《Ascension of the Free》


 Chapter 000: Pantheon of the Empire

    Several shadowy figures dashed through the streets surrounding the Imperial Shrine. They carefully avoided the spot of lights of its giant silver braziers and maneuvered around the blockades sealing its many entrances. These shadows converged before a small wooden cellar door embedded into a seemingly solid marble column''s base. When the last figure arrived, the door opened on its own volition and showed that there wasn''t anything behind it. But the shadows still went through its threshold one by one and disappeared one by one.


    On the other side of the the Imperial Capitolium two men were having a pleasant tea. However both drank different teas and from completely different tea sets. One set was like a Victorian set from Old Earth with gilding on its sides and milk tea served in it. The other was a wooden set made from ordinary wood, carved just a few hours ago filled to the brim with the balckest tea.


    Stolen story; please report.


    "Did the Pantheon decide their stance of this matter, brother?" Asked the one drinking the milk tea.


    "Yes, but there was a small disturbance as usually. Two Beings died, and a group of contradictors just slipped out of the Capitolium. It seems the die is cast."


    "The noblesse will definetly object to this outcome, my brother. Will you let them crash for this small matter?"


    "In the beginning, yes, but as soon as one side goes to far, I will show them that it is my order to keep, and not theirs to disturb." Said matter of factly the black tea drinker. "And I''m not your brother."


    "As you say, brother. What does few million mortals matter to your order in the end?"


    In the Imperial Shrine the winnig party closed the voting and immediately set out the see the Seventh Resource Producer Zone one again be reabsorbed into the Empire Proper.
