The Gathering: Race For Immortality

Prologue

Immortality, a trait reserved for the gods alone, has existed upon this mortal planet since the beginning of time. This state of being, this weapon, has been sought after for millenia, yet it has eluded even the most committed hunter and led men and women to their untimely deaths. When the hunt for immortality begins it is impossible to stop. Impossible to fight, it brings plague and death upon all who search for it. It is Death.

The greed of men does not shrink in fear at the idea of dying for immortality, when the corrupt grow even more so it. Yet the mortals that run around on foot by car, or plane, all search for this godly trait. For with it comes power, and youth, a never ending portal that will raise even the humans higher then the gods. It is a diamond hidden beneath the crust of the earth away from shadows and light, where no eyes can peer upon it. It is a dangerous weapon that can cut down even the strongest warrior.

Even to this day in our world where the people are content, the hunger for this power grows in the hearts of even the most virtuous king. The greed that dwells within the hearts of all reaches out to this great treasure, a star among the sky. Something unattainable to the humans, or as it seems. With each passing year the creatures that reach out for this fading star inch closer, and over the millenia of Man there has been a great number who have neared it and disappeared. 

Immortality is mans greatest dream but it will also be their greatest downfall.

Different reasons, Different lives, Different ages, The differences between the creatures that search out the Immortality cross paths throughout their own existence. This search is not an easy one, it is not simple. The road twist and turns, it leads you to your fears, it will strip you of your morality, and your sanity. If at the end of this road you can stand tall and look upon this fallen star with strength in your heart and no regrets. Then you may count yourself as one of the gods that tossed such a simple gift down upon the sparkling gem that is this world.

May the Gathering of These simple and small few Commence on the day that the Opposing Kingdoms meet in peace. May the Secrets be kept hidden from the light and shadows, Till the end of time.

The Race for Immortality is on, may the best creature win. Or Gods damn us all.
