Chapter 3:        The Empress

At the top of a balcony, a beautiful young empress stands above her kingdom. It was

handed over to her by the Imperial Empire. She took great pride in her colony. Her old,

 sassy, loud and bossy ways soon turned into that of a mature woman. She had gained

a lot from becoming an Empress. She was loved, respected, and honored by all her

servants and her kingdom. But still, by becoming the Moon Shire Empress, she had lost

 much. She now left behind the life she once had, and the friends she use to cherish. But

 one day an old friend had come to visit, his name, Dr. D. When arriving, he too was surprised

 of their "arrangement". We say "their", because there was another man evolved. Another

friend she had from a long time ago. "He" had also owned an empire. His, the Shire

Empire, which was given to him by the Republic Empire, and she owned the Moon

Empire, which she named after herself. Together, they joined to create a vast and beautiful

Empire, the Moon Shire Empire. The entire Kingdom loved them. Everyone lived in peace

 and harmony. But on the day of their "Ceremony", something had gone terribly wrong….

Ruthless Bandits, who had called themselves the Mir Bandits, had now become a strong

 and evil group. They were composed of desert bandits and cruel mercenaries whose

 main pleasure was to steal money from those less fortunate, and see them suffer. They

 had, for sometime, had wanted to become an Empire of their own, but no one was

willing to give in to their cruel demands. The Murs became furious, and for this, they

went on an evil Rampage. They seemed to take advantage of newly formed, secluded

colonies and Empires, taking down anyone who got in their way. And before the Empires

 could get help, it was too late. Every thing was destroyed. They seemed to be

unstoppable. They had gone from low lives, to an extremely wealthy group of bandits.

Then, on the day of the Emperor's and Empress "Ceremony", they had attacked the Moon

 Shire Empire. They had interrupted the celebration, and in their attack, the Empress

was injured greatly. The Emperor, was unfortunately, never found. But three days later,

 there were rumors of the lost emperor to be seen traveling with the group of reckless

 bandits, caught in an act of violence against a colony. And these speculations, although

disappointing, were all true. The emperor was charged with treason, and band from ever

stepping foot again into the empire. He was hated by many, by his own people, but not

hated by one. The only one who understood him—his Empress. She was  to be his, but

a tragic event had stopped the ceremony, and now, they were never to be together by

the rules of the Empire. It was not her wish to have him exiled, but she loved her Empire

 too much to disregard their wishes. And so, he left. He had gone and shun her and the

Kingdom out of his life forever.

It has been 3 years since that unfateful day, and the Mur Bandits were never seen then,

 until now. A group of ruthless bandits had attacked the empire, claiming "they would

have the empire, they would have their captain's revenge," and then, they left. The empire

was in a state of great perplexity, so they did the only thing they could do at that time:

they had called for protectors. Still, the Empress remained on the balcony. Her thoughts,

traveling to the late Emperor who had been accuse for treason. Could he have been the

Mur Bandits' Captain? Why else were they getting revenge? Her eyes slowly watered

as tears rolled down her face, "Oh Irvine…….why?".
