The year is 9492. Communication from the planet Earth has been lost for fifty years. The people of Mars and The Moon begin to wonder what has happened to those on their home world. In 9460 a small scout was sent to earth, no one returned and no contact was made. The Moon, now the ruling planet, sends a yearly scout to Earth. No one returns, and no contact is ever made. The residents of Mars, The Moon, and the spaceship, Nightlyre, begin to wonder if those of Earth are lost forever.Satellite scans of earth show no human life forms. It's as if a plague has run across the earth, wiping out civilization. But surely there is someone... In 9492, The Moon has declared Earth a lost planet, and proclaimed themselves ruling planet.Residents of Mars go about their every day life, wondering if there is life on Earth. Surely mankind on the planet have not gone extinct. Or is there a greater cause for everything? Mars is not so ready to give up on Earth as the Moon.As for the residents of Nightlyre, they could care less about the whole ordeal. They have repairs to make too many repairs for their liking. Scientific advance is their main care. They just wished The Moon would stop pressuring them.There is life on Earth. A fearful life. Small alliances have been formed. Men, women, and children group together, keeping their numbers small, living like the ancients. Many live in underground caves, for it is there the creature cannot reach them. Communication between clans is slim. A brave rider attempts to ride their fastest steed to another clan with a note. Few are ever seen again. And communication between clans over large body's of water is non-existent. The creature is always watching...
Choose you home, but choose wisely. To live on Mars as a simple farmer, and only worry of the phoenix’s eating your crops or cattle is the safest way to go.To live on the spaceship Nightlyre as a scientist, or repairman would be the second best, just watch out for the pressure from the Moon.Live on the Moon and declare dominance over any of the weaker, it is Survival of the Strongest after all.Or choose the life of fear, and loss, and live on Earth, but remember, this planet was once yours, it could be yours once more.Come Join Us Looking outward to the blackness of space, sprinkled with the glory of a universe of lights, I saw majesty - but no welcome.
