Through Voids of Darkness

Prologue

A long time ago, on the Planet Earth, there lived a man. Now, of course the question you are wondering is, “What exactly is a man?” Well, technically, a “man” is an alien of sorts, but these creatures can also be referred to as many things: a sinner, a deceiver, a careless oaf...yes, the race of man could easily be described for many hours. This man was no different, and his name was Owen I. Hurst.

Owen, a brown haired miscreant, began the origin of his relation to the Proth people one late, summer night when he was scuba diving far down on the ocean floor.

He was down very deep when he saw it.

Glowing in the void of darkness was a spherical object about the size of a baseball (a sport widely known on Planet Earth). Owen swam down towards the object to get a closer look. He went right up to it, curious. He peered down deep into it, transfixed by its crystal haze. He picked it up, mesmerized by its beauty. But something happened down there when Owen picked up that crystal ball...something that really never should have happened. For this was no ordinary crystal ball in the deepest part of the ocean on the Planet Earth. No, not at all.

This was the Planet Proth.
