::Sequel to Vengeance For Blood::

:Chapter 1:

            It was quite in the old tavern; a few groups of people scattered around corners, whispering and minding their own business. It wasn't one of the safest places to be during this time of day, but there are much more dangerous places, as well.

            Alien races of different kind were up near the counter, drinking bear and other beverages. This is how it was today at Lunar Colonies, humans are not alone out there. Especially after a visit of the new Empire back at Earth, we had to escape it or face imprisonment.

            Funny how humans used to have the cutting-edge technology and were at brink of a Golden Age, when suddenly all was taken away with one wave from the Emperor and all came crushing down under it's own weight. Cutting-edge technology didn't help with that and soon humans have joined the club of the slaves. Wonder what our ancestors think of us now.

            There are not enough of us left as still free agents, most joining the resistance groups against the Emperor. Most of us are nothing but cowards, cowering in corners, praying to God for hope. What faith these people have. There are just a few that are lost to yet another deep misunderstanding. Misunderstanding about everything that this world is now today.

            If you are a survivor, you'll understand soon enough that there is neither hope nor faith. Well maybe there is false hope but that's not something I'm ready to rely on. I don't have time to believe in things that do not exit.
