The year is 2,260, America. The country has become a monarchy due to a war against an alien race called the darklings. After the first war, they arrived again, disguised as humans. After their second defeat, they finally retreated. This was because of the sabers, an elite group of knights with swords made of pure energy. But one person in particular is what ended this war....
Queen Ember III speaks to a large crowd of their heroic deeds, so that they may never be forgotten.
"I am Queen Ember III. I am also known as the Darkling princess, but that is an untrue name. This is a story of fun, of sadness, of war. About a boy who united the Darklings and the humans. Stopped a war, but..."she begins to choke up. "In exchange for his life. I tell you this story to honor him today, on the 16th day of September, the day the Sabers made their last stand. this shall forever be known as Sabers day!"
The story pauses. We see an old woman reading this book to what appears to be her grandson.
"Sabers day? What kind of holiday is that-
He is interrupted by the old lady.
"-It's a great holiday, you know nothing. Now, where was I.....
Oh! yes."
........
"In the year of 2,258, the 2nd war of the Darklings began. The Darklings are wild creatures. They are made of pure shadow and cannot be stopped by hardly any means. They can form into whatever they like, including another human. And so, they invaded.....nobody really knew who to trust, you never knew if your neighbor or your new neighbor or your roommate was a darkling. But this story is not about that. It is about this boy, who happened to become my knight. But how it goes....his name was Geoffery.-
