Our story begins many centuries ago, long before the earth was even formed….

Sentinel Prime gazed down at his newly sparked son. The glow from the small optics lit his world like nothing else. But, he also knew the young mech would one day be the next prime, would take his place. In such a case, he knew the young mech would have his own guardian. Every prime had one. Sentinel himself had Lucentium. Speaking of the mech…

"Luc, he's a prime." He called over to the silver and orange mech standing over by the wall. Lucentium came closer to the young mech, gazing into his deep cobalt optics.

"He will be one of the greats." He said simply. "I wish the best of luck to whoever ends up with him. I shall be going to see the Allspark about that right now." Luc moved back away from the two primes and walked into the hallway.

Around the base, he marched, getting ever closer to his intended destination. The Allspark chamber was a heavily guarded area only from the outside. Lucentium easily slipped inside the quite chamber to see another sparkling lying just beneath the great cube. Upon closer inspection, he was shocked to discover the sparkling, the future prime's guardian, was a femme. There had only been one femme guardian before, Rosethorn, guardian to Prima. The theory went that only the most important primes would receive femme guardians, as they were the ultimate to deal with any situation. In addition there was always the risk of romance in mixing genders and Primes are almost always male.

"You will have quite the adventure ahead of you, little one. Now what is your designation?" He spoke quietly into the silence of the room. At his question the Allspark glowed and hummed.

"She shall be called Shadow Blaze, the one of darkness come to light it." The Allspark's genderless voice was final in its decision. Lucentium nodded in assent. Then, carrying the young femme, trekked back down the myriad of hallways to introduce the two sparklings.
