This is the page I've been looking forward to the most. This is where the story REALLY begins. I chose to start by introducing the reader to the vast world, but here on this page we finally see our main character, our Heaven Sent Hero. I'm setting up a huge hero arch here. I decided the fastest way for me to really begin the story, was simply throw a character down into an isolated situation, (In this case, it is the last bit of the southern ice shelf left on this world) and have his character evolve dynamicly through his choices and decisions.

I'm hoping people reading feel curious about where he came from, what he was doing in a comet, meteorite whatever the heck it was. It's the first big mystery that I'm going to be toying the readers with. It's my "Who killed Laura Palmer" mystery. I started this comic not knowing myself, but as of the publishing date of this page, I've worked out the details of who Prometheus WAS, and what he was doing and how he's come crashing down to the southern glacier. But when you read this page, remember, don't create a backstory. Create a CHARACTER. And that's what I've got here.

Prometheus has lost the memory of his experiences, but retains certain sciences, ability to do complex mathematics, and all of his skills. From this point I'm really exploring who Prometheus is, and where I want him to go. This page marks his Birth, and the end of our epilogue. Hope you enjoy.
