The Altrusian Chronicles

Animorphs



1 It has come to my attention that a history of the race known as the Altrusians has been required to give the people of Earth a greater knowledge of their own protectors.

In this story, you'll read about the beginnings of our vast race, and our own wins and losses, triumphs and utter defeats against the evil forces, evil including that of the vile Yeerks.

And now, let the story begin…

We knew of our place from the very beginning, when the universe only held few planets and the theory of evolution through the "Big Bang" hadn't really occurred.

We knew our goal in life. We were protectors of weaker races. It was our duty to look out for those who couldn't fend for themselves, who would often be prime targets for bloodthirsty thrill-seekers and warrior-oriented adversaries looking for some poor fools to test their own strengths against.

We Altrusians were not always the most dominant force next to the Andalites. But we were always a determined race. The Altrusians as a race were mostly human in body, spirit, and soul. Physical imperfections, mental disabilities and all were not uncommon in our society. We were technically human, if not for a natural ability we possessed: the power to heal through kinetic manipulation.
