Eternal
Year 63
“And you’re sure this is the only way?” you ask.
“My Emperor if I thought there was another, I wouldn’t even be bothering you with this. I’m going to need these test subjects if I am going to pursue these theories.” Elam remarks.
Elam’s request really isn’t unreasonable and it is for a good cause, its just one part of it isn’t exactly going to be nice for Brenda to hear.
“Alright, I’ll talk to Brenda and I’ll get some of the Eternals that she’s been training. She’s probably not going to be happy about it though.” You say.
“I do not understand my Emperor, does she not see some of them die in training?”
“Surprisingly not as many as you think. It’s not like the old days back when I was an Eternal and only a few us survived the process. These kids today have several natural advantages along with accelerated healing abilities. They’re hard to kill even when they’re shooting each other in vital organs.” You say.
“I didn’t realize this new group was so resilient. That’s good to hear though. I need them to survive this process, at least until they reach the age of puberty when I can see if they can reproduce.”
“Hrm. Well in any case, Brenda’s also gotten a bit too attached to our younger Eternal generations in her years of training. Sort of sees them as her children in a way. It won’t be a problem of course because ultimately she doesn’t have a choice in the matter and she’ll see that this is best for the Empire anyway.”
Just before you leave to break the news to Brenda, Elam asks another question.
“Before you leave my Emperor. What about the other test subject?”
“Oh, right. The magic source you need. Well despite Galen’s whining, he’s been a valuable asset to the Empire many times. This time shall be no different. So if you need him incapacitated, I’ll see to that business as well.”
“I thank you my Emperor.”
“Don’t thank me, just get me positive results.” You remark before leaving.
