Paradise Violated

"We can't stop now Alyssa. We're almost there! All our dreams will come true!"

Alyssa just shakes her head in dismay, which is suddenly followed up by a look of shock and pain, you both look down and see yet another of one those snake things. This one has just bitten Alyssa deep in the leg. You immediately grab it and squeeze the life out of it, but its too late, whatever deadly poison it injected in her works fast. She falls; you hold on to her and whisper that everything will be alright. She looks at you one last time with sad eyes and then shuts them.

"It's okay Alyssa, I'll bring you back to life, the Xont will have technologies that bring the dead back, I heard that story before. Its gotta be true!"

You carry Alyssa's body back to the raft and launch it back down the river, still convinced that you'll find the Xont structure. You make sure to keep her body under the canopy; she still looks as beautiful in death as she did in life. Most of your team is dead or unconscious and after a few days pass, all of them are dead, only the Slink Slinks remain on your raft, running and squeaking about. The sun beats down relentlessly on your boat of death. You feel so hot, you wish you could feel the coolness of Alyssa's body again, but it no longer generates such temperature anymore.

You walk around, observing your dead team members, the Slink Slinks hastily attempt to get out of your way. You manage to pick up one of the Slink Slinks and look at it in curiosity. You let it go as it desperately squeaks in fear. You stand at the edge of the raft and look off into the distance as the sun continues to destroy what's left of you.

"I will achieve my destiny. I will find the Xont ruins, and plunder the ancient technology and secrets within. I will bring my beloved Alyssa back to life. I will unite the Lizards on this planet to follow my commands, and build an army. When the Empire ships come, we shall take them over and begin to build a fleet. Others shall join me when they see that the old Empire is corrupt and stagnant. I shall destroy and replace it with a stronger one. I shall found a dynasty with my beloved Alyssa, and form a pure bloodline of strong future rulers. All that oppose us, shall be crushed, the Elojin, the Mazatt, and the Krik. The galaxy shall be ours. For I have been chosen by destiny, and I shall meet it."

You turn around one last time and address your team.

"Who's with me?"
