Galactic Renaissance

By Dante Andre Chavez

Two separate factions had been formed—the Republican Empire and the Federal Order. A vision has been foretold by a Sirvan Lord, one of the Galactic Legends, during his sleep regarding his own descendant from the future. Thousands of years later, the descendant was born. He lived an unfair life. He started out as a Semanti and later fell to the dark side, becoming a Sirvan, as foretold in a vision dreamt by his ancestor. The descendant had been convinced to turn to the dark side, making him give in. For revenge, he gave the order to slaughter every last Semanti that rejected him, no longer showing mercy on them. The only hope for the Semanti is for someone to bring balance to the Inertia and to the galaxy.

In times past, only a very few Semanti knights survived the attack of the Federal Order. One of them, by the name of Jessica Stellox, stood up to a Sirvan named Lord Corvus, who possesses powerful abilities and had a mysterious past. Now, she and the surviving Semanti form the Star Squadron, a band of little known heroes, were to fight against the Federal Order. Out of nowhere, Jessika senses that an old friend is still alive and not dead like everyone thought. Jessika hopes to find out who it is.

Chapter 1

It had been so long ever since the Ancient Era. A new era had already begun and took place from 2032 BTC. It had been more than two thousand years. The Semanti heard of a vision about the foretold individual bringing balance to the galaxy, including the Inertia.

They looked and searched every corner, but they weren’t able to find him. However, one Semanti greatly believed that it was still possible. He went to the Semanti Council to tell them. His name was Malcolm Walt, a Semanti master.

I believe that the person could still be found if we continue trying, he proposed.

The Council laughed and thought it wasn’t possible for they’ve been looking and failed.

Look, Malcolm, said one of the members of the Council, we’ve been searching, but there seems to be no one who can bring the balance to our galaxy.

Malcolm ended up agreeing and took off. The Semanti palace, with its Council, was on the planet Calab. Malcolm sought out a friend to hang out with.

Malcolm’s friend, Manny, was the best source for help. Malcolm knew that Manny would understand. Manny was only a teenager and was a smuggler. When Malcolm finds him in a cantina on Calab, Manny was there having his drink.

Manny, my old friend, Malcolm says.

Manny was glad to see his old pal, Malcolm, seeing that he looked a little down.

What’s wrong? Manny asked.

I had thought that maybe one day someone will bring balance to the galaxy, Malcolm explained.

At first, Manny thought it was something crazy. Manny had been through things that no other teenager had ever experienced. He thought the balance wouldn’t happen.

I hear you, Malcolm, Manny said, but I’ve seen people try to bring balance and peace to the galaxy. It doesn’t last too long because some people keep wanting more power for themselves.

Malcolm didn’t want to agree, considering how eager he was in the search. Both Malcolm and Manny were humans. Malcolm had brown hair and wore robes. Manny was blonde with an outfit for a smuggler.

Want to stop by Rroya? Malcolm offered.

Manny accepted the offer.

Malcolm found his starfighter outside. All Semanti had their own starships. Same design, size, and shape, but the colors were different. Malcolm was worried that Manny wouldn’t fit. The starship was designed for one person to pilot it. Malcolm looked at him with concern.

Don’t worry, Malcolm, I got my own ship, Manny comforted Malcolm. It has seven seats, and I got myself a pilot drone as my co-pilot. His name is Reggie.

Shortly after, they both got into their starships.

Manny found Reggie on a seat.

Well, Reggie, Manny tells his drone, looks like we’ll be stopping by the desert planet Rroya for a hangout.

Reggie readied the ship with a few buttons and switches. Manny did the same. Once Malcolm went off, Manny and Reggie followed. They left Calab, the planet of a coniferous forest terrain, and headed for Rroya. They also left the Plantican Section where Calab was located. When they left the atmosphere, they went for lightspeed until they reached the Crimsonik Section of the solar system, where they found Rroya.

They then landed on Rroya, next to each other’s ship.

Wait here for me, Manny ordered Reggie. I’ll be here as soon as possible.

Reggie began to wait. Manny and Malcolm got together to find a city. Malcolm displayed a holographic map using his projector.

We’re here, and Esa Lee’zay should be around somewhere there, Malcolm said, seeing the distance of the town from where they are.

Manny noticed some sinking spots on the map. He pointed to them.

We’ll circle around them, Malcolm added.

They began their journey to the town.

When they were almost there, Manny was starting to get worried about something. Malcolm could tell and sense it.

Is everything all right, Manny? he asked out of concern.

Manny remembered something about Esa Lee’zay. He didn’t want to bump into someone he knew.

I know someone there, and he’s a bounty hunter that has been looking for me, Manny revealed.

What about him? Malcolm asked.

He was hired by a crime boss by the name Java Elon. I one time owed him something and didn’t pay it. We need to go to another town.

Malcolm then revised the plan. Let’s do this: I convince him to let you go, so we can have our good time hanging out, Malcolm explained.

They entered a cantina, so far not seeing Elon or the bounty hunter. When least expecting it, Malcolm was sensing something—an Inertia-sensitive individual. When Malcolm saw a young kid having a drink alone that wasn’t an alcoholic beverage, he went to him.

Hello, can I know who you are, young man? Malcolm asked politely.

The boy stood quiet. He didn’t say a word. He wasn’t used to talking to people he didn’t know.

Fine, talk whenever you need to, Malcolm said respectfully.

It became quiet for the next few seconds.

The boy started talking by saying, I’m Donto Craigston. May I ask who you are?

Malcolm then introduced himself and his friend. Malcolm was pleased to find someone like Donto. Unfortunately, Manny saw the bounty hunter. He hid behind a corner, hoping the bounty hunter would miss him. Malcolm noticed and waved his hand around right before Manny was spotted. The bounty hunter exited the cantina as soon as possible. Manny was totally surprised at what happened.

How did you do that? Manny asked.

It’s a trick that both Semanti and Sirvan do, Malcolm answered him. We call it thought persuasion. I can think of what I want someone to do or influence anyone’s thought and make them do it by waving my hand. It cannot be resisted by individuals who don’t use the Inertia.

Manny liked the sound of that, now wishing to have that ability.

However, Sirvan or other Semanti like me are able to resist it, Malcolm added.

Now a part of Manny stopped wishing to have it.

Malcolm introduced Manny to Donto and they left the cantina. It was too bad that Java Elon was right outside. He was a male Rroyan.

Manny, he said, it’s good to see you.

Manny disagreed. Elon was stuck onto the
