Prologue
Vehlahn, a world of floating cities powered by a form of technology known as CrysTech. Long ago, this technology was discovered by the Grenschal Organization to make the lives of the citizens easier and to protect them from a world filled with evil creatures and those tainted by the whims that the Organization has labeled to be False Gods. With their rise to power, the people left the world on the ground to live in these floating sanctuaries, protected by the forces of the Grenschal Organization. At the heart of these cities sits large crystals that emitted a light that seemed to pulse the cities to life, giving homes to those who lived there, protected by the Crystals. For many years, the citizens lived blissful and happy lives, far from fear of what lived below on the world's surface. It has now been so long that many do not recall what the surface world was like, but why would they care? They are living happy lives aren't they? But I fear, everything is not as it all appears. In fact, the shadows of what they fear were creeping around the corner, but the truth had been kept silent. It always had.
My only wish, is that our fate had been different. I always questioned if what we were doing was right. But in the end, it was not our choice. Fate had a different plan. Could we call Her that? Fate? I never knew She existed until back then, nor did I know what she meant by that we were to be "blessed by the crystals." This story is not mine alone, but rather ours. Who knew that one event would change us forever? To destroy the lives we once knew and in turn, give us this amazing adventure. To whomever is listening to the record I've left behind, understand that we did not mean to harm the world. However, it seems that we were destined to save it.
Please listen to my story with an open heart and clear mind, for what I'm about to reveal to you is going to be one erratic tale. But be rest assured that this is all truth. No matter what they tell you, or what lies they feed you, this is the unedited truth. We risked everything, even our own futures. That is where our story begins.
