There was a time, not very long ago when Lorien was a beautiful place, a world so very different from the Earth.

It was a lush and beautiful world, much like Earth was before humans became the dominant species; Lorien was covered in trees and plants of all types and forests that predominantly covered the planet's surface.

The animals were plentiful on Lorien, all peacefully coexisting with one another; it was a world much smaller that Earth and it was such a peaceful world.

However, it was during the annual celebration of the rebirth of our world that it was discovered by the council that Lorien was in incredible danger; the Mogadorians, who had destroyed their own planet, were coming to Lorien to invade and destroy our people.

Pittacus Lore and myself decided that to protect Lorien's legacy and to ensure that their world would be able to live on they selected a number of children from Lorien.

These children were then ushered onto a spaceship to send them to Earth and I made the heart breaking decision for my youngest granddaughter to be one of those that were taken from the planet.

I had gifted Akela with a crystal when she was younger, I had been going away and she begged me not to go so to make the separation easier on the both of us, I gifted her with a purple energy crystal.

I knew that my visions of the future were going to happen, the darkness that the Mogadorians brought was too powerful to ignore, so I planned for the future of my planet; a world where I knew that Akela would need help from us even if we weren't there.

It was only shortly after the shuttles left for Earth carrying eighteen children with their cêpans that Lorien was destroyed; our once beautiful world transformed into a wasteland.

The planet was stripped of all its resources by the Mogadorian and now it is nothing but a monochromatic grey colour, where the wind no longer even blows on the surface.

Lorien, itself however, is still alive and is hibernating, regaining its strength and awaiting the return of the Garde that can bring back life to the now dead world; so many lives were destroyed that night, what had always been was now gone forever.

The only hope that our planet has of ever returning to its former glory, is if the remaining Garde survive the hunt that the Mogadorians have started to destroy the last of our race. This is the story... this is Lorien's Legacy.
