Prologue
Prologue:
In the far vast reaches of space, where things implode and explode with gracious beauty yet terror of what is yet to be, there is one general truth. That existence flows in either cycles of what is meant to be or of what can be. Both possibilities can weigh the soul from its own potential. It is at the end of the cycle of cycles which came before where our tale begins, at the ending of stories long forgotten. This is the tale of Ascending Depths. Far beyond in the beautiful spectacle within the galaxy of Exobia Vizar lies a blue world. Its oceans shimmered with allure yet mystery. The island which nestled above its waters grew with lush green vegetation, vast deserts, snowy summits, and caves that seemed to stretch for miles. Looming in its horizon up in the sky of the island was a shimmering city. Its architecture is advanced yet sleek. Forged from glass and metal. Billows of smoke huffed from the factories that were located on the far side of The City of Vo. But with such a grand spectacle that comes from such a glowing world, darkness and corruption lingers. Beings of techno-organic physiology reside upon Lelido. It is their different squabbles that have divided a once utopian way of life. Some hold onto what was, others continue on what can be, and few seek to keep the peace. Yet darkness has been growing for many seasons, though a new beginning has called out throughout this world. A whisper which echoes from ancient ruins and capsules across its face. Stretching out through time and space to those who may hear.
Its voice was as gentle as the wind with the authority of a god “Awaken my children, for millennia you have been lost. Some of you may have grown to accept our absence, while others...still have faith in our return. We shall come, may your Core shine bright”.
