Major Story Arcs

In Brinke of Eternity #1 Arcana convinces the Celestial Council that humanity’s destruction of Earth‘s environment and atmosphere means that the planet is unworthy of life. It is later revealed that she fears humanity will spread throughout the galaxy. Brinke Stevens opposes her half-sister’s scheme but fails to gain support among the Council.

Arcana travels to Earth to recover various ancient artefacts that will allow her to activate the Armageddon Matrix hidden in Earth’s core. Arcana is then confronted by Brinke before she can initialize the matrix. After a brief struggle, Brinke uses her Eternity Power to incapacitate Arcana and declares that ‘It’s over!’. Brinke slings the unconscious Arcana over her shoulder and phases out of Earth’s core to an unknown location.
