THE EDGE OF THE UNIVERSE
A Series of Unfortunate Tales
REBIRTH
=== PROLOGUE
===
Days had passed since any land had been spotted. The ocean seemed to be a respite from the man- no, the creature that pursued the pirate crew that held me as it's captive. What had driven this once-feared crew to a such a state of terror was a lone assailant, whom, over the course of months, had destroyed and eliminated nearly three hundred of the gang's number.
"Two hundred, and Seventy-one of us..." Lannister's voice called out to another man on the boat. The man jumped in his seat and turned to eye his compatriot with hatred. "... Sorry Vero... Didn't know you were that jumpy..."
"Don't I have a right to be?!?" Vero screamed. "It's almost midnight, and I can feel his eyes on me, I've felt them since we left Hass'var!!" Vero was losing his mind, it had been apparent since Port Vinnea. That's where we had first met the Beast.
And yes, I'll call him a Beast! There isn't a better word for the man! Brutal, yet kind, Incomprehensible, and yet simple, hardened, yet broken. "Beast" is what the gang, the Holden Marauders, had so eloquently named the man who has so thoroughly destroyed them. But, as usual, I am getting ahead of myself again; I should start from the beginning.
My name is Richard Mortiac, and the story I am about to tell you starts with a game of cards at the Edge of the Universe, and ends with the fate of countless races, peoples, and cultures in the hands of three mortal enemies.
So set the stage of your mind, and prepare yourself for a story
Of rebirth.
