Not even the capital city, most stable place in Serdio was safe from revolt. Although the Regency had brought prosperity and liberialism to the land, an internal struggle between monarchists(who supported regent Zize and the monarchy) and the republicans(who supported the Doge and the senate) formed. Esto Gaza would become the center of that fight.

It began in the night. A group of monarchist nobility and rag-tag republicans met in the streets. Words and taunts were exchanged, and suddenly the monarchists drew guns.

"To death with you, republican scum," was shouted, and shots were fired. Soon, the city exploded into open revolt, between the two groups vieing for power inside Zize's regency.

Under the cover of darkness..

In the midst of the revolution, a lone figure stood out. His hair was a slick black, his eyes a piercing blue. The unknown stranger wore a suit of crimson, and in his hand was a small blade. He had to protect himself in these dangerous times.

"How could this start so suddenly? Oh geez, I need to do something. I have a family to protect. I really don't have time to be messing with this revolt. I'm wondering why it broke out tonight, of all nights? It's been peaceful these last months..I'll never understand."

The man slipped away into an alley.

Drake came into the town slowly. It was a mess, the revolution still brewing. It..was a horrible scene. What would cause such a mess? He had to act fast, Quickly Drake cast a spell to make his voice louder than anything. He would have to stop the people.

"I need a podium..well anything up high..aha!" Drake thought, staring up at a large oaken manor of some aristocrat. It would do. Slowly, he began to climb. Climb, climb, and climb. Panting, he made it up to roof.

"My people!" Drake called out in a booming voice. Terror stopped as they all turned to see their king, Drake Rlugia.

"He's back!"
"Bloody amazing!"
"It's Drake! Yay!"
"What..? We aren't rebelling anymore..?"

"Stop this meaningless blood-shed! I have returned. My journey and exploration is over. As your shepard I shall guide you all back to the rightous path." Drake replied. He expected cheers..but there were none. Only shouts.

"We are people! We have thoughts! Absolutism must die!"
"Create a new trend! Set a new standard! Allow democratic ideals to florish!"
"Galastar is slipping back to absolutism. Only we can keep democracy alive!"
"We are able to govern ourselves..isn't this what you and your forefathers have strived for? The education of all, so that they may one day govern themselves?"

Drake understood. The people wanted a democratic government, with free elections and every thing. Yet they still respected Drake as their king and leader. It had to be done. The feudal parlements and ancient Hyuan communes needed to be rebuilt, to allow everyone a vote! Yet Drake would remain king - a king without powers, but a still a king and leader.

"My people! I give up my only right - to be ordained by the gods to rule. I will give up my right to absolute power - hence forth, I am king of the Serdians, ordained by the people! With my sword.." Drake stopped talking and took his blade from his hilt.

He grinned, pulling off his regal robes. The jade green robes, a symbol of the royal family..and absolutism. It ended here. Drake tossed his robe upward and slashed it as much as possible. Pieces of green fell.

"..I destory the tree of absolutism in Serdio, and sow the seeds of democracy! Let us march forth!"

Cheers erupted. The revolution was over, and so was the absolute monarchy of Serdio.
