Chapter 3: The Men in Green
In the Grand Palace, in the city of Sadera, the emperor of the land sat on a secondary throne as the Imperial Senate joined him in discussing their embarrassing defeat to Japan's Self Defense Force.
Senator: Sixty thousand of our men were mercilessly slaughtered at the hands of these men in green at Alnus Hill, all the while, was reported on their end! Senator Godasen, as well as a few others barely escaped alive in a retreat! So I ask you, your grace, what do you supposed we do!?
Molt Sol Augustus: We will have to torch the villages between here and Alnus Hill; Burn all the crops, poison the wells, and bring our livestock this way. That should keep their armies from using our food and water. Then we can plan out a counterattack.
Senator: A scorched land policy... But with the gate in their hands, I do not think this will have any effect on-.
Hearing the massive doors slam open, the red headed beauty of the land, princess Pina Co Lada (, entered the Grand Palace, approaching her father and the Senate in a state of anger.
Pina: Your majesty!
Sol Augustus: Princess Pina Co Lada. Whatever are you here for?
Pina: It was my understanding that we were defeated in the battle of Alnus, and that the subordinate nations have gathered their troops together in retreat. What is your majesty doing in response to this travesty!?
Senator: Obviously, we should wait to coordinate a plan and-.
Pina: Wait for a plan!? The enemy is right on our doorstep. We need to act now!
Senator: Do you not hear yourself, princess!? Or were you not aware of the casualties we've taken on Alnus Hill alone!?
Another person entered the Grand Palace, slamming the doors open once more. This time, one of the king's many servants. Running towards everyone, the tattered man yelled out in horror.
Servant: Your majesty! Princess! Senators! You must come see what has been summoned at our front door!
Sol Augustus: What is it?
Servant: I....I can't explain it, but please!
As the servant ran back out, everyone soon followed as a massive crowd encircled the object. As the senators moved the crowd aside, the king, the princess, and the two princes stood in front of the unknown object that glowed in front of them.
Citizen: What is it!?
Citizen: I don't know!
Raising his hand, the emperor silenced everyone around him. Approaching the object, he placed his hand on the glowing mark, causing it to brighten a little more. Seeing this, the ruler backed up in response as the object spoke in a deep, grim tone of voice.
"
As the testament came to an end, the object began to melt away into the ground, disappearing forever as the crowd stared at one another in horror. The oldest prince was the first to speak up.
