I use to think life was hard, struggling to pay the bills, keeping food on the table, punching the time-clock day-in day-out. I remember thinking that I was stuck in a rut with no way out. Then the day came that the world ended.

They descended on us with a wrath we had never known, the Bane and all their legions. A society that stood for thousands of years gone, wiped from the planet in a mere 5 days. Less time then the Bible said God took to make it. But we are not all gone yet. I was one of the few that were hurried to a gateway hidden on our planet long ago. Now on alien worlds, half a galaxy away from home, I fight with my fellow survivors so that one day we may return. It may not happen in my life time but it will happen, either that or there really is no point in fighting.

I use to think life was hard. I was wrong. Even now as nightmarish beasts prepare to destroy the few of us remaining, I see the simplcity of it all. Life is not complicated, you simply do or die.
