Destruction leads to calculated revenge. The Ven ruled the sector for centuries. It ended at the hands of adversaries they created. After the destruction of her planet, Greshna knew she'd restore the empire. Subjugating Xarrok required a focused, long reaching plan. It started with DNA and grew into something she programed for the destruction and rule of a people at least as powerful as the Ven. The only obstacle to success was time. She needed time for things to fall together. Could she overcome this too? This Science Fiction Short Story takes place after the events of The Fall in the Xarrok Series.
