I'll never forget. How could I? How could anyone? It all happened so long ago. But I'll never forget that day. That day it all started. That day thirty five hundred years ago.

I go by the name Damien Deville. I was but a child when it happened. We lived in vast town deep at the bottom of a great gorge within a large desert; to the north edge was very barren, to the south, it was dry but with some floral life. This was the place we called home.

That day started similar to any other. Crystal called me from the next room. Breakfast was ready, and as usual I wasn't even dressed, or out of bed.

"Oi D breaky time, you up yet?"

"5 mins, Cryssie"

"Hey D, Crys called you yet?" Teleah called almost jumping through my door

"Too late" Crystal called through the wall, and suddenly there I was in my room, with two human alarms clocks talking through my bedroom wall. Normal day really.

"Teleah, you here?" coming from behind the door.

"How do you know I'll be here?"

"I'm you sister, and if you were just a little older, we'd be worried bout you spending so much time in Damiens' room."

Ten or so minutes later at the breakfast table all was a cheer but it didn't take a genius to notice the atmosphere, but we all knew why. You see myself, Crystal, Teleah, Chaleah, and the sovereign Damien were not like most, we had some telepathic and empathic links, and I sometimes wondered how human were, or if were at all.

Anyway, it was as if we all knew what was happening, I knew this as I stood above the center tower of the palace, maybe 30 minutes after breakfast. We all knew something was wrong; as usual Teleah was trying to keep me cheerful. Then as we looked over the north eastern point of the star shaped base of the palace, the shape of a five point star.

"You two up here?" echoed a voice from the stairs.

"How you know we're here?" Teleah asked her sister

"I'm Chaleah" she replied, adding "plus you two always seem to be somewhere alone"

Teleah blushed and Crystal came running up as the four of us spoke. Both Teleah and my sister with us, both families on a single roof they all lived under. Always seemed to remind me how much we owe the sovereign for adopting me and Crystal after our mothers' death.

I still remember what she told us that day. About our father, were he was. At this time I still didn't know what she meant by "He is with his people" on those words she pointed to the north cliffs, were the legendary forgotten people live, and told us "he is with his people, soon you shall see" those were her last words.

I often found myself up here, thinking about those words, looking over the barracks around the palace, at all five points, while staring out at the many field to the East were the framers, schools and where the townspeople lived, then to the west at the beautiful fields to the east, full of flowers. The sovereign was rumoured to meet the "Lord" of the forgotten beyond those fields at the wreckage on a regular basis, I'm not even sure the Lord exists. I always end up looking towards the location of the legendary forgotten base, directly north of the northern point of the palaces star shaped base.

I always look back and remember how ignorant I really was. That day we found out the truth about the forgotten. It must have been near lunch time, maybe around eleven am.
