The Legend of the Zeta

[Leo]

OOC Note: This storyline occured in another timeline, so everything that happened here happened in another "demension".

Storys, legends, and legacies were spoken of the Zeta for a long time. Many believed the race to be simply spawned from nothing, and as old as the Ancients who created the C'tan(Nomads). They were not entirely wrong, but that is another story all together. Just as all races evolve, so did the Zeta. Their DNA was in a constant flux of space/time, and so they constantly evolved, each new generation bringing with them new abilities.

However, evolution does not always grant the user new abilities, but new curses. Sometime after the third king of the Zeta, Jaezel, a child was born to a poor widow, and he was not of Zeta race. His eyes were orange, his body more tan than a normal Zeta, and had tremendious power. As the child grew, so did his agression and rage. Each new day bringing more uncontrolled, untapped power to the table, and such power did not keep things in balance.

The Prince, Yek, considered the child a menace and cast him out of the Zeta order, and the Zeta planet entirely. The child was given a ship, and doomed to wonder space forever, until more Zeta began to be cast with this affliction, and they too were cast out of the Zeta order, doomed to wonder space forever. Eventually, the Rakzam, which is what they named themselves. They grouped together and landed on a planet far away from the Zeta order. They plotted a war with the Zeta...and a war they got. Sometime during the reign of the great king Raziel's father, the Rakzam struck with shocking accuracy. However, their inability to control their strengths and power marked their end, and the war was faught for only a few years before the Rakzam bowed to the Zeta's might.

Krazm, the King, cast the remaining Rakzam out, and destroyed their planet as punishment, saying to never return to the place of their ancestors. However, the Rakzam were plotting the entire time, and developed an ingenius plot to destroy the Zeta once and for all. They crafted a weapon to destroy their planet and once it was prepaired, they warned the King of his certain doom. The King was unable to save his people, so he saved the only person and child he could: His son. He launched his son in a craft, hoping that one day he would be able to save his race, several other Zeta were launched as children, attempting to save their race, hoping that one day they would all meet up once again, and the planet detonated in an amazing explosion...

Several thousand Lightyears away, on a planet populated by mankind, the pod crashed, and a man discovered it, sending the rest of the story into motion.
