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 roar of ship wakes Mr. Bedlam. He instinctively attempts to jump to his feet only to find that he can’t move… at all. He blinks a few times, trying to clear his vision, but it doesn’t improve. He tries to reach up and wipe his eyes. There is some sort of dust clouding his vision. He quickly learns that he is utterly immobilized. He sees a faint glowing light through some cracks in the darkness. He figures he must be trapped beneath several pieces of rubble. 


	Athena must be just above him, “I’m down here, Athena? Where is Officer Coal?”


	“I’m here, sir,” Officer Coal shoves a larger chunk of debris out of the way to where Mr. Bedlam can see the two of them, “We’ll get you out, sir, don’t worry.”


	Mr. Bedlam would shrug his shoulders if he could, instead he just rolls his eyes, “When I’m worried, you’ll know.”


	Well, he certainly seems healthy enough.


	Officer Coal stops for a moment and stares at Athena.
