to know if there was some help involved and they also wanted to invest in humanity but there was a big issue , the Sawel empire which ruled the area seemed to be un interested ,to them it was still an undeveloped colony, many wanted to capture the place but they couldn't ,the Sawels though crazy were a strong force ,and no one tress passed their territory unharmed .Among the earth dwellers a human had caught interest of many 'dr Matil da Roza' she on her own had developed the entirety of human space program, if not for her interstellar space might have remained a dream for humans,

amidst the galactic chaos humans were advancing rapidly and their anchor was developing psychologically ,

" it seems these people wont let me visit the darker side of the world"

Shan contemplated about the past he knew the world was torn with hunger ,disease ,war ruthless governments and he also knew no matter how many advances were made as a civilization these things will remain forever.

in all of his life's experience he concluded for a society to function there would always be extremes ,the rich and poor those blessed with might and brain those cursed with death and decay.it was all a cycle and it could not be broken .he simply wanted to help all he could whatever little feasible ,but no , all in the name of mental distress he was denied to visit certain places .

unknown to him ,he was evolving ,his very body was changing ,the genetic program he completed had enhanced his body and mind to the absolute limit and now he was reacting to his surroundings ,matter X as humans called it he could sometimes feel it, though still not aware of what it was.

"what wastefull 2 years ,might as well had stayed at base helping Roza" with these thoughts he decided it was time to meet her.
