The Mad Planet (Yillum the Great))The Cadaverous Planets))
Chapter One The Grotto City
All of Moiromma (a frozen planet beyond earths solar system), was in rage. The mad planet and its several horde kings had fought a great and last battle in the Northlands, of the planet. There were rummors concerning this most trying occurance, this last battle, and its new king. All the peoples form far and near come to one spot called Old Bishops Valley it was where the Bishop of Burgge had lived and died some years pass, eaten up by the giant worms of the Northlands of the planet. These great ice worms lived in the north and grew to immense weights, and had ferocious appetites. Thus, the new king had yet to appear to his people, and the crowd, conquered and conquerors, awaited his appearance in the many ice castles built in the area to hold the 9000-citizens and soldiers, not counting the 1000-whom would not surrender or give their allegance to the new world order.
< p>No man had seen this new king, who had fought off all the cellkings of Moiromma, no one accepat his army of soldiers, and the citizens that followed him from battle to battle. In addition to the ice castles built on top of the surface of this area, and upon the 400-foot thick, glacier, that paralled the valley, they dug deep into the bowels of the planet, to old tunnels built centures before, when the land was not all ice, and there they created a underground city: the Grotto City. And here is where the king had intentions to find the 1000-rebels, and execute them.
There had been mumblings within and around the newly created region, called the The Bishops Valley. Who was this new king? Everyone wondered, a mysterious figure it was said, from another planet, far off in another galexy. In time it was said he was from a moon that circled a planet called SSARG, and was looking for a lost love, a woman called Siren the Great. General Rice, a moirommalite, had joined forc es with the new king, and thus helped conquer the planet of Moiromma. They had all dressed up like beggars, and became spies for the king, thus, it was easy to know when and where to attack, and henceforward, he became king within a short period of time. In this process of spying and conquering, he never stopped looking for Siren, he wanted to give her the whole planet as a gift, or perhaps even take her back to his planetoid, his moon kingdom where he was prince. And so, the General had every cell group within the Southern area of the planet check for her, now the north. And no one had seen her. So it would be the Great Serrias, of the Northlands left to check. The new kings army, the army he had arrived with when he came to Moiromma, was only 100-soldiers total, but with wit and having the Moirommalites work against their own people for riches and wants, he conquered the whole planet except for the Great Serrias.
Chapter Two Yillum the Great
Not many folks could remember the old Bishop of Burgges, he had come from the planet Earth, and was facinated with the life and culture of Moiromma, but the planet became too much for him, it was too maddening, to cruel for him to live among the cell groups of the south, and thus, moved to the north, which was cold year round, whereas, the south was cold, but had a summer where it was above freezing, and when it got cold in the winter, it never got as hazardous as the north country; therefore he felt safer living a hermits life, in his wooden, only wooden house in the north, and one of the few in the south. Anyone who could boast a wooden house was rich, and if he could keep it he was most witty at that. Thus, the old timers had a vague memor of the Bishop, who had changed his name in the cold north, but it is not worth telling much more of this person, lest we get lost in old memories, and now we are among a plagued king, once young and a prince, but now middle aged, and a great king to a new world, King Yillum. He was tyronical and corrupt in his own way, not like he used to be when he had first met this woman called Siren. He was throwing every Moirommolite who defied him into the cold dunges of the earth, to rot and die a miserable death. What good he had once, seemed to be lost. And the people of the planet had prayed to the many gods they knew of, for Siren to appear and marry this mad king, who had turned their planet into a mad planet.
Chapter Three Siren the Great, and the Bear-men
The General had checked the Sirrias for several months, looking for the kings lost love; now the General being the Minister of War, in addition to his other titles of General, and Advisor to the King. And in his long and trying search, he found a cell within the mountains, 16,000-feet up, and the General attacked what was called the bear-men, they were those who would bring down the mountains magical ice, place it in their abodes, and when they needed a mag ic, thus, they would drink it and sometimes could disapear to fight their enemies. And this is exactly what happened, the General came with 100-soldiers and found the bear-men drinking the ice, then they attacked, but it was shadows they were fighting. When the battle was over, there were only twenty five of the kings soldiers left, and the general. Then the ten bear-men appeared, and frightened the Genearl and his soldiers almost to death, and there, was Siren, standing behind the bear-men, being protected.
I tell you Siren, said the General, If I do not bring you back to our Mad King, Yillum, he will kill the whole population, and me. This matter will not be settled until you settle it with the king.
Siren knew the king, but it was her mother whom he had fallen in love with, not her, and she was residue in her brain, and only on his planetoid could she materalize into a full being, and only a ghost type being at that. Her conclusion was that, the king wanted her because, her mother was inside of her, and she was physical, and thus, could have a relationship with her mother through her. Yillum would take whatever he could. Sirens mother had chosen Siren in place of the once Prince of SSARGs moon, and that has always bothered him.
Yes, said Siren, I will return with you to the new king of Moiromma, but only because you have suggested it, perhaps he will regret my appearance, and perhaps he should get his coffin built before hand. Go tell him, I am coming, and it would be wise of you to tell your soldiers to not do a thing if I plan on battling it with the king. You have seen what the bear-men can do, and you have heard what I can do, and my mother is still within my brain.
Upon the Generals return, he informed Yillum of the great battle that took place, but he modifed it, saying:
Your majesty, we won a great battle over Siren, and to keep peace, I allowed her to live, and she said shed return to see you in a day.
Said the king, with venom in his voice: Should she not return, I myself will kill you for allowing her this freedom. The general said not a word.
It was but a day and Siren the Great did show up, in the Bishops Valley, and stood in front of the new king. The General with fifty guards around him, at his command. But most were Moirommolits, for there were only fifteen of the Kings original 100-soldiers left.
I demand you marry me, and give me access to your mother. Said the king.
She doesnt want to speak to you, for you are a wicked king, and must be killed, and you have made this planet into a mad planet, and I am here to kill you and set them free. The king knew if he killed Siren, he also killed her mother, his old lover; but now he was full of pride and power, and said, harshly,
If I can not have you with your mother, then it is better for you both to be dead, and then the king looked at the General, said, Kill her, he yelled and comm anded, but no one moved, the General said not a word. When one of the original 100-men came out to stick a sword into Sirens heart, a ghost of a wind cut the soldiers head off. The king was amazed, looked at Siren, and in fright: Kill her General, I command you right now! But the general said not a word, gave no such command, and when the king went to kill the General, Siren grabbed his sword, and cut his legs off, so all the soldiers could see how helpless he was. Then the king tried to throw the sword at the general, but he caught it, and cut his right hand off. And his blood spurted all about, and the bear-men appeared before Siren, and the General.
The General was given Command of the people by Siren, to judge, lead and should he be like Yillum, to be judged by the people, should she return and find him in such a position. And she returned to the Sirreas, with the bear-men.
