It was foretold that one day a rift would open in the sky. The seraphim would fly down alongside their dragons. bathed in the golden luminescence of the heavens. They were to gather the worthy and devour the rest, a day of gold and glory.  It was in fact a day of gold, but not glory. There was so much blood that it died the grasslands red. Sheng watched as his grandfather, the only Saint left in the world, the planet's protector, fought the horde of dragons and angels.  Known at the time as the blue spear of the grasslands, Amadeus Thariel gave his life to protect the human race. The hordes of gold and white were not there to collect, only to kill.  Sheng escaped with his life. It was heavens first and perhaps most fateful blunder. Sheng would one day return to recover his grandfather's weapon, the only thing left of him,  and he would use it to spear the heavens.
