"Lukas Valder, the young and devastatingly smart prince of the Balkin people. A bright, shining example of the Balkin's royalty, we could not have chosen a better monarch even if we had been given a choice. Always smiling, always doing what was right for our world. His wit made up for our lack of fighting force. Under our prince, we never had to take arms against the other threats on our world.

It was heartbreaking the day he died.

It brought me no comfort to know he lived on in the shell we have created to take his place, Replicka 015. It brought me even less comfort to know he had rekindled inside of 015, our only successful attempt at cloning our late prince. When I realized what had happened, I swiftly told a grim and silenced council.

I can only hope Lukas understands our actions were for his own good. I cannot imagine that cleverness being on the other end of the table...
