Introduction
There are billions of galaxies in the universe.And in those galaxies are
millions of solar systems.In those solar systems are planets.
This means that earth is just a single rock in the bottom of the sea.
Now go across the universe.Go to a whole other galaxy.a whole other solar
system.Go to the 4th planet from the sun.The people that inhabit it call
it Luna,after one of their gods.These events take place right after this
planet's industrial revolution.
The
Crononian Rebellion
prologue
Nauros Taukeek walked into the house of nobles, leaning on his cane.
Today he would address the Lunarian parliament and get them to sign his
treaty, or declare war on Lunaria.
He reached out and slammed the brass knocker upon the giant double doors.
He heard the loud, clang echo through the house. He then waited for
several minutes. He had expected them to make him wait. Finely, the doors
opened.
Nauros entered the house, and was immediately greeted by a large blast of
heat. He looked around. He saw that this "house"
actually had a perimeter of about hundred and fifty meters. In the center
of this "house" was mostly barren. The walls on the left and right were
filled with the chairs of members of Parliament, which were mostly also
members of the royal family. Directly in front of where he entered he saw
Sarem, the head of Parliament and the Duke of Lurk, sitting in a giant
chair behind an exceptionally large desk. Sarem sat there. Grinning.
"What can I do for you, Nauros?" Sarem asked with mock politeness.
"You know damn well what you can do for me!!! You can sign my friggin
treaty!!! Nauros had know idea what had set him off like that; he was
usually a calm and reserved man that rarely lost his temper. Maybe it was
the years of waiting for Parliament to even look at his treaty; maybe it
was the way Sarem had played dumb. "Oh well", thought Nauros, "the wait is
over. They will either sign the treaty today, or go to war."
" Ah, yes, the treaty. Well, we have merely glanced at it. If you give us
a little bit longer, we can examine it more thoroughly and give some
suggestions as to revise it." Sarem said, his words dripping with honey.
"No. You sign it now, the way it is, or go to war."
"Nauros, you are just being unreasonable and impatient. If you were to
wait just a little longer......"
"I have waited long enough!! I have waited five years!! That's five years
off my life; five years!!! I dont kid myself about my state of health;
it's obvious to even the least perceptive of people I'm dyeing. If I'm
lucky, I might live three years more!That would make me
Twenty-five!Twenty-five!! For you it's just a couple of years! For me
it's a fifth of my life!!And, I'm not going to die without the treaty
being signed or us going to war!!!"
"US?" said Sarem exploding "Who the hell is 'us'? A few farmers with some
pistols? Maybe some retired old solders?! You are fooling yourself
Nauros!! You have no army!!"
" Then you refuse to sign the treaty?"
" YES! I refuse to sign the treaty!!!"
"FINE!!THEN I DECLARE WAR UPON LUNARIA!!!
