❝ I don't remember much...but I do remember it being beautiful. ❞
Lorien was a paradise.
It was a planet of beauty and life and equilibrium, inhabited by the most wondrous of creatures. One such being the Loric people.
The Loric were peaceful, humanoid beings, living in harmony with the planet and it's few other inhabitants. In return, Lorien gifted some of the Loric with extraordinary abilities. The Loric Garde were those who developed these Legacies, and the Loric Cêpan were those who did not. The Legacies were intended to defend Lorien, but they were not enough to stop the Mogadorians, a race of ruthless beings, when they invaded Lorien for the planet's resources.
Upon Lorien's imminent destruction, nine Garde and their Cêpan protectors were chosen by the Loric Elders to escape to Earth. They would be hunted by the Mogadorians, so the Elders gave each Garde an Inheritance, a pendant, and a number that corresponded to the pendant, then placed a Charm over them. The Charm allowed the Garde to only be killed in order of their given numbers, but would be permanently void if any of them were to come into contact with each other. The only physical evidence of it's presence was a scar on each Garde's left ankle.
So the last remaining Loric escaped to Earth where they lived in secret among the humans. They trained for years, awaiting the day the Mogadorians would arrive and the hunt would begin.
After seven years, One was found and killed in Malaysia. A scar burned onto each Garde's right ankle as indication of her death.
Four years later, a second scar was added to the count when Two was killed in Russia.
Now they hunt Three.
❝ I know I'm next—I know they're coming for me. ❞
Three is the next in line to be killed by the Mogadorians. He's scared, but he's developed his first Legacy and has been practicing his telekinesis for over a year. He's ready and he's not going down without a fight.
❝ They're heartless, merciless beasts. And I'm going to make them pay for what they've done. ❞
The Mogadorians have taken everything from Six—her home, her people, her parents, and now her Cêpan. But they have given her hatred. And her hatred fuels her determination and shapes her into the warrior she is. And now she's going to kill every one of them.
❝ I am unlike my kin. I feel emotion, and I know our actions are terrible and I am sorry. I want to help you. ❞
Adamus Sutekh is the Trueborn son of Mogadorian General Andrakkus Sutekh. He is different from his people as he allows himself to feel emotions. He is a disappointment because he feels sadness and joy and misery and everything in-between. Remorse for the treatment of the Loric, anger for the murder of Two, hope for a better future and perhaps even love for the most unlikely person.
❝ They're coming. And they're going to destroy everything unless we do something about it. ❞
The Mogadorian's fleet is on it's way. They intend to conquer Earth as they did Lorien.
But the Garde will train harder than before—harder than ever. They will prepare for a battle they have little chance of winning and they will fight with everything they have.
Because they cannot lose anything else to the Mogadorians.
They cannot lose Earth.

Everything in this story is fictional.
This story is based off the Lorien Legacies novels by Pittacus Lore, but I do not own Lorien Legacies or Lorien Legacies's characters/plot!
My story is—in short—a rewrite of the series with my own characters and plot thrown in. I've retained most of the information and some pieces of the plot from the novels as background information/history and such. I'm aware my versions of Six, Nine and Adamus are very similar to how they're portrayed in the novels. That's because I loved them and wanted to keep them similar, but they are also different in many ways so they're not exact copies.
Also, if anyone notices any spelling or grammar mistakes throughout my story I would appreciate it so much if you'd mention it in the comments so I can fix it :)
Aaaaaand if anyone would like to make me a prettier cover, I would appreciate it very much!
This story is also available on my Quotev and Wattpad account if you'd like to view it there as well :)
Thanks so much for checking out my story! I hope you all enjoy it!
