Back from the Ashes(1)

'No Nation is truly gone, History Still remembers the names of Rome and The Qing, No Matter the era we are in, Men will still dream of the resurrection of the times where that name invoked a sense a Pride' -Vasily, 1978 

Russian Union,Gatchina Palace, Ballroom, December 31st 1639

Inside the Ballroom was Most of the Russian Government, Today was New Years eve, And they were celebrating it in a social Party, Kids Played Around the Palace, Nice Soft Musics filled the halls and everyone had a great time, Except one man, Mikhail Razin Hatred Social parties, The Wives of his friends always Tried to get him to talk about his sex life with his wife, Which he found rude.

But his Sons were having a great time, They seem to get the social life, He looked at his full glass of Wine and placed it down.

''How did Vasily managed to do this for 38 years?'' He said out loud

but his voice could not be heard from all the people having fun, As He Listen to the Popular Western song 'Killer Queen', He Chuckled, The Russians Hatred Their Own Monarchy for years now, But here they were all singing a song from a Band Called Queen Like they were the most hardcore fans, it was something.

As the song played, He noticed The Hall got quiet as a mouse, He Looked at them, Wondering why they stopped all the fun, He might hate it, But that doesn't mean he has to be a Dick about it.

Then he saw General Zhukov Walking towards him, his face was Marred with a serious tone, As He walked, A KGB Argent Whispered in his ear something, Causing the General To Push him aside and talk Loudly.

''Comrade, I'm Not here ruin the Fun, I'm Here On Business, Now Get.Out.Of.My.Way Or I'll Break Your Ribs With my Hat'' He said

The KGB Argent Just Tan Away like he saw the devil, The Zhukov's had a long history of striking pure and utter terror in The KGB Since 1947 When Marshal Zhukov Killed Most of them Arresting Stalin, of 1000 Argents protecting Stalin, Zhukov alone killed 394 With a Pistol and a Trench Shovel.None in the KGB Even wanted to mention the name, let alone anger it.

As Razin Looked at what could only be a scene from a Satire film, Zhukov Keep Walking as if Razin was going to Die.After getting to him, he saluted and Gave him a Piece of paper.

''Comrade General Secretary, I Have reports from Papaldia, It requires your immediate Attention'' He said, still saluting.

Razin's eyes darted to the Balcony.

''Come To the Balcony, we will be alone there'' Razin said ''Everyone! Keep the Party going! I'll See you next Year!''

At this the music began again, and he heard from the balcony, 'Not more dad jokes' from his sons, As he closed the Door, He Began to look at the papers, Most of it was pretty plain, plans to attack Either Fenn or Altarus, The Gra Valkas Empire Spies Saying they found massive deposits of Uranium in Papaldia and more resources vital to Russia's economy. But one Part that made him look a bit confused was the Kingdom of Papaldia, A Few days ago they revolted and harsh battles began, And so far some 30% of the Kingdom is free, The King's Heir is back Home and was Made King, But none seemed to be of concern to them as much as disrupting the party.

''What's so Important in this? It's just what I Already knew'' Razin Said as he took out some Beef Jerky ''Want some?''

''I'll Pass, I Prefer Chicken'' Zhukov Said ''But You're forgetting something, Tell Me, Why did we not Invade Papaldia itself after Fenn?''

Razin Paused to think why, Then it dawned on him.

''Because they would be able to use our tactic of running away and burning the land, Making us suffer, Why Bring this us?'' Razin asked ''Is the Next Plan to Attack Their Homeland?''
