Description

Final Part of the Howler Saga

The Sovereign emitted a screech out through his palace which echoed through the vast artificial caverns of his grand capital. He could sense the immensity of the place – build over countless centuries by generations of howlers. Today the Howler Empire stood at the zenith of its long existence. But, tomorrow, it could all be undone. The Sovereign had a decision to make: keep fighting a losing battle in hopes of an eventual breakthrough or trust this enigmatic A.I and his plan. And he had to make it fast for the enemy was closing on the capital quickly.
Next day break, it was decided. The capital will be abandoned and all resources at their disposal will be deployed in enacting the A.I plan. Their empire will perish but, in doing so, they will give the galaxy respite against the coming darkness.
To their last, the Howlers fought the frantic horde, bidding the A.I time to construct its great structure – a network of pylons, stretching across the galaxy. As the last of the Howlers fell, their sacrifice was not in vain. The pylons activated and rend the fabric of space and time around it, effectively creating a ‘great wall’ that, if nothing else, brought time for the other civilizations, hopefully, to advance enough to face the threat once the pylons start failing.
