The Prophecy- Book 1

Chapter Eight

Once I finally managed to make through the halls to my room, after the cafeteria, I noticed a list on my door. I pulled it off and looked at. It was a list of books about planet Yarrow. I guess my learning started now. I walked in and found my tablet. This would keep me busy for the rest of the night.

I stretched my now healed arms. It had taken a full three days to heal from my injuries, including without healing team. Someone knocked on my door. I stood and opened it glaring at whoever was outside.

"Ss...ss...sir, the Emperor would like to see you." He stammered.

"Fool." I backhanded him and flew to the side out of my way. "Hmph, weakling." Then I headed to the Emperor.

I seethed, not really wanting to see him again.

Once I made to his office, I walked in slowly. Not sure to what expect.

"Ah you have finally made it. I see you managed to heal from your injuries. Such a pity." He grinned maliciously at me. I wanted to yell you the mean the injuries you inflicted on me, but I kept my mouth shut.

"You called for me?" I said instead through clenched teeth.

He narrowed his eyes at me. "Apparently, I was right about the humans. They are planning a rebellion. And here I was just doing it for fun. They are like ants getting caught in the rain." He let out a laugh. Then his face got all serious, his right eye twitching a little bit. "A member of the crew has offered me information, very valuable information indeed. They are on their way to create alliances. They are currently headed to planet Yarrow. I want you and two others to go and extract information. Find out if they have any others."

"Why don't just destroy them?" I ask him, not really wanting to hear the answer.

"Because I want to break them. If I just kill everyone, then I will have no subjects to torture." He cackled. "And you know how much I enjoy a good torture. Besides both those species are weak. I just want to know what makes them think they can suddenly rise up."

"Who is the traitor among them?"

"Who cares. Just get the job done, oh and be sure to kill everyone going to the meeting. I want to send a message to them. They will soon learn not to cross me.

"Yes sir." I turned to leave not wanting to be in there any longer. I started heading to my room, I wondered if it was the girl in my dreams, the one standing beside me when I kill him.

I narrowed my eyes as a plan began to form.

It was finally time to land on Planet Yarrow. Much to the Generals dismay, I was still going. The team consisted of Angel, Avril, two other soldiers named David and Ren, and me.

The mission was to go in under disguise as friend of the second in command. We were to go in and eat dinner and discuss through writings what we needed to, while playing small talk like we were old friends.

It was time for me to learn how to be a Princess and a diplomat. I had never had to do either yet. Hell, I had never left the base. I was in new territory, and had no idea what expect.

Thankfully the past couple of days have gone well, and without any more confrontations. I mostly spent the days learning about Yarrow's customs and language. By the end of each day my head was spinning and I was exhausted. The atmospheric training was the hardest. The atmosphere was more than Earth's and took us time to adjust. In the beginning, I could not even walk.
