Fall of Cylosis
Chapter 1
Cylosis, a beautiful planet in the middle of the Gylatic system. This planet has been the home of the Cylans for thousands of years. Many empires have been built, and have co operated peacefully. Trading, selling, buying, all done in one central city, Arganis. It is in this city where our story begins, with an average, yet very kind merchant, Tensirus.
Tensirus was a well built man, many would consider him good looking. He had pale blue skin, and thick, long forest green hair. Tensirus excelled as a merchant, because he was not only a very good salesman, he was also very kind and considerate to his customers, and they appreciated that. But there was a bad side to being one of the most popular merchants in the city. Over the years, some of the other merchants had become jealous of his skills, and hated him for it.
"Greetings Ten," said Bentin, a young Cylan that had visited Tensirus's store many times in his young life, and had developed a bond with the merchant. Bentin was a small Cylan, even for his young age. He was very frail, but did not look sickly. His skin was a deep blue, and his hair a pale green, that complimented his blue skin.
"Hey Ben! How are you doing today," asked Tensirus. "I'm doing great! Hey,do you have any of those muku beans left?They are my favorite," exclaimed the young boy. Tensirus had never really noticed how happy this young boy had always been. He had never seen this boys deep blue skin pale, or his dark green hair ever dull. In fact, he had never seen this boy ever act sad or depressed.
"I sure do! I only have two bags left though, is that ok," asked Tensirus. But before the young boy could answer, they received their daily telepathic message. This was there source of news, and kept them up to date. They also had many satellites that surrounded the planet, and if there were any unwanted guests, or a sudden storm, they would instantly be warned.
"Attention citizens of Cylosis, we have a very important announcement. Our Tel-sats have detected a Galactic Federation star fleet closing in on many planets in the Gylatic system. We have contacted them, and they say the reason for the fleet is they are searching the system for terrorists. But we do not believe this to be true, and want all citizens to be cautious, and be prepared for the slim chance of any confrontation. Be safe, and thank you for your time". At that moment, Tensirus felt a deep terror unlike anything he had ever felt before. He knew he had to find shelter, and he had to find it fast. But then he thought to himself, it may not even happen, I could just be paranoid. Am I losing it? Better safe then sorry.
"Ben,you need to get home now, and find some shelter ok? I'm closing up shop early, and here, the muku beans are free". He handed Ben the beans, and started closing up the shop.
"Ten, I'm scared, what should we do," said the boy, tears welting in his eyes. He took the bags, and then began to cry. Tensirus couldn't stand seeing the boy this way.
"Hey, don't cry Ben. This is probably nothing. The GF is probably just looking for the bad guys. I'm just going home to be on the safe side, and you should do the same. Hey, I'll make sure to order some more of those muku beans for you tomorrow ok? I'll see you tomorrow," said Tensirus, trying to make the boy feel better.
"You're right Ten, I should go home. Sorry for crying, I'm just so scared. I'll see you tomorrow, bye," said the young boy as he ran home. For some strange reason, Tensirus felt like he would never see his friend again...
