No, not that beginning.

The other one. After the great burning. When God’s chosen vessel
came to take his rightful place upon the throne, ruling over all, at
long last, as He had promised.

But God works in mysterious ways, and that Utopia so many
had looked to with hope and anticipation, had yet to materialize. Such was the
fault of man who had not yet learned to trust with complete faith and with an
eye single to God’s glory.

The world was baptized once by water, and then, as foretold,
by fire.

And the phoenix rose with wings of flame and a golden halo.

After the wall was built.

After the refugees were expelled.

After supremacy of a pure race was reestablished.

After the alliance was broken.

After the planet was raped and plundered.

After the axis powers made that final assault.

We were left alone to be ruled by He who had come to save us all. Or so we believed …

Once upon a time.
