Mercury, the Dark planet. Known as the Realm of the Dark, it sends a shiver down to its enemy's spine and portrays a force of dark nature that draws the pure act of evil. The Mercurians, a race of dark elves, dwell within the realm, they serve under a dark rule and show no mercy when carving the blood of their enemies. Malekith the Dark, ruler of Mercury and supreme leader of the Dark Elves. A heartless, ruthless and cold hearted ruler, Malekith loves the moment of destroying and torturing his enemies until he sees their souls leave their bodies, knowing for the fact that it could cause dire consequences for Mercury. But Malekith doesn't care and is willing to cause more pain and destruction to any threat that threatens him and his destiny. Apart from only ruling Mercury and destroying worlds, Malekith's goal is to rule the entire universe and by doing that he must acquire the inevitable power of a god. The Crimson Aether, which falls under the Chasm of the Crimson, is a force to be reckoned with, an artifact that has the ability to warp reality, one who wields it can control reality at will. Malekith is driven by avarice and the need to rewrite existence, his avaricious behavior startles his people, including his own family. Thinking further for obtaining the Crimson Aether, Malekith over thinks the probabilities as to where the artifact might be in the universe and who hides it. "For aeons, our ancestors prolonged their journey to rule and decimate any threat that crosses their path, even having the need for power and the need for glory. They praised the dark and worshipped its presence, knowing that they will bask in it and nurture it's true power. Now here we are, just sitting around, doing nothing, moping, instead we should be out there!! LOOKING FOR THE GODDAMN AETHER!!!!" Shouts a crazed and frustrated Malekith to his council. Algrim the Cursed, brother of Malekith, calms him and speaks to him in a soft tone. "Brother, calm down, we will seek for the Aether and you will rule all of reality as you please. But now we must further discuss on what we are going to do about the Light Elves ". "Oh to hell with the Light Elves! They are the least of my worries, we must search for the Aether brother, before its too late!". " What if they are also seeking for it? What if it is also their mission to rule the universe? What if it is also their destiny? Her destiny?". Algrim's questions finally catches Malekith's attention and starts to think more clearly about the situation. "Yes, what if, surely they've somehow heard of it and discovered what it can do, it can change their lives and it can change all of reality. If they obtain it, they will have the power to rewrite reality, their own reality and then we will all have to live by their rules under their new reality. I will not let that happen, not on my watch! I will never them reach their destiny! For it is my destiny! Not theirs! Not hers! If she thinks she can overpower me and thwart my plan for universal domination, she has another thing coming!". Malekith vows to destroy his sworn enemy, the Light Elves, after learning that they can also outwit him into seeking the Crimson Aether and use it to rewrite reality. Now who are the Light Elves? And are they truly seeking for the Aether?
Venus, the Light Planet. Known as the Realm of the Light, it shows a peaceful trait that defines its loveliness and beautiful affiliations. The Venusians, a race of light elves dwell within the realm, they serve under a light rule and also show no mercy to their enemies if necessary. Ayesha the Light, ruler of Venus and supreme leader of the Light Elves. A beautiful, kind and merciful ruler, Ayesha only kills her enemies if they show no sign of conceding but is not a bloodthirsty killer other than Malekith and the Dark Elves. Her destiny is to only give peace and love to the whole universe and hopes of spreading the force of prosperity throughout the universe. She learns of a power that is somewhere across the cosmos, a power that can warp reality and the one who wields it, has the power to do so at will. She also learns that her rival, Malekith, will scour the galaxy and seek to control it and all of reality. Reality will change into a dark domain and chaos will ensue. Ayesha visualizes the future of Venus and sees her people enslaved by the Dark Elves, living through the torment and suffering. Seeing the Crimson Aether as a violent tool of evil and destruction, Ayesha's mission is find the Aether and destroy it for the greater good or it will be too late once Malekith finds it and uses it to recreate the universe into his own reality. Now dwelling in the peaceful and beautiful realm of Venus, with its cherry blossom trees and its cerise gardens, it is a glorified world that is the very definition of beauty and compassion. Ayesha is comfortably sitting in the throne room and enjoys a bowl of sweet peaches and a glass of Turkish delight infused wine. "I wonder what Malekith and his malicious Dark Elves are thinking about right now. Are they going to kill us in our sleep? Just come in our world and start attacking head on? Or secretly planning the invasion of Venus? Hmm....these are such primitive beings! Always having the need to kill and destroy, it never ends! But as long as we distant ourselves from what they're planning, then it won't be a problem, not for me of course". Fearless and clueless about the warring situation, Ayesha decides to enjoy her moment and not