HISTORY
"The only gift I'll accept is my name."
The man called Jonah came to be within a remote corner of the Galaxy. Dubbed the Shiraya Expanse, his home was all but a cage made of golden bars. On paper, Jonah lived in luxury. His hometown as a jewel within a desert, affording everyone he knew a prosperous existence. What's more, his father and mother ruled over the entire Expanse. To say that Jonah had it good would have been the understatement of the century. And yet, he was far from satisfied.
For what satisfaction was there in growing fat on the edge of creation?
Jonah had grown up hearing the stories. They all had. The history of their people was a long, winding road paved with triumph and tragedy. At one point, under the leadership of his father, the Southern Systems formed a Confederacy that challenged the stars. At another point, that great union was rent apart by a threat from beyond. Those who survived made a new life here in the Expanse, far away from the Galaxy's chaos and struggles.
For most, a life of comfort away from suffering was a paradise. Yet Jonah yearned for more. He craved to see the stars. Hungered to pen his own story that the next generation would recite as gospel. Jonah wanted to ascend. So it was that he cast aside the gilded princehood that had been his life. He took not a single coin from the coffers. He called not a favor from those who flew his family banner.
On that day, Jonah accepted only the gift of his name.
All else, he would take.
