S.P.E.C.T.O.R – [A Sci-fi space adventure with fantasy elements]

After she closed the stream, Tephe checked the location of Terrana Five in the universe before she happily jumped off her bed and ran over to her wardrobe, where she grabbed a large bag and started stuffing clothes and other essentials into it.

After quickly packing her things, she moved over to her writing desk and wrote a quick note for her parents before she picked the bag up and strode towards the window of her room, which was on the second floor of the castle and opened it.

Tephe quickly jumped out of the window, and as she fell towards the ground, large white dragon wings sprouted out of her back, which she quickly flapped, causing her to shoot towards the sky. Once she was high enough that her family wouldn’t spot her in her true form, she flung the bag into the air above her before she transformed into a large white dragon and caught the bag soon after.

With a flap of her mighty wings, she flew up even faster and quickly passed through the atmosphere of Darah five. Upon reaching orbit, she turned in the direction that Terrana Five was located and started to gather power within her.

If anyone was watching, they would see that Tephe’s already beautiful white scales started to shimmer and glow even whiter before she opened her mouth and shot out a beam of white energy into the space in front of her.

The space before her seemed to crack and arc with lightning as the white beam of energy Tephe released struck it. Like when Adam had left Earth and Spector had used its hyperdrive, the space before Tephe started to distort slightly before it seemed to split open, revealing a dark hole that had lightning flashing around the edge.

Tephe smiled after she stopped releasing the beam of energy, before she swiftly flew into the dark hole, which quickly closed behind her.

A few hours later, when a maid came to check on Tephe and instead found the note she had left her whole family flew into a panic.

”Yes, primesters, you heard me right, the Catonian ship I’m currently on has been granted the great honour of transporting my close personal friend Prince Chamix, the Catonian second prince, to Terrana Five for the Terran Imperial families’ celebration.” Prime boasted to his viewers as he stood on the bridge of a Catonian military ship.

”Now, while the Terran celebration isn’t really all that much of a big deal, the great Catonian race is required to send someone as a sign of diplomatic friendship since our races do share neighbouring galaxies.”

”While the celebration I’m sure won’t be all that impressive, I will still be streaming it to all of you primsters in order to point out where they went wrong and give them guidance on how they can make their next celebration better, though of course it will never compare to the celebrations my Catonian race holds.”

[Ah,h prime, you’re so generous.]

[I can’t believe you’re on the same ship that is transporting Prince Chamix. Did he ask for you to accompany him in person?]

[Of course he did, this is Prime we are talking about. He and the prince have been friends since childhood.]

[Strange how the prince has never mentioned being his friend.]

[Moderator has banned …]

”Hahaha, but of course, my friend Prince Chamix wanted me to personally accompany him. Unfortunately, he is still rather dubious when it comes to appearing on streams after what the Terrans did to the Solarian Princess Liluth Solar. But make no mistake that when I am not streaming, I will be accompanying him constantly.”

[Oh, Prime, you’re the best, I want your kittens.]

[Prime, make sure to protect our Prince Chamix.]

”A brothel! Really? That bastard.” Tessa complained at the holographic screen before her, which showed Adam’s stream as she sat at her reading desk in her room of the Terran Imperial palace, as her long black hair cascaded over the back of the chair she sat upon.

”Pervert.” She pouted as she closed the stream with a sigh. 

After composing herself, she stood up and walked towards her bedroom door before leaving it and entering one of the palace’s long hallways, where a few maids bowed as they passed her while saying, ”Princess”

”Do you know where my father currently is?” Tessa asked one of the maids.

”I believe his imperial highness is in his study, princess.” The maid replied.

”Thank you,” Tessa said to the maid before she turned and headed towards her father’s study, while a slight frown appeared on her beautiful face every so often as she walked along the palace hallways.

”Where are you off to, my daughter?” A beautiful voice suddenly called out, which caused Tessa to stop and turn towards a beautiful, mature woman who was almost the spitting image of Tessa, with the same long black hair and green eyes.

”Mother.” Tessa said with a beautiful smile before saying, ”I’m off to speak with father; we have an issue concerning his ascension celebration.”

”Oh, do tell me.” Tessa’s mother, Empress Victoria Terran, replied with interest.

”It would be best not to discuss it where prying ears can overhear us, as it’s quite… sensitive.”

”Oh my now I’m even more curious, has this by any chance got something to do with that streamer you’re always talking about?” 

”I’m not always talking about him, mother.” Tessa replied with a pout before adding, ”Though it does indirectly involve him.”

”Hehehe.” Victoria let out a beautiful laugh as she covered her mouth with one hand while looking at her daughter with love.

”Hmph.” Tessa pouted again before she started walking as Victoria followed behind her daughter, still laughing joyfully.

Soon they arrived at a large door that Tessa knocked upon and only opened it after they both heard a familiar voice say, ”Enter.”

Tessa opened the door and entered along with her mother before closing it behind her as she heard her father, the emperor, speak.

”No, that won’t do, most of the races had declined our invitation to the celebration, it is only our direct neighbours, such as the Catonians and Merinmians, that have agreed to come.”

”Troubles, Daniel?” Victoria asked as she sat on one of the large couches in the room.

”No, no, I was just discussing with Sebastian here the seating arrangements regarding the few prominent guests that will be attending, just the usual Victoria.” Daniel replied with a sigh as he indicated the butler who stood beside him before he looked at Tessa with a smile and asked, ”What brings you both here?”

”A slight situation has arisen regarding the celebration father.” 

”Oh, do tell.” Emperor Daniel Terran replied with curiosity.

”We have some… rather prominent guests that will be attending at the last minute.” 

”Oh, who?” Daniel asked with interest.

”Diva Rowena Nosferatu, for starters.” 

”While surprising, it is not entirely unexpected since Diva Lorelie is currently within the city, I am sure she is just coming to check on her friend,” Victoria stated.

”Not exactly, mother.” Tessa replied before continuing, ”Then there is Lord Malacoss.”

”The ruler of Deverinian Nine and close council to the Demon King?” Daniel asked in surprise as Victoria also showed surprise on her beautiful face.

”Why would Lord Malacoss be attending? I was under the impression he politely refused the invitation we sent him.” Victoria asked.

”Because of the final guest who has a rather ... special identity,” Tessa replied before taking a deep breath as she could anticipate her parents’ response to her next words, 

”Dragon Princess Tephe.” She said before waiting for the explosive response.

There was silence in the room as Emperor Daniel, Empress Victoria and Sebastian all stared at Tessa with open mouths and looks of shock.

It took a few moments, but soon the expected response came, ”WHAT!” Daniel shouted in surprise, and he jumped up from his chair.

”Daniel, calm yourself; it does not do for an Emperor to react in such a manner,” Victoria said, admonishing her husband though she herself still looked thoroughly surprised.

”Explain,” Daniel instructed as he sat back down and tried to calm himself.

Tessa nodded before explaining to her parents what had taken place in Adam’s stream surrounding dragon princess Tephe.

”You certainly have a good eye, my daughter.” Viktoria said proudly before continuing, ”This streamer is far from ordinary for him to gather such permanent figures from the universe in his stream, even if there are still not that many. I wonder how someone from outside the known universe is capable of such a thing, however?”

”Forget about some boy for now, we have to focus on the prominent figures that will be attending.” Daniel said before continuing, ”This could help our race regain some of its glory and recognition from the other races that was lost because of that damn brat.”

Victoria chuckled again before saying, ”So you claim, but you’re also worried about this boy stealing your darling daughter away.”

”Mother!” Tessa said while blushing, which only caused Victoria to chuckle more.
