"Why, you didn't think I'd just disappeared, did you? Just got up and left? You may have heard some stories about me. The nemesis of the Dark Omega, the mortal who fought toe-to-toe with deities, the one who pushed past his own limits and obtained a taster of the power of the Gods, the winner of the Tournament of Strength. I've gone by many names over the years, and I'll go by many more before the end: the Beast, Destroyer, Vanguard. Many of you will never know the full story, and yet still feel a sense of immersion. It's funny really.
19 years. That's how long it's been since I last saw my family properly. I left behind a fiancé, a daughter, and my friends. The choice was never mine to do what I did. I believed I was giving my life to ensure the safety and security of all of them, when it turns out, the danger was only just beginning. People are beginning to uncover facts and truth about the Kaimen race, and that could place more danger upon them than even the tournament could. Humans never react well to change, and many of them see something unnatural and try to drive it out. Not to mention General Roarke, the 'master Kaimen hunter' as he refers to himself. We shall see about that. They have some sort of project in progress, something called 'Project Athena'. I'm unaware of the plans that are going into this project, however, from the name, I can gather enough evidence to suggest what it may be. Did you pay attention to your mythology? The sister of Ares, who happened to play a part in his death. They assume the strongest Kaimen to exist is dead, and then name a project under that name? Think about it..
You've listened to enough rambling, and nonsensical dribble. Let me introduce myself. I'm the one they tell you to fear, the one who walks in the darkness, out of sight, but never out of mind. I'm the one who fought against the Great Annihilator Corvus. I am the Kaimen who began to step into the divine realm of the Gods. My name is Ares, and I am going to explain to you how this war really began.
See you soon.
Ares"
