Universe

You head over to the Cathala Gardens, which stands in a large clearing of trees in the southern part of the city. You pass by many gorgeous displays of plants and many sculptures which amaze you with their changing colors. You assume it's the sunlight shining on these sculptures that make them appear to change color but it still seems pretty impressive. This further proves what people say about Weyah being a pretty wealthy planet.

You pass by many Weyans, all of them living completely natural as you would assume any rational species to do. Nothing to make you feel as if anything out of the ordinary could be going on, especially not any radical religious movement. You come to stand in front of a large fountain, where ahead of you overlooks a vast plain and some large hills in the distance.

You feel a brushing behind you and look quickly to see a small Weyan scampering past you. He seems to be in a hurry and your intuition tells you to follow him and see where he goes. He cuts through a few paths of the garden with suspiciously jerky movements and all of a sudden he is nowhere to be seen at all. You are left standing with some large hedges on your left and some bushels of purple flowers on your right. You search around the hedges for a bit until you see that between a couple of the large hedges there is a small barely visible pathway. Squeezing between the hedges you follow this path down a set of stairs until you hear a couple voices and immediately crouch down.

A door opens on a square gray building below, conveniently tucked into some hedges, and you see two large men dragging out the small Weyan you saw earlier. They throw him onto the cobblestone where he wimpers, already a bloody mess.

"Please," he pleads. "Just give me another chance! I couldn't kill the Minister today, he was meeting with a Ranger! I think he's n-nearby here!"

"Shut up!" one of the large men says sternly. "Do you really want to draw peoples' attention. The point is, you failed Meen, and Irkin is not happy with you."

"Just give me another chance," the small man named Meen cries. "I know I can do better. I don't want to die..."

"It's too late for that. You were already killed yourself the moment you decided not to murder the minister today."

The large man then pulls out a large gun, it looks similar to a shotgun, and shoots out a silent shot of purple light straight at the poor Meen's head. He's about to scream but is rendered silent and falls to the ground in a limp form.

From your crouching position, your right foot accidentally slips off the step and falls down one. The heads of the large Weyans perk up immediately and the one with the large gun raises it towards your position.

"Who's there? Reveal yourself now!"
