"The story begins about a year ago. This city was prosperous and beautiful. We were extremely advanced and powerful. Scientists had accomplished many great feats, but I wanted to be the first to open a rift. I labored for weeks, and finally it happened. It opened like a tear in the universe, and I couldn't see what lied within. But darkness came. The city was attacked by a fearsome army, and most were killed or taken. I was the only one to survive, but I was mortally wounded. Somehow I managed to survive, and was able to build a permanent shelter. I have since lived off of the fruit in the trees and the berries in the bushes, and the water from the underground stream nearby. Until you came, I didn't know what I would do. I still must think on it, but I think my mission is clear." Glael explained.
"But what happened to the darkness?"
"It left our city in ruins, and became a being called the Collective. It built up a vast army. It turned my family and friends into emaciated monsters, and used them to glean our society's deepest secrets. I know now I need to put and end to this. Do you know, Elias, what happened to your fellow Colonists? They were taken and corrupted, like so many before them. You are lucky to escape that same tragic end, but maybe it was meant to happen. Whatever the reason, I think you should help me"
"With what?"
"Taking down the Collective."
