,,You. It was all about you. You are the key to everything.''
Planet Earth in the year 1301. Not a single sign of human life can be sensored across the wide, green lands of Kingsom Artosia. Only the remainings of bodies that roamed this planet long time ago. Since hundreds of years the survivors live in the Sky - A big Island floating above the ground is their new home -.
No one knows how they ended up here and how this Island was created, the so called ,,First Generation'' - the first habitants of the Island - are now dead for a long time and left no information for the future generations, if they even had any.
The only certainty is that the World was attacked by mysterious creatures called ,,Deadeyes'' a long time ago. They hunted humans across the Kingdom and ate them. Many people lost their lives and the King started a war which led to riots within the people who didn't want to lose more than they already did. They seeked protection but got used as bait and soldiers by the King.
During that time a religious Cult called ,,Rivoluzione'' gained influence and preached that God would save them soon. Humanity managed to somewhat revover and rebuild their lives in the Sky. Kingdom Artosia remained under the leadership of the new King Aldrich. He is a big ally of the Rivoluzione which leads to the Cult's influence rising.
The King built a military unit with the goal to defeat the Deadeyes and return back to their true home.
,,Aurelio, get down! It's way too dangerous to sit on the Walls! What if the guards catch You?!''
,,Calm down, Damiano, I know what i'm doing. I just want to see the clouds floating by.''
,,Anyways, your Mom told me to tell you to come home, dinner is ready.''
,,Thank you, see ya tomorrow.''
As Aurelio heads home he notices a guard on top of a horse roaming around.
,,Pretty uncommon for them to visit this district'' is he thinking.
After a few seconds he realizes and a cold shiver runs down his spine.
,,Unless its for the-''
Bells start to ring and Aurelio runs home as fast as he can and the guard seems to follow him. After a few turns left amd right he arrives home.
,,Mom! Where is Father?'' he screams with a terrified voice.
,,Calm down, sweetheart. They didn't come for us. Go wash yourself and join us at the table.''
,,Stay back from the gate!!'' screams the guard as more guards follow him. They are escorting two residents to a place near the western Wall. A few people are already waiting. Many of them have their faces marked with black paint, the symbol of the Rivoluzione. The two kneel down in front of the Wall as a tall, blonde man approaches the scene. He wears a black robe and white gloves.
,,My people, thank you for coming today. We meet once again to show God our regrets for our sins, the sins we commited that led us to being punished by the devil himself taking over our beloved Kingdom. Today we beg for forgiveness by offering two of our own, our brothers and sisters. God will see our regret and our suffer!'' speaks the blonde man while being cheered.
He waves and bows down to the audience and them leaves as fast as a ghost. A guard pulls a lever which opens up a part of the Wall. A strong Wind gets inside right before the two people kneeling infront of the open gate get pushed off.
,,Gruesome'' whispers an old man watching from a distance as the people cheer the offering being successful.
