In a small bar in an unknown town, two old tirs were having a drink.
One of them, who was a black smith spoke to his friend.
" Did you hear it…"
The other person, who was an old barber, retorted " How can I not hear, the whole planet is talking about it… A revolution by the people."
The old blacksmith showed the gesture to keep quiet " shhh… don't speak that word, the governnt had ordered to arrest anyone that spoke that word…"
The barber gave a cold snort " What now we can't even speak a word, I don't know if that thing was a prophecy or not … but whatever it said about the current situation is true, we are nothing better than slaves and if this continue our children and children's children will also be nothing more than slaves… "
The old blacksmith had depressed face but stopped his friend from talking any further
" That is enough, Ram . We are too weak and powerless, we can't offend the people in power… if soone hears what you're saying you will end up in trouble…"
The barber had a contorted face, while gulping his glass of rum in a single sip and then slamd the glass on the table.
" Old Botan, we have lived our whole life cowering in fear, are you afraid of death at your age when half your feet is already in the grave… hah… it is this fear, this fear that controls us and makes us submissive slaves.
Only strength can relieve us of this fear, and like that slogan of the prophecy we might be weak alone but united we are much stronger and what more we have to lose, my friend other than these chains that bind our hands… haha.."
The old blacksmith seed like he had gained a little courage from his friends words but he was still a little hesitant.
" But what about our family and children, the governnt severely punishes even the family of anyone that protests against them… and there are also the rebel forces under the king that are still fighting.."
The barber had a solemn face and looked calm " It is exactly for our families and children that we should stand up, we will not let children of our grandchildren's to suffer this evil… we have hoped all this ti that the rebel forces led by the King would be able to do sothing, but nothing changed much… maybe it's ti we stood up for ourselves"
All of a sudden the barman appeared before both of them, the black smith who was timid of the two had a little panicked expression.
The burly middle aged barman looked at both of the old tirs with a serious scrutinizing expression as if he had heard every thing that they have discussed just now.
The blacksmith beca more afraid, but before he could give an explanation.
Thud…
The barman put two glasses of fine whisky in front of both of them.
" You are right old man Ram, this is on the house.."
Then he turned away muttering sothing slowly, even though he was muttering it the blacksmith could clearly hear it.
"Ordinary n of the world Unite.
Unite and unite to beco stronger,
For you have nothing to lose but the chains that bind your hands.."
"Long live the Revolution…"
The blacksmith could only take a deep breath, while he heard his old friend also mutter " Long live the revolution.."
As if a viral infection that had spread fast, the old black smith also slowly muttered " Long live the revolution…"
This was not an isolated incident, throughout the planet similar incidents were happening all around.
There were also all kinds of argunts happening both against and for the revolution, argunts were going even inside the family between husband and wife related to the matter.
The most heated argunt was among the younger generation, all kinds of debates started popping up among friends, coworkers and fellow students .
The whole planet was under turmoil and the storm started getting stronger and stronger as more ti passed.
Inside the presidential office by the parliantary building. The grey eyed Gabe was standing in front of the president, with a horrible expression as he wiped the sweat on his forehead every now and then.
The president kept looking at the files that were projected in front of him as a 3D projection. Gabe could see that the president's face was becoming more and more contorted as more he looked into the files before him, later his eyes were also becoming redder.
Then he slowly closed his eyes to calm down and asked the grey eyed middle aged man sitting in front of him.
" So we have completely failed to control the situation and the whole of the planet is debating about how to fight against the atrocities that we are conducting...hmph… And you don't have any clue on how this ancient technology just started playing this recorded ssage that has started all this ruckus…"
Gabe humbly replayed " Sir we have already recovered the ancient machinery that was tampered with. This was done ticulously by adding a new modern equipnt to the ancient machinery that was already there.
We suspect that this was the doing of the rebels…."
The head of the alliance intelligence force was completely muted by the killing intent that had already enveloped him " you suspect…. You suspect… soone had planned sothing this big and executed it flawlessly and still you are suspecting that it might be rebels… you don't even have any concrete proof…"
After a pause the president continued in a much more colder tone " Have you been sitting on the chair of the head of intelligence departnt for this long, has it made you complacent…. I will tell you this much, soon that person is going to contact and I will have to point him towards so direction… I hope that you are not the one standing in that direction, I don't want soone whom I have personally promoted to die because of incompetence because it shows my incompetence….. So listen carefully Gabe, I don't care what you do or how you do, I want you to get to the root of this matter by tomorrow and completely block any news or forum or whatever that is related to this matter. I don't even want to hear a murmur regarding this…. Do you understand, if you do, then get lost…"
The head of intelligence had an ashen face as he humbly left the presidential office.
After pondering for a while , the president pressed a button on his table and his secretary, a beautiful blonde woman ca in and bowed slightly.
" Call for a eting of the seven family heads and notify them as urgent.."
...….
going back a little while.
As the hurricane was brewing the main culprit behind this whole event, Dror was inside a forested area nearby the Hallmark town and fidgeting with his sky watch.
A special big piece of equipnt which was a mix of the ancient equipnt and modern equipnt lay beside his leg.
But Dror was more focused on his Sky watch now as he was submitting different translated ssages to one node after another.
He had also added many half translated ssages along with the real translation from all kinds of fake id's.
Soon this has also given rise to all kinds of rumors throughout the planet.
So considered this as so kind of hoax, while so consider it to to be a genuine prophesy from an ancient sage of the past.
But it didn't matter what they believed, things started changing from that mont.
The people who were being continuously exploited for a very long ti, who had lost most of their hope, found a glimr again.
After all they were struggling hard in the darkness for a little light and when they saw a little light, it didn't matter anymore if it was an illusion or fake, the only thing in their heart was they saw sothing and this point in itself was a new seed of hope in them .
This is also exactly what Dror wanted, to plant that seed to begin with .
He knew himself that this won't change them in one day to take arms and fight against the alliance governnt.
He needed to make them realize and make this little seed of hope grow slowly, for that he needed to water it and nurture it.
The Alliance governnt was a little late to act , in fact they were too late to act by the ti they tried to block the nodes and forums, along with the spreading rumors, The damage had already been done.
Dror received a call in his sky watch at the sa ti, Dror had a smirk when he saw who was calling.
Taking the call he spoke in a casual tone " What's up Deputy Major, you know. I am really busy right now with sothing really urgent…"
the person on the other side of the call gave a cold snort...
