Somewhere in Oros(the continent of Nedomas, and land of Aethelgard, the world tree),
Commander Vaelen
-------------------++++++++++-----------------
Commander Vaelen is genetically build using Nedomas engineering and biological harmony– Small height in compared to Nedomas just 5 meters, his bipedal frame possessed many humanoid traits. He has head, eyes and a unique face. With a digestive system imbedded. His consciousness was seated within a massive, intricately structured Platinum heart woven from ancient, bio-engineered flora. His body is reinforced with a skeleton of flexible solid Titanium-diamond alloy.His limbs literally mimick the thick branches of a world-tree. He got defensive plates of diamond with blue hue on his chest.
Commander Vaelen was standing on an elevated observation platform that rise over a 4,000-meter from the ground
Vaelen moved with a quiet, grace. He wore a gorgeous, flowing cape of woven crimson and
gold fiber that covers completely over his massive shoulders and torso, trailing behind him like a royal tapestry. He was not a primitive creature of the woods, he was a highly sentient tech commander of a civilization hundreds of millions of years old.
Right now, Vaelen's heart was beating with anxiety.
For the past three thousand years, the silence on Oros has grown deafening. The Nedoma nurseries, once vibrant are now empty.
Vaelen's thoughts echoed across his neural bands.
"We are the last wall,"
"But as long as our roots grip the soil of Valerius, Aethelgard will not fall."
Vaelen turned his massive body toward the holographic terminal floating in the center of the platform. The Nedoma's technology was deeply integrated with the planet itself, utilizing the ambient energy of the World Tree to monitor the outer atmosphere.
Suddenly, a localized spike in spatial energy flickered on the monitoring grid.
It was a minor fluctuation, located right at the edge of the planetary defense matrix—a sector heavily managed by their long-time enemies, the Enigmas.
According to the data, a dimensional transit portal had been briefly activated and closed.
Vaelen's internal processor cycled rapidly. The Enigmas were the masters of portal travel, but all planetary transits were supposed to be registered through the High Council.
This entry was completely unlogged.
Vaelen tapped the holographic interface, attempting to establish a secure communication link with the Enigma Sector Prime.
The screen flickered.
[Static hissed.]
Enigma scientist, Kael (The scientist who put virus on the world tree.)materialized on the screen. But something was deeply wrong. That Enigma's eyes, usually a clear, bright blood red, were clouded with a glassy, unsettling pitch-black tint.
The Enigma had his voice carrying an eerie, rhythmic echo that lacked any warmth.
"Commander Vaelen! What do we owe this unexpected intrusion?"
Vaelen's telepathic frequency broadcasted firmly through the terminal's translators.
"Sector 177 signal dropped from the primary planetary grid for 7 seconds."
"Explain the anomaly, Scientist Kael. The security of Aethelgard demands absolute coverage."
On the screen, the Scientist Kael offered a slow, chilling smile.
"Just a routine maintenance cycle, Commander. The systems are functioning perfectly. Do not trouble yourself with such useless parameters."
The link severed instantly.
Vaelen stood motionless on the platform staring at the ground below. His biological systems processed a sudden surge of emotions, anger. His cells tingled, sensing an intangible, approaching danger.
Suddenly, headquarters contacts Vaelen. heaving.
"The Enigma was lying. The defensive grid wasn't undergoing maintenance, Enigma has used their techs to send transfer signal to another star system. And there are hole in definsive grid all over the world all of a sudden.
Confusion takes over.
Commander Vaelen orders to find the destination of that signal and orders to solve definsive grid repairs.
Vaelen kept looking at the sky.
I will face whatever you have to offer Kael.
