It was written within the scrolls of Tiberius, Second Sage of the First Age of Reason:
The human species, as far as my knowledge can bear, is a relatively young species within the scope of the universe. There have been many to walk the stars before us, and we are but dust clinging to the rock which orbits our bright star. While some might argue we are alone in the universe, I have evidence to the contrary. While the battles of the clans raged about us, and the Dead Hawks fought the Bloody Boars, there was felt a presence among them that nary a one of us had ever heard nor seen before. Peace like a tangible wind swept o'er us, and we were beset with weariness. All laid down their weapons and returned to the peace of their homes. I, and I alone, know the truth of this...I saw the warrior with the sharp ears pass....I saw the sunlight from his hands weave a fabric over the minds of the warriors gathered. While I am called a fool and a dreamer, I am certain of what I saw....a sharp eared man in full armor and sword sidling through the trees whispering...I will be burnt alive for such heresy, but this scroll I bury so that one of reason may someday know that others walk among us.....
Written by Fenicius, Monk of the Benedictine Order, early Monastic periord of the Island of Eire:
Praise be to the Holy Father! I have witnessed today a miracle as in those of old! A warrior angel of brilliance and light strode through the battlefield against the army led by the demonic one! The wild man with the metal box that summons fire ceased his attack upon seeing the angel sent by the Son of Man! He appeared like lightning, glimmering in light and storm, and stood before our armies as an answer to prayer. When the demonic one saw him, he pulled forth his metal box of fire, but rather than obliterate the angel of the Lord, came forth and of all things greeted him as he began to suck on paper of smoke he lit! The two talked for a moment, then strode out into the forrest in concern over what one of our soldiers mentioned as 'Tybalt.' Regardless, our forces now stood a chance against the marauders with their champion gone! Praise be to God!
(Attached to this document in another runic script, presumably written in the monk's blood) - Foolish monk....Master Rift and his comrade Illereas only had to see to Master Rift's family matters...they have returned not two days later together, and the city which seeks to oppress us lies in utter ruin....even gods tremble before Master Rift and his company...
Newspaper Brief, 1915:
Soldiers of the Allied forces marching across southern France today were shocked to happen upon German forces. The corpses of what appear to be a battalion of German infantry and armor appeared to be burnt alive by an unknown incindiary device. The small crater in the middle of their formation was surmised as an undiscovered weapon the German's may have been testing. Oddly, noted a military analyst, the opposing force seemed gathered around the crater, as if watching or approaching it from all sides. The corpses and vehicles appeared to be moving within a concentric manner around said crater. One French woman was found to have survived the blast, claiming she saw the "Shining One" standing calmly, then emitting a large beam of light from both hands. While medical doctors claim the woman is suffering from shock and a dissociative disorder as a result of the blast, weapons specialists presume the bomb to be some sort of new UV radiation device. More to come as further news allows.
Newspaper Clipping, c. 1920:
The Fire and Ice bandits struck again today, elminating presumed mob boss Don Corlione. It was said that Corlione and his three brothers were violently dismembered by what appeared to be knives and/or a sword...the chosen weapon of the famed Fire and Ice Bandits. Fire and Ice, two men rumored to be unhuman, have been terrorizing local crime syndicates for nearly 3 months now. Little is known about these two men, save for the eloquence of the one known as "Ice" who is said to have surgically altered ears which are elongated and point upward, and the gruff nature of the one known as "Fire" whose ferocity when provoked makes even the most hardened wiseguy soldier tremble at his mere name. While no pattern has been established as to the erradication of the syndicates, what is known is that few survivors are left, many of which have muttered strange, uncorrolated phrases such as 'Rift, Ill, and death." Autopsies show no signs of Illness or chasms, so the nature of these words are unknown. Criminologists are looking into the possible gang slang tones of these words.
