"In the lands of Easn lay a castle so magnificent that from afar, it seems like a fort of heaven. The grasslands around it are so green that it seemed surreal. The lakes and hills around are so picturesque that it is impossible to not be awed by them.
This is Dalmaska, a dream city and a city of dreams.
You are a citizen of this bizarrely marvelous city, and you are not happy at all.
Why?
At the head of the political hierarchy is a tyrant. This is one tyrant unrivaled in terms of tyranny. He rules over Dalmaska and he rules over you.
You are not happy – at all."
Picking up his face towel, Basil smiled as he wiped his face. This was a sort of ritual he would conduct every morning, reminding himself about his role, and his vision. As he stared at the person in the mirror, he would remind that person about the true goal of the Resistance, and ultimately, his convictions.
"Basil! Breakfast's ready!"
"Aye! I got it," said Basil as he hurriedly put the face towel back on the sink and rushed down to the dining room. His was a relatively large house - with three levels excluding the attic. As the attic serves as a sort of 'storeroom', the extra space was designated rather loosely.
His parents take the entirety of the third level. It had a living room in it, and even an area with so many shelves it seemed like a library. Basil himself had the luxury of having the entire of the second level. Like his parents though, he made a portion of his room beside the stairs into a library of sorts, with a computer sitting facing away from the window.
The first level was where the family would welcome the guests. It had a main living room, the dining room and the kitchen. Although sparsely furnished, it was somehow decorated in such a fashion one may think it was an intentional minimalist theme.
Only it's inhabitants know otherwise.
"Fried eggs, fried eggs... Gotta get them all fried eggs..."
Chuckling as Basil watched his mother hum a tune as she placed the fried eggs on both his own plate and his father's.
"Gonna be fresh and go down there, yes?"
Basil nodded. This was a day when the Resistance would gather to discuss yet another of their plans to oust the tyrant of Dalmaska. It wasn't an easy path, but it was one they had tread upon for years. It was far too late to give up.
"Fresh."
Reiterating this word, which was really a coded 'yes', Basil quickly finished his breakfast.
"And well, see you later."
He glanced over to see his mother smile serenely, and his father, who looked up momentarily to meet his gaze. A determined grin plastered on his face, Basil turned and left, starting yet another day.
