Chapter 1 Proposal with Unexpected Consequences
An important thing to know about the summer of that year was the fact that for some it was a normal nice summer, for others not so much considering both the high temperatures and for the activities there had to be done. But no one suspected that that day might change the destinies of a world and its inhabitants forever.
The royal court in Romania was one of them, in Bucharest the royal palace became a true symbol for the monarchic restoration that happened not so much time ago. The Palace wasn’t only the residence of the kings but also the place where they were reigning over 5 different planets in total.
The national territory was placed on the planet of Dacica that became the home planet for the Romanians been similar to Earth around it there were other 4 planets; Moldavia at the eastern space sector with 4 continents filled with forests with 5 important monasteries with the cities situated more to the costs of the internal seas. Valahi in the S where is the agricultural centres near the forests, Planet Transylvana at the west with the industry, Dobrojia with the star ship production facilities for both military and commerce.
Dacica was in the centre of all 4 of them aside been the centre of power and the sight of all the ministries it was where the home territory was situated and by literally cutting the edges at the borders with giant round saws while the territory had been attached several giant four claw hooks and covered all around it with an energy shield to be brought on a space station big as the moon. This happening 320 years ago and was done by almost every single nation from Earth Some making new empires for themselves while other nations remained moderate like Romania and Hungary with its 7 planets total while the US had a total of 18 planets declared an Empire and Russia 23.
The cities have extended and evolved to be like the other human and alien galactic states, the country had a production and exportation of 65-70%. This was a certainty on every planet been the certainty that a good administration can make a state to prosper. A smaller one was of course easier to administrate then a bigger one in any case.
That night was one that seemed normal for every hot summer on Dacica. Temperatures rising to 25 degrees Celsius, but aside from that the sky was much more brighter than usual. The blue gas giant nearby the habitable planet seemed to be much more visible than usual and aside from that, the stars were even more visible then normal not to mention the fact that that some might consider almost unnecessary to turn on the electric street lights.
Outside the city of Bucharest situated near the forest there was a royal residence smaller in comparison to the Royal Palace of the king. On the road an old man dressed in a long blue robe with a great bear reaching almost to the ground was walking in front of the palace gate leading to the compound where there was a small garden decorated with all sorts of flowers. Passing the gate and the palace’s fence that was comprised of sharp like metal spears, the old man observed a small grey cat with stripes.
“What an unexpected surprise Professor McGonagall.” Said the old man and then the cat turned into a woman with square glasses and emerald green robe.
“I was thinking, what might bring you here to Romania aside from the werewolves and vampires?” Asked the man with a friendly smile but the woman had rather a strict un-amused face.
“I believe you can see it very well Professor Dumbledore.” Said the woman.
“So you know about the official agreement otherwise you wouldn’t have moved all the way from the royal palace in the city all the way to the one outside of it.” Said the headmaster.
“It was so abject what had been done to get here.” She said harshly.
“I wasn’t the one who proposed this method but the majority of the ministries thought that it was better this way then to let the High Chancellery to take another system under its authority.”
“This happened ten year ago and now it wasn’t the case.”
“No one will now think about this, especially during the celebrations.” Said Professor Dumbledore.
“I still believe it was low to fool a king especially after controlling the minds of other monarchs including of our own to have they’re permissions for this. Especially after they had been controlled with a forbidden curse.” She commented.
“I was firmly opposed to such a way but a territory to be controlled only by wizards and witches was for many a prize too great to slip through our fingers. And now for the wizards around the galaxy it will be a historic day when they at last are in control of an entire new world, probably of the same importance as Voldemort defeat.” Said the headmaster.
“I see, a new world for some, but not a true family for the hero who defeated Voldemort.” Commented Professor McGonagall before adding.
“I also can’t resist from bringing the discussion at the end between the Patriarch of Romania and our minister of Magic about the possibility that the planet might be inhabited by natives that we don’t know if they are friendly or not.”
