We were a peacefull race. We had a good economy, we had a lot of allies in our galaxy and everyone liked us. Until He came... It suddenly started. He had heard of our planet, with lots of resources and our talent in making armor and weapons. So he sended his generals to us. We had 1 choise. Surrender and give your planet, and you won't die. But next to peacefull, we were loyal. Our first home was that planet. Our ancesters ancesters ancesters lived here, and the planet has always givin us what we needed. So we said no, and so the war started...
After 10 horrible years, the war was finally over and victory was ours. We rebuilded our planet, but we stayed alert and so, also or army grew. But after 10 years, he came back, bigger and stronger. We could barrely win, but we were weakened. So we started to build up again, and this time to destroy the enemy. Mobelising an other army was hard, because the moral was broken and we didn't know when they would return. We started to build more and more ships and improve our armor and weapens, and started to train elite troups, who were trained to fight in the shadow. But when we were ready to set of, He suprised us and easely destroyed al our fleets. This is called 'The Last Attack' Our armys were destroyed and the survivors retreited to our fortress.
I am one of them. I am the son of the king and had a special training. I was in my room, preparing myself for the last fight when my father came in. 'Take this, he said' and gave me an amulet. 'What's this?' I asked. 'This is the strongest armor we have. Now you have to go.' He said. 'How is this supposed to defend me, how does it work?' I putted the amulet around my neck and took my bow and sword. But before my father could answer my queston, their was an explosion and suddenly fire was everywhere. The last thing i saw was how a giant fireball engulfed my father and that i had the feeling that i was flying. Than everything went black.
I woke up in a forest. Everything hurted. As I looked up, I saw a giant cloud of ashes and dust, just like a vulcano who had exploded. But this wasn't a vulcano. I suddenly realized that that was the castle. Their was nothing left. The enemy had undermined the castle and blowed up the whole thing. 'I have to get away from here'. I tried to stand up as I felt a burning pain in my left arm and i couldn't move it. I almost felt unconscious of the pain. But I forced myself to stay awake, because their was a big change they would find me and kill me. It was a wonder I survived the explosion. After a lot of tries I finally was able to stand up. I gathered some leaves and stems and bound my arm.I heard that the ships were preparing to lift of. 'I have to get on one of those ships.' I gathered my weapons and bound them on my back. Close to the castle their was a transportship gathering the usefull things they found in the remains of the castle. As fast as I could I ran to the ships. I wasn't in a state of open combat so I crept around the ship and I hitted the guards unconscious. Inside the ship their was nobody. I headed to the control room and started the ship. I saw the others run to the ship and they founded the guards. They immediatly know what was going, they sounded the alarm and they started to shoot on the ship. I took off as fast as i could and flew away from the planet. I went in hyperspace as fast as i could because the other ship started to follow me. When I jumped in hyperspace I saw that I was flying to Heraphrax IV. Once in hyperspace, I relaxed and started to take care of my wounds. I would get out of hyperspace in a couple of hours, so i could explore the ship and see what they took from the castle.
