"After two weeks!! After me giving you two goddamn weeks you still have the guts to tell me you haven't found them!!"
In the Palace of nothingness. The palace lord was raging at his subordinate. The two shadowy figures looked iconic in the eerie room, one on a throne berating angrily while the other on his knees shivering.
The subordinate felt like pissing himself in fear but he didn't have the courage to even do that. The palace lord was usually a secluded and reclusive figure, calm to the point he could be regarded as cold, but when he got angry heads rolled.
Seeing the pitiful state of his loyal subordinate, the palace lord felt a little bit o remorse but that was soon replaced by disgust.
"A pathetic waste like you with no backbone isn't fit for my nothingness palace!!!. Be gone!!" He proclaimed.
As soon as the sentence left his mouth the kneeling subordinate began to fade from existence.
"Master!!!. No please don't....." The subordinate tried to plea for his life, but before he could finish a single sentence, his body had already been erased totally.
That was the terrifying power of nothingness, the palace lord had just simply made a statement and the subordinate had been deleted just like that.
" Piece of garbage!!" He spat in disgust and rage.
"Sisomi!!!"
"Master!!"
"Find me the heir and that thing or don't bother coming back!"
~damn it!! That fool just had to get master pissed~ Those were the thoughts of the beautiful black haired figure dressed in an all black seductive attire as she flitted through the twinkling stars.

Meanwhile on a yacht headed for the badlands, a scrawny looking youth with geeky glasses and an oddly cute but freckled face was bent over a table, carefully observing what seemed to be a map.
On another side of the yacht, a man and a cat, both with contrasting hair colors, were lying on a recliner, the man with a book in hand while the cat kept trying to snuggle it's way into his arms.
"Hey don't you have anything better to do other than lazing around all day with a book in hand?" Maya's crisp voice broke the serenity and calmness of the ship. During the past two weeks, she had taken on an habit of nagging at Von.
"Why don't you go check out what Johan's doing?" Von replied not bothering to look up from the book he was reading. He too had been just like Maya, bored to death, until he found a secret stash of novels hidden underneath the deck.
The thing was that the books seemed like history books, but they didn't talk about the history of this world. Maya had quickly lost interest in them and had went back to nagging on the boys as a pastime.
"Guys come quick!!" Johan's voice rang out in an excited tone making Maya and Peanuts who were the most bored of the lot quickly dash to where he was. Von also got up out of curiosity and made his way over.
" I managed to get the map working again and I linked it to my dad's old orbiter, now I can tell where we are and where we're heading!!!" Johan exclaimed in a rush as he tried to get all the information out all at once.
The others took a while to register what he had just said. For Maya, being able to tell how far and how long they were from civilization was something worth rejoicing about, she felt like she would soon go crazy being surrounded by such boring people .
One was a geek who only had time to tinker with his tech, the other was a cat that only knew how to sleep and the last was.....well daft or more accurately cold.
