The Plains of Zelagross. A tundra barren land filled with dirt and dust. The land was filled with jagged rocks and mountainous terrains give little room for small vegetation to grow out from its rocky cracks. There was never a human settlement here…no economical values, this land hold no precious earth resources. This place is a true wasteland.
How that day had completely change the barren surface… the battered shields and broken swords – gunsmoke and the deafening screams of the war cry echoes from every razor sharp mountain ridges. The very face of Zelagross will be covered in blood.
It was a conflict far greater in comparison to the later Utopian War. Strange, how little did we know about the battle which took place at that moment…that time?
“Do you know the reason why, Bunny Two?” Lady Junna tilted her head to the side as she pour out a question to me…
I was thinking…”Um…supposed they ran out of pudding and started to get very nasty and…”
“Never mind…” Lady Junna took a deep breath and started her lecture about the events surrounding the Plains of Zelagross and its relation to the fall of Utopia. I wonder when I will get to hear anything related towards my lost aunt…
The battle at Zelagross is kept secret from public. The Utopian nobles eradicate all evidence of war between the commoners and the Utopian elites to prevent future uprisings in between the lower classes ranks.
Utopia is a trading country. A nation relies heavily on trading goods, skills and services as well as the introduction of various technologies from the outside world. The labor forces of utopia are mainly commoners while the government were managed by the nobles.
At the time of Queen Rasa's reign, most nobles began to take power into their own individual interest. The nobles began to compete amongst each others in term of building their own private armies, economical gains, firearms and technologies. Each noble represents their own country. For example, Lord Mana was a noble from the nation called the Water Kingdom while Lord Flame origin was from the regions of Badlands. I could name a few Lords that served Utopia and becoming a member of its government, but let’s get to the main core first shall we?
I nodded. “Yes…my aunt.”
In short, the commoners were poorly treated in the Utopian Federation during those days. There are a large numbers of abuse cases, poverty, corruption and not being able to voice their thoughts in the Utopian Federation government.
At last, the commoners had a few options in mind; to migrate to other nation - abandoning the place they once called home…to establish a new better nation under a leader or a more radical way; a way that cry out for justice…rebellion.
As time goes by, the Utopian Federation had done little to suppress the voice of unsatisfied commoners. People start moving out of the capital. Lords that are not convinced with the method use by Queen Rasa in managing the Utopian Federation began to break their allegiance…some resign their post…some created factions. The nobles grows stronger; Queen Rasa becomes insecure, burdurned and powerless. She is now no more than a puppet queen on the Utopian Federation throne. The pressure is slowly building up and the Utopians had not much time…
At the final stage of the chaos, curfews, court marshaled, spies, underground movement, resistance, military interventions…all these words was use throughout the land. The commoners are being oppressed by the nobles, yet who could they turn to asking for help?
On that fateful day, a noble tend to the commoners prayers. He is a man that will turn a barren land into a battlefield;
Lord Velther Von Dash.
"The day that snares the Utopian people by the neck is over. A revolution had taken place. Under the banner of freedom and peace, we as noblemen that had long serve the Utopians, the voice and the will of its people now will lend out our strength, our swords and shields; our lances, our firearms and our life for the oppressed and the weak…under the abusive iron fist rule of Queen Rasa!"
"This oppression towards our beloved Utopian people shall be extinguished. Poverty and disease of the mind and soul shall be purge and remedied. The ones being treated as dogs and slaves shall become the kings and the queens.
…and the nobles, those bloodsucking Utopian nobles who grovels at their Queen’s feet shall be punished and dragged to the dark cold dungeon chambers – court marshaled and hanged while our people shall will feast under the true banner of freedom and justice!"
"This is my word; this is my ultimatum! This is the promise that I Lord Lord Velther Von Dash…the noble champion who had been guarding the Utopian pact since the days of the ancient. My fellow noblemen and I will stand for the people and return to them what was rightfully theirs – yours!"
"Rally under my banner my dear Utopians. This time we have had enough; we will break down the status quo barriers that separates us. We nobles and commoners will stand together hand in hand to bring back the glory of our nation and we will bring down these people…these insects that had been draining our life for their own good! Down wilth Queen Rasa and her nobles!
…my dear Queen, prepare for your judgement!"
The Utopian Queen was furious...never before a mere noble had challanged her bloodline so openly. The rebellion must be crushed at all costs...and fast. She summons her nobles to the court and announced to them her own ultimatum...
"...bring back the head of Lord Velther on a plate, otherwise yours will be on it!"
The population began to stir. Factions started to built....people began to divide. The tension is getting more and more unbearable with each passing day...until that fatefull day, the unrest reaches it's boiling point...
...and right there at the Plains Of Zelagross, the Utopians; will settle the score...
...once and for all!
The nobles and their loyal supporters will fight for their status; their importance and position in the Utopian society...
...and the Utopian commoners, with the support of a few nobles who champions the will of the Utopian people - who struggled to cut themselves loose from the claim-to-be a corrupted Utopian goverment from the tyrannical rule of Queen Rasa...
...and no matter which side wins...
...blood will be spilled.
To Be Continued...
