1 The Koronia-Jin
It has been seventy years since the last war. Seventy years since any Koronia-jin has seen battle. All I do is train, and for what? I was born a Knight. Do you have any idea what that is like? Being able to destroy most of the star system you live in on the day of your birth? No I guess you wouldn't .
(A stranger) "Sir, sir can you help me?'"
(Ronen) "Excuse me, are you talking to me, old man?"
"Yes I am having trouble, you see I was a stowaway on a ship that came here, and I don't know what planet this is."
"This is Koroniasei, and I would be extremely careful of who you talk to, old man."
"Why is that?"
"Because, look here. No, to your left. Now do you see the guys with this design on their faces?"
"Why yes."
"Well, don't talk to them. They'll rough you up, possibly kill you if you're not careful."
"Oh okay, thanks sir." At that moment, Ronen decided to transform into Knight status.
"Oh please, please don't kill me. Please I have a family."
"Hey cool down, yeah I have stripes too, but not everyone who does is dangerous. It is all up to the individual."
"Oh my goodness. You scared the life out of me." Within a few minutes, he'd caught his breath and began talking again.
"So what is your name, and what do those stripes mean?"
" Okay, well first my name is Ronen and I am a Koronia-jin Knight. These stripes are a reflection of my power. Let me explain our power. Koronia- jin have two types of power; physical strength, or "sulo", and animal power or "rage". People with a pattern on the left side of their face have higher sulo; where people with a pattern on the right have higher rage. Everyone of our race can make their pattern appear, like I did earlier. The pattern is gone when we're relaxing. Now you see the men over there to your right?"
"Yes."
"Okay those guys are Lancemen, you'll recognize a Lanceman when you see someone whose pattern doesn't extend all the way up and down the face. Now a Knight like me has their pattern going all the way up and down their face. "
"Wow. I a lot of redheads around here, I haven't seen hair that red since I left Earth."
"Well you'll see a lot of it here. Everyone of us have that color, unless some people choose to dye it. All of us have this color skin as well, and the face pattern is always black."
"Oh, well how old are you?"
"Ten years."
" Whoa, you look at least 20."
"We reach maturity quickly." Just then, a voice came from the distance. "Ronen, we have to leave!"
"That's my brother Wenon calling me, so I'm out of here. Later." The traveler nodded, and Ronen left.
1.1 Later that day, in a conference room in the state of Cherok…
"Ronen!"
"Yes, sir!"
"I have a mission for you. You're to choose five men for a mission on Choctosei. You are to kidnap the Chocto-jin emperor. Do not kill anyone, especially of the imperial family."
1.2 Two hours later…
"Wenon, Ell, Nos, Ustd, and Ella you five are coming with me to Choctosei. Here are our orders. We're supposed to kidnap their emperor, without killing anyone, especially of his family. Kill anybody and I will personally tear out your hearts. Understood?"
All five nodded in unison, and said: "Yes sir!"
The mission was successful.
Unfortunately for one of the five, they didn't listen carefully enough, and found out that Ronen never lies.
