In the horizon is a city, Sauraght, which has seen conflict for as long as it's citizens remember yet always recovers. The Helsan War the most brutal of it when the invasion occurred and now this, an internal conflict in which one man has gained too much power, too much influence but not the first time it has ever happened in Donner Land. The 2014 Revolution being an example when one man decided he would try and put in place a Monarchy except he did one thing wrong. He didn't get the favor of the people, which caused a massive split in the country and destruction. Ajehski Veraski then took over and lead the country well until he fell ill and had to resign. In his place, Newron Voy.
Now the country is here.
Embassies lay under siege in Bögt and Sauraght after Nationalism, or even Ultra nationalism took over the populace like a raging inferno. The Azulnish and Ehgtuians became the first targets, they looked different than the Ulianish, they weren't native. Just the right reason to breed racial violence. Then came a Terrorist attack, the Azulnish were blamed and then their rights taken. Then the Ehgtuians. Now everything else foreign, the embassies were attacked, everyone not Ulianish was a target. Even Kaiserine Sigbritt, once loved, now hated, a traitor to her heritage and people. It was a fire no one could contain, that no water could extinguish except for blood. The source of the blaze was one man, Newron Voy.
So many betrayed, so many imprisoned, so many dead.
In a car, former Ambassador Selhg made his way to Sauraght. He had lost his job, he had become a target of his own people he promised to protect and had protected. He was the one who brokered peace with Vanquaria In the Helsan War. He had already lost everything, family, house, job, he was betrayed in a way even he couldn't see coming despite the feelings he felt about Voy. He was too ambitious, right out of the gate he began the Helsan Federation, it didn't seem right. Like he had a plan. And this was the culmination of it all. All Selhg could do was get out, but not without trying to save others.
He looked over the steering wheel, in the horizon the city and the cold southern sea. Surrounding him was a white deep blanket, snow, with bright patches of green and trees. The sky was grey but holes in the cloud layer allowed one to see the blue sky. But he looked ahead, to the city. Already electronic signs on the road spelt out "Foreigners Strongly Discouraged From Entering, Leave immediately." A warning to those entering the city, the same he had seen when leaving Bögt. The skyline got closer as he drove, he looked down and made sure his sidearm was still with him. On the floor of the car was a black pistol and three magazines sitting next to it. A last resort he hoped he wouldn't have to use.
The radio blasted news reports, keeping everyone informed, spouting propaganda since Voy took absolute control over everything. The same scenes played out across the country, Azulnish or Ehgtuians being beaten or arrested or any other foul action, Embassies in Bögt and Sauraght being surrounded and attacked with Donnish dieing, Countries evacuating their citizens. He wanted to help and in the process get out himself.
He entered the city, the windows were tinted to hide his identity thankfully or else he would have gotten pulled out of his car by now. As he stopped at a red light he looked on in horror as he saw two Donnish men chase down what looked like an Azulnish girl, no more than 17 at least. They were running down the street chasing after her but she tripped, she tumbled forward and rolled onto her back scrambling to get up. Selhg could feel the horror just by seeing her eyes. The two men caught up and Selhg could see their mouths moving, yelling in Donnish, but couldn't hear them. The woman was kicked in the stomach before she could get up and quickly one of the men pulled out a Pistol. Selhg couldn't look.
A bright flash of light, a loud bang and no screaming, just cheering.
Classified Location, Donner Land
The Forest, a beautiful place in Donner Land. The light breaks through the tree cover only to find the white snow where shadows don't exist, the light reflects too much off of it. Eight people stand under the trees wearing what seem to be regular civilian clothing but carrying large black duffel bags. One however stands out the most as he is infront of the others as if he was presenting someone or making a speech.
They drop their bags and stretch. They had hiked for a day through the dark sneaking to the Forest, some took out canteens and drank to hydrate themselves. Eventually they all settled and the leader of the group spoke.
"I think you all know why you're here, entire nations gone upside down." He says crossing his arms. "Voy has lost all sanity, the country has become unstable and our own people are being targeted. Some of you are the targets, sooner or later he was going to come after us."
"We're going rogue?" Asks one of them, a male.
"We aren't going Rogue, Voy has gone Rogue, we are the only ones who have their head straight as far as I'm concerned."
"Then what the hell are doing here, Sergzen?" Asks another.
"Consider it a briefing for a Mission"
"Which is?" Asks a female voice this time.
"Our first order of business is get out of this hell. We can try and sneak out during the embassy evacuations in Bögt or Sauraght. Problem is that they'll shoot us if we get within breathing distance of their fences and I doubt they'll trust us. Not only that, but we can't expose ourselves."
"Ide say this is good time to throw away all the rules, Jeerne. The Country is fucked up beyond repair." States a different voice.
"Nothing is beyond repair, Keneveh, the god has our side."
"Not the time for your mumbo jumbo, Teru."
"Enough, we took responsibility for this country, to keep it safe. Voy is threatening it, we have to get rid of him but we can right now. We have to get out. But until I know you're all on board I might as well head out myself. Teru?"
"Gotta stick with the plan."
"Keneveh?"
"Voy better look out."
"Nino?"
"I didn't bring all these explosives for nothing."
"Cer?"
"Let's kill the bastard."
"Xeyn?"
"What Nino said, hehe."
"Untuli?"
"Fighting our own country? Sounds like a challenge."
"Hes?"
"I'll drive a bullet into Voy any day of the week."
"Then it's settled. We head to Bögt at dawn. Set up camp."
