Introduction

  Good afternoon. Or is it morning? I suppose when you enter the Desrain you lose your sense of time. You could be in a separate universe and not even understand a word I'm saying I suppose. We are at the end and beginning of everything. Every story told ends up somewhere in this abyss. The void saved for only those truly remarkable. It is quite the punishment. A punishment truly fit for someone who tipped the balance.

Every choice comes with consequence. This is a principle you surely must understand. If you eat healthy, the chances of sickness are reduced. Commit a crime and you pay with your time. Of course these are all mundane actions from the perspective of the Desrain. However when you do something truly memorable? When you become the turning point of energy? That is when the Desrain takes notice. And this is where our story will begin or rather end.

In a moment that is. First I believe I have some explaining to do. For all those that come from a far away place this must be confusing. A history lesson is in store. Hold back your groans for I believe you will find this address absolutely fascinating.

Millions or maybe billions of years ago, the Desrain was created. No one knows where it came from. Maybe some "God" created it or perhaps a freak glitch occured. Whatever you believe does not matter. Only the truth is valued here. Through the Desrain many energies have been created to flow through the multiverse. Most notable is yin and yang, as some may call it. Although the words vary from time to time the truth remains. Destruction and Creation. Neither more important than the other. Only through balance can the flow be maintained.

As the story goes everything stemmed from there. Magic for some, intelligence, plants, language, beauty, and of course life forms. All of these are noted and stored away in the Desrain simply because there is knowledge to be learned in everything. Sometimes these tales are revealed to beings. Only a special few are chosen.

The tippers of balance. Whether for "good" or "bad" as there really is no difference. The name Savior has been adopted to refer to them. From thenceforth that is how we shall refer to them as well. Do not be fooled by the name however. Everyone can be a Savior even if the acts performed are not "pure". I can mention a few examples from your universe. Der Führer, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Saddam Hussein and many more. Some caused destruction and others promoted peace. Either way they played a part in keeping stability between energies.

Every single one of them is here. In the Desrain. To keep the most authentic source, the Desrain retains them to tell their story. The sole job of them is to regale unfortunate souls with their greatest defeats, most fulfilling victories, thoughts, feelings, passions, motivation and anything else deemed important. As you can imagine these stories take years to tell as not a single detail can be left out. Even if the Savior wished to stay silent they couldn't. The Desrain forces all memories to come out. At least if you go with it the story is a wee bit more interesting to tell and listen to. Time is slowed in this realm. Every year in this cursed place is a mere second in your home realm.

The tale you will be listening to today is of a world long forgotten. Most of the language is far too convoluted to understand. Pronunciation is a nightmare or gargles and deep throat noises. Filled with tension and tones it would take eons to teach you. So most of the words are far simplified from their origin. Do not worry however as the integrity of the story has not changed.

We shall be delving into Loralei. A world destined for doom. From beginning to end the world reeked of destruction. Anywhere you laid your eyes on there was negative energy. Greed and anger filled all the inhabitants from bottom to top. Pillaging was normal, rape no grevious crime, the strong over take the weak and no one objected to it. Of course besides the bottom of the food chain. But what did their opinion matter?

As was said by one of the founding life forms," The derelict of our society are no more than stepping stones to the future glory we shall find." Whether you believe in this ideology or not, this was the reality of Loralei. The only time there was true unity was to stop anyone from getting true power. Sure there were minor lords but not once in the background of this world has there been a king. For in a world of greed, who would be willing to bow to another if they could prevent it? Any attempts at controlling these people was doomed from the beginning.

Correction. All but one.

Anyone with half a brian, or any similar functioning organ, can see where this is going.

So have I taught you enough of the backstory? There will be no stops from the beginning to end. No time for comments and definitely no time for questions. You best have been paying attention. If you have listened well you may have already figured out everything there is to know. Tell me. Do you know who this story is about? Do you know the ending? The victory? I'm really quite curious. Some have guessed all mentioned above by this point. Yet some are still blissfully unaware of the trials to come.

Now it is time. The Desrain is anxious for the story to begin. Afterall...

Who doesn't love a good fairy tale?
