Connor Whiteley

Hello, I'm Connor Whiteley, I am an 18-year-old who loves to write creatively, and I wrote my Brownsea trilogy when I was 14 years old after I went to Brownsea Island on a scout camp. At the camp, I started to think about how all the broken tiles and pottery got there and somehow a trilogy got created.Moreover, I love writing fantasy and sci-fi novels because you’re only limited by your imagination.In addition, I'm was an Explorer Scout and I love camping, sailing and other outdoor activities as well as cooking.Furthermore, I do quite a bit of charity work as well. For example: in early 2018 I was a part of a youth panel which was involved in creating a report with research to try and get government funding for organised youth groups and through this panel. I was invited to Prince Charles’ 70th birthday party and how some of us got in the royal photograph.Finally, I am going to university and I hope to get my doctorate in clinical psychology in a few years.

PROLOGUE

LET THE GALAXY BURN!

That was their cries.

That was their cry of war.

The men in the shadows.

The men under the veil of the darkness.

The men with the plague in their hearts.

My species died so they could be stopped.

My species were slaughtered because of them.

That should have been the end as my species sacrificed ourselves to purge the galaxy of the plagued ones.

Equally, we knew these men would come one day.

So we were ready.

At least we believed we were.

We created a virus to act as a final failsafe to permanently stop the plague.

The plagued ones must die.

The plagued ones will be stopped no matter the cost.

The virus we created took a thousand nights to make.

It will take a thousand nights to activate.

It will take a thousand nanoseconds to purge all life from the galaxy.

My people never thought that it would be used.

But it was.

It was used to devastate the galaxy.

It was used to end all life in the far future.

That is why you are needed my friend, Son of She Who Creates.

You must stop your... friend.

If they find the virus then all is lost.

She who Creates allowed us to see the branches of time and space and we saw only one conclusion: extermination.

Even as I send this message across time and space hoping that it will reach you.

The Plagued ones run rage-filled across the stars burning each world they come across.

No one is safe.

No one will survive.

No one will hear me.

Oh God, He comes.

The Plagued One- the Devourer, the Creator of Disease.

He has seen us both.

He will come for you in the end.

His Puppet the Supreme One will be his gateway.

I cannot speak for long but... forget everything else.

Focus only on the Virus if that is unleashed that there is no hope.

If He comes into your universe then there is less but there is some hope.

CHAPTER 1

STARING FOR MILES AROUND, a man cladded in dirty grey Angel armour glazed upon the ruins of a Hiveworlds that was an endless pile of ash and flaming charred remains of buildings and bodies.

You couldn’t see the once red sand that filled this dry arid world.

Now the ground had become a vast graveyard filled with endless shards of bones as well as buildings.

Entire skyscrapers had been bought crashing down, trillions of people ended in an hour, an entire ecosystem decimated.

Even the sky that was once a peaceful shade of baby blue was now a thunderous battlefield of storm clouds.

Slamming their lightning bolts into the group. Causing mass explosions to shake the surrounding areas.

Taking off his helmet slowly, every breath his figure breathed in was filled with suffocating ash and chemical toxins that desired to consume your lungs.

Within seconds, his figure’s face was covered in thick soot and ash as the air blew past him.

This entire planet was dead.

This entire planet was a wasteland.

Therefore, the question was why was this man here?

With a mere thought, the figure mentally reformed the landscape to see what had happened.

For this was no mere human, nor was he an Angel. He was Grand Master Garro of the Heretical Magi Order and he was here seeking answers.

Upon the reconstruction’s completion, Garro’s suspicions were confirmed.

In magically green smoke, Garro witnessed the arrival of the 5th Angel Legion who within seconds of arrival. Launched hundreds of chemical weapons onto the planet.

Levelling most of the hive city even before the bombs sprayed out of the chemicals.

Choking the life out of everyone who was remotely nearby.

Although, this was typical behaviour from the 5th Legion nowadays as Kortana had turned them into brutal savage warriors who cared not for burning an entire world.

They preferred to save their combat prowess for worthy foes as Garro had briefly discovered. When he managed to catch the 5th Legion by surprising on the space station orbiting the pleasure world of Galactical.

Continuing to watch the reconstruction, Garro was partly surprised by the next action of the 5th Legion.

A lone Kingfisher descended from orbit and landed in the centre of a crate.

Marching out from the Kingfisher, two Angels and Kortana wondered over to the remains of an old treasury building.

Within a thought, Garro fast-forwarded the reconstruction to see when they came out.

Upon their return to the Kingfisher, one of the Angels was holding a sort of black stone disc with the same cryptic runes that featured on Garro’s staff.

The reconstruction ended.

This posed a lot of questions for Garro. Such as:

What was the purpose of the stone disc?

Why burn an entire world for it?

How did the stone disc come to be located here?

Garro thought long and hard about his journey hunting Kortana as well as her heretical friends.

You see over the past 12 months ever since Garro departed the Republic to hunt down Kortana.

He had only been able to find them three times and even when he found the 5th Legion. It was common for Garro to walk away with more injuries than answers.

Although, even when Garro was a few weeks behind Kortana. The information that he had discovered was nearly always useful because Garro had managed to work out the following about Kortana’s plan.

Upon the outbreak of the Heresy, the first planet Kortana went to was called: Mithra 13 were Kortana purged the entire world for the sin of existence as this planet was the basis for the Republic’s military control in the subsector of space.

Nevertheless, Garro discovered that whilst this purging did allow all the 5th Legion and several pirate allies to pass into the subsector with little resistance.

The true purpose of the attack was to hunt a group known as the Mithraism.

This group were experts of sorts in mysteries and local lost knowledge.

Consequently, Kortana abducted all 13 members of the group.

Following this Garro lost the 5th Legion for two months until they showed up in deep space.

By the time Garro arrived, Kortana was done and she gave Garro the bodies of the Mithraism.

Upon inspection, the bodies showed mass torturing and ripping out of their lungs and other organs.

The Grand Master knew that Kortana had discovered what she wanted, and it was another a few months until Garro and the 5th Legion clashed again over the abduction of a 9-year-old girl.

Kortana rumoured that this Girl was a type of Unborn Saint and contained information about the Virus of a Thousand Nights that she required.

Garro doubted that a 9-year-old could even understand the importance of herself or know what a virus was.

However, upon meeting the Girl, he was terrified as this Girl stripped him temporarily of his magic and used it to reborn herself into the body of a monster.

Garro was only able to survive this encounter because of the timely arrival of Kortana and a squadron of the 5th Legion tanks.

Following this rescue attempt, Kortana and Garro agreed to temporarily be allies- but after a brutal fight against the Girl. Garro murdered her to prevent Kortana from getting the information she needed.

Thinking about the actions that Garro had witnessed. He knew that Kortana was getting closer to finding the map room that would lead her directly to the virus.

The Grand Master was about to teleport away when Kortana appeared behind him.

Hello, my dearest Garro, Kortana beamed.

Garro snapped: "You killed trillions of people. You burned an entire
