“The year was 19,588,953,5109. This was the official age of a little gas giant called Saturn. It is small in comparison to many larger Gas giants out there in the Universe. At the tender age of 4.5 billion, Saturn became an orphan. Its sun suffered a quick, premature death. Without its sun, the Solar System as you know it became a roaming system of astral bodies, making their way through the Milky Way, without a Star Parent to guide it.

Chalon takes day during the course of one day.  The problem was that the book jumped from character to character. Mine focuses only on Chalon.

Time 19:37 Before the carriage arrived, the gypsies were going about their business in camp. Some were rehearsing their little plays, while others were setting up the portable wooden stage. It was common for their performances to be done in the exterior of the city. This did not stop the locals from visiting. They knew by now what to expect. In the morning, the children had littered the city with posters promoting the performance. By now, a crowd of locals was roaming the gypsy camp. There were also a couple of local guards there to maintain order. The jovial peace...
