VIAGEM COLORIDA

Prólogo de Viagem Colorida

[Adriano]

All my life, I loved playing games. When I was younger, I would spend almost all my day pretending to be a detective with my childhood friends, solving the easiest mysteries. Since childhood, I was obsessed with detective work and criminology, but in more recent years, I've become intrigued with conspiracy theories and occultism. Many theories give history behind the special mysteries of Vitorios, the only place to be colonized by humans outside of earth's atmosphere.

Vitorios is a colony founded by Cuba and Brasil on the moon Ganymede, which is in Jupiter's atmosphere. Vitorios is separated into four provinces: Victoria (capital province), Jardia, Moedia, and Galeria; however, these four lands don't split Vitorios up in its entirety. Two extra areas closed off from civilization hold anti-biochromatic substances, substances that kill biochromatic life. On Ganymede, biochromatic chemicals are the only things that keep plant life alive, and the four provinces contain an immense amount of biochromatic chemicals, making them habitable. Anti-biochromatic chemicals are closed off in two areas, surrounded by a barrier known as the Escudo Colorido, which keeps plant life safe in the areas people inhabit.

Since birth, I've lived in Victoria and have never physically seen anti-biochromatic chemicals, but I have read many theories on them, including the doctrine of the Vitorios Orthodoxy. The Vitorios Orthodoxy believes that four gods created the spiritual and non-spiritual universe, making Ganymede specifically for them to live on. The gods created humanity so they could have worshippers, but majority of the humans worshipped only three of the gods while others worshipped the fourth god. The fourth god, the god of pleasure, began to become angry at this, splitting Ganymede into half, the land where color live and the land where it doesn't. This is just one of the conspiracy theories that coincide with the origin of biochromatic chemicals, and people tend to believe many of them because science has yet to give us an answer about their origin.

Studying these theories, I've always wanted to learn more about Vitorios from first hand discoveries, but I couldn't just leave Victoria and go explore in the past. However, that has changed now that I'm joining the Vitorios Forensics Sect, a subsidiary of the Vitorios Patrol Force. It has the least amount of people out of all the different branches but at the same time is the most selective. This year, the third year that I've tried to enter, I successfully passed the test and made it as an apprentice detective. I'll be able to travel to all of the provinces, solve different cases, and make new discoveries. I'm a little bit nervous because I start extremely soon, but I know this journey in the Forensics Sect. will be as great as I expected it to be.

Everybody is like "Venus do this, Venus do that." What if I don't want to do that? Have you ever thought about how I feel about it? All the cabinet members, including my father, always urge me into doing things for the good publicity of the royal family, and I wouldn't mind doing them if they were things I was interested in. However, this time only, I am doing something that I enjoy, and my father approves of. As of next week, I, the daughter of the king of Vitorios, will be joining the Forensics Sect. as an apprentice detective. Somehow, I managed to pass the test without any rigging from the Vitorios government (which surprised me because the government jumps at the opportunity like that). At the end of the day, I'm quite satisfied with this decision.

Being in the royal family, I've dealt with too many real things my entire life, and a lot of people don't understand that. Literally, from government secrets to press conferences to debates, I've seen a lot for someone as young as me, but I guess it's kind of my fault, especially with the government secrets. I always wanted to be in the spotlight, so I guess I got what I asked for, even though essentially that wasn't what I truly wanted. I wanted to live a life only heard of in tales and stories. I wanted to be amongst the gods, or live in a castle guarded by a dragon, or be able to live in an achromatic world. I've dreamt of many different fantasies I would love to live in, but I'm stuck with my role as one of the offspring of the king.

This time, I am going to be living out at least one dream, and I hope working for the Forensics Sect is going to be as fulfilling as I expected. I heard that there's only going to be seven people in the sect including me, and in a group of seven, it's easy to make friends. I mean everyone kind of has to be friends with me because of my political power, so they better not get on my bad side. With six other people working with me, I feel like we're going to get a lot done, and hopefully Vitorios can become a better place.
