For one thousand years, the Empire of Eden has dominated the universe. With their endless armies and the deadly warriors known as the Enforcers, no world has ever been able to stand up to the tyrannical invaders... until now. On one of the Outerworlds, Gahldor, the most recent planet to fall under Edenyte rule, a young man named Hiytax starts on a journey to discover the secret history, and hopefully, hidden weakness, of the seemingly invincible Empire. With help from the resilient rebellion known as the Unleashed, and an incredible warrior named Aliorah, Hiytax will travel the universe, exploring new and mysterious worlds in pursuit of a way to defeat the Empire of Eden. All the while, the heroes must evade the terrifying Enforcers and their malevolent leader, Mr. Bedlam, or else their dream of a free universe will be lost forever.

Odyssey of Eden

	The explosion from Genevieve’s attack left the dwelling crumbling to dust. A mixture of smoke and sand rose up into the air, blinding Hiytax. He fumbled through what remained of the building, trying to find Aliorah as he did so. He thought he saw a glimpse of someone off to his right and decided to gamble on whether it was Aliorah or one of the two Edenytes currently trying to murder them. Suddenly, Hiytax felt a strong grip on his arm, pulling him away from the figure lying in the rubble. 


	A voice he recognized as Genevieve’s abruptly stated, “That’s not her. Aliorah is already back on the Relentless.”


	Hiytax, somewhat reluctantly, allowed Genevieve to drag him away from the chaotic scene and back out onto the beach. When they emerged from the crumbling structure, they were greeted by Daedalus.


	Hiytax nods and coughs a handful of times, “Aliorah… is she?”


	She’s fine, but we’ll all be in trouble soon if we don’t leave this place.
