Into the Dusk

You may be looking for Into Dusk

Into the Dusk is the first story in the Tales of the War series.

## Synopsis

"Have you ever heard of the Alliance?"

You might not have heard the name before, which is why I'm here to tell you that it's a name to be feared.

There were two beings responsible for creating it, one an old scourge of many dimensions, the other one an apple of unknown origin. Elusive in origin and identity, he still proved a major threat to the dimensions.

Despite that, however, the authority figures that governed reality known as the Capital Government would not go to war with him since they were still recovering from a previous one. There were others willing to take him on though.

The first battle takes place in the orbit of Avalon IV - a planet orbited by a vast web of satellites. This first battle could - and probably will - decide the course of the war.

## Plot

Deep in interdimensional space, a Capital Government survey ship is attacked by a mysterious being. Every member of the crew is killed by the being.

Shortly afterwards, a being named PoseidonHeir contacts a friend of his named GreaterA. He informs him of his plan to take down Jonathan. After informing A, Poseidon summons Lord Bread - a member of the Council of the Ancients that he knows - to get help. Lord Bread informs him that the Capital Government (which the Council rules over) is weary to go to war but that Lord Bread will support him. After Lord Bread leaves, A decides to summon a friend of his - SANTACLAWS. Before he can do that, though, a friend of Poseidon's - Ankarstian - appears where Poseidon is. Poseidon is shocked due to Ank deciding to leave the Trident Foundation (which Poseidon controls) and travel the universe after his boyfriend/husband Finn broke up with him, however, Ank reveals that he is here to help fight Jonathan. Ank attempts to summon a friend but is interrupted by SANTACLAWS appearing. SANTA promptly joins the Resistance. While this is happening, Ank reveals that Jonathan is working with the Pillar Imperium. This shocks the rest of the Resistors, however, they quickly come to believe it. Shortly after this, the being that Ank attempted to summon - General Loceria of the Xrastonel - appears. The Resistance attempts to boot him out, however, Ank reveals that he invited Loceria and that the Xrastonel are enemies of the Pillars. Loceria then gives a map of Xrastonel bases recently attacked by the Alliance. The Resistance thus decides to visit one of the bases as their first objective - with A sending a probe out to the first base. Ank then pulls out a Galacticomputer and researches the worlds nearby the bases. After this, it is decided that the Resistance will visit the first base - which is nearby the Avalon system. Thus begins the Jonathan Crisis
