Kriishens The Invincible Race

An Planetary Explanation

Although it is not your specialty, your Imperial Majesty knows that we are in a Galákicio [Galaxy.] Composed of several planetary or solar systems, with planets larger and smaller than ours.

_Yes Tallium, I know that and I can even say the names of the planets in our solar system.

In fact Tallium knew the name of all of them by heart and sauté, but he chose not to say anything.

_Baghára, Cítrano and Bolghus the biggest, some totally conquered, and we have the smallest Zieres, Dolghur and Plantares and one that is still nameless, but it doesn't matter, it is far from here and we are not interested in it, because it is useless .

_How can you know emperor? Have you checked yet? Tallium insisted.

_You already know the history of this planet. Don't tease me with unpleasant memories. I will not spend anything from my kingdom in favor of something as small and insignificant as this ridiculous planetoid, which is and will remain outside my space catalog. I don't know its exact location and I don't even want to know. I found him by chance, but for me he is lost and will remain so. And you already know why.

The emperor roared, while Tallium bowed apologetically.

_And finally our wonderful blue planet, Kriishi Meriam. He ended up smiling as if he hadn't lost his temper.

_ Congratulations brother, and what else?

_Most? Have more? Ah yes! Our smallest copy, but no less important and from where the whole order of attack on the planets comes from, our little warlike world Kraullos, where its majestic and unique city Kriishi Vallium shines.

_Which previously was just our natural satellite, known as Ghaluáh. Tallium interrupted, displeasing him.

_Yes, but thanks to our technological advancement, it has been transformed into the great power it is now, so you can count it as a planet, or that pseudo-planet as you like to say. The emperor joked, just to see Tallium's reaction.

_Something more emperor? Tallium asked, disguising without agreeing with his brother's crazy idea.

"Natural satellite is neither a planet nor a pseudo planet, period," he thought as he repeated the question, wanting to force his brother's memory.

_Do you remember anything else, emperor?

_More ... More ... Yes. At the center of our Kaox solar system, lies our precious Rhaór, a sparkling second magnitude star and if my mind is right, our Galákicio is called Vieghan III.

_Perfect emperor, anything else retained in your memory?

_No, my knowledge of planets and systems only goes so far, now the rest is up to you.

_Has the pseudo planet [which imitates a planet.] Rochalium, or the little bit of Fractal that we classify as a huge asteroid ... And we still consider it that way, since it does not seem to obey the physical laws of the univernium [Multiverse.], Moving up randomly to some points in space. Well, as the emperor himself mentioned, our Rhaór is a second magnitude star that is many kalimons [Kilometers. ] away from here. The problem is that it is very sparkling.

_ And what about that brother? Is that the threat by any chance? Why does it shine too much? Mocked the emperor.

_Yes my brother and according to my calculations, he will continue to shine brighter and brighter until he becomes a supernova and ...

_ Good, then it will become brighter and we will have more energy coming to our absorber plates ... And ... Wait a minute! Are you sure about that?

The emperor had finally realized the gravity of the situation.

_Absolute. Tallium replied, almost relieved.

_And when will that be?

_I have no way of giving a very precise answer, but we have to hurry or it may not give tempus.

_Tempus to do what? Asked the emperor, showing signs of concern.

_To escape, to look for a place to live or survive. Anyway, we have to be quick.

_No! Cried the emperor, advancing on his brother.

_I refuse to escape Tallium! And I will not allow anyone to escape.

_Are you losing your mind my brother? You know that the most right thing to do is to make an imperial pronouncement and get our race ready for something.

_Something Tallium? And what can be done against Rhaór?

_Nothing against him, but in favor of us ... Everything.

_Listen here Tallium. the emperor screamed, grabbing him by the neck.

_I never ran away from anything and neither will my people run away either. We are not going anywhere from here, do you understand me?

And slowly letting go and lowering his voice, he continued:

_Today is a party day and I will not spoil that with an imperial pronouncement on a cataclysm. We always live as warriors and conquerors and that is how we will end. I will not run and I will not allow anyone, not even you to run. Do you understand me Tallium?

_Yes emperor, I am! Even though I think your majesty is committing recklessness with serious consequences.

_Look at how you talk to me, or I can forget that I'm just your brother and I teach you to have a little more respect with me.

Tallium knew that this was not the momentus [Moment.] To criticize him, he needed to come quietly to try to convince him to do the best for his race.

_It is not a shame to seek shelter until the storm passes, emperor.

_I already told you that I will not run away Tallium. You have your calculations and even if you are who you are, it may very well be wrong.

_I would really like to be wrong, my brother. At least on that occasion.

_If you think you thought of everything Tallium, then explain to me how we would arrange so many ships to carry our race, our food and all our luggage? And the slaves, our mounts, where would we go? Would our cargo ships have space for so many or enough energy to reach some habitable place, before they rot in space?

_We could at least try my emperor. With a smaller amount, however significant. So we would not be wiped out forever and certainly on some planet we would survive.

_I do not accept this option. I don't want to start from scratch, it took a long time before I could reach the position I am in. You are the most capable Kriishen on the whole planet, and if you look hard, I believe you will find an alternative other than to escape.

_Unfortunately there is no alternative my brother. If there were, I would resort to it.

_And there is no way to contain Rhaór's explosion? Asked the emperor, getting irritated again.

_Impossible brother, our technology is not that advanced ... Not yet. This goes far beyond my capabilities.

_What a pity Tallium, but don't say anything to anyone. How much tempus do we have until this happens?

_Maybe three celebrations of the emperor's reign or two. You can't have an accuracy in such a case.

_But this is too much tempus. Do you want to bother me about something that will take twenty or thirty anoucycles to happen?

_This tempus is too little to find an acceptable way out for the emperor. If we do nothing to change our destiny, it will soon be too late.

_So run, brother and find a solution to this problem. For from now on the fate of our race depends exclusively on you.

_Of me?

_That's right. But if you are feeling very alone and unable to do this job, buy a slave or look for one wherever you want. It will help to pass the tempus and encourage you to find a quicker solution ... And even relax a little, when necessary of course.

_But emperor ...

_Nothing "but" or "middle but". You need not panic so much, I will send you a half dozen slaves and you will see that the solution will be right before your eyes ... Just calm down.

_Thanks my brother and emperor, but all I don't need now is that kind of company hindering my reasoning. Needless to mention, my eyes don't find anyone desirable in this place and inside me I prefer to keep the good memories I have of Shacktuliam to corrupt his image with Ticlos of fun.

Tallium replied, irritated by the emperor's offer.

_Okay, great sage and inventor. It was not my intention to offend his honor, I just wanted to help him. Now a wise piece of advice that you should really take ... Find a solution to this problem that you discovered and then look for me. Not before ... Did you understand me, Brother Tallium?

And with his eyes fixed on the emperor and feeling tempted to give a bad answer, Tallium replied:

_Yes your majesty ... I understood very well.
