Wherever Through the Blackened Orion
A Treasure Planet Fanfiction

Prologue

There are many different worlds apart across our universe. Worlds filled with fantastic creatures that has never even been imagined before and far away planets along with extraordinary adventures that goes beyond the imagination and the craziest dreams a child or man could have ever dreamed of. Many people on planet Earth dared to dream the impossible, sincerely hoping their thoughts and hypothesis about other forms of life would eventually become reality. But who in the world would’ve ever thought that all this imagination and nearly nonsense would eventually become fundamental?

In a remote corner of space, at nearly 2,55 million light-years from our galaxy, is the Andromeda galaxy. Among its thousands of billions of stars and countless planetary systems, there is one, not so different from our solar system, known as the Etherium. The Etherium system seems to have more than twenty habitable planets, each inhabited by some kind of extraterrestrial beings and, surprisingly, very few human beings. With time, people of the Etherium (let’s call them the Etherians from now on) has developed a kind of technology that gave them the opportunity to travel from planet to planet and a few years after, the technology had been developed at some point it would give them the possibility to travel to another planetary system in another galaxy in the matter of only few months. The technology that allows them to travel this way is actually a kind of spaceship, quite alike the boats we know and use to travel over seas on Earth.

Through the many years and centuries following the existence of the Etherium, the twenty planets came to form commercial alliances with each other and soon after, these commercial alliances became political alliances, giving birth to the Royal Union of Etherium (R.U.E.). They first elected a prime minister who decided to take over the entire system, creating civil wars and many conflicts between certain planets. Principal economic resources of many planets, like minerals, water and precious metal, were stolen from citizens who inhabited them and entire villages were reduced to slavery or were burned to the ground, creating blackened spots on the grounds. This great endless war or the Blackened War (as etherians called it after the remaining ashes of burnt villages) had lasted over 30 years before the prime minister was finally arrested and executed. Afterwards, a king and a queen were chosen by all etherian citizens. Together, they bring back peace and harmony through the Etherium.

In 1977, planet Earth, when the Voyager Golden Record was launched by the NASA, the culture and knowledge of the etherians would change forever. After over a million years wandering across the universe, the probe finally reached the Andromeda galaxy. The discovery of the probe and the hypothesis about the existence of another form of life by the scientists and astrophysicists of the Etherium made controversy among the royal representatives of the R.U.E. Once the case was made public, the etherian citizens’ mentality changed. New genres of music and many brand new languages enabled the population to be more open-minded and better educated. The invention of new concepts inspired by some from the planet Earth, such as musical instruments, electronic gadgets, electricity and cigarettes appeared and gained popularity, marking the beginning of a new generation.
Here it is! The improved version of the fan fiction I've been working on for a while... I finally have a little bit of free time to write and to improve the storyline. I thought it would be a good idea for the story to be based on certain true events and facts (I'm talking here about the launch of the record and the information about the Andromeda galaxy...) to make the story seem a bit more ''realistic''... After all, that's what fiction is about, right? ^^ Sooo... yeah here is the prologue, chapter 1 will be posted as soon as possible and I really hope you enjoy it! ^^
