3 | Holy Stones

Kagnia, 1293 years ago. The year 0. The beginning.

CHAPTER 3 - HOLY STONES.

AGE: 0

The world of Kagnia didn't always exist. In the beginning, there was nothing. Until one person arrived in the middle of space. The middle of nowhere. They created Kagnia from nothing. They created everything there is. Animals, humans, earth. They pronounced themselves the "Holy Stone". But there wasn't just one. 

The original Holy Stone was named Ahriman. She named herself Ahriman, as the true meaning meant "The Lord of Darkness and Chaos, who is the root of all human disappointment, strife, and confusion." She had a method for discovering, or creating new Holy Stones. She would act as Kagnia's God. Someone everyone obeyed. It was named "Ahrimanity". Those who would act against Ahriman would be killed in their sleep by their nightmares. Ahriman was the first magic wielder.

AGE: 28

This was the year Ahriman created the first Holy Stone. She named her "Krilia." Krilia was Ahriman's right hand. The person in the chair. Krilia had a mysterious appearance. Green, short hair. One arm. And a green aura when at full power. Holy Stones were powerful beings with strange appearances that looked nothing like humans. They were ridicuously tall, and protected, or hurt the planet depending on how they felt or who they followed. Each Holy Stone had their powers based on the colour they were created with. They were more powerful than humans and devils.

AGE: 30

Krilia revolted against Ahriman after finding out she wasn't really Kagnia's saviour. Krilia put up a good fight, as she was taught by Ahriman herself. Ahriman thought she defeated Krilia, but she truly escaped into the darkness and started the first rebellion against god herself. This would end up being known as "Uppreisn". The people of Kagnia fought well against Ahriman. The revolt would end up going on for centuries.

AGE: 459

The uprising was looking good for Krilia. Ahriman had 6 other Holy Stones at this point. Anwir, Birsha, Scarlet, Buer, Dagon and Charen. All of them had their powers. Halfway through this year, Krilia had a meeting with all the Holy Stones.. including Ahriman.

"Doth thee understandeth the severity of thy choices? Thee has't undone our chances of taking the human colony. We could've been GODS, Krilia!" Ahriman spoke in ancient Kagan. "Miss, you shouldn't take the human's planet! I understand you're power hungry, but this is MY planet now too. And if you have a problem with that.." Krilia glowed green. "Then come at me." 

Krilia single-handedly took out all 6 Holy Stones, Anwir, Birsha, Scarlet, Buer, Dagon and Charen. They all took turns charging at her, but she managed to take them all down. Anwir, the yellow glowing Holy Stone. She had charging magic. She was able to charge a powerful blast and shoot it at Krilia. Krilia managed to dodge and attack with her summoning powers. "MS. AHRIMAN! SHE'S TOO POWERFUL!" Anwir screamed in agony. "No.. thou art just too weak." Ahriman stated before opening her hand.. and closing it. That's all it took for Anwir to implode. 

Next, came Birsha. Birsha had pink powers. She had healing, which also reversed into taking away health. She used it on Krilia, before finding out Krilia had a body shield on. Always. Birsha was also killed. Weakened by Krilia, killed by Ahriman.

Scarlet, red powers. Fire. She shot a powerful fireball at Krilias face. Krilia summoned a shield and bounced it back on Scarlet. Weakened, killed by Ahriman. Buer, cyan powers. Water. She summoned a water ball around Krilia, trapping her inside of it. Krilia used it to swim toward Buer, and stab the side of her neck. Imploded by Ahriman, again.

Rinse and repeat for Dagon and Cheren, the twins both with purple powers.

Krilia stood up and faced off against god herself. Ahriman. "It's a shame.. thee wast so powerful. But instead, thee hath decided to be a weakling. Now thee wilt perish." Ahriman. White powers. Ahriman was divine, and she was able to do ANYTHING in her imagination. Although, she had a limited one, and Krilia knew this. Ahriman summoned a powerful meteor above Kagnia, and laughed maniacally. "CRY! BEHOLD AT THY DEATH! HAHAHA!" She laughed and laughed. Krilia appeared in front of her, much to Ahriman's surprise. Krilia pushed Ahriman into the meteor and..

AGE: 668

200 years had passed since the war. Kagnia had entered an era of peace. New Holy Stones were created for the purpose of good. Krilia died 100 years ago, but gave birth to 3 Holy Stones. Leviathan, Morfran, and.. Viola. The records of the evil Holy Stones were kept and preserved, and taught to many. The ones about Krilia being the hero and saving everyone? Gone. This made everyone believe that the Holy Stones were evil. Viola was the most popular one, helping everyone she could, despite others' thoughts of her. One kid she helped called her mother over to heal her disease, but she took her kid and ran away. She died the next day.

AGE: 1292

A year before our current hero's story begins. There were 6 Holy Stones. Viola, Ruthven, Akuji, Euryale, Lilith, and Rem. All were the guardians of Kagnia. Though, they obviously weren't viewed as that due to the lost records.

AGE: 1293

Violas death. Naphtalis rage. In the week beforehand, Viola saw the future and she knew she would die at the hands of Eros, Naphtalis's father. So, Viola passed on her Holy Stone powers to Naphtali while he was sleeping. Normally Viola would have lived an attack like that. But, due to her not having Holy Stone powers, she died.

"GR.. GRAAAAAAAAAAH!" Raged Naphtali. Otherwise now known as "Naphtali: Rage mode" He took the form of a giant horned monster. He attacked Eros and Faolan. He ran at them.. and..
