THE
WAR OF FATE
Part
Two: The Dark Citadel
Prologue
"And during the last hours, Elohem and
Levah made the Great Destroyer. They named him Abbadon and set him in an
egg of solid rock. Abbadon was loosed only every five thousand years to
reshape the universe as Elohem and Levah saw fit.
"However, Levah changed soon
afterwards and let his evil and greed corrupt the free peoples of the galaxies.
Beings great and small were twisted and bent to Levah's will. Many wanted
the power of Abbadon, but Elohem protected the great beast from all of Levah's
followers. Finally, Levah was sent to the Abyss to spend all of eternity,
and Abbadon was kept safe for millennia.
"Time passed and people forgot the
legend of Abbadon. The story of his creation was left only to scholars.
Levah managed to eke out his evil from beyond the Abyss, and it managed to reach
a young scholar named Daneasaur. The scholar researched Abbadon and did as
his master commanded, building a monument called the Dark Citadel. He
gathered others who would follow the rule of Levah and assembled them at the
tower.
"Daneasaur freed Abbadon from his
slumber and became Soddom, 'The Chosen One.' From the Dark Citadel, he
controlled the Great Destroyer and would have destroyed the world had it not
been for the Avatars of Light. The warriors defeated Abbadon and returned
him to his egg. As for Daneasaur, the details of his defeat have been lost
over time. His followers were disbanded and disappeared, and the Dark
Citadel crumbled to dust, never to be seen again...
