Prophesy and the Keepers
    Little is known of the Prophesy called the
"Coming of Darkness". A small group of reclusive people, calling
themselves the 'Keepers', are custodians to prophesy, and guard its secrets.
    The first sign of this 'coming of
darkness', is the birth of a child named Jonathon Hunter, to the family of the
Hunter who captained the first explorer vessel from Earth, in the twenty first
century.
    The second sign is the suffering of a
recurring nightmare of the first coming of darkness.
    To date, there have been four Jonathon
Hunters born, several hundred nightmare sufferers, and yet prophesy hasn’t been
fulfilled.
    Further information has not been
forthcoming from the Keepers.
    It is also not known why Prophesy the verb
is used more often than not, instead of Prophecy the noun. Presumably, only the
Keepers can explain this discrepancy.
