Second circle of the Empire
Protection District
"Where are they?!" I could hear the frustration building in Bleine's voice as her pupil stared intently at the Protection District skyline. "According to the plans in the memories, they should have attacked already!"
A pione of my guard knocked on the door, and when Bleine turned to him, I could see the fury practically flowing out of her in liquid hatred.
"Any news?!" She growled, her voice growing more and more out of control as we lost the situation and fought not to lose the Empire.
The soldier stumbled in response:
"They're attacking the Poison District..."
What?! I couldn't believe it. How was that possible?! That's not what I saw in the rebels' memories!
Bleine exploded in a furious roar, scratching pits in our heads where she could push us with just her words. And when she fell silent, the soldier mustered the stupid courage to continue:
"And Korrok is alive among them..."
The fageine's skin turned into a hodgepodge of violent spikes that flew at the soldier, pinning him to the wall and cutting through him until he was no more than a lifeless remnant lying on the ground. She turned to me smoldering and I raised my stinger in response, prepared to stick it in her if she dared to come near, but Bleine just yelled:
"THEY DECEIVED US!"
"Maybe there's still time to send the troops to recover the planet..." I tried, but she could have torn me up just for risking it.
"We will not send more soldiers for them to convert!" And then, retracting her spikes: "That world is lost."
And so the revolution took over one of the districts of Itopis...
Mine.
