Foreword

'''I am known as The Dark One. There are those who curse me and fear me as the incarnation of Death and Anti Life itself. Some try to categorize me as a God or demon. Some do not believe I exist and explain what I am is nothing but the hand of nature. '''

I can not be defined by the feeble minds of mortal beings.

'''I demand neither faith nor worship. '''

'''Yet my journey in this universe begun in the body of a human. '''

'''I once was known as Eric Olafson and if you have followed my tale so far, you might remember that it was one of of my oldest who friends suggested that I tell my story, the story of my human life. To put it down in words so others can read about it.'''

'''Through Eric and through my human existence I experienced the real meaning of sacrifice as my human mother gave her life to save my mortal shell. '''

I have seen soldiers and heroes paying full knowingly the ultimate price so others might live.

'''I have met true faith in the brutish form of a Y'All warrior. '''

The very incarnations of unwavering righteousness and honor in an old Pre Astro Marine;

 Most of all I was and I am blessed with the friendship from a small band of the most remarkable beings.

In the previous part of my story, I have told you how I came to be, of my roots and what occurred in that time between I was born and before I was about to begin my first journeys.

But before I continue with my tale, I wanted to share with you who these beings were.

'''So in this volume before you, I am only the narrator introduce you to my friends. '''

It is to their memory I decided to dedicate this part of my saga..

'''The year is 5017 in Old Terran Time(OTT) or more precisely 2051 in Union Standard Time (UST). The United Stars of the Galaxies now commonly referred to as the Union is a hugely multicultural society consisting of over five thousand members.'''

The Union has spread across the M-0 galaxy, know to Terran Humans as the Milky Way galaxy, parts of the Andromeda galaxy and several satellite galaxies of the local group.

Almost a year has passed since the events that culminated in the attempt of a large corporation to destroy Nilfeheim and thus erase all evidence of their involvement.
