Deep into that darkness peering,
Long I stood there,
wondering . . .
fearing . . .
doubting . . .
"O, oblivious, naive Humanity . . . How ignorant we truly are -- safe only in our blind view of the world. We are merely caretakers, for when the Ancients return, we shall be swept aside like driftwood on the tide of destruction . . ."
Long before humanity graced the Universe with it's ideas, the Earth belonged to another species.
An ancient species - unbound by physics or nature, purpose or ethic. Through the shifting of time,
the relentless advance of ice and continental plate, this species was driven into the recesses of
the world - to lie dormant, until such time as the conditions were right for their return.
The innocent human race, safe in its blind superiority is oblivious to the danger it walks amongst.
The Ancients want to reclaim the Earth as their own, and have taken great pains to ensure their reign
in the dawn of the new millennium.
Secret Societies, hungry for power and domination, mad with their obsession, seek to restore the
Ancients to their former mastery. Over the aeons the sects have been active, scheming and plotting in
the darkness, worshipping entities and attempting to summon them, through arcane magicks, blood and
sacrifice.
Of these groups, few stories are told. Those who know too much perish swiftly, hunted and murdered to
preserve the secrets.
Beyond mankind's limited comprehension.
An incomprehensible war, hidden by secrets and plagued by death.
Innocents, who will be tainted. Hunted, murdered, martyred...
A secret war is being waged on the periphery of Humanity's perceptions -- a war wreathed in shadows
and deception.
The Darkness Comes . . .
You too, will come to understand fear as I have . . .
