Aisu grimaced as the bell to change classes rang. He unfolded his length from the cramped desk and shuffled sullenly to his next class. How Earth Youth's stood the continuous monotony of their days at the drab learning facilities that they called School he would never know. He knew that he was being unfair to the people here and knew that it wasn't really the School that had pulled his normally affable mood into a downward spiral of irritation. It was Seika.
He had explained to her that the fate of Hyosetsu and possibly even the whole Soshi Galaxy was virtually resting in her hands. He suspected that the Hageshiikaze renagades that had been running wild in the past year were building an army. They had started steeling women from other planets in the galaxy and if they bred their own unique genes in with the others of the surrounding planets they could build an army that could withstand the extreme climates and conditions on the different planets and an arsenal of abilities that could be used to invade and conquer the smaller sub planets in the Soshi Galaxy, Choujuu, Kagayakasu, Denkou, Ankouku, and even Hyosetsu.
If Hageshiikaze captured those planets and turned them in to bases they could easily take over the lager planets of Chi, Kasui, and Kouen. Aisu had told his king of his theories and he had agreed that it would be best to form an alliance with one of the larger planets and he sought to kill two birds with one stone by settling the tension that had existed between Kouen and Hyosetsu for three generations. In an attempt to make a lasting alliance with Kouen even after the imminent war with Hageshiikaze the king had proposed that nobles from Kouen and Hyosetsu marry to ever strengthen the bond between the two planets.
Since there was no love lost between the Kouen queen and the Hyosetsu king Aisu had been ordered to find Seika to propose the solution and get her to make the suggestion to her queen. Seika had agreed with his theory and to speak to her queen but only after she had finished her mission on this planet, though she would make the proposal in her next loge.
It was the waiting that ate at him the most. He was now stuck on a strange planet in a different galaxy waiting on a maiden's fickle decision while his planet, his people, his very family where in danger of being invaded at any moment. It was enough to drive a warrior mad.
