Chapter 6: The Baron
Tall walls in a dark and cold room. The only lights shining were the red lights from the shield of the Baron sitting on a throne made of ruby.
A slave was being judged by the Judges of the Truth, a counsel formed by 5 strange looking humans, their faces were gray and their eyes were purple, from what I’ve heard, the Counsel was formed by the same people that controlled the space travel and the spaceships.
The slave was being judged for smuggling Spice outside of the planet, they took a big bag and dumped thousands of Wallace chips in front of him, they claimed that those chips were his and that he needed to pay the consequences.
A Judge rose his hand and the slave began to shake and cry desperately due to the pain inflicted by the power of the Judge’s hands, and screamed mercy to the Baron.
Then the Baron said with a voice rich with a tone of irony:
Stop. I think he understands what he’s going through and will not repeat his actions.
He stood up and began to float towards the slave.
Red blood suddenly splashed onto Baron’s face and the slave’s body fell cold on the ground, while still looking to the that poor soul, the Barons cleaned his hands with his own spice clothing.
That was I what I saw within my vision, I’ve never stood by the Baron’s and the Jury of the Truth, but I knew that the only opportunity to destroy Wallace was to take charge of that Planet. Since Spice was the power to the Wallace Chips and the Wallace Empire, then the pathway to the New Order was the Baron’s death.
I remembered that the Baron used a shield during the judgement and that the technology used in it could be disabled by a code. The code was given to me by the Oracle.

100 standard days after
Another Spice mining day, another day under the boiling sun of the that planet. That was the day that the Baron would fall.
I saw a guard starring at Irubella, he was so distracted that couldn’t even notice that I took his 2nd knife next to his ankles, that was the knife that would end the period of dictatorship on that planet and would help to dethrone The Great Wallace IX.
Then, by the night I prepared myself to be caught sneaking outside the tents with the knife under my shoes so that the guards wouldn’t be able to find it when searching for it.
The time has come.
The judgement day.
He was sitting and not even paying attention to the words of the Judge, but then with a sudden scream I took his attention. And he said:
“Who is the one that raises the voice in front of me? The only thing that I know is the words spoken will be his last. I will shut him up.”
That moment. That moment was already been seen inside my head hundreds of times, I knew what was about to happen.
He came to me.
Fearless.
Foolish.
Three numbers came out of my mouth. I knew them since the visions started. The Oracle gave them to me.
The shield turned off, one movement, so fast that not even the guard noticed until the huge body fell like a big tree being cutoff, the Baron was lying dead on the floor, and the next movement was about to begin.
The next step. The Wallace Empire.
The Fall.
What was the code given by the Oracle?
