For heaven or for earth

[King Iedolas Solidor]

His people were descended of wood folks. They once lived in the woods, with no technology, hunting for food and learning magic from the gods in the forests. And now, here he was, leading his people in a age of immense advance, where not only they could cure most, if not all, diseases, but they had to rely in machines with great intelligence to help them in their daily tasks. And not only that, but in the communications as well, for now they could project themselves for others to watch.

“I am Marquis Halim Ondore, in the name of the Interstellar Protectorate from the Tapani Sector, i bring you this formal invitation.”, his Vizir announced, his body being projected by the holocrab that held his image. Clear and proud. Funny for him was the fact that the machines in this new age of technology were quite the emotional pieces, with personalities and even feelings. "The Primarch of the Protectorate and King of Kaikielius extends his high regards over your most noble person, and shows great interest in discussing great matters, personnel and political with your lordship here in Kaikielius."

Finding someone enter his office today with an official invitation for Alexander was not something to be expected. Alexander had only recently become the Senator for Carida and was busy handling some paperwork when he had been informed of the droid carrying the holographic form of a man and his invitation. For a few moments the young man had debated turning down the offer but he paused and thought on the matter, seeing it as a chance to relax for a few days.

It was that thought which led him to nodding towards the man and speaking with a smile on his face. He did not know what deal this man wished to propose but he figured it was likely a more personal one since he had come to Alexander and not the Senate or the Chancellor. This left Alexander in a curious state, wondering what might come of this.

But that was for another time to worry about, for now he just smiled.

"I accept your invitation, please expect my arrival to your planet within the week, as I will make plans immediately."

That was all Alexander would say, letting the man see himself out and Alexander already getting to work on archiving anything he needed to work on still so that when he left his office today, there would be no worries as to things being left unhandled. He woudldo as was required and see himself out, making his way home and then from there to his personal shuttle. The young man taking no time in getting on his way.

 

[King Iedolas Solidor]

As it was customary, elzeri were a very punctual and precise people when it came to setting dates. One week had passed and they awaited with a delegation in the palace of Enfer, no music, no parade and no band marching down the yard to receive a echani that worked as a ‘senator’, one of the most despicable jobs it ever existed in this dim galaxy in his opinion. He met very few echani in the past, those strange pale species that resembled so much of the elzeri like no other, with very few exceptions.

By standards of his people, this Alexander Sannes would be a Baron or even a High Lord. That would rule a small, but very powerful and influential house in his planet, although, Iedolas was more interested in his wealth, the connections with this Republic, the Echanis and Arkania. After all, why would he care about happiness and love? Those things belonged to peasants and fools, not to nobility and royalty. Only children and cravens thought otherwise.

Standing with Marquis Halim at his side, and four of his personal knights, Iedolas waited. As a small shuttle appeared in the hangar, descending from the sky.

Alexander pulled himself out of his seat as the ship landed, shutting the shuttle downa and stretching as he looked through the cockpit's visor. It would seem that his hosts had come out in full force to meet him, and he would have quite the escort it would seem. Alexander was certainly curious what this was about considering things have been rather odd the last few weeks but hey, everything had its worth in atleast entertaining.

So he grabbed his collapsible staff, strapping it at his side as the small rod fit nicely, He opened the ramp and waited till it hit the ground, watching as light filtered into his eyes and then they cleared. Leaving him stepping down the ramp and into the day air, breathing in and slowly walking over to the people standing there with a raised brow. Only when he reached them did he bow and introduce himself.

"Alexander Sannes, senator of Carida. What might be the honor of being asked here?"

 

[King Iedolas Solidor]

How he hated to wait for others. Be it for meetings, political reasons, clients and even allies. He had no patience to stand still, for he began to question his own motivations and rethink about all his plans, if they were the right ones, if he should have to choose new ones, if he had chosen the right words or even the proper course of action.

Probably to call a senator from the so called ‘Republic’ to his territory would be seen as a action of joining the Protectorate with such foreign government by his fellow members of the Great Council, but it had nothing to do with that. Iedolas searched for ‘similar’ species of the elzeri, with great abilities and capable of adapting or teaching them with their ways. He tracked old money and nobility to call that man to his planet, being a member of the Republic was something he did not expected.

As his ship landed and he walked off, Iedolas could see few similarities with his own daughters. Although his hair and skin was too white, and they had silver hair and fair skin, not something so bright. His herald took the lead, banging the floor with his metal staff and storming the air with his booming voice.

“Hail Iedolas Aldercapt of House Solidor, First of His Name, King of Kaikielius and Primarch of the Interstellar Protectorate.”, that said, Marquis Halim at his side made a gesture for the herald to step away after taking a bow to Alexander.

“Welcome to Kaikielius, but I must ask... Senator?”, Iedolas asked with a amused smile in his lean lips, “I thought your lordship descended from the lords of Eshan. Why not introduce yourself according to your status?”
