Chapter 02
The Mexxenger

Upon their arrival, they were granted an audience with Emperor Zelixiz himself. The Emperor praised both Xainter and The Mexxenger for their shrewdness, welcoming Xainter into his ranks. He then turned to The Mexxenger and issued a new command — travel to Xilorox and deliver an ultimatum to King Verrkon: surrender, or face total annihilation. Every last Xilonian would be slaughtered, the planet stripped of every trace of xilonits, and left as nothing but a lifeless ruin.

The Mexxenger set off at once, crossing one light year of open space before finally arriving at Xilorox. He descended near the kingdom and strode into the fortress without hesitation, his mere presence sending waves of shock and dread through every Xilonian soldier and elite guard he passed. General Rayelex, commander of the Xilonian forces, stepped forward to intercept him — but a single word from The Mexxenger was enough to make him stand down.

The Mexxenger walked into King Verrkon's court and spoke without flinching. Emperor Zelixiz demanded the conquest of Xilorox. Every Xilonian was to kneel before the Emperor and lay down their arms — or face brutal extermination. The planet itself would be torn apart, mined down to its very core until not a single shard of xilonits remained.

The court fell silent.

Then King Verrkon laughed.

He rose from his throne, descended the steps with slow, deliberate calm, and came to stand before The Mexxenger. Without a word, the King summoned his mighty sword — and in one swift, decisive strike, cleaved The Mexxenger in two.

When word of The Mexxenger's death reached Emperor Zelixiz, his expression darkened. He rose from his throne and issued a single command to his generals — prepare for war.
