Civilization ever marches onward, those within must keep up, or fall to obscurity.
Dale’s worlds have weathered invasions and come out stronger. Now they reach for the stars, to protect themselves and create the greatest civilization ever known.
But the burden of being the Keeper has weighed on Dale, along with the inability to act directly to defend his worlds. The lure of a simpler life is too much to resist, as he creates an avatar and embraces a mortal existence while his allies continue to grow stronger and prepare for the many battles ahead.
All decisions have a cost. The current invader has gotten clever, sending infiltrators ahead of the main event. With Dale’s true powers locked away, everything and everyone he loves is at risk. And someone will pay the ultimate price.
