A long time ago on the Nemesis Star …
Long ago, in an eternity far away, two queen rulers lived on the Nemesis Star.
In the south reigned the Dragon Queen Suro. Suros Regime was benevolent, and her realm stretched from Dusk to Garrison. But her dragon breath was so foul that it once sent two to the morgue and even drove all hawks to the moon.
The Thunder Princess Telesto lived with her husband Mida and her brother Tlaloc in the north. The princess’s marriage was no shining dance machine, but Mida multitooled his universal device like an eternal warrior.
Nova Mortis and Telesto – Something is brewing
Nova Mortis, the beloved of Tlaloc, despised the beautiful Telesto. She devised a plan to unleash the first curse upon the kingdom. She sought out the terrible Ahamkara in the south, a dragon that once attacked Telesto’s kingdom and was banished as punishment. The cunning of this cryptic dragon led to the discord between the two queens, causing them to avoid all contact ever since.
“Oh terrible Ahamkara, Telesto’s strength, intellect, and discipline far exceed my own. Help me forge a curse to execute my plan C of seizing the throne. Take my soul as payment,” Nova pleaded.
Ahamkara snorted. This was the opportunity to take revenge on the Thunder Princess now that he finally possessed a soul.
Someone was eavesdropping!
But they were not alone. The Outcast Klaas overheard the murmuring, and his seventh sense gave him the extremely good advice to seek out the Dragon Queen Suro.
Ahamkara began to weave the curse: “Oh Shinobu, heed my plea, grant me the oversoul, I vow to you Shinobu!” He repeated the words over and over again until a brilliant beam shot into the sky.
Telesto’s husband Mida must pay the price
Thunderlord Mida returned home after a crashed party when something evil reached him. Such a pity. As tipsy as he was, a malicious touch was enough to be caught by the pull of doom.
The news of his death spread like wildfire and cloaked the Thunder Princess in mourning. Therefore, Tlaloc represented her on the throne.
In the south, Suro also heard the rumor that Mida was dead. Shortly afterwards, her servant Primus appeared with a prisoner.
“He has breached the Queen’s bow and intruded into your land. We apprehended him at Saladin’s Watch,” said Primus.
Suro glared angrily at the Outcast. “How dare you, unauthorized one!”
“My name is Vex Mythoklaas, short Klaas, and I witnessed the first curse. The terrible Ahamkara forged it in the forests near Monte Carlo under harsh light for Nova Mortis. It contains a doctrine of death and has the force of Zen meteors. Its victim has already been claimed.”
“This crafty dragon…” The chain of events of this first curse was a thorn in the Dragon Queen’s side. “That is a Khwostostrove! Primus, saddle the horses, the 4th Rider shall carry Klaas.” Suro stormed angrily out of the hall and prepared for the journey north.
Tlaloc, the beloved of Nova Mortis, sits on the throne
Meanwhile, Tlaloc had made himself comfortable on the throne and received 44 bows of homage.
Necro, the prince’s chaperone, approached him: “Your Highness, I have the Dragon Queen Suro, she requests an audience.”
“Grant the foreigner entry,” replied Tlaloc.
“Where is the Dark Drinker?” asked Suro as she saw the young man on the throne.
“You mean Mida?”
“Who else, that fool erased all small change in no point 25 for his booze,” Suro mocked.
Tlaloc looked at her with a vacant stare. “He saw the light of the abyss and received a one-way ticket.”
“000h, so he truly met the red death?” she retorted, not very surprised.
“The fate of all fools.”
“And the princess?”
“Only a red ghost of her former self.” Sadness flickered across his face.
“And who are you?”
“I am Tlaloc, son of the Lord of Wolves Bool and twin brother of the Thunder Princess Telesto. What do you want?”
“I have no time for explanations. Take me to Telesto, Bool’s twin.”
Tlaloc nodded to Necro. “My name is Necro, Chas M. Necro. I know how it goes.”
Suro stared at him in bewilderment. “What do you mean?”
“Yes this way.” He showed her the way to the princess’s cell.
Telesto overheard her brother and Suro and decided to play a sleeper simulator. Suro stormed into her shabby supercell and blew into the Gjallarhorn. “Well, now that the ice is broken, rise Telesto. What a shame that we harbor grudges against each other every new day, beyond patience and time. But now I want to support you, Thunder Princess. Listen, your husband was a victim of the first curse ever.”
“For heaven’s sake, no!” Telesto trembled.
“There was a witness, it must be true, such is the promise of the Outcast.”
“Which party pooper set this in motion?” the princess asked.
It was Nova Mortis!
“It was Nova Mortis and the terrible Ahamkara. But do not worry, I have a trick up my sleeve. This black, scrawny traitor will pay.” The Dragon Queen reached out her hand towards Telesto.
“Don’t you dare touch me! This nemesis has led me astray. For that, I will annihilate her and cast her out of my kingdom! This shall be my will, whether she despairs or not!” she shouted loudly. She gathered herself momentarily and calmed down. “Suro, forgive my outburst.” “Primus,” Suro said, nodding understandingly at Telesto, “find Nova as quickly as you can.”
“Yes my Lord, I will fix this quickly. Dead or alive?”
“Alive.”
Necro appeared outraged: “But… but… but that makes no sense!”
“That is my last word,” hissed Suro. Primus bowed and set off.
Using the Fabian strategy, he tracked down Nova Mortis in the ash factory. As she resisted, Primus shouted: “You are found guilty!” Primus bound Nova in shackles of nothingness. She attempted to seduce him, but he resisted. The bringer of fate met her bad karma and she saw no land outside anymore.
