Day 12

A little unsettled by Kai's intensely formal way of speaking, and still feeling slightly lost,  Caleb could only ask for more information, "What happened? Why were you and the others sent?"

"Mass migration is a common sight in Elysium, my homeland. What once were safe havens are now uninhabitable, and desperate people do what they must to survive. You see, as the world darkens, so do the minds of men: Anger, fear and ambition lead to warfare, death and strife."

Increasingly overwhelmed, Caleb continued to grasp at what he could, "So you and the other ambassadors are some kind of heroes then?"

"Alas, not all ambassadors are motivated by good intentions. As you must know, dark times are ever the breeding ground for dark souls; greed and ambition fuel many hearts. Aided by the backdrop of impending doom, Machiavellian forces take the opportunity to put their sinister plans into action, making the situation increasingly dire and the ambassadors responsibility even greater."
