The year 6000, and Terra-once known as Earth-is fractured and fading. In the Fourth Corner, Governor Hawking Zero rules alongside the Lizmans, reptalian hybrids preparing for the arrival of their dark master: Venom. His mission is clear-to enslave humanity and bring the galaxy to it's knees. But something is in his way. From the celestial realm of Tydal, a guardian named Isiah is sent across the stars with a single purpose: to find Joe Alfazar and uncover the final piece of the puzzle that could stop Venoms rise. The problem? No one knows what the last piece is-not even Isiah. Joe lives in hiding, burdened by secrets he's kept buried for decades. And in the shadows of his quiet life is his daughter, Alter-caught in a web of prophesy, war, and truths she's never been told. As ancient forces awaken and enemies close in, choices must be made. Will Joe surrender the key to saving Terra? Will Isiah discover the truth in time? And when the final piece is revealed...will it be enough? The galaxy is prepared for war. But some pieces are never meant to be found.

I remember having my first vision at 20. the whole idea used to seem ridiculous to me before but now it was happening and it was clear as day. I was extremely nervous as I looked ahead of me and thank goodness for the distance between us because no one would ever want to look death in the eye. The angel of death is everything that you would imagine it being it's not just the black robe and scary look that is quite similar to the death card on a tarrot card but it's the feeling you get. on a normal day I would laugh at looking at some freak in a black robe with a double edged sword but not this time. not now and definitely not in this moment. I had a creepy, scary feeling in the pit of my stomach that also extended to my heart, it was that feeling like your heart and stomach are in a tight note and you can't do anything about it. it was that eery feeling that you get when you go through a near death experience, where the spirit within you is furiously begging to jump out of your chest and leave out of freight, that feeling where you briefly experience your life flash before your eyes especially when you are about to have an accident or the accident is about to come to you. and in that moment you see your dreams becoming crushed, your goals and you briefly think about all the things that you will never achieve, the life you will never have and the things that you will never get to say to your loved ones, including your kids that you will never meet. I stood frozen in my position as death observed me. I crouched down in the corner of the dark, desolate room or place. My spirit was panicking within me and not just because of death but because I was frozen in time as I awaited the judgement of God. the action of his angel of death. When death glances at you, you cannot move, talk, think or feel because this is his world now and only your soul is left keeping you long enough awaiting your judgement.
