Space Galactic Battles Pre Chronicles
Act One The Founding of the Stari Order
Chapter 1 Finding the Artifact
A company of explorers on the lands of Bruntan (Ancient Sandeas) are simply exploring the galaxy. The worlds are connected by warp gates which allow for transportation between planets. A great discovery is about to be made. One that will change everything.
[A camp at night]
Jennifer Lanclos is a woman of a dark complexion and a fairly young age.
What a dull night here as usual.
She says.
Rajon Williams, a young man of average height with spikey hair says, Yes unfortunately. The galaxy is big, but there’s just not much to see. Where should we go tomorrow Kamald?
Kamald Tinthe is the senior leader of the group. He is 5’11 and older than his comrades with peach skin and long mustache. Kamald looks at his colleagues and says, Hmm on the morrow we shall…wait look!
The clouds part with a great light. A huge object, a ship crash lands in a nearby mountain.
Rajon says, Wha…what is it?
Kamald says, I have no clue.
Jennifer says, Let us check it out quickly!
The 3 explorers walk up into the mountain…what will they find?
Rajon says, It’s some sort of metal ship….like the ones on the Felinoral lands but its huge!
Jennifer says, Yes of course. A sign and another reminder that we once had advanced technology that we have lost. I say we should wait until the morning.
Kamald says, No Jennifer! We must explore the crash site before others arrive. I…I just know we’ll find something!
The 3 work their way into the demolished ship…it is very dangerous but they dive deeper. Little do they know the fallen ship is the Liberty. The ship was carrying a precious cargo. The 3 travelers use torches to light the way.
This is such a mistake Kamald.
Says Tiffany.
It won’t take long…I hope.
They find dead crew members inside the ship.
Rajon says, This looks bad!
Yeah they’re all dead.
says Tiffany.
Kamald notices there is one survivor. No, the one in the back is still alive.
The 3 walk up on the survivor who is badly injured. The survivor is wearing a strange outfit.
He looks at them and says, You…you never mind me. I am dying. Go and take the Oasiasis…Please keep it out of evil hands.
After that the man dies.
The 3 explorers walk a little further.
Rajon says, Um, I think I found what he was speaking of….LOOK!
Inside of a broken capsule is the Oasiasis. The orb floats and radiates with power.
Kamald says, I’ve never seen anything like it…This must be the Oasiasis. We must take it my comarades. I think this is the greatest find in history.
Tiffany says, Perhaps Kamald… well I can feel it… like its alive. I wonder what it does? Wel let’s put a sack over it and leave this place.
Kamald grabs it through the broken capsule. As soon as he puts it in the bag he passes out.
Chapter 2 Kamald’s Enlightenment
The power of the Oasiasis has knocked out Kamald. Luckily his 2 comrades were there to take him back to a hospital Blazenople. People ask what happened to Kamald. Rajon and Tiffany simply say they don’t know, which isn’t a lie. They really don’t know.
Kamald wakes up laying down on a bed.
Where am I? What happened to me?
Tiffany smiles, Kamald Tinthe, you had us all very afraid for you. Rajon and I carried you here to Blazenople When you touched that thing it glowed and then you were radiating with some strange light.
Rajon pitches in, It is still in our bag. I trust you don’t want Bruntan authorities to take it from us…but…
Kamald sits up smiling, I feel…incredible…it spoke to me, but not with words. With visions, visions of space…stars…living things connected to something. Something , a force, called the Order.
Kamald’s colleagues think he is delusional…
Get some rest sir.
Says Tiffany.
Yeah then we can leave.
Says Rajon quickly.
Tiffany says, Do you think he’ll be alright?
Yes. He is just recovering from what happened. We just don’t know what happened.
Kamald reaches for a cup of water. He thinks really hard about it and notices the cup move before he touches it.
Hmm that’s odd.
Wait maybe I can pull it to me. I just have to focus. He thinks.
Suddenly the cup slowly floats to Kamald’s open hand. Later Kamald is able to focus lift a book, then a chair.
Kamald shows his new abilities to his comrades. For Kamald, these techniques came easily. Rajon and Jennifer had to try harder but were eventually able to focus on objects as well. It is clear to Kamald, that he must dedicate his life to his new findings and beliefs…
Rajon is sweating, This …this is unreal Kamald. All this from that thing?
No Rajon
says Tiffany. I never touched it and I’m focusing stuff too. So Kamald, what do you think?
Kamald contemplates, but not for long. He puts his head to his chin.
I…I am glad that I am not the only one who can do these marvelous things. We can’t keep it a secret, but I do not want to risk us being outcasts. Such a risk is necessary. The artifact we found, the Oasiasis must be protected at all costs. Let us go to the Explorer’s Union."
So Kamald, Jennifer, and Rajon go back to the Explorer’s Union…with hopes of getting more people to knowthe ways of the Order
. A huge question remains, what is the Oasiasis?
