In the early days before the Fall, before the demons had escaped from the eternal abyss and before the War had begun in earnest, the Gods debated long and hard about how to best safe guard humanity.
Seemingly in answer, they called onto the Mala'chyte. A powerful and mystic race, ideally suited to the task at hand, and dispatched them to Earth, to watch over and protect mankind.
Even the most benevolent of the Gods knew that the Mala'chyte were a different order of being than man, holy and celestial. They could walk among the mortal men without alarm and began to live at ease among them.
But after many centuries upon the Earth their divine souls began to weaken. Many took to mortal ways, Power, Lust, Wealth took hold, corrupting the Mala'chyte.
And when the demons came, as the Gods knew they would, humanity stood alone.
The weakened Mala'chyte stood no chance against the fierce blood lust of the Hordes.
They fell beneath the tides of blood, leaving humanity at the mercy of the Demons.
But amongst the perishing Mala'chyte there were those that stood firm, fighting to save the humans they had come to love.
Brave warriors, facing countless battles, unwavering in their loyalty. They held their ground, driving back the demons, sending them back to the valleys deep within the Earth.
After years of War the Mala'chyte were few, their race all but destroyed.
They remained on Earth to live out their days, defending humanity each time the Hordes returned.
And as time pasted, new bloodlines formed, immortals with the souls of Mala'chyte and the hearts and skins of Men. Unique among the masses that grew up around them.
These are now all that are left of the mighty Mala'chyte, half-breeds, unsure of their power, their ancestry lost to myth and legend.
These are the ones that now face the bloodshed bought on by the Horde.
These are the ones that now protect all humanity.
Our story is of only one...
One that is being trained to fight against the powerful Horde,
One that is being trained to defend all she loves,
One that is being trained... by four pizza loving turtles?
Gods help us!
