They're Back...

Great men are not always wise.

Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.

Greatness lies, not in being strong, but in the right using of strength.

Responsibility is the price of greatness.

To become truly great, one has to stand with people, not above them.



They once lived in caves, and struggled with the simple task of cracking the shell of a mollusk with a stone.

They once had no language, beyond simple vocalizations.

They once looked up at the sky in wonder and curiosity.

They have fought bloody wars, that killed many of their own.

They once suffered global pandemics.

They once knew the worst of what they could be.



Then they learned.



They can communicate with any form of life.

They have conquered war.

They have wiped out disease.

They have mastered the stars.

They stand ready to attain complete and total knowledge... the ultimate perfection... they stand on the brink of what humans would consider Godhood itself.

They are supermen.

Nothing is unknown to them.



Except one secret, that will bring them down from their perch among the heavens, and cause the Gods to fall to their knees.



They are the Orvani.



I have revisited and refined my "Shades of Gray" story, and will begin posting the new and improved version here very soon.

Oooh man, that sounds AWESOME!! I know what it's about...I'm not sure how much I should say. But I like the prologue...nobody gives a historical perspective on Greys. They're always super super super advanced, as if they were always that way...and unique perspectives are what make things fresh and original. :D

Thanks! Yeah, it'll feel more real this time, I hope... there were certain aspects of the first version I wasn't that happy with.
