It was often said, in the days of myth of and magic,
that there was a place of eternal paradise at the mouths of four rivers.
Upon this perfect garden a people of immense power ruled over the world,
at times with a benevolent hand, with others a malicious fist.
At all times however there was but one rule: Do not partake of the forbidden things.
These objects were vessels of both indescribable power and danger,
their mere presence enough to shift the very fabric of the universe.

Tali'Zorah watched as Shepard plinked away at his omni-tool,
no doubt fiddling with the contrast settings.
"Sheppy, I'm going down to see Dr. Chakwas."
She sneezed, causing her entire body to shake.
Shepard looked up for half a second, then returned his gaze to the orange device.
"Uh-huh, see you later dear." He turned towards the fish tank and barely noticed as
Miss Zorah shook her head in slight bewilderment.
"I swear to my ancestors that if he's playing Starcraft with Garrus again..."
If ever there was a time of polarizing dichotomy,
of good and evil, of right and wrong, of light and dark,
this was not that time.
All were in perfect harmony, there were no transgressions against a fellow man.
Sin was unfathomable, and the only thing that could break such peace was a falle
"Hey Shepard." The hooded figure before him seemed to appear out of thin air.
"Jesus, Kasumi, you scared me." Without another word he pulled out his office chair
and resumed typing. Kasumi tilted her head with a mix of concern and curiosity.
She crossed her arms. "What are you doing?" Shepard continued to ignore her.
"Right then. You know I'll find out eventually." And with that she disappeared.
Sin was unfathomable, and the only thing that could break such peace was a fallen Angel.
The only thing that could redeem that fallen angel, was another angel.
"You're my angel Tali."
THREE DAYS LATER
Tali'Zorah stretched her arms as she exited the Med Bay.
Even from the Mess Hall she could hear the distinctive sounds of
Siege Tanks and Zealots coming from the main battery.
"Garrus, I'm coming in there and I'm shoving that Omni tool straight up your a-"
She tripped and fell straight into Shepard's arms. He gently raised her to her feet.
"Mi'lady." He opened a leatherbound box and presented her with a book.
She was surprised to say the least. "What is this for?"
"You're the smartest woman I know, I'm sure you'll figure it out."
With that Shepard did an about face and took the elevator down to the shuttle.
Tali opened the book, and read the dedication.
"To my angel, the woman I love, the woman that gave me a reason to keep fighting this war we may not in."
A single article fell out of the binding, a photo.
Shepard and Tali were sitting together in the original Normandy,
his face was scarred to the point of ill recognition.
Both emotionally and physically.
The image was fuzzy, do to it being taken from an automated security camera, but its context was clear.
"Virmire. Both Ashley and Kaidan died. Garrus was unconcious, Wrex wasn't talking, Liara blamed Shepard."
She read the caption on the photo.
If you're reading this, let it be known that the woman in this photo saved the Galaxy.
