Chapter Two

Security is very tight here in Warhem. Even in between our neighborhoods, we have forcefield sensors and lasers. Curfew for everyone aside from security officers and high ranking officials at eighteen hours till seven hours everyday. Anyone found outside their homes during this period shall be punished and the worst sort of punishment is to be vaporised. We don't have sunrise or sunset in Dustromedian because of our far distance from the sun. But we certainly brought time from Earth and old spaceships that originally came from Earth. And from this time, Dustromedian's scientists invented lights powered from the grounds of the planet. In the day the lights shall be brightened up with high intensity. And in the night it is switched off and the street lights and lights in spacebuilds light up the cities. Dustromedian's ground has an unusual source of power that can produce electricity, energy and even advance it to food. And the ability to harness this power came from rare diamonds found in the few craters around the planet. But its little amount only allowed scientists to create one ball or better known as the sphere of Dustromedian. With this sphere, the owner can take control over all the sources mentioned above. And in the wrong hands, destruction awaits. The sphere of Dustromedian now lie in the hands of the superior of Avawexiyouz. The capital city of Dustromedian. Head of all the other four cities, Warhem, Yula, Valtora and Xelona. A superior is the prime ruler of each city. And the superior of Avawexiyouz is the superior of all other four superiors. Avawexiyouz is better known shortly as Ava. Well, people are lazy to finish the long word. I've never been there before. I heard lots of great stories from fortunate people who had worked there. It's like heaven to them. From what I heard, they treat every citizen there equally and respectfully. Because no random tourist get the chance to enter Ava. They don't even accept tourists. All non-locals that went to Ava are on business matters. And there's a national law stating whoever stepped foot on Ava, they are forever honoured and no harm shall come to them. Meaning, they are free. Free from most laws that are for normal people like me. And definitely free from the strict curfew. Well, free they are until they become a traitor. One intelligent scientists was being sentenced to death for attempting to steal the sphere. He claimed that he was innocent and not stealing but simply helping Dustromedian. That's all I heard about him. Ava shut him down immediately afterwards. They probably fed him to the creature that roams the surface of Zonex. Legend has it that Zonex used to have a city named after the place but was destroyed for betraying the capital. Are you confused? That's a lot to take in. I'm definitely confused the first time I heard these myths. Well, I heard them or read from somewhere but that does not mean it's true.
