Elemental warriors

Prologue

Long before the divine sanctuary was built, there was a mysterious magic that created a barrier between its location and the outside. It sent a wave as it created the barrier, and anything or anyone that was near it had this gift, but there's a catch to it, if you use it for personal or evil gain, then it will become a curse... the curse of imbalance.

The curse of imbalance is when a guardian or a warrior decides to use their powers for evil and cause or destructions towards others, or a fellow guardian or warrior, and it will consume them and their gift will be forever weak and make them crave for power and control.

And so it decides to choose seventeen random people to become the warriors, which then they become the guardians, and those people build a sanctuary to protect it. Every thousand years or so, a new group of warriors and the old will teach them, and the old ones will die. But it never expected three guardians stabbing the other guardians in the back and betraying it for power-hunger and greed.

So it banished them and turned their gifts into a curse. Scurius, the guardian of death, felt the betrayal of his friend and the deaths of others, made him feel variable and weak. And so he became very distant and stayed in the shadows in order to keep the remaining guardians safe.
