Recovery

A Presence In The Dark (Prologue)

Stationed on a planet that was left to be empty, a lone and destroyed castle had been lit with purple lighting. The corridors and rooms were cleared to make just enough space for the new yet familiar occupants, who planned to make the place more than what its history prefaced.

Hits, grunts, and shouts echoed throughout the room. Soldiers littered the training area, and traded blows while searching for any opening to take their opponent down. All simply following the training they were given to play a part in the future they were working for.

Above them all, on a separate landing, stood a woman clad in red armor, unimpressed by the show before her. As she scanned the room, she saw nothing but mistakes, something she knew she had little time to remedy even if she trained them herself, and she did.

As she studied, she heard footsteps coming towards her. Not acknowledging them, she continued to scrutinize her troops. A much shorter man, who was visibly squid like, missing an eye, and looked like he came from a smithery, stopped next to her.

"Is everything ready?" he asked, "I've received confirmation that their time is near"

She rolled her eyes at his dramatics and twisted to face him.

"I would have liked more time to beat the lessons into their skulls, but they are ready for our mission. Are the transports set?"

"Of course, we need all of them in order to put on a good show," He let out a low chuckle, "I, for one, think this will be a wonderful watch, no matter how it ends"

Once again done with his drama, she continued to watch over her soldiers, "The plan has been in motion for many moons, we already know what this first step will lead to"

"yes, yes we do,"

Now knowing everything was complete, he walked back down the corridor, leaving her to strategize and allowing him to make sure that the future he planned for would become a fearsome reality. Along with perfecting what would lock in their places in the universe, no matter who or what tried and stop them.
