Mericia: The Story

## Story

### Main Story

"The world of Mericia, a place of old and forgotten legend, this world was sealed off long ago and it shall remain sealed off as long as *they* rule this world in the place of our king" spoke Commander Aegon.

"I agree commander, but there are some events that have come to pass that I think might interest you, a boy named Maximillian Wayne helped save the world known as Earth and its local government." replied the hooded female figure.

"Your majesty, I've heard of the events but what would you like us to do?" replied Aegon

"Bring him to Mericia, I have got a feeling that *they* have no idea my son still lives, I must return to the palace in order to seem like I'm not disobeying *their* commands", after speaking the hooded figure briskly walked away from the room and crossed through a swirling rift that returned her to the palace. Aegon headed her orders and set out for Earth... this is where our story begins.

Aegon walked through the pristine halls of the Wayne Corp. Research Development Building on Earth, stunned by its beauty and comparing some of the design aspects to the buildings of Mericia, he had stopped to gaze at a painting, unbeknownst to him the man he had searched for came right up to him.

"Beautiful painting isn't it?" Maximillian spoke in slightly rough voice as he sipped on his fresh made latte.

"The painting is quite beautiful. Who might you be sir?" replied Aegon wearing more casual clothes in order to blend into the general feel of humanity.

"My name is Maximillian Wayne, I'm the CEO of Wayne Corp, the owner of both the painting and the building." He chuckled as he spoke, looking at Aegon with those sparkling ice blue eyes and continued, "For what it's worth, when I first got here I also tried to blend in. I pose the same question that you asked me, and Whom might you be?"

Aegon stunned at Maximillian's eloquent speech pattern remarked, "I am Aegon, High Commander of the Merician Royal Navy, I came searching for you sir."

"Now that's an interesting mystery.... Follow me for a moment so we can talk somewhere more private." Maximillian spoke quietly. The two men headed to an elevator that took them to the top of the building and into Maximillian's office. Aegon was surprised to see the beautiful view from the top of the building and continued to speak, "Sir, have you ever had any thought to your last name?"

"No, honestly for all of my intelligence and brilliance I had not actually thought about the meaning or heritage of my last name. Why do you ask?" Maximillian replied quizzically.

"You might be related to the House of Wayne, the royal family and was the ruling family of Mericia until *they* came and took charge" replied Aegon as his voice transitioned from a cheery and happy tone to a disgusted tone.

"I know who *they* are.... The Masters, a cabal of power hungry men and control freaks" replied Maximillian

"So will you come with me to save your former home?" replied Aegon with a smile and face full of hope.

"Gladly, however when we get there I will want to run some DNA tests, to prove both the royal family and my own suspicions." replied Maximillian and he continued "Give me accouple of hours to prep some things and I will send someone for you." After gathering Aegon's current quarters, Maximillian prepped the Destiny's Arrow for the flight to Mericia. After the preparation, Maximillian brought Aegon to his ship.

"Welcome to the Destiny's Arrow, Aegon, would you put the coordinates for Mericia in the jump computer" Maximillian began as he pointed towards the computer to the right of the captain's chair.

"You still have yet to stop amazing me" replied Aegon, as he put the coordinates into the computer, the computer chimed and spoke in a deep robotic masculine voice as he finished, "Coordinates Inputted, Destination Identified, Estimated Time of Arrival 45 minutes at maximum warp." Aegon looked at Maximillian in a look of shock and amusement, "it took me four days to get to Earth... It will seriously will only take 45 minutes to get to the other side of the galaxy?!?!"

"Yeah, I've got a really great warp drive." replied Maximillian almost at the point of laughter.

*Forty Five Minutes Later.*

### Epilogue

As they stepped out of the swirling portal, they came to a shining silver terrace laced with ancient runes glowing with mythical power. As the group looked up they beheld the deep blue skyline with three towering cities made of chrome with the portal cracked sky with two moons in the two major cracks.

“What is this place?” replied Sebrina with a look of amazement on her face

“I agree, you got some explaining to do” replied Rick dumbfounded at what he was beholding

“Welcome to Mericia, … My home” replied Maximillian with a relieved sigh.

“This is your home, the world is legend from technological wonders to the military might of its navy… how can you be from *this world*” questioned Sabrina.

A hovering motorcycle landed nearby the steps adjacent to the terrace; its armored rider, wearing the crest of the royal family, ran up the stairs at a fast click running towards the group.

“Sir, your presence is requested by the High Council and your father.” replied the messenger

“May I bring my friends along, or is it of the utmost secrecy?” replied Maximillian

“I’m not sure my prince.” replied the messenger

Sabrina looked at Maximillian and gawked and then replied “You’re a prince of the ---”

The messenger interrupted “My lady, he is the Crown-Prince of the Merician Empire.”

“So I got to go now I’ll get a transport to come fetch you guys.” replied Maximillian hopping onto the motorcycle.

The motorcycle flew off at a rapid pace into the sky making a b-line towards the palace. Sabrina and Rick stood gazing off into the distance when a transport arrived.

“Lady Sabrina Mondez and Prince Rick Martinez, the Crown-Prince of Mericia requests that you come with us.” replied the densely armored messenger.

“Rick lets go, maybe we can discover what is going on” replied Sabrina

“Alright maybe we can get some answers.” replied Rick
