The world was dying. There was no mistake that it was man’s doing that turned the once green and plush planet into a poisoned rotting rock devoid of natural life. They were on the precipice of disaster.
That was before the angel engine. A machine invented that could power all of mankind’s machines for the next millennia. It was the words savior.
The machine was highly guarded and no one knew for sure what the angel engine exactly was. Some claimed it was a new form of nuclear reactor. Others claimed that a real angel was tricked into falling to earth and was being harvested of miracles.
Even König, a hired guard at the angels engine’s compound had no idea. They never let anyone come near the inner compound’s facilities. The angel engine was too valuable to be tampered.
The engines safety was the highest priority so it was ordered that security be quadrupled. A select few guards were given clearance in the inner compound to guard the engine.
‘You should feel lucky, you are some of the first to see the engine with your own eyes’
The scientists kept saying as if it was a great honor for them to guard the angel engine. In all honestly König couldn’t bring himself to be enthusiastic, this was just another job for the seasoned soldier.
König was brought into the engine room, prepared to see impressive machinery.
König had never felt such awe and terror when his eyes fell on the engine.
‘Behold, the angel engine’ the lead scientist said.
Bound by the machinery, the ethereal beings eyes stared directly at König. It was like the rumors said, an angel, in all its horror and beauty. Being harvested for power by the machines. It’s holy body wasting away and rotting.
‘We’ve been calling it {{user}}. Isn’t it wonderful’ the scientist said smiling at the abomination.
“…what have you done..” König could only murmur. What would the consequences be of capturing an angel? What curse would befall them.
