Cold.... So very cold... This story is told during the Golden Age I'm lio vital and this is my story .this is how the awoken came to be.We were humans on the planet Sundane it was a beautiful planet so much life to it .We were a peaceful people we didn't bother much and we were happy with what we had. One day a ship arrived an enormous ship we awed in its amazement. When we got to see who it was it wasn't who we expected it to be. These creatures were alien and they looked at us with a sense of curiosity and at the same time horror. We tried to communicate and things seemed to work we found out they're called "The Fallen" we saw how they're society worked and what they came to the planet for. They told us they were looking for a new home becuase their home was inhabitable . We told them we could share the planner help Eachother evolve . Things were great for a while until people started disappearing. We didn't know why they went missing but we tried finding them we asked the "Fallen" to help us and it appeared they tried.. But we were wrong they started changing the fallen they became more reclusive more darker which scared us a little bit but we didn't pay to much mind to it . One day my son ashtik was playing in the field . It seemed like a good day as any other until I heard my son scream . I grabbed my gun and rallied others and chased the sound of my sons voice until I couldn't hear him any more I kept moving forward even after all the others went back. When I lost hope and was ready to go home and mourne my lost i discovered something. Something that will change all of humanity forever . They're was a cave I found I went inside to find shelter for the night . It was calm and quite until I heard familiar noises I thought it was just me out here so far from anyone but yet I heard noises of what sounded like "The fallen" I went deeper in the cave afraid of what I might find but curious of what it was . I saw hundreds of fallen in this huge cavern they looked like they were performing rituals . Dark evil rituals . Long ago our pariah "The traveler" spoke of a terrible evil that was his biggest enemy and that many followed it . Many were skeptical it still existed after so long but if this wasn't work of the darkness I didn't know what was. They were sacrificing humans I saw bodies soo many bodies ... I ran and I didn't stop until I made it back to our settlement.. But what I found when I got there shocked me . Our entire presence on the planet has been over run by "The Fallen". I did the best I could to free other captives but soon i to was a prisoner. They experimented on us they tried to change us. Make us more like them . We come to realize when they die what looks like Their "Souls" exit they're body and they tried to make us like that.. So many died before they ended up with the results they had. They told us we were now to be called the "Awoken" that they have liberated us from "The traveler" and that we now worship the darkness. Out of millions on the planet only a couple thousand survived . We were losing hope after so much time has passed . They augmented us changed us they way we did things and the way we looked would never be the same ... When all hope was lost our pariah came to liberate us we did all we could and manage to escape on a ship back to earth . Back to the other humans everything was going well until the "darkness " showed up . Our traveler so mighty he was became over whelmed and was forced to leave us and go back to earth but us we weren't so fortunate . When the ship we stole managed to lift off they shot at us they and damaged it severely . We barley escaped and we luckily got back to earth but not without loss ... I thought of my son and how I couldn't find him and such anger rose but no matter what I couldn't find a way to vent it ... We arrived to earth only to find out the darkness was overwhelming humans across the solar system . And our pariah they one that saved us who risked so much to save us was badly damaged hovering over earth . This is when it all turned south.. Planet after plane was devoured by a shroud of darkness that forced the human race back to earth . Like animals we scavenged for all we had and made a city under our beloved traveler. Many years after I became a guardian of the city my life's goal was to protect that city to never let it fall like my planet did or like my son.. My name is lio vital and that is my story.. And protecting the city is my Destiny.
