I begin to understand what I had done in my blind anger.

I feel terrible remorse.

I had destroyed an entire star system.

Not just combatants.

Men, women, children … several entire biospheres complete with population.

Billions of lives, all gone in a flash of anger.

I hurt in my soul.

I wave my hand, the representation of the star systems vanishes.

A loud murmur of awe fills the chamber.

There is major pandemonium in the chambers. I say nothing … I allow them to come to the understanding, they no longer have the right or the ability to wage intergalactic war against each other without retribution.

David is looking at me in total awe … he says nothing for a long time.

I want Nana … I want to be baby … I am truly sick in my soul at what I had just done. I realize it’s not yet time … have more lessons to teach today.

I stand, I have the staff of Imperial Office still in my hand.

I speak softly this time and say, “Peoples of the Known Universe as Explored by Man, I am Emperess.

I have absolute authority second only to Thomas Anton the first who is the Emperor.

I decree on this day that interplanetary war is forbidden to you.

I do not care how you run your prospective worlds, nor your current empires.

If the cry of persecution and death begins on an interplanetary scale and becomes known to me, I will utterly obliterate the aggressor.

If there be those among you who are foolish enough to believe you can attack or kill Thomas or myself … Behold!”

I point my finger at a large open space … a huge blue white flash and a rumble like many thunders … the entire room shakes.

A new sun is born where the Thrnoxian system used to be.

There is silence in the chamber.

The multitudes begin receiving communications from their individual star systems.

A miracle has happened.

A new sun was born where the Thrnoxian system sun used to burn.

Massive pandemonium as this knowledge becomes known to the masses of people in the chamber.

I sit back … I am silent … I watch the impact I have on the Universe.

I grieve for all the lost souls I had destroyed.

I truly had no idea I was capable of this in anyway.

When order finally returns to the chamber I look at David and say, “Imperial Grand Vizier, what is the next grave business that comes before me on this day?” he turns with a sharp precise heel click.

He approaches with the next order of business for the Universe.

I am sick within my soul. I cannot live with the knowledge of what I have done.

I can create suns … I cannot restore lost life … I am ill.

This day is finally over. I am being escorted back to my room.
