Tomo and The Lost Artifact (Warning: lots of text ahead!)

Right. I have something I want to talk about.

Let us, for the moment, assume that Tomo Winogradski does exist. Otherwise, he obviously doesn't.

I'm not clear on why he was exiled, frankly. But I do know that it was by choice....his choice. I don't know about how long he's had the idea up his noggin, but my father got angry at him about something and I guess that was the last straw for Tomo or something stupid like that.

I realize I'm not giving specifics...that's because I also don't know the whole story.

But this is what I know so far:
Tomo is one of my father's favourite pawns to play. He might even be his actual favourite. I heard him say a couple of times that Tomo is more of a Czartoryska than a Winogradski (maybe in comparison to Tama?). On one such occasions that my father sent Tomo to run errands for him, he failed and thus my father became angry.

(I'm not sure how much is the truth from here on) My dad sent Tomo to Saturn to meet with the Queen (Queen Hayshi). There, she gives him something (some sort of precious artifact) and Tomo was to immediately return to Venus to hand it to our King. But shit happens and he somehow lost it. He was dawdling too much, I guess....if it were me I'd have done it quicker than you could say quick. But unfortunately, this task was handed to an idiot of his caliber.
Tomo returns to Venus and this is where my dad fumes in anger and thus, "The Big Argument" was formed (That's what they called it in the streets). It was really bad timing that Tomo had to say that he wanted out of the whole royal family hoopla, making "The Big Argument" into "The Expulsion" (How it is now popularly called in the streets).
After that, without permission of any sorts from any authority, Tomo fled from Venus to Aphrodite knows where in search of The (now) Lost Artifact. Soon after, Tama followed (also without permission), because.............I don't really know. No one knows or talks about "What Happened to Tama in Tholus" (RANDOM FACT: "What Happened to Tama of Tholus" is a famous phrase in Venus)

From what I heard, The Lost Artifact was last cited with a Diamond, but it is now lost once more. I asked Tama about it and he said it's true that it's not with the said Diamond anymore. I don't know what the artifact looks like, or what it does....but it is apparently very wanted. And still lost.

There are a lot of opposing views about this artifact. Our family claims that the artifact rightly belongs to Venus, but a certain family claims that it belongs to their blood since it was given to them by a certain someone, which was the original owner of the artifact.

In fact, there's this famous conspiracy theory that the Artifact was originally with a Martian Family, and the Valentine family (of Saturn) used the Martian-Saturnian union as an excuse to steal the artifact (which was why it was with Queen Hayshi), so they could give it to Venus (Apparently Venus and Saturn has a secret alliance). Besides that, there is an unpopular "The Vanished Gem" story in Mars and it could be that The Vanished Gem and The Lost Artifact are the one and the same...... Or they could be different stories. Besides, Mars' "Vanished Gem" hasn't been seen for a very very long time already, and Venus' "Lost Artifact" went missing only 5 years ago. And I don't even know if the Artifact in question is a Gem. And you can't even take Mars' "The Vanished Gem" on a literal level, because it could very well be a surname.

But this is kind of an old conspiracy story made by paranoid people. The Valentine family denied all accusations a long time ago and no concrete proof was found. The Gold family, as well as most of the nobles in Mars, also found the story ridiculous. As for Venus, and as the princess representative of Venus, I'll be the one to say that there is no such secret alliance between Venus and Saturn. Also, The Lost Artifact is still, well, LOST.....so the Venusian Royal Family generally found it ridiculous to dive into stupid stories instead of just focusing on looking for the artifact.


But I still don't know the whole story, and I realize this is not anymore about Tomo and why the family treats him like he doesn't exist. (It's mostly because of shame and annoyance and envy and betrayal with my other relatives (But I'm just frankly annoyed).

  6. @AlvinTheRapist - you may be on to something there. It actually "vanished" around the time their Queen died.

  7. nobody knows about the actual reason for Tomo's exile, nobody knows what happened to Tama of Tholus... WHat's up with these mysterious twins?

    and oh! Tama wasn't making stories up! He mentioned this to me when we were travelling together during my agoge years. It was a little different, though.

  10. the "Vanished Gem"? Never heard of it before. And if it were the Queen, it should be more famous.

    @Saki - you don't have a say about the conspiracy theories??

  11. I've heard about that story, but I also know little about the details. I found a book in the castle about it, but it was only mentioned. It said that The Gem Vanished approximately a week before the late Queen died. so it's probably not the our late Queen.
