I won't bother with introductions to the origin. They did tell me how they all met, and it was quite an interesting tale unto itself, but for my purposes here I feel that there is no true benefit of, or need for, the telling of the story of how their relationships started….for now. That will be addressed at a later time, if ever, as to ensure that this tale is completed before sidetracking causes me to forget important details about what happened in those days. I witnessed much of it, the pleasures and the pains, the victories and the losses, and the final battle to which the world was the audience…and they told me the rest.
The pains are what the world remembers most….but I know there was more to it than that.
There was companionship, camaraderie, suffering, and awe-inspiring feats of strength in every meaning of the word. There was death, despair, and destruction on a nation-wide scale, felt and feared all over the earth. I have great respect for the dead and those affected, but I cannot allow their stories to be the only ones told.
The two great tricksters, one by necessity, the other by nature…..
The alien god….
The demigod….
The wannabe god….
The physical god….
And the truly massive problem that caused the wreckage spread before us today…
This is their story.
