A very VERY rough draft of a story idea. If you read it let me know how you think its going! I will update it as often as I have time to work on it.

[UPDATE 01/06/09]-for those following this story, I am making changes/improvements as I find time to work on it. Here is still a rough, but not as rough, draft.

My name is Lucious. My brothers and I used to protect this galaxy. We were called heroes, protectors, Gods, now I wander alone, destroying the people I once protected. It happened over a millennia ago. My brothers and I used to follow our leader Leonidas. He was ancient and had existed longer than any of us. He had discovered the source of our powers, the powers that made us Gods. The source of our godly powers was the planets themselves. Each planet contains natural energy that is expelled as the life on the planet grows. The more prosperous the planet, the more energy is emitted. We could have easily gone to every planet, destroying it and all the like on it, just to release all it's energy in one glorious burst of strength that would of lasted us for centuries, but Leonidas wouldn't allow it. He knew that if we were careless we would not last very long. So he taught us to protect the lesser life forms. Keep them alive so that they could always power us. Leonidas was a good man. So we served our purpose, protect the worlds from each other, and themselves, so that they would live and prosper forever, but there was one who did no agree with Leonidas' plan. Raphael was the youngest and most arrogant of all my brothers. He felt that we should enslave the life on all the planets, use our strength to make them feed us power at a greater rate. When Leonidas discovered Raphael's plans, he confronted my brother. Leonidas' kind heart blinded him from Raphael's pure evil, and while Leonidas's guard was down, Raphael took the life of our leader. Before we realized what had happened, Raphael drained the life and power from our former leader, and used his powers to defeat us all in a single blow. We were thrown across the galaxy.
I awoke centuries later, in a part of the galaxy I hadn't seen since my youth. How did I survive? Apparently Raphael hadn't managed to kill us, but instead we had remained lifeless, some of us may still be lifeless. But for now, I was alone and uncertain of the destiny of my fellow brothers. As I regained my memory my anger rose. I had to find Raphael and reverse any damage he had done, but I was weak. I traveled for years trying to find a way back to Raphael. Then I came across a small planet. It was an almost lifeless planet with almost no intelligent life to farm its energy. I could feel myself becoming weaker everyday, so I cursed myself and lifted my weapon, and with one blow I destroyed the world and absorbed its energy. I was still only a fraction of what I once was. It was then I realized what I must do. Time was of the essence, I had to regain my strength and defeat Raphael. So since that day I have been traveling the galaxy, finding planets with the most life energy and destroying them. The battle has not been easy. For the stronger the life energy of the planet, the stronger the planet's life forms. The moral battle I face is only matched by the growing strength of the planet's inhabitants. I just hope I can find Raphael soon, before I loose myself in the horrors I have committed.
