Decoded: Origins

In the year 2104, a great race far from our reach lived ahead of our current technological advancements. That race was the Zodians, from the Planet Zodion. Their great Ruler was known as “The Warped One”. They fought their way to power, they saw the world as “flawed” that “it needed correcting”. They divided the planet into 18 main Factions, and 6 sub-divisions.

Those who were fortunate and wealthy were praised like Kings. Others were treated as no more than filth. One night, the divisions planned to start a rebellion, they brought together their greatest blacksmiths to forge magical weapons, seemingly blessed by Gods. The Gauntlets of Lightning, Rings of Light, Mask of Flame, Cutlass of Shadow, and The Staff of Conception.

Once their Ruler got word of this, they smiled and said, ” They court defiance? Let us play their game. Bring me all of their Blacksmiths, to make chains, so that I may bind them of their will,“, and so they went. “Chains of godly power, and wicked strength, very good,” they said. “Unfortunately, I will no longer need your services. Decapitate them,”

Soon after, the news of the death got to the blacksmith’s families and war ensued. 85 years of rage-driven bloodlust, never before had such primal instincts consumed a world like one such as this. It seemed like there was no end to the death and destruction. Then, The divisions formed a plan.

They ended the war in a way that would chart history, a meteor. They would send a rocket and implant the weapons into the God-Sized stone, to send them far away. They would need all the weapons for this plan to work, including The Warped One’s Chains of Wither. Once they were retrieved the war could finally come to rest. Ethanol, Leader of the Rebellion snuck into The Warped One’s chambers to steal them. He was successful, but the chains drained him of his lifeforce. In honor of his memory, they send the weapons along with a metal that they dubbed “Ethanolium”. The planet soon fell apart after the war, and fell into ruin, Zodion was now an empty wasteland.

One year after the meteor was infused with the weapons, a young man was born in the year 2205. As he grew up the meteor crawled closer to its destination. He was an odd young man, and this young lad’s name was... WAKE UP!
