Will this be the end of humanity as we know it? Will The Seven finally get what they have always truly wanted? Alastor, an alien-human hybrid is left brooding after losing everything to Kakos, Queen of The Seven. Abandoned as a child by his earth mother and Alien father, he was left with an almost complete nihilistic outlook on everything and everyone. Alcohol and opioids became his communion; a way to bring peace to his emotional tempest and silence the voices of chaos within. Alastor is oblivious; oblivious to the power of The Seven, oblivious to humanity's origins, and oblivious to his own power. This self-inflicted naivete and careless behavior become his reckless crutch. Now Alastor must make a choice. Will he help fight for the Lost Ones, or will he keep down the path of self-destruction that has led him to nothing but tragedy?
