It looked like things were finally beginning to calm down
After all those monsters seemed to be drawn to your town
For a while, the portal residue will block the sun
You’ve managed to put most of the weak monsters on the run
Log stood near another little mountain of the dead
The number of his victories that day went to his head
He wiped the sweat from his head, well inflated by his pride
And seeing no live monsters anywhere he deeply sighed
“Delilah, are you done there, things are quieting down here
It’s hard to believe this caused the gods themselves such fear
I’m still getting started, though I sure could use some lunch
I think it might be around noon, but that’s still just a hunch”
“I think we can trust your stomach, it’s probably noon
But we shouldn’t waste time, we must go and find Twig soon”
Delilah pulled her sword out of a golem’s rocky core
Looking more than ready for another round of war
She quickly walked over to the place her husband stood
Encouraging him to move as quickly as he could
“Yes, we’ll go and find our son, but first we should head back
We need to determine the extent of the attack”
Delilah frowned but nodded, for she knew his words were true
“You’re talking like a royal knight again, like you used to”
He smiled hugged her for a moment, then they hurried on
Content that from the portals no more monsters seemed to spawn

I just barely kept the gods of war from taking you
If you went berserk, what would your poor old husband do?
Try to keep a clear head when you’re fighting for a cause
Getting lost in endless swarms of foes should give you pause
The villagers convened and they all seemed healthy enough
Few among the elders were retired but still quite tough
Even Michael put his knowledge of the sword to use
Enjoying the rare chance to a let some steam off and cut loose
The eldest of the village, known to many as the Chief
Had also killed enough monsters to cause some disbelief
Many knew that in another time he was the best
But he still had more power than he normally confessed

It’s been at least a century since you picked up a sword
Be careful or a brutal back ache will be your reward
The blessings that you earned bring you near immortality
But all these stats can’t compensate for your old injury
Chief Max rubbed his aching back and called his friends and kin
Who gathered round the elder and all keenly listened in
All the children came running out of their hiding place
Pebble following behind, frustration on his face
Boulder had just joined the crowd and shouted out to Max
“Do you have some idea what’s behind these attacks?”
The hundred or so villagers who’d gathered round were tired
And wanted answers from the hero they had though retired
“I’m as lost as you are on this madness, to be frank

You might say that I’m as clueless as your average tank
But I’ve seen enough portals in my life to say for sure
This is not something that most of the world can endure”
Crystal rolled her eyes and stepped forward to face the chief
“Seeing you in action today was quite a relief
But what should we do if this happens again tomorrow?
Just how much will the gods let those portals overflow?”
The villagers rang out in agreement with what she said
Worried by the god-sent messages which they’d all read
All were veterans who’d seen their share of war and strife
But none were keen to return to such a hard way of life
“Unfortunately, as the eldest of this gathering
It’s clearest to me what our destiny is demanding
To my knowledge, no nation could survive these attacks
And we would not be forgiven for just turning our backs”

The Reaper's Legion
Earth: An advanced inhabitable world in the ideal colonizable range. Moderate temperatures and consistent weather patterns make this planet an incredible resource, along with a wealth of animals and wildlife beyond most worlds. Inhabited by the sentient species designated “Humans,” Earth would likely have joined the galactic community of its own accord. Levels of technology in local populace indicate a sharp trend towards interstellar travel, but still needs to make the last push to acquire reasonable interstellar technologies. Up until quite recently, Earth has not been a fully classified planet and was largely unknown. Due to biotic activity in the quadrant, however, attention has been drawn to Earth and many other possibly habitable planets in the regions, primarily for quarantine and control tactics. Matthew Todd was not a particularly unique human being before the meteors struck the earth. Average athletics, above average intelligence, but somewhat gifted in marksmanship, the post-apocalyptic earth has been a trial by fire for him and many others. Creatures that resemble bastardized wolves roam the land in packs numbering in the thousands. With entire cities decimated, those that remain are left with the harsh reality that they may be witnessing the end of humanity. And yet, there is a chance. Humanity knows they are not alone in the universe - the wolves are case enough for that - but what they do not know is that they are not alone in their plight. They are not without aid. Obelisks descend from the sky, giving the people a means to fight back. With tools ranging from guns to advanced mechanical apparatus and more bizarre tools, the people must cull the Biotics. Or, be consumed by the ever growing and mutating threat. Join Matthew in the fight to exterminate the Biotic threat, and to ensure the survival of human kind!

Precipice
Man believes in his dreams, his hopes, his prayers. But what if those very prayers led to his downfall? Humanity’s thirst for knowledge and greed for power has left it at the pinnacle of science.

The world is not what it once was. Altered forever by ‘The Reckoning’, the survivors of humanity struggle to live on, drifting as nomads or forming small communities, sustained only by their own blood and sweat. This is the world that Esterian is born into. After learning of his father’s death at the hands of one known only as the 'Shadow of Heaven', he vows vengeance. But there are other forces at work as well. The rulers of the land, beings of unimaginable power known only as the ‘Holy Ones’ would twist Esterian’s rage to serve their own perverted motives. So too would the band of rebels called Advaitha, shrouded in mystery, their seemingly noble motive of reclaiming the world for man hiding a much darker agenda.
