Tersanctus

The cabinet was having their usual daily meeing to discuss the affairs of the nation. What was unusual about this particular one, was that Executor Dantes wasnt there. As a matter of fact the Secretaries had been waiting two hours. So to pass the time they spoke of the latest rumours.
"Have you heard he plans to increase the AMD numbers and enact a personal fleet for them?"
"He hasnt been the same since his contact with Pantera!"
"I think all this news of wars surrounding us is getting to him, thats all, he wants to increase our defenses so other countries think twice before interfering in our Nation!"
And so they went on for a few minutes, until a messenger rushed in screaming. "The Judicator Assembly is fallen! All members were slain! The AMD marches to the Office of the Executor as we speak!"
Yells of shock and suprise went up in the air, the Secretaries began yelling and screaming at one another, theories of rebellion and terrorism were thrown about.
Finally one of them said "Calm down!" "Turn on the TV lets see what news there is on this!"
As the television came to life there were images of the Assembly Hall smoldering, with panicked citizens running from men outfitted in the Armor of the Armored Marine Division leaving the building with there C-16 "Slayer" Rifles over ther shoulder.
"--conrirming reports that the AMD has attacked and killed every member of the Judicator Assembly! As we are showing you now, the AMD is walking through the streets as if just running a routine drill, they are not attacking any citizens or anyone, as a matter of fact I'm hearing rumours that people are saying they are being outright friendly towards them, saying 'we are doing this for you' I will bring further reports as more information becomes available. All we know is that the AMD is walking the streets, very calmly, walking towards what we think is the Office of the Executor."
Corresponding with that dialogue, walking main street, were perhaps 200 Armored Marines walking in formation with a few APC's behind them.
"What the HELL is going on? Where is Executor Dantes? His life may be in danger!!" Said one of the secretaries.
As if on cue, Executor Dantes walked in, dressed in a black Trenchcoat with a white dress shirt and black dress pants and shoes.
"Quite the Contrary! My life is in no Danger whatsoever! The AMD simply did what I asked them too! For you see the Judicator Assembly has held the power to veto my descisions for too long! Now, instead of being a nation of statesman and scholars and diplomats, we shall re-instill our warrior heritage! When was the last time the war crown was worn? When was the last time the blood of our enemies fertilized our feilds? We were once great! Three thousand years ago, 100 peasants defeated and killed an entire division of the Imperial Army! And now we lie in our own stagnation! I will end that age of so much commerce and dung! Now you will either support me on this, or your fates shall be the same of the Judicator Assembly! With 200 Armored Marines on their way, I think it is an easy choice!"
The secretaries sat in shock. But slowly they realized what had to be done. Patrick Stewart, his Secretary on Foriegn Relations, stood up. Old and wise, he was the Diplomat of the Group to be sure.
"Young Dantes, I have seen you grow up these many years, your 24 years on this earth isnt enough to make a descision like this! I have seen you exihibit wisdom, beyond your years, and I have seen in you the foolishness of youth! I think you are Impressionable still! Whatever influence Pantera or Damien has had on you, I pray will not lead this nation into ruin! But alas, you are like a son to me, and this cabinet is sworn to serve you. You threaten our lives to serve you, but remember what I always taught you? 'The foolish king bribes the greedy to serve in his court, The wise king recruits the loyal.' Because I love you, I will serve you. Whatever they (waves his hand over the table) decide is on them."
One by one the Secretaries stand up and look at Dantes.
"Very well, than!" Said Dantes with a smile. "It is a new dawn for Tersanctus!"
