A/N: Thank you for the wonderful reviews! Now that I know people are actually reading my story, I'll type more. I hope you all like this new chapter. Sorry it's so short, but it's all for the suspense . Enjoy.
The Lord Marshall stood before a massive table with a black liquid that moved as if it were alive. His five commanders stood at attention on the other side of the table along with the Purifier. The Lord Marshall had just closed the campaign against the planet Lunar 5 and prepared to take the next planet in the system. He sensed the Lady Purifier entering the room from the look on the male Purifier's face.
"You summoned me, my lord?" the Lady Purifier asked.
The Lord Marshall gave a slight nod. "Tell me, what of this new star system called Helion?"
Aeon looked deep into the black map of the star system. Using her psychic powers she could 'see' the black planets for what they really were. The system did not have a strong enough sun, so they created their own light. A large pillar on the first and largest planet, Helion Prime, held a ball of light as strong as two suns. She chose the planet on the map. It was truly a planet of light. The people were builders. They erected massive spiraling towers and gorgeous buildings with fountains and greenery in their courtyards. Children ran and played together outside of their houses until their parents called them in for dinner. It made Aeon want to cry knowing that these people would not have long to live. But something untainted by fear crossed her path when she sensed something amiss among the people. Someone who did not belong. Someone who held great strength and power. Aeon shook her head to clear her thoughts. No one can hold that kind of strength these days. She mused.
"They will be converted." She said.
"And what of a resistance?" Lord Vaako asked, always thinking of his precious equipment first.
"No one can resist the power of the Necromongers." She stood up straight, for she couldn't bear to look at the poor fortuned people of Helion Prime. Liam knew her turmoiled thoughts well, for he had the same feelings for five years. She would speak with him later, but now, she needed to be away from all the talk of death and conversion.
"How big are their forces? What means of weaponry do they carry?" Vaako queried again. But the Lord Marshall was finished with the map. "I've heard all I need." He said before turning on his heel. "Prepare your troops for battle."
The commanders and the two purifiers bowed their heads as their leader exited the chamber, his ladies in waiting and guards trailing behind him. Aeon excused herself from the chamber as well. She couldn't stand seeing those people slaughtered like animals. They were human life. They were meant to live as they pleased. But countless times has she seen the Necromonger army sweep away entire solar systems in less than a month's time and leaving nothing but ashes and craters in their wake. There was no hope for mankind.
A/N: There is actually hope, but he won't show up until a few chapters later……review! . poof!
