I am Orion, son of Mlaric and Yarah, a native of Ziva, and a man blessed by the high lords themselves.
Long before I was born there was a battle in the divine.
A combat much older than man itself and this bore down to greed and the insatiable quest for power by Vlada.
One of the high lords of the spirits of whispers.t
The tussle began when Vlada wanted to be above all of the other lords as he felt he was the most referenced.
So he gathered terrestrials who shared his views and were ready to bow to his leadership.
Together they became a force ready to stand their ground against all odds with the belief that they would have their way to power in the Avalon.
From humble beginnings, I came forth.
My arrival ushered in a new era of opulence for my family.
As a child, I began to grow in strength, wit, and shrewdness.
My eyes began to open to the gifts I have been blessed with.
I had counsel from an unknown monster called the griffin who became my confidant and friend.
Sent by the Avalon to ensure I had proper counsel for what I am to face ahead.
I became aware of what is required of me and with time I kept on preparing.
Losing my dear father in the process to a messenger of Vlada did not make it any easier.
Vlada wanted to intimidate me to yield to him which I did not.
So much is at stake for the mortal world.
Vlada was defeated in the Avalons and sent into exile by the other Lords.
Alongside his minions and all were doomed to the mortal world never to be let back into the Avalon forever.
Nevertheless, he decided to orchestrate a plan to dominate the mortal world and as well enslave them.
This was achieved gradually.
By turning them into pawns and penetrating the mortal realm whilst also preparing his minions for what is to come.
The end of all life.
Through my dreams and visions.
I could see in the coming times the fate that awaited us all if I failed.
The lord of whispers could do nothing as terrestrial cannot directly get involved in the affairs of men.
According to the law that holds all the realm and Vlada knew this too.
Reasons the divine sent me as a warrior.
Backed fully by the terrestrials and I could not afford to fail.
So I went on the journey to find the sacred book called the Acrimony of legions.
A book I had to first face my fears and master my mind to possess.
It corrupts the souls of unprepared users.
On my journey, I had to conquer several adversaries, but I was not alone.
I had my best counsel to guide me.
The powers of the golden Phoenix eggs.
Also my visions.
I saw men of the past fall due to their insatiable desire for power which became their hubris and their end.
I fought my way against all the odds and Vlada's dark henchmen.
With the help of the tools I had acquired and the power bestowed upon me by the high lords.
I became triumphant.
Restoring balance in the world and destroying everything Vlada had instituted.
He was doomed alongside his minions to the netherworld where he faces perpetual agony and his fate becomes sealed till the end of time.
We all thought it was over but the evil one still had something up his sleeve.
I was honored by the high lords to become the face of the Avalon on mortal earth.
Even though I lost my life in the battle of restoring balance to the realm.
My soul was given immense power and I became an immortal overseer who had the duty of watching over mortals from time to time.
I watched generations go by.
My sister Salsa fulfilled her destiny much to my delight.
She can no longer see me.
But I was always watching over her as she and her children ruled over the mortal world I have conquered.
Peace and tranquility became the order of the day.
Centuries after, we arrived at the era of automation and innovation and men had greatly improved in all areas of arts, science, and government.
I watched the sophisticated and civilized era unfold with various gadgets now.
Everything is made much easier and more advanced in this era.
I began to see another darkness looming.
I could feel the evil eating up slowly into the mortal world gradually riding it of life from within.
My time has passed.
The burden of destiny now lay on another.
A young woman called Laura had no idea what lies ahead for her.
She has no guidance, despite her incredible abilities.
She is successful and accomplished.
Living a life of opulence fully but there was a void that needed to be filled still.
Soon after she started to have glimpses and flashes of dreams and visions of what lay ahead of her and I was given the responsibility of watching over her.
Now that I am immortal and sempiternal.
I cannot directly also get involved in the affairs of the mortal world.
Notwithstanding I can still guide humans through their dreams and visions and speak to them.
Which is how I have been guiding Laura the destined one.
I realized everyone around her is connected in some way and that Vlada now has eyes in the mortal world.
A fanatic follower who intends to summon him into the mortal world.
An overzealous follower who has been doing all that he can to put his plan in motion, gaining influence in the right places for what is to come.
I know there is another war coming and it's up to me to warn the chosen ones.
Monsters, scoundrels, and villains are arising once again.
The fate of the mortal world is once again threatened.
I have been moving through time incessantly for centuries ever since I defeated Vlada and was made the guardian of time by the High lords.
Not until recently did I come across someone else who could sojourn through time like me.
This is not meant to be against the laws of the realm.
I got attacked by him but he did not vanish without a strike from me which dealt a severe blow to him as he zoomed off in swiftly.
I have had several seatings with the High lords and I am aware of what we are up against.
The era of evil working with doom.
The desire for power has ruined men from time immemorial.
I have seen this before.
Alas, the mortals never really learn but we can't abandon them.
I have so many questions and there are so many adversaries rising.
All hands of the Avalon must be on deck so we have agreed.
However, I can not get involved directly with any of the chosen ones.
Some of them are not yet aware of the innate strength given unto them and they need direction.
For now, I must ensure that the claws of gloom and dusk do not get to them first and the vermin of the land of annihilation is kept at bay.
Regardless of what the High lords say I will have to break the order sooner or later.
There is much work to be done and I have to interfere as darkness draws nearer.
Like a predator slowly getting closer to its prey and grinning from ear to ear with its eyes filled with blood.
I conflict with my desires to ensure the chosen ones are safe.
To see to it that I do not go against the law in the process.
On this, I cannot be so sure.
You cannot close your eyes to new horizons.
We are now in an era where there is no limit to the creativity of man.
I have to find evil on time otherwise it will beat me to it.
As a custodian of time and chance.
Ironically, time is not on my side.
Neither is it on the side of the chosen ones.
Urgency is a significant factor and at the speed of light while I whizz through several seasons and see men grow.
Babies becoming giants, and men becoming kings.
The rise and fall of the great, the uprising, and the rise of the underdogs to the whims of power and control.
I have become the piper who dictates the tune of fate while patriots emerge forth restoring order and balance once again to the mortal realm.
And thus the journey of Orion continues.
There is much work ahead to be done and so little time.
Laura is in danger and he must do all he can to protect her from the hands of evil
Evil disguises itself as upright.
The evil which strikes when you least expect it and that evil lurk in the shadows like a devourer.
Ever ready to strike at any instant when it perceives its victims weak.
