Creyson Parthy & The Trojan Attack
by Richard Bailey
Valiros is a world contained within a metal sphere. The government claim not to know what is beyond the sphere; that is a lie. The mighty overhead lights begin to fail, and the military move in and seize control. The fate of two worlds depend on a young Valiron with a vivid imagination. His name is Creyson Parthy, and this is his story...My name is Creyson Parthy. I live in Valiros, a picture perfect world contained within a metal sphere. What lay outside the sphere was a great unknown. Valiros has many mysteries, but none as peculiar as the thousands of Trojan Devices scattered throughout the land. We had no idea where they’d come from, what purpose they served… or the danger they posed.I was one cycle and eleven phases old, and I’d managed to live seven hundred and two days of an unremarkable life. I had a tedious job, no family, and I was being forced to bond with a boorish girl named Zeal Lotzer; the alternative was a life of service under the military. On day seven hundred and three, everything changed.It started shortly after my grandfather passed away. The High Darlon Council’s Public Representative, Minister Drake, arrived at my door with an unexpected proposal.

The mighty lights that illuminated our world started failing. Power was being drained from towns and villages, and their residents evacuated. With no reason or explanation, the military were occupying the streets and seizing control. Detained by the military, and pursued by an unknown faction, I was pulled into a world of deception, and discovered a government conspiracy that scaled generations. The Trojan Devices were preparing to attack, and only one person had the power to stop them. To prevent the pending disaster, I needed to uncover the secrets of Valiros, discover what lay beyond the sphere, and expose the truth of the Trojans. Time was running out, and the fate of billions rested with an insignificant Valiron, living an unremarkable life.My name is Creyson Parthy, and this is my story…
