The God Child: The Time Grows Near More than five hundred years ago the prophecy of the coming 'God Child' was at its zenith. The comet that looked like an arrow appeared in the sky and raced toward the world. When it broke upon the outer most portion of the sky it split into three separate pieces. One burned up on impact, one bounced off of the atmosphere and settled into a fifty-four year orbit around the world, the third continued on its course, crashing into the world with devastating results. It would take over four hundred years to get the planet back to what would become normal. It also put into motion a series of events that would culminate with the beginning of a battle for global domination. The horde, a violent and extremely war loving group had moved into the neighborhood with the intent to take over the entire world. Before anyone knew what was happening the world was at war. After rescuing Waleran from the clutches of an evil wizard, Beatinas managed to escape with his young charge and meet up with a group of mercenaries that he used to lead. Without realizing exactly what they had gotten into he soon discovered that he and his group were immersed in a devastating struggle to save the world.
