Out of the mist

[Renji]

Legend tells of a man, going by the name of Brail, who travelled half way across the world, fighting demons and other creatures of darkness. A man who's one and only goal was to free the world from the grip of darkness and the ever present mist that covered each and every land. He travelled with two companions who fought alongside him until the end. They both returned alive to tell of their friends plight. Of his success. For he did succeed but at a grave cost. In the final battle with the demon king the man gave his own life to summon forth the great power within the earth. The Aetheral Blades. Two blades that could kill even a god.

The mist rose and dissipated, the demons and creatures vanished and the world returned to peace once more. People rejoiced and a new era began, one where people didn't have to constantly be ready to fight. One where armies were just for show. But something was different, children were starting to be born with gifts. Some could control the elements, while others could manipulate the weather, and a rare few could gaze into the future. People put this phenomenon down to the use of the Aetheral Blades, and they said it would stop after a few years. But it didn't. More and more children were born with abilities. It was rumoured that the man from the legends also had similar abilities.

The different lands of the world began to argue and dispute what use the children, some of who were now adults, should be. Some wished to form them into soldiers to supplement their armies. Others thought they should be killed or locked away. Wars broke out, with large lands invading smaller ones. Some of the older “gifted” looked at what was going on in the world and thought it was wrong.

Secretly, on a remote island, which then went by the name of Cre'lsh, in the middle of the inland sea of Dah'rum these “gifted” gathered and formed a council. They called themselves the Guild Of Elders. From here they gathered gifted from around the world, training them, making their own form of law enforcers. Armies from the surrounding lands at war were attacked systematically, crippling that lands ability to wage war. Eventually the world returned to peace. Each city in every land had a headquarters for the Guild Of Elders. Here, new gifted would be recruited, trained and then dispatched throughout the land to maintain the peace. All those with the ability to see the future were taken to the fortress on the island of Cre'lsh.

For a while the world was at peace once more. But as all good things must come to an end, so must the peace....

So anyone interested?
