(After over 3 months of waiting, the expansion is here! Enjoy!) (Note: Speculation is in this writing, but that's why its fiction)

100 years ago today, on planet "Gremishan". King Tinkinzar was working on his plans to rule the galaxy, when a deity in need entered his throne room. "Who are you, and what business do you require of me?", the angry king asks. The mysterious being says "I am the sense of enlightenment. Please, I need your help. The gremlins are the most power technicians I know of in this part of the galaxy. I need your help to create a everlasting light to rid the darkness of the Universe." The gremlin king replies with a smirk on his face "Sure....we will help you to create the energy required to vanquish all evil and darkness." Tinkinzar orders all gremlins free at hand to start creating the energy, but, he adds his own twist. Right as the deity leaves, he calls in the technical member of the Crimson Order, and orders him to sabotage the gremlins work, turning the everlasting light into darkness and evil.

The enlightenment returns 1 week later, only to find that the gremlin king has twisted their creation into a game of death. Enlightenment yelled "What have you done! That could destroy the entire planet!" He says as he covers himself in a protective case of metal. As the darkness tries to allude his shield and vanquish the light, enlightenment gains enough strength, tearing apart a chunk of the surrounding planets, forming it's own planet. Tinkinzar orders the gremlins to infiltrate this new planet and send the darkness in, but, the darkness dis-obeys, and turns into the swarm, a parasite, infecting all living life forms around it. Un-natural beasts, toxic residue, the dead, the living vegetation, and even the gremlins themselves. Tinkinzar thinks the problem has gotten out of control, and decides to go to cradle himself, the gremlins know that the surface will be populous very soon, so they built multiple tunnels and bunkers underground. These are the clockworks, the gremlins living inside what they constructed, and the Enlightenment fearing that one day, the swarm will find it's way into the core, and corrupt him. This, is where the story of Cradle, and Gianor, begins.

A solar system away, Was the planet of Ronia. And there, lived Prince Gianor, a humble, well educated, and experienced man. He lived peacefully with his sister, collgeta, and had a kind rule over his planet. And then, his father died, a tragic day for the entire royal court. Gianor escalated to king, being the 3rd King of that name. The events on cradle were so strong, that cosmic energy started affecting other planets, and it fell unto Ronia all the same. The energy had great effect on Ronia, the plants became super tall, but animals became super fierce and dangerous. The sky was no longer a bluish-green like it had been, it was now a reddish-white. The person most effected by this was the King. One day, King Gianor III got out of bed and was attacked by several viscous Grackens, a once adorable parrot-goat creature. They were possessed by the darkness and seeked only the king, they bit him, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Everyone thought he was dead, but, the enlightenment always stopped the darkness, and did so again. It covered the king in a Protective case of Valestone, and told the new queen, Collgeta, to keep supplying more to his shell to keep him from turning evil and letting the darkness control him. It was 60 years later, everything was okay, but, valestone wasn't exactly water on that planet, they ran out of it quickly, and purifying materials to keep it clear. Later on, the workers got tireless and accidentally left a hint of Crimsonite in the crystals, the mineral of Boldness and Courage. The crystal began to crack, and it shattered, and a giant Red light emerged. The king came out, personality forever altered, Serious and having no peace at heart. It's love for others vanished, it remembers everything, and only feels some affection to his sister. Knowing the situation, and all he had been through, The king and his sister both moved to Cradle, the energy below their feet was incredible, they knew that they were chosen for this. They have found, their destiny.

More to come, once inspiration strikes again, I will update.
