[539 / 82 / 19]
Quoted By:
Your name is Shu, and you’ve come a long way at the end of the world.
The world as you knew it is long gone, consumed from without by a ravenous being from beyond the stars. Humanity’s been reshaped into a vicious, feral thing by the Crucible, their bodies twisted into raging beasts of muscle and bone, voices and minds warped into tools of war. The Daughters—combatants elected by the Crucible to fight and devour their fellows to reach even the apex of hideous strength—are perhaps the lucky ones, granted the freedom of choice in a world where most humans, flora, and fauna have been melted down into a carpet of raw biomass that’s pulled taut across our world.
Like every other Daughter in existence, you can feel the pull—gnawing at your bones, pulling every fiber of your being towards the tether between a mutilated earth and an alien sky. You call it the Cord, and it’s said that reaching it’s summit will grant the Crucible’s victor the power to reshape all that is into all that will be.
A siren’s song, beckoning you to the end of all things…
…but you’ll fight it, and anything else that would dare to drown out humanity’s future.
Before you at this very moment looms a living mountain of flesh, a titan wrought of animals both predator and prey. One of three colossi, the most erratic and violent of the Apocalypse Amalgams—Behemoth stands head and shoulder above his kin, and has demanded that you make a choice between two equally unappealing options.
On the one hand, he asks you to step aside and allow him to stop the very thing you came here to ensure comes to pass—a rocket launch, set to pierce through the Crucible’s false sky and carry a fraction of humanity’s future with it to the stars beyond.
On the other, he’s ordered you to finish this hunger game in the way he believes its creators intended—ascend the Cord. Claim the throne. Continue the cycle, presiding over another world’s devastation with a hollow title and a heart full of regrets.
He’s not the first to offer you a binary choice.
He won’t be the last to regret it, either.
