Chapter Ten

Down to Business

October 5th, 5288
Days since Newhaven burned: 172

It's been over a week since Talcord's captains disappeared. Updates from the acting captains, RUE and KAMEN, suggest that they're okay, and this is not for nothing, but there's still no word beyond that.

 

With some traitors having returned, we now have an upper hand, however. We know from an inside standpoint what The Absolute has done to Bonham, and what they've created there. So far, it seems most, if not all of the returnees are trustworthy.

Bonham is now The Absolute's stronghold. Fitting, for it to be that city. A place that has caused so much pain and will continue its legacy.

But the chaos will spread. It is spreading, evident in the last mission to clear Bighorn, now our base of operations for the time being. News of more and more humans being killed, towns and cities being affected is becoming overwhelming. As of now, there is no hope for the human race it seems, and unfortunate elementals are being caught in the crossfire.

This is the Apocalypse, and the horsemen were once our own friends.

No other uprising has been present to stop any of this. It seems that now more than ever, the fate of all of Caelum rests on our shoulders. Whether we like it or not. We live on this shitty, miserable planet too, so someone has to protect it. The Absolute now have become the bigger threat, and they will stop at nothing to get what they want.

We have the people and the resources to start an army. So let's make an army...

The Absolute is cozy in their new places to call their own. It's nice, being able to destroy your enemies in the flick of the wrist. Having an entire city to ourselves. Maybe this is the change that everyone has been waiting for.

But besides that, it's boring being a god. Nothing's hard anymore. So maybe it's time to start planning on taking over the rest of the world. What do we want beside death to humans? It's no doubt that Bonham turned out a little messy, but it was our first time.

People will try to oppose us, so what are we going to do with them? Weaken them beforehand? Kill them? Imprison them? It's all up to you. Like promised, the world is our sandbox.

And so It Begins

Talcord travels far and wide in search of allies to aid them in battle, becoming widely successful in their attempts. Allies from nearly every corner of Urania agree to help bring an end to The Absolute. Meanwhile others get to work, bringing weapons and medical aids to life from Bighorn. It seems maybe there is some hope.

The Absolute, however have had their own time to prepare. They're becoming more and more powerful by the second, creating things that scream they are not here to mess around.

 

It's up to fate now. There's not much else to be said. The only step left now is to fight...
