Book 1, Beginnings and Endings - The 15th Moon - E-book - ePub

The account of the following events begins on the 1st Pertarara of the 3rd Lunar Cycle (50 elonsk visible) of the 13th Moon, Polectemar, in the 31, 978th Scurescoriata following the 1st Scurescoriata prophesy of the founding of the United Colonies by the Prophets of Missellendrica. Formada kept this diary throughout the duration of the quest. Recorded by, and retold through, the Armoured Battle Angel from Crag, Melora.
This account has entered into the Royal Archives and the historical records of the United Colonies, by decree of the House of Representatives and the United Colonies Council of Representatives (UCCR) of the United Colonies. Perhaps I was inspired by a spiritual force, or perhaps by fate or destiny, but regardless of any external influence, I had to persist in my personal quest for knowledge and wisdom if I was to understand the direction my path would lead.
Moreover, it was vital if I was to survive those who continued the hunt for my kind. As the last surviving De-àllero, to the best of my knowledge, being a shape-shifter was a dangerous thing, for the enemy had clothed itself in humility, but contempt existed within them. If one knew what to look for, their disguise would be their undoing. Humility is not something someone can pretend to possess, for humility is a genuine feeling of compassion, and contempt is the complete opposite; contempt in this sense, is hatred.
