Before the kings came, the people of the land had an agreement with the dragons. It was negotiated by the dragon priestesses, who could communicate with those fearsome beasts through their familiars, the Little Dragons. The kings, however, knew only the way of the sword. In their war against the dragons, they killed their smaller cousins as well, along with the priestesses who cared for them. The revenge of the dragons was disastrous for both people, forcing everyone to live their lives at night, when the dragons sleep in their caves in the mountains.

He was too short, they said. Too light, they thought. By the time National Signing Day rolled around in February 2002, not a single Division I or Division II school offered Antoine Bethea a football scholarship. At five foot 11 and 170 pounds, Bethea did not fit the mold of a college middle linebacker, the position he played as a high school senior. But while Bethea didn’t have prototype size, what those colleges couldn’t measure was how much he wanted to succeed.

Those who planned humanity’s escape from a doomed Earth didn’t wait for crowdfunding or positive public opinion polls. Construction on the UESS Volery was well underway when stories about Apophis colliding with Earth began to move from pseudo-science blogs to the front pages of the Associated Press. That was lucky.

The world was running out of time.
