Thirty years from now, humans finally turn their attention into space. At the dawn of a new century, 2100 A.D, Earth's atmosphere is near inhabitable. Orbital colonies are created. It is too late now to emphasize natural energy. With the exhaustion of their natural resources, deep space mining companies started to wander off further away from the system. This became a form of example. Even with the speed of light, interstellar travel is too slow. Not until the perfection of Suspended Animation solved the issue. After the war with the Dominion. The first colonists were sent into the system of Sarys. Approximately three hundred years away. After thirty years, it was deemed successful. Powerful syndicates and the world government started their own projects; The Exodus. Not wanting to be left behind. People volunteered to the progress. At year 2228, the last Hive Ship left an Orbital Colony, carrying the last human presence in the Solar System, giving Earth a chance of rejuvenation. The introduction of Blink, a signal that can reach any Vults(Receiver) without any millisecond pass, gave humans the ability to communicate with other fleets no matter the distance. It was a leap in human technology that will deem other alien races inferior.

LXIX: To the Walls

It was another day for the town of Tarra. The people resumed their normal daily lives even with the threat of the Lizardmen in the north. However, this day was meant for their peaceful lives to take a sudden turn.

"Open the gates!"

"Open the gates!"

Two riders shouted, urging their weary horses to run faster as if their lives depended on it.

The pair of guards stationed outside the main gate, readied their spears to intercept the riders but when they saw the flag depicting a tornado fluttering on the back of the two riders, they immediately signaled the guards inside to open the gates.

"Inside! Inside!" One of the riders ordered the guards as they passed them, "Shut the gates behind you!"

The guards followed inside, not daring to delay. The sudden appearance of two scouts from the King's Army also brought forth a bad omen.

One of the riders stopped while the other pressed further inside the town.
