War. It is all our world has known for nearly a hundred years. Our parents fought it for the sake of their children and now we continue that fight for the sake of ours. We'd been a peaceful planet, secure in our government and content with one another -- for the most part. We weren't perfect and there were those consumed by greed and the need for power.

You see, some on our planet were born with miraculous gifts. They had the ability to create fire with a simple thought, to soar through the heavens, to return life to barren land and to steal it away with the simplest touch of a finger. These people were special, they were revered, honored and loved. By some they were envied.

Jealousy is a strong, dangerous emotion that can drive even the most practical of people to do horrendous things like betray an entire nation on the dream of rising above and bettering life for themselves. We still aren't sure where the Arimians came from but they came in large ships and with weapons and technologies that far surpassed the strength of the small force of peacekeepers that guarded the capital city of our planet. Their arrival set in motion a wheel that would change all our lives forever.

They came bearing no false promises of peace and there were many, those who had allowed jealousy to twist into bitterness and hate, that joined their ranks as they swept the board clean of opposition. Even with our talents we were unable to protect our homes. We fell to them but we did not, would not, lay down and die. We vowed to keep fighting, to one day take back what was violently torn from our fingers.

What was left of our government hierarchy along with the remaining population that managed to escape before conformation or death was thrust upon them fled the planet in a vessel secretly constructed for such a scenario. We set course for worlds unknown, always wary of pursuit for the Amirians were quite intrigued by the abilities our people possessed, and what we found was a new place to set our roots, a new home to rebuild.

We found Earth.
