Death cannot be overcome. It is a pattern, it has a meaning, and it has been forethought for centuries. When Ariah, the Imiagon goddess, became deity, everything changed. She kills innocent people every day—and is spreading her reign to other planets. The souls of every body she destroys travels to the Stronghold of Shattered Souls where they are trapped and tormented.
Anelle Irani. Jasith Volright. Zede Colwitt. Arch Sariel. Johny Macer. Prava Amalado. Those are our names. We are part of the prophecy foreseen by the Elder Shad from the planet Imiagon. We are immortal and are able to overcome death and escape Ariah’s grasp. Our purpose is to defeat Ariah, restore the demolished thrones, and release the tortured souls into Essear where they rightfully belong. There they are put to rest.
If we defeat Ariah, we no longer will be immortal. It is a small sacrifice to pay for bringing justice to Imiagon, but we are willing to give up anything to make Imiagon a better planet.
My name is Zede Colwitt and I am Chosen.
