It was so quiet that you could hear a pindrop, but silence never lasts long. Fast and light footsteps disturbed the silence. Whoever it was, he was in hurry.
Kviz had only one thought in his mind : "I must reach the queen as fast as I can. Xatris is in danger. I'm just glad that my senses did not failed me."
Although, two hours before the current events, Kviz was walking down the gallery. He just could not believe that all those things were a drill. "Why would they do a drill like that? We wasted huge amounts of energy shooting into 'nothing' and we were being hurried all the time. Right after the 'supposed' ship was destroyed, we had been told that it was only a drill. Something does not fit here. I think I have to check all this out right now."
Kviz quickly darted throught the gallery and ran into his friend's chamber. Willy the Mad was sitting on his sofa and napping. Kviz looked at his friend's body, which looked weak and didn't have any muscles. Willy the Mad was very slim and it looked like if wind blew, he would have been blown away. "Am I sure he can do it?" - Kviz started to have second thoughts, but there was no time and Kviz had only 1 option.
- "Willy, wake up! Now! Xatris needs your help." - Kviz started waking Willy up.
It did not take too much time and they both were near the Library's Info Center, which was guarded by 4 soldiers by the entrance.
- "Ok Willy, here's the plan. You will go and distract them while I get into the center and see what is...Willy? WILLY?!"
But Willy was not called Willy the Mad for nothing. He did not even listen to Kviz's advice, but instead just jumped out and took all 4 soldiers on. Needless to say, he killed first 2 with the element of surprise. The other two were shocked and died just a second after.
- "There, it's done, it's finished"- exclaimed Willy.
- "Ok Willy, guard the position. I wont need much time."
Kviz hurried into the Info Center. He knew that it was lunch time and that the center would be empty. He had never been there before and was very surprised : It was a huge chamber with monitors, computers, holograms, and service droids all over it.
- "So this is the main Command Center of Xatris...."- Kviz was amazed.
But he didn't waste much time on sightseeing and ran to the bigger computer with a huge hologram. Someone had not turned the program off and Kviz saw something, that disturbed him deeply. "There is no time to waste!" that was the only thought in Kviz's head.

---------------------------------------------

Kviz was running out of breath, but he was almost there. He knew that Willy the Mad was running beside him, even though couldn't hear his breathing, nor his footsteps...
They reached the final outpost before the Queen chambers. Kviz had a special pass to see the Queen at any time, but a captain, which was guarding the chambers, was new.
- "I am Kviz, Royal Historian of Xatris, and I must see the Queen right now. Its a very important matter."- Kviz almost yelled the last words.
- "I am sorry. Whoever you are, Queen has ordered that no one would disturb her." - The captain said calmly.
- "Here is the pass. Just look at it" - sighed Kviz.
Captain took the pass and studied it for about a minute. Kviz was losing his patience. Finally, some words came from captains mouth :
- "Proceed. But remember, if she will be mad, you shall be beheaded. Good luck, SIR!" (the last words where filled with hatred)
And Kviz proceeded through the door...
