Room for History

'''For the sake of creating a richer history for the storyworld I’d say that there would be about 18-19 years that pass before Nikolas ends up in Argos. During this time his father builds the wormhole machine, while grooming his son to be a top notch scientist. In the year 2064 Earth’s yellow sun begins to die and Nikolas abandons ship at the orders of his father and enters the wormhole which sends him 60 years into an alternate past. Nikolas joins with a group of survivors who refer to themselves as The Nightingales. They work together to help Nikolas rebuild his father’s machine in order to escape their own world. Over the course of many years, Nikolas builds a strong relationship with the leader of The Nightingale’s eight year old son, Aries. He becomes a sort mentor to Aries, and begins teaching him all that he knows. Aries takes a vested interest in metaphysics and Nikolas’s wormhole theory. On one fateful day a large number of undead and hostile bandits set upon The Nightingale stronghold at New Athens University. A large battle ensues and Nikolas makes the ultimate sacrifice in order to save the life of Aries, the eight year old boy. Nikolas was never able to finish the machine. Some many years later, Nikolas is reborn by the mysteries of the universe. As he grows up, his father passes down his knowledge and teaches him everything he knows. Nikolas spends many a day learning with his father and helping him build his machine. His father’s name is Aries and he tells Nikolas how important he is to their future.'''
