What if there was a world where everyone was based on a Crystal? Sounds pretty cool, right? Everyone would have incredible powers based on their crystal. Some may even be a god/goddess. Everyone respects everyone... except for some.
Some think that it's alright to abuse the power of Crystals. Some want to take over the power of their peers and steal the source gem in a crystal. The source gem is mostly known as the Anima Gemma. Anima Gemma is the source of the power and soul of a Crystal. If a Crystal/Person could Grab hold of an Anima Gemma from a Crystal, they could hold a ridiculous amount of power to hold. Unfortunately, if that happens to a Crystal, they die. Crystals are immortal. And if they die, they could end up in different places. They could end up in the underworld. In the underworld, you would face the judgment of the Lord of the Dead and go to one of Three parts of Hell: The Fields of Asphodel, Elysian, and Tartarus.
The Fields of Asphodel is the place where normal people go to. This is where people's souls turn into Shades. They become shadowy versions of the personalities they were when they were still alive. Nothing happens here. Nothing for all eternity. The other sad part? No one remembers a thing about themselves.
Elysian is a place of paradise for those heroes who fell and lived a heroic and exceptionally good life. This place is a First Class place.
And, finally, we have Tartarus. Tartarus is the deepest and heart of the Underworld. It's the place where evil people and monsters fall where they can be tortured for all eternity. This is the place where also fallen gods and crystals fall so they could be punished for the crimes and acts they bestowed on the world.
Now, the underworld isn't always the answer to death. Sometimes, on very -VERY- rare occasions, a human/Crystal is blessed by a god or goddess that favored that soul and could not live with the thought of that person/crystal living in the underworld and so they bless the soul to in the Heavens above. This place is the ultimate paradise for gods/humans/crystals. There are multiple ways for a fallen soul to be blessed, and all of them are very good deals.
Now, you're probably wondering who the rulers of the Underworld and the Heavens are. These two people are Mizanda and Morten. Mizanda is the queen of Heavens and Morten is the king of the Underworld. Before they got these titles, it was only them. Them only and The Seven Crystals. Now, these crystals aren't in their humanistic form yet. They weren't even real Crystals. But they harnessed the 7 main elements for nature.
Okay, maybe I should tell you from the beginning...
Before the world was created there was only Mizanda, Morten, and The Seven Crystals. Like I said before, they harnessed the elements of life and nature. The Seven Crystals were Fire, Water, Rock, Ice, Lightning, Light, and Dark.
One day, Mizanda asks Morten if they could bless the crystals and give them human features, just like them. Once Morten thought it was okay they both chanted a blessing for them. Then they all turned into humans. They still had the factors of a crystal, but they were still human-like. They were the first children of Mizanda and Morten. Which made them Gods. With their help, they all helped by creating the planets we know today. And did they decide to live on Earth?
No. Screw Earth.
They created a separate planet so that the Humans would keep themselves out of their business and live peacefully. And Earth was the place where the Humans could live in it and jack the entire thing up. The place that the Gods and Crystals live in is called Titania. Titania is Latin for Titan. The reason why it's called that is that Titania is WAY larger than Jupiter. That's right, smack in between Earth and Mars. It has the qualities that Earth has, but more different exotic plants and beings live here, it has a little more vivid Weather. The gods wanted the humans and the crystals separated because although Titania was a beautiful world, it was very dangerous (Look up to see). So humans get to have Earth while the gods and Crystals have Titania and everyone is happy where they're at.
Well.. that was until NASA thought it was a good idea to have an uninvited visit.
So, yeah. The humans made it home to Titania.
They were lucky that the beings on Titania were friendly to them.
But they were unlucky that they came at the time of the Great War.
The Great War was a huge war between the gods and the crystals. Remember what I said before about how some gods/crystals thought it was okay to ruin their world by stealing the Anima Gemma? Well, that is what the war was about. And it all started with a god named Aaron. I know what you're thinking: WHAT KIND OF GOD HAS A NAME LIKE AARON?!
Honestly, I have no clue.
But yeah, his name was Aaron. And he was a total Jackass.
Aaron had a huge desire to kill gods/crystals, destroy cities and cause reck to everything there was. He did all of this for fun.
Like I said: Jackass.
He manipulated people to start wars and lead the whole planet to chaos. The Great War was so deadly and so long, it would make World War 2 from Earth look like a school fight. The Great War lasted for over 2 hundred years. It was a great triumph when Aaron's side fell and gave up. The gods won. And the Great War was over. No one knows what happened to Aaron during the war when his side fell. Everyone has had many predictions about what happened to him: He fated away, he -in cowardness- teleported to a different dimension, he was turned into a slug in the process of fighting (It happens). Whatever happened during the war, nobody was able to prove anything was right about the disappearance of Aaron.
The Great War was decades ago, but there was still damage that needed to be repaired. And still today, monster attacks are more common than they used to be, and invasions from kingdoms to others increased rapidly. But everyone was still happy to have the war over.
And there was no sign of another one coming for a while after that...
