R:GDD:Story:1
Back story:
Krux is born as a slave. All members of the Cube race are slaves in the current society. They are quite powerful and adept
at physical labor. The slavers are of the pyramid race, whom reign over the entire continent. To make examples of people, and also
the worst punishment they give, is to turn a cube into a pyramid. They beat and force the shape of the people to change into a pyramid
form. Once a person is completely changed to the pyramid race they can never be returned to whom they once were. All memories are lost
when the change occurs and the person becomes one of the pyramids. Aeri is the wife of Krux and also a slave. Their daughter is taken to
be made an example out of. As one would expect, they were not happy with this decision and tried to take the daughter and flee. Krux and
Aeri are captured and sent to the prison, while their daughter is being sent to the tower, where the transformation ritual will be forced
onto her.
