"No! Mother what has happened, why are you like this, what have the humans done to you, and were the others!?"
_ 'Now I know you are confused and have little knowledge of the things that are becoming of our world. We join the main character after he has just awoken from a deep and long sleep let's get back shall we.'_
"Mother.....Mother.... why.....when...." a man is on his knees griping soil tightly in his hands. In a nearby embankment another group of men, twenty in number, hear the cry. One of them gets up, "Men stay ready the enemy may be playing a card. Hold yourselves." The man speaking unstraps a cutlass from his right side and an old S&W 45 from his right. He starts his way up the embankment and nearing the top get down on his hands and knees then on his stomach.
When he finally reaches the top of the embankment the man who stood up places his cutlass long ways across the top and raises his head ever so slightly, pulling his 45 up next to his cheek. Skimming from left to right all he sees is a man in tattered cloths and no shoes. The man that stood razes himself to his feet and slowly approaches the man on the ground. Resting his 45 across his cutlass's blade aiming it steadily at the man on the ground the man that stood calls out "You there, from where do you come and who do you serve?" The man on the ground razes his head and meats the eyes of his caller. "What has happened? Why is all dead and desolate? Who are you?" the man that stood drops his weapons and runs to the edge of the embankment yelling "an ancient has awoken, an ancient has awoken." His men drop what they were working at, attending to, and preparing to come and see what the man that stood was talking about.
*The man that stood approached the man on the ground and helped him to his feet. The man that stood held the man on the ground at arm's length and examining him. The man that stood introduced himself as Josiah. The man on the ground did not pay attention and instead continued to examine his surroundings with tears in his eyes. The group of soldiers ran to the man that stood and to the man on the ground. They looked on as the man that stood question, or tried to question, the man on the ground. Josiah said, "what is your name, where did you come from, when did you come from, and what power do you possess". The man on the ground continued to pay Josiah no attention. *
