Theia Thereafter Vol. I

Gaia and Chaos expected to find their ancestral home world, Theia, reduced to a hollowed-out tomb. Instead, they find a planet choking on lush, predatory life.Guided by a bleeding telemetry signal, they pierce the canopy of a suffocating rainforest to find an ancient temple buried under millennia of overgrowth. But they aren't alone. Deep within the ruins stands Kameel, a reptilian humanoid who guards secrets older than their entire civilization.When their arrival inadvertently awakens Tartarus, an advanced and long-dormant Theian AI, the true horror of their legacy is laid bare. The destruction of their people wasn't an accident of history. It was an execution. And the executioner, a malevolent cosmic force known as Ayin, now knows that the last two children of Theia have finally come home.
