There comes a time when the last great war is
almost forgotten: a time when people grow and make what they need for the
simple lives they live. It is also a time of oppression; when overlords
are suspicious of the people, for now is the time foretold …in the
end devastation will be faced. Men will weep. Women will perish. Families
will be orphaned. Ruin will reign. Hope will be gone. Death will give forth
life. Out of the sun good will face evil in the un-winnable final battle.
Evil will be ripped apart. Good will be cast into pieces. The prophecy will
come to pass .

it is beyond redemption. Then the wound may not heal. Year may pass upon
year; lifetimes may come and go before the evil is purged from the ground,
or until by fate someone happens onto the scene. A person who unknowingly
can cleanse the ground, or unwillingly be corrupted with it…

For 60,000 years the aboriginals were the masters
of Australia; but two hundred and fifty years ago that changed when Captain
James Cook stepped ashore. Cook wasn't the first to sight the Australian
continent: there had been many others before from both Europe and Asia,
but some say none of these were the first and there is reason to believe
that over a thousand years ago there was the first invasion.

There is a time far, far into the future where
all that has happened before is forgotten. A future where all people know
of is a century's long war that raged even before the systems were colonized.
Some believe that having the knowledge of how it began can bring it to an
