His eyes snapped open the instant he felt it. “So, my friend, you bring a son into this world, who has the power.” The energies of the planet were absorbed as he meditated in the Core of the Academy, in the centre of this world. He frowned, though. “But this was a few years ago. Why have I just now noticed?” The man shook his head, but stopped and smirked. “But of course. Even now he exercises his power over you.”


Star Office, Kremlin Palace

“Hey, dad, where’s Uncle John?” Xavier Alexeitovich Andropov, the fifteen year old son of the Tsar and Tsarina, was playing with a sword when he asked. Prince John tended to sword fight with the young Xavier in his down time. Lauren Andropov, the twenty-two year old daughter of the Tsar and Tsarina, looked up from her book at her father. “Yeah, where is John, anyways?”

“He’s out in Nova Prussia, at the moment. Some exploring work, if I recall correctly. Don’t you have an exam to be studying for?” Lauren shifted her eyes in a very deliberate fashion.

“Nnnnoooo…” She giggled a little when Alexei narrowed his eyes. He then proceeded to throw a pen at her, catching her off guard and falling off her chair from recoiling from the flying pen. The young Xavier immediately jumped on her and started tickling her, getting revenge for the big sister harassing the little brother. The Tsar looked over his desk at the squirming and laughing Lauren and chuckled.

“I do believe you were just beaten by your younger brother. Shame on you, Lauren. But excellent work, Xavier, if I do say so myself. You are learning well.” He grinned as his son got off of her and ran back on the other side of the Tsar’s desk, leaving Lauren on the ground curled up in the foetal position. “Now, go study for your exam, or you’ll suffer worse. Besides, how would it look like of the daughter of the Tsar failed a political science test? I’d never hear the end of it.”

“All right, all right! I’ll go study.” Lauren slowly got up from the floor and made her way to the Private Chambers as Alexei prepared for a meeting with his Finance Minister. Time to go into Boring Mode.

Awaken.

Xavier's eyes shot open when he heard the echo inside of him. "What was that?" That was wierd, he thought. It was like a wave of energy went through him. Must have been a carryover from my dream. Meh. He shruged it off and started to drift back to sleep.

Awaken, Xavier.

The young Tsarevich shot up in bed. Shit, that wasn't any dream. Again, the wave of energy came through him, but it seemed like it stayed longer than before, some of it permanent.


Yes, you can feel the energy, can't you?

"What the hell? Who are you?"

Who I am is of no consequence. It is YOU who is important.

"Wha?"

You are the one of our blood, Xavier. You are the one who will bring the great Empire back. Feel the energy flowing through you, Xavier Andropov. Harness it. Meditate on it. You will gain it slowly.

"Why?"

For the greatness of your Empire, Xavier. For your greatness and power. You will need it. We will meet in person eventually, but first you must feel it.

"That is...strange," Alexei commented after hearing Xavier's story in the morning.

"Have you ever had anything like that when you were Tsarevich?" Alexei shook his head.

"No, I did not." But I never had time to be Tsarevich.

"Do you know what it means?" Alexei thought hard, but even after a few minutes, he could think of nothing.

"No, son, I can't. I'll ask around, though. I know some people who could help you."
