<b>Scene


    1: Meeting the Astashica Hologram</b>


    The


    boy <b>Tlandar</b>


    was a halfling.  He was half <b>Asemeri</b>,


    and half human.  He was almost 6 feet tall, with light blue eyes and


    medium-length blonde hair. He dressed simple, like a person who


    worked in the farm.  He liked to wear a dark green, sleeved,


    v-necked, cotton shirt. He lived in the Village of Verdantis Nexus


    with his family in a farmland. Verdantis Nexus was a small farmland


    village located in the land of Val’katl, near the outskirts of the


    city-state of New Asemeri.  One day he was herding some cattle in the


    village’s outskirts, in its green meadows.   While he worked, a


    glowing light blue and white orb, a hologram, of the intelligence of


    planet Astashica, appeared to him. Tlandar’s three sisters, were


    nearby but were not aware of Tlandar’s whereabouts.  Tlandar was


    away a short distance from them. He had come down near a river


    herding part of the cattle there so they could drink in water holes


    which near the river banks.  So the hologram of Astashica appeared to


    him, near the river, where the cattle drank water.


    “Tlandar,


    brave soul of the farmland. Behold. I’m <b>Astashica</b>.


    I need your help.” Astashica (the glowing orb) said.


    “Who


    are you?” Tlandar asked, astonished at seeing something so


    extraordinary before him. “I am the collective consciousness of a


    group of beings, the <b>Ancient


    Acherons</b>,


    of the planet Astashica.  We live underground in our mysterious


    forbidden city.  We as Astashica, are protectors and guardians of the


    planet.  We  take care of the planet’s safety and ensure it’s


    survival endlessly.  We terraformed the planet long ago.  We prefer


    to present ourselves before you as a symbol, so you do not fear.  So


    you see before you what’s matters most.  We are Astashica.  You


    will understand in its due time.  Right now the fate of the planet


    rests in your hand. You must listen and understand. We ask for your


    help. Defend the planet against the evil threat of the Asemeri


    overlords who currently inhabit and rule the lands of Astashica. You


    must defeat them and prevent the impending catastrophe that looms


    Astashica. They are an evil, brutal, warrior chieftainships of clans


    who came from the collapsed Xothek Empire. You must defeat the


    chieftain Cosmus, who commands the mighty, <b>Xothek


    star vessel Defiance Vanguard</b>.


    He has <b>three


    Azurevat missiles</b>,


    the last weapons of the mighty <b>Xothek


    Empire</b>.


    With just one he can destroy Astashica as one missile has 1 gigaton


    destructive power.  You hold the power to prevent this catastrophe,


    Tlandar. Behold, I will show you a good ally from the land of <b>Salgar</b>.


    She is Akashma Xil’ha, of the <b>Sanctum


    of Orchids</b>.”


    Astashica


    summoned Akasma Xil’ha nearby.  After a lighting strike under a


    <b>banyan


    tree</b>,


    where she would appear, she appeared there, like having been


    teleported. A figure of a woman, where the lightning bolt fell,


    started to rise from her feet and began composing into a female


    halfling, half Asemeri, half human.


    She


    spoke to Tlandar, “Greetings, Tlandar. I’m <b>Akashma</b>.


    You don’t understand yet. But you will. You must come with me to


    the <b>Sanctum


    of Orchids</b>.


    I will


    show


    you and


    guide you on what


    you must do throughout your <b>journey</b>.


    The fate of the world


    now rests


    in your hands, Tlandar.


    Be


    valiant and worthy to accept this task.”

    Akashma


    wore a dark red cloak and kuprix armor underneath. She had long, wavy


    black hair and light hazel eyes.  In one side of her body, under the


    dark red cloak, could be seen like a <b>set


    of kuprix throwing daggers</b>.


    She stood composed, waiting for Tlandar.


    “I’m


    willing to grant my help. I’m aware of what’s happening in


    Astashica. Cosmus is a tyrannical maniac who wants complete dominion


    of the planet.  I’ve heard news of his military campaigns against


    the other clans.  These are the Asemeri Wars of Supremacy.  Many


    Asemteks don’t want war.  We are very peaceful.  Cosmus and his


    clan are evil slave masters as well.  Most of Astashica is under the


    clutches of slavery and misery.  My asemtek specie is enslaved by


    Cosmus and the dark Asemeri overlords who dominate Astashica. I’m


    willing to help.” Tlandar said.


    Then


    Astashica said, “Good, you have


    made a wise choice,


    Tlandar. You will be forever remembered in the chronicles of time for


    your great


    endeavors.  Now, I’ll go, but I will continue


    working with


    you in critical moments to


    guide you and help you.  I want you to follow Akashma where she was


    instructed to take you.  You will become a great hero of renown in


    Astashica as


    you defeat Cosmus and the wicked Asemeri overlords.


    You will defend Astashica with your might and


    strategy – which you will learn at the Sanctum of Orchirds.


    Together


    with all


    allies


    along the way, you


    will fight for freedom of the oppressed asemtek and


    Temsek (human) race


    and for the survival of Astashica.  You’ll serve a higher purpose


    than you


    could ever imagine and


    you will be


    grateful you


    saved


    the world. Together,


    we must thwart Cosmus and his wicked Asemeri allies.


    The


    time has come,


    dear protector Tlandar.  You


    will rise!”


    The


    Astashica glowing orb disappeared with flashes of lightning.  Then


    Akashma approached Tlandar and began to assist him in all she could.


    She accompanied him wherever he needed to go.


    <b>Scene


    2 – Departure to the Sanctum of Orchids</b>


    Tlandar


    went to his three sisters who were nearby waiting him for him to


    finish herding the family cattle for the day. Tlandar climbed up from


    the river banks with Akashma and went to his three sisters who were


    sitting in the meadow, talking, playing with each other.


    “My


    beloved sisters, this is Akashma Xil’ha. She has told me of a great


    danger approaching our world. I need to help them defeat a power


    threat that may soon destroy our world. I want you to understand


    this. I must do what I must do. They will prepare me for the war


    against Chieftain Cosmus. Go home to mom and dad and tell them I’m


    coming home after these people make the champion of Astashica. I will


    bring light to this world devoid of light, engulfed in darkness. This


    world needs me. Because I’m the only one who stop Cosmus. You all


    know Cosmus is a tyrant who been wanting to destroy our specie long


    ago. Now its the time to defend our people, are homes, our ranches,


    the planet, from the looming threat of the Azurevat missile.”


    Then


    Tlandar hugged his sisters.  A nearby sleek, four-thruster<b>


    Salgaran Verdan-class transport spacecraft</b>


    uncloaked after them.  Tlandar and Akashma entered the Salgaran


    transport spacecraft.


    The


    ship smoothly rose


    up in the


    in midair and


    cloaked


    back again.  It


    blazed


    off and disappeared into the unknown, with a thunderous boom.