“In today’s times everyone from kings to lower people think about the possibility of unfriendly natives inhabiting new worlds. And the priests and other servants of God from every fate and religion no matter human or alien make no exception.” He said thoughtful before turning to the ground.
“And still he and others have all the rights to be concerned, especially that no one can expect what could happen.”
“And what would become of the natives; to be subject of persecution like in the past times from the middle ages.” She said sharply.
“We must try to come to an understanding with them. Of course this will depend if the events are favourable or not.” Said the headmaster turning to the starry sky.
“In any case the universe is full of many mysteries. Which, even we are not able to solve.” He said before Professor McGonagall started to also look at the stars in the sky.
Several days later:
In another world inhabited by equine and many other mythical creatures, the nights were always very calm the usual starry sky and the lonely that stood in charge above all of them. Many of them never thought about what was happening beyond they’re world but some with great imagination saw things really differently.
During that night two children one a male unicorn with dark blue main and light blue coat and the other a female Pegasus with blond main and white coat were admiring the view of the sky, both them imagining different things with the exception that it will soon pass they’re bed time. Both them were close friends from the first grade. They wanted to do it so before the Summer Sun festival.
“You know when I look at the stars I always think of them as small fragments from the sun left behind or from the moon that came out.” Said the Girls.
“How come?” Asked the boy.
“It seems like all the stars are like a small grain of sand that came from the sun with the goal of lighting up the sky alongside the moon.” She said dreamingly.
“And still all the stars are the same they are always unchanged.” Said the boy.
“I know.”
“And still....” He made a long pause thoughtful.
“Still what?”
“You know I am always thinking. Is there something out there?” He said confusing his friend.
“How come?”
“Other life forms that are different from us and everything here that we know.”
“Do you think it is possible?” She asked.
“Well I was starting to think about this possibility, I even told my dad about this but he said that this is impossible. What do you thing?” He asked turning to her.
“Well I don’t think it is impossible, maybe it is true. And maybe they also ask the same question as we are.” She said and her friend started to ask shyly.
“And, do you think we might meet them?”
“Maybe, I am thinking however if they might be friendly.”
“This is now hard to say, maybe?” Said the boy unicorn.
“I am also thinking how different they might be from us.”
“I was also thinking about this. Who knows maybe they are not so different as we imagine.” He said.
“Do you think?” She asked.
“I do.”
“It might be easier however if we will ever meet them.” He said before noticing something like a shooting star that seemed to have abruptly stopped.
“Hey have you seen that?” He asked making the young female Pegasus.
“What?”
“It seemed like a shooting star.” He said pointing to the sky where it seemed like other 6 shooting stars to come out and stop.
“I never saw something like this.” She said.
“Neither have I maybe it was something like a meteor shower.” He said before coming out with an idea.
“Hey let’s put ourselves a wish.” He said before both them closed their eyes and made a wish in they’re minds.
“What have you wished?” She asked.
“To know for certain if there is something out there in space.” He said.
“Really me too I hope they are also friendly when we meet them.” She said.
Those kids in that night felt inside them that something will happen and probably they will know very soon if there really something out there in space. What they don’t know however is the fact that they’re wish to meet other beans will come to reality much more sooner than expected. And those beans are right in this moment looking at them from above their planet surface. 7 massive ships each bearing the colours of a different human nation was right in that moment preparing for the landing. Each of those was long as an 80 story building and with 35 meters high. In each one, there was an estimated 1400 people on board to begin the settlement inside there was building material and a garrison of 10.000 battle robots for defence against threats. Protocol was next; some battle robots accompany the building ones for the building of the settlements exception was the governors and the chiefs of security so supervise the construction. They were to arriving through one small craft. They landed at a field near a forest with the view of the sea.
The governor was the first one to get out of the ship to inspect the view.
“Ah, at last we are here this will be the first non muggle planet in the galaxy.” Said the governor with a large smile of confidence on his face.
