Thy Will be Done
A chilling tale of Earth-Beta, set during the nightmare year of the
Occupation of the Dark Circle.
Displaced from a cataclysmic, dying omniverse, in which the Overlord's
triumph and the fall of humanity is known only as an author's tale, the
Exiles: seven strange travellers all too familiar with ruin and the
horror of a struggle without hope, must stand by helplessly whilst the
nightmare unfolds, lest by their overt interference they change what
destiny has decreed must come to be.

Prologue
|
On a frigid midwinter night two days before the first anniversary of
the Overlord's death and the breaking of the Circle, five children huddle
close about a campfire in the returning British woodland, while Rhiannon,
one of the seven other-world founders of the fledgling Emerald Kingdom,
tells of the Occupation's end, and the chilling tale of how she and her
companions came to their world.

Part I: Chapter I
|
Awakened by Helios with a nightmare vision planned by them a thousand
years before, Pluto prepares to travel to a world where Crystal Tokyo was
never born, and use a gate that does not belong to her. Meanwhile, on a
commercial flight bound for Washington D.C., panic takes hold at the coming
of the great darkness.

|
Part I: Chapter II
|
It is the 14th of January, and the world stands unknowing upon the
brink of ruin.
|
|
Part I: Chapter III
|
It is a nightmare. Again and again, the thought reels through
professor Wilhelm Heinrich Reinhardte's numbed mind, as the shouts and
jeering of his pursuers grow ever closer on his heels, and he knows
there is no escape.
