As the bomb went off on the carraige Tsar Alexander barely made it out alive only to get shot.... Before the police arrived in time the assasin opened fire on young Nicolas who witnessed the event Nicolas lay in shock as he fell over onto the floor and then there was blankness. When Nicolas died his father Tsar Alexander II and his last surviving brother Michael wept bitterly, as George

October 29th 1888
While in the train Alexander had a little too much to drink and had to go to the bathroom, as he left the dining table
The train suddenly shook as it derailed at a high speed caught by surprise Alexander tripped and fell crashing into the toilet before he fell in his head hit some metal so he lost consciousness, the poor tsar died of drowning due not being able to wake up due to the toilet water. The news of the death was shocking, an emperor of Russia died while going to the bathroom, but matters were even worse, as the train rolled down the hill the dining compartment broke off and soon the royal family plummeted to their death, Michaels body fell into a river as he lost everything except his regalia on his finger that was stuck tightly. As his body was floating down the river he was saved... Mickail alexandrovich was a poor Cossack peasants the lowest in society found the boy in the river. Soon he took him in and fed him. Michael woke with a start.... As he stared around in a small room, where my mother and the family I remember they died and he wept bitterly as he realized he was the past Tsarovich.. I too would have died but you saved me who are you. The Cossack replied I am a poor Cossack. Michael shuddered Cossack were not human and evil yet this Cossack looked no different from an ordinary Russian, and these Cossacs must have a heart for they saved me. " My good sir what ails you and why are you peasants angry at the Tsars. The old man smiled.... You see boy the Tsars are absolutists who don't give a damm about the farmers and peasants.... We have been oppressed for long enough boy.... There are already rumors of the creation of a new constitution by the people and they will revolt if the current head of Russia disagrees and Execute him..... Tsar Michael was horrified he didn't want to die... How can the revolt be stopped....... Well boy it all depends on the emperor, you see if he accepts or makes a compromise on the Constitution and hears the people they will be content, I too support the movement I may be a Cossack but I served in Crimea, I served the Tsar in war and know firsthand how I'll equipped and armed the Russian army really is.... michael decided to tell this man the truth and he would be aide for his knowledge of the troops.....
