429 A Heavy Burden

(Alpha Star System- Planet Gaia)

(Imperial Palace Complex- Underground)

The magnificent architecture of the numerous luxurious palaces could be easily admired and seen by anyone passing by the entrance to the Imperial Complex.

Of course, there were few that knew of the structures secretly built below these expensive mansions.

But even deeper still at a level right above the core of the planet was an unremarkable room. 

This room was only around the size of a small bedroom. There were no doors and nothing connecting it to the outside world.

It contained no furniture and those heavy stone walls, and a hard concrete floor resembled a prison cell.

Inside this simple room was an old man. He wore a plain white robe that had not a speck of dust on it.

His black hair with specks of grey was loosely tied in a ponytail that flowed down his back.
