It struck before humanity had the chance to fathom what was going on,and by the time it did, it was far too late. The event that shook humanity to its very core,unleashing horrors that rendered all modern weapons and technology utterly useless. Humans fought a battle that they were destined to lose from the very start. Until THEY started to appear. Blessed by the very apocalypse that was meant to be the end of them, humans drew power from the realms meant to execute them, finally managing to push back the hordes. Over a century later, the war still rages on,but humanity has a better vantage point than their predecessors. The world was perfect. Arthur Prince,on the other hand, wasn't as lucky.
