Fiction:Secrets of Hgor: Part 1

Jora
"Isn't it magnificent?" a young Jovar male exclaimed, looking up at the sky above him. He observed as Haelsier's ocean's glistened in the sunlight of a setting sun. He turned around to look at the opposite side of the sky, where Angaklia was visible, its bands of blue and purple just barely noticeable to his powerful eyes.
 * The youth Jovar had an incredible love for the universe that was beyond his home planet. Jora was fascinating, sure. But there was so much more to see! The Galactic Core, the ancient planet of Earth, even the binary star system of Oscion.
 * And he would get his opportunity. He had decided that he would become a soldier in the Great Army when he was very young, at a time when his craving for the stars was only beginning to sprout. And now, years later, he had finally enlisted, ready to serve the empire and his species. But more importantly, he wanted to captain his own ship own day, so that maybe someday he would be able to tour the galaxy.
 * But for now, he was still living in a small town that was nowhere near any major city on the planet. It was a miracle he was even accepted to join the army. But perhaps it was just luck, or maybe it was something much more...
 * After only a few minutes of daydreaming, however, he could hear his mother calling him.
 * "Krellar! Come inside! Time to eat!"
 * Uhh, fine... he thought.


 * "Well, it's your last night here, son. Excited about getting off the planet, aren't you?" his father asked.
 * "Yes, I'm very excited father! I hope i get stationed to a planet like Auder-II! Or Oscion! Or Haelsier!" Krellar shouted with great excitement in his voice.
 * "Well, I don't think they will assign you to such important planets so soon. They never did when I was in the military. In fact, I stayed on the same planet my whole career. There was nothing particularly interesting on it, except that it was the former home race of a conquered species."
 * "What was it called?"
 * "You've probably never heard of it. It was called Hyorindar. It was a strange planet. And then the military decided to test a new Planet Buster prototype on it."
 * "Did the Buster work?"
 * "Of course it did! There was nothing left of that planet but a molten core. But even if the weapon worked fine, I was out of work. They never reassigned me." Krellar's father explained, looking down on the floor.
 * "Well what'd you do?" Krellar was eager to know.
 * "I had nothing to do! I had no options. So I just bought a ticket to Jora, worked in a restaurant in Chlen for about 10 years, met your mother, got married, and then you were born. So we moved out to the countryside. And well... here we are today."
 * "I just hope that they don't decommission me when I'm on my assigned planet." Krellar remarked.
 * "It's highly doubtful that they will. It's extremely rare for that to happen. Unless, of course, you commit some sort of major penalty."
