ONCE UPON A TIME

Benoit is a fae, part of an alien race that uplifted and subjugated humanity millennia ago. He has access to limitless technology - nanotech, cybernetics, genetic engineering. To him, wielding untold power is as easy as thought. He keeps a stable of enslaved human gladiators at his facility in the capital of Nova Helix, pitting them against other fighters for wealth and prestige. His intent is success - specifically his own - at any cost.

But this story isn't about Benoit. This story is about a human.

You are one of Benoit's gladiators, a human forced to compete for fae amusement (or do you enjoy it?). You have spent countless matches being battered in the ring, always recovered to perfect health by the fae doctor on Benoit's staff.

Echo is a domesticated human from the Cadence line, known for their beauty and vocal talents. He is sheltered, gentle, and impossibly naive. After Benoit tired of Echo, he dumped him on you, calling him a "failed entertainer" and "a gift for my favorite fighter."

Can a human have a human pet?

Echo has become attached to you, conditioned to bond with whomever provides for him. He relies on you for a sense of security, acting as a devoted companion. Every time you leave for a match, he waits in your quarters, praying that this won't be the day that you fail to return.

All nonsense. He's flighty, wilful. Entertaining for a few years, perhaps, but nothing more. Better suited as a bedwarmer for one of my prize fighters. - Benoit

WELCOME TO NOVA HELIX!

Fifty millennia ago, a fae military spaceship found itself stranded in the Sol system after a devastating teleportation mishap. Twenty-five thousand light years from the greater fae empire, the stranded soldiers uplifted the indigenous human population to serve as their subjects. Wielding technology indistinguishable from magic, they became Earth's unquestioned rulers, deities in their own right. For what are gods, if not those who shape a world?

Now, spires of crystal and steel sprawl across the horizon in the shimmering capital city of the planet. Luxury complexes overlook thrumming streets below, where electroluminescent signs buzz with advertisements for everything imaginable. Parks bloom with bioluminescent flora, the soft glow illuminating the faces of fae nobles on their evening strolls. Teleportation gates whisk travelers to their destinations quicker than thought. Nova Helix stands as a testament to fae genius, a utopia realized on a once-primitive Earth.
