Chapter 5 – The meeting

A dark and sinister character walked the isle that led to a door. The door was an entrance to a room. The same room was releasing a stimulus that could not be sensed by most sentient beings. However this stimulus could be felt by this being. It was telling this person that everybody else in the group was already in the room.

The person walked into the room and everybody in it stood up to greet their ruler. This being sat at the head of the table and motioned the rest to sit. As they sat it was noticed by most that the ruler was upset.

The ruler spoke up. "What is the progress report?"

One of the servants stood up and answered the ruler.

"Your Majesty, we have accelerated the procedure and are now ahead of schedule. The ruins at the rift site are being repaired at this very moment. The best scientist has been able to open a rift into this parallel world. Now all we have to do is to adjust the rift to become larger and adapt it for living beings to go on through."

The ruler was pleased. This was the first good news he had all week. He came here expecting more bad news from them.

"Excellent job my servants, I will make sure that all of you have bonuses for your work." He told them.

At that the servants sighed in relief. The last time the ruler had executed one of them because they beared bad news. They all became relaxed. Everyone enjoyed the rulers company when he was in a good mood.

"Continue the procedure; make sure everything goes as planned. We will save our race from the Annihilation, you are dismissed" he ordered.

The ten servants stood up and left the room. The ruler stayed behind. His wife would join him soon in the room. He had promised her that he would save their race from the Annihilation. He finally had good news for her.

"Darling, are they gone yet…Oh, they are! Was bad news again?" Asked the ruler's wife.

"No my dear. Finally good news. The hardest part is done; all they have to do now is stabilize the rift. We will survive." Replied the ruler.

"That is wonderful news, how long do you think?" she enquired.

"Well, all the ships are built, our supplies are high and we have enough men. The only things left will be the rift and the transporting of the people from their homes to the ships. It should take about a month's time." He told her.

The ruler's wife was shocked. "That little, but then I have to start announcing right away. Honey, do me a favour and tell Dyra the news yourself, I must gather my servants." She told him.

The ruler was amused; being the planet's main negotiator and social events organiser, his wife was really active and did not waste a moments time.

He walked down the isle again and went to his daughter's training quarters. A young woman was training inside. The ruler felt proud of his daughter. She was a warrior through and through. Really her father's daughter. She looked at her father and saw him smiling.

"Is it finally good news father?" she asked him.

"Yes my daughter. We will survive the Annihilation," he told her.

Dyra smiled at her father and rushed at him firing a volley of Ki blasts. But her father was ready; he sent a wall of ki that stopped all the blasts. He rushed at her and kicked her in the gut. She flew against the wall. Strong as she was, she still wasn't stronger than her father.

"You'll have to do better than that to stop your old man," he told her.

She rushed at him again and they sparred for an hour. As he was leaving he told her.

"You are getting better everyday. Keep it up and someday you will be able to beat me." He then left the room.

Dyra was left to her thoughts. Soon they'd leave this cursed dimension. They would once again become the universe's most economically powerful entity.

And soon she would become the ruler of this entity. She must be strong for when this happens. Her father won't always be around to help her. And there was also another obstacle. You had to be married to be able to become the ruler. But she'd think about that later, the getting stronger part was most important right now.

She resumed her training; she would become stronger than her father and doing so honouring him. But she also had to be a lady to honour her mother. She soon was engulfed in her training and had forgotten all these thoughts.

Unknown to her, someone was watching. That someone was a young man; a young man that loved her.

"Oh Dyra, someday you will be mine. But not now, not in this dimension, in the new world I will become someone important and be able to marry you. But until then I must train to prove myself to you." He left as he said this.

The ruler's wife had made the announcement, everybody was rejoicing and celebrating. Everybody in the planet had started to arrange their most prized possessions and packing for the new dimension. Soon they would escape the doomed dimension they were in.
