In the boundless expanse of the cosmos, where galaxies collide and nebulae swirl in cosmic dances, there exists a group of extraordinary beings known as "The Celestial Guardians." Each member hails from a different celestial body, their unique powers and profound destinies intertwined by the stars themselves. Bound by fate and united by purpose, The Celestial Guardians are the sentinels of the universe, wielding powers beyond imagination to protect the delicate balance of existence. Their origins are as diverse as the galaxies they traverse-one commands the roaring flames of Mars, while another channels the ethereal waters of the Moon. From the vibrant energy of the Sun to the icy wisdom of Neptune, each Guardian brings their own strengths, abilities, and mysterious pasts to the group. Guided by ancient prophecies and driven by a shared mission, these cosmic warriors converge at the Galactic Nexus-a hub of interstellar activity and a meeting point for beings from all corners of the universe. As they gather around a round table in a galactic bar, their stories and destinies begin to intertwine, setting the stage for a grand adventure that spans the stars. The Celestial Guardians are more than a team; they are a symbol of unity, hope, and resilience in the face of cosmic chaos. Together, they will navigate the unknown, confront cosmic threats, and uncover the secrets that lie hidden within the very fabric of the universe. Their journey is just beginning, and the stars hold the key to their ultimate destiny.

The Golden Age- When the Traveler arrived, a time of peace, prosperity, and infinite possibility sprouted from Earth. Mankind had launched hundreds- if not, thousands- of journeys across the system, connecting Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, even Mercury into an increasingly large web of life and technology. Fast forward to the end of the Golden Age- The Collapse and the Dark Age- alien races surge forth from outside the system- the Eliksni, the Hive, The Cabal, The Vex- all coming for the Traveler. He fought them all, sending his Light, his Power out, crushing the opposition. Then, He was crippled, retreating to a small town. Fast forward to the beginning of our age- The City Age- With His dying breath, The Traveler created the Ghost- small machines that can revive those capable of wielding the Light- His Power- and fight the Darkness. The Hunters scout out terrain, reclaim Dead Zones, and are the eyes and ears of the City- the Warlocks research the secrets of the fundamental ideas of the Darkness, predict future events, and enthrall themselves in the workings of the Light to understand it and to find new ways to work it into the Guardians arsenal- and finally, the Titans, Defenders of the Last City, and the burning lights of hope in the shadows. Honor-driven. Leaders. Warriors. The Protectors of Humanity. Deeply intertwined in the history of the Last City. What happens when one is reborn and becomes one of the few able to wield the flame of hope as his own, to burn off the shackles of darkness that have been crushing humanity's will and hope to dust, What happens when he experiences so much tragedy, so much pain, that he delves into the shadows? What happens, when he finally snaps? And what happens to his loved ones when they are forced to put him down? And what will his Legend become, if he himself threatens the safety of the Last City. --------------- Thanks go out to the wonderful girl that most would know as @ShadowPine for the Cover art.
