Leader for the Shivans 3: Journey from Dunwitch
Hill.
By James Moores
Prologue
Downfall of Good.
Ki’onus was lying on a soft cot, his fever had
grown, he was near death. But his dream was close to being realised. His
people had finally vowed to protect this universe. They would not make
the same mistake they did with the Vasudan race.
The final Ancient’s Ship was being hunted by
their destroyers. They would not survive the night. They were heading for
the bright blue planet, the third planet in an ancient solar system. A
system with nine planets, and a single sun.
Fire exploded inside of Ki’onus, a feeling filled
him, something he had felt once before. He reached out a single hand to
a Shivan who stood watch over the mighty leader. “What is it lord?” He
asked. Ki’onus tried to speak, his voice was caught in a rasp.
“When...” he struggled. “When we return,” he
coughed, “so will the Leader for the Shivans.” The Shivan frowned.
“What do you mean?” He asked. Ki’onus struggled.
“Don’t...” The Shivan cringed. “... Don’t become
the Darkness.” And Ki’onus died. So on that fateful day, the last of the
good in the Shivans, died.
It has been thirty-two years since the Shivans
last attacked the human race. Thirty-two years since Samuel Morrison and
Tak’eye Vo’tion fought Cron’is and Triton Dynamics. It has been thirty-one
years since the two heroes disappeared into a swirling green mass, never
to be seen again. And so humanity forgot about its two lost heroes. Their
names hidden in the mists of time, forgotten.
David has stayed on the GTI Dunwitch hill
for all these years. Stonefox and the Black Sparrows were killed fighting
the NTF. Their names have been lost as well. Susan was hunted by the GTI,
she disappeared on a small unknown planet, her daughter, that she had with
Samuel Morrison, achieved great things, but never knew her father.
And so life went on. Eighteen months of fighting
the Neo-Terran Front, and then the Shivans returned. Their power was greater,
and more powerful then ever before. The GTVA decided to cut off the Capella
system, to stop them there. They swarmed the sun, and destroyed it. The
shock wave ripped through the Capella system, destroying every planet,
every ship, and every life. What Ki’onus had feared, had become reality.
And the Shivans thought they had won, but in
fact the war was just starting. Because when the Darkness returns so does
prophecy...........
And on a small station in a system, close to Capella,
but far away from GTVA, in a system whose name has been lost in the sands
of all mighty time, will bring the birth of a new legend, a lifetime away,
this time we’re bringing the battle to them.
