Author's Beggining-Note: Hello readers. Those of you who've been following the Tauri-Furling series might feel concerned that I'm only completed up to Chapter 10 of TF: First Contact and Alliance and Chapter 3 of TF: The Pegasus Collaborative Effort while I've already completed this chapter and some others for TF: the Anti-Erri War. However, you needn't be alarmed that I decided to abandone those or will update only those after too long; I've already started on several later chapters for both of te first two stories in the TF series. I came up with these chapters for the third story in the TF series a long time ago, but just didn't wanna publish these. However, I felt it very disastisfying to not share these with old fans of the series as well as potential new fans of the series, so I decided to just publish these TF3 chapters today and tommorow. I'll be churning out at least two more chapters for the TF1 and TF2 stories by the end of this month. Thank you to fans of those sequels in the trilogy for your continued interest.

Chapter One

Absolute Emperor Kardaine

Kelathan City

Planet of Errisiya

Erri Region

Triangulum Galaxy

Three Hundred and Ninety-Five Earth Days After the Alliance Victory Over the Ori

Absolute Emperor Kardaine Gakalllith Kelathan of the Erri Eternal Empire leaned back comfortably and regally on the Head of State/Head of Government's chair inside the peaceful, beloved confines of his ornately-decorated Private Office, which he admitted very few people into, even fewer people than he did to the throne room. He spent most of his working time secluded inside the office, when he decided to attend to matters only. He found absolutely no need to allow unrestricted access to his person for the subordinates working for him. He was particularly fond of very few of his

This particular Erri head of state had occupied the Erri throne for many two thousand-year separate reigns, longer than any previous emperors of the Erri political entity. His reign was technically only interrupted when he temporarily ascended to update his universe-scale great knowledge and update his longevity-procedure. This procedure returned him back to the corporeal plane with both mental and physical advantages which were very beenficial to him being able to lead his predestined natiion to its ehitcless lofty goal of forcibly exerting its ocntrol over the entire universe.

Being able to quash the machinations of internal enemies is no easy task, but Kardaine had easily done so each time.

Several usurpers had attempted, at their own peril which they retrospectively should've been more wise to not attempt so, wishing to replace him as the great leader of their great nation and lead it further into greater greatness. Or perhaps they only wished to satisfy their pathetic ego by being able to. Whatever the reasons, Kardaine had managed to continue his reign and the reign of his ancestor, the First Erri Emperor.

Remain on the highly-coveted and prestigious throne he would. And while he remained on said throne, he was going to lead the Empire to achieve even more heights of glory than the Erri Empire's founder himself ever did. That great, great, great. great, several several genrations back granfather of his was now among the ranks of the ascended Erri, and

Kardaine had ensured that he's swept aside all side-show races competing for power in the Triangulum galaxy before he focused on the main threat. Of course, Kardaine had been fighting a Proxy War against both the Furling by paying the Oruckses, Ch'roahlls and Oeg'kirs, to do the actual fighting fort him. When they found out that he'd been able to defeat them too soundly, they instead decided to work for him. Kardaine had somehow manipulated them so that they'd fight the Erris' Furling cousins instead, not bothering to think about who received control of what was left of the galaxy's resources and populations after

Kardaine kept himself up to date on all the occurences related to the state of being of his vast empire. He was able to determine all that occured inside his empire that would effect his ultimate goal of ruling the entire universe, and would ensure that . The emperor was the most competent, serious-minded, hard-working official in his empire, as he thought he well should be.

It was now time to head to the throne room, in which the elfman would recieve the Prime Overlord, Deputy Prime Overlord, Assisting Deputy Prime Overlords, and the individual Overlords of the governmental departments for the day all at once. That was his public space in which he would recieve important special envoys from other nations who had the incomparable misfotrune of having to deal with the Erris with theri external politics. These meetings were public.

Kardaine Gakalllith Kelathan, the Erri Eternal Empire's Head of State and Head of Government, whose power, according to his title, sat back regally on his elegant, incomparably expensive throne chair. The militarily-backed monarch (this was least partially true) contemplated the past galaxy-changing events he'd been associated in his life as well as contemplating the future galaxy-changing events he'd be involved with. This elfman had catalyzed events which brought glory to the Erri as a people (many individual lower-class Erri didn't truly benefit personally) and conversely brought dismay and worry to the Furling and their allies. Emperor Kardaine indeed had a long corporeal lifespan ahead of him and planned to use every second of it to continue glorifying the Erri Nation and ruining the Furling Nation and those of the Furling allies.

This was the public audience room for receiving large groups of envoys. When his idiotic underlings (and there were too many he considered to be such) wanted immediate access to the emperor without. Unfortunately, he had to. Though when he was inside the throne room, he also retained control of the situations and the . In fact.

It wasn't that Kardaine had never had to face off against internal problems, in the form of Many competitors for the post that the Erri nation seemed to ordain upon him in a perfect fit had tried an ultimate move for the throne. He had in a most personal way investigated the perpetrators of this treason and then dealt with them as harshly in a hands on-way, in some instances beating them unconscious with his volunatarily-descended ascended being's fists, and then be delivered into custody for the Civilian Grand Tribunalry to try, regardless of his. For the Grand Judges presiding in the cases that the Emperor or the Overlord for Legal Awarding and legal Punishment handed over to them, they were certain to rule in the exalted emperor's favor.

Soon, the Erri would brainwash their conquered Furling enemy into carrying out their will, which for the vast majority of them (minus the traitorous defectors defecting for personal gain or what they thought would be personal gain) would result in them doing such shameful deeds that they'd be eternally horrified withif they ever regained copntrol their own minds.

This publicly-held meeting was the first step in the actions towards the next months and maybe years at most he predicted he would need to assimilate his long-lost Furling cousins.
