THOSE WHO CHASE THE STARS....

          ONLY TO BE STRANDED BY THEIR QUEST.

 

"There was once a darkness that laid siege and war upon the stars.

 

From the very echoes and eons of space it came...
A destroyer of worlds.
 
But there was hope yet...
 
 
Two would arrive from the stars...
 
   Three would aid in the quest...
 
      Four would stand to fight...
 
         And most - most would flee in fear.
 
 
This is a story of family... Some born upon Earth - others born within the stars. And although this family may not be blood - they are a family nonetheless.
 
This is a story of a moment within each of their lives. A moment where everything ordinary... became extraordinary."