overthink the future of Venus. Suddenly her peaceful moment is cut short when her advisor, Lady Elsa, barges in the throne with some harrowing news. "Your Grace, I come bearing news" saids a wheezing and heavily breathed Elsa. "What is it Elsa? And why are you wheezing so heavily like that?" Ayesha asks in a careless tone, she can sometimes be pompous and be full of pride. Elsa then cuts it short and tells the news that will change their lives forever." Your Grace, our scientists were running diagnostics and scouring through our interstellar network, they found a rather strange anomaly". Ayesha gains impatience and waits for Elsa to get to the point. "This anomaly's stats appear to be of an infinite number, its temperature is off the charts and it's readings for galactic basis are utterly out of this world or should I say universe". Ayesha's impatience reaches breaking point. "Elsa, my dear, I know this is exciting for you because you seem to have this sudden interest in science. And I know this appears to be good news but can you please my dear, GET TO THE POINT!!!. Elsa is shocked by Ayesha shouting at her and gets to the point." I think at this point, Your Grace, we can say that the gods have answered us, we found it, we found the Crimson Aether". Shocked by Elsa's discovery, Ayesha has finally found a way to end Malekith and the Dark Elves' reign from power and a way to reach her destiny. She calls upon her council to strategize the search for the Crimson Aether and call a possible meeting with Malekith. "I'm sure you're wondering why have I summoned all of you here. Well my dear ladies and gents, my dear Elves, my precious Venusians, Aphrodite has finally answered our prayers" Ayesha's exciting news seems to be creating a sound of suspense and wonder, the Light council (as it is called) question themselves about the sudden summoning and the mystery of what the exciting news unfolds, Ayesha then answers their questions for them. "Lady Elsa and a group of Light scientists were searching through our interstellar system and while they were searching, they found a strange anomaly that could depict greater results of certified energy. This energy appears to be infinite in its number and carries an extremely high temperature". Ayesha then continues explaining to the council but her presentation leads to a unexpected discovery. "After concluding their process, Elsa came to the Throne Room and addressed the discovery of an ancient power,one that predicts all of reality's stature and the universe's balance". Mr Fimblewinter, one of the members of the Light council and headmaster of the school of Venusian mystics, is quickly drawn to the discovery and suddenly recognizes the ancient power." Your Grace, apologies for interrupting but I think I know what this ancient power is. Aeons ago, our ancestors, both of different factions, once fought over a greater power. The power was said to be capable of recreating reality and shattering existence, one who wields it will have that capability and we will all be under their mercy. Since then war was waged and so the first Elven War was born. Elves of two different kinds, black and white, day and night, war and peace, the Dark and the Light, they were at war. The mightiest soldiers of those kinds lost their lives, innocent lives were also taken, a wave of destruction portrayed a great deal for our ancestors as they knew the continuous war they were having shall lead to more discord. Now two kinds dwell into realms that suits their personality and trait. The Dark now dwell in Mercury, the Dark Planet and the Light now dwell in Venus, the Light Planet. The power that they fought over is said to be the Crimson Aether, the one true power that can control reality". The Light council gasped and was shocked at what Mr Fimblewinter had revealed, Ayesha's point has been made and reveals her plan to the council." Yes, my dear Elves, the Crimson Aether is the anomaly that was discovered in our interstellar system, the power that has increased temperature and the one that is the ancient power. Now we know what Malekith is capable of, he and his Dark Elves could be scouring the galaxy, looking for the Aether as we speak. And once he finds the Aether and gets his hands on it, it will be over for all of us, for all of reality. We must find it and somehow........destroy it if possible". The Light council is shocked yet again by Ayesha's real plan for the Crimson Aether, they argue over the point of knowing the true power of the Aether and aiming to use it against Malekith and the Dark Elves or seemingly declare war on Malekith without using it, which could help them either way by still using it against him. Ayesha seems to ignore her fellow council members warning of destroying the Aether, for it could spell danger for all of Venus, she then continues further with her plan."Malekith has the most dangerous and lethal assassins in his realm, he trains them to show no mercy when carving the blood of his enemies. If needs be, we will show him no mercy, we will do whatever it takes to get the Aether and destroy it for the sake of reality. And let's not forget that we also have the most dangerous and lethal assassins in our realm, as we're known to show love and mercy throughout the galaxy, we can also be full of mercilessness towards our enemies. I send Robin Goodfellow, one of our best fighters in battle, to traverse within the galaxy and search for the Aether, once they find it, they shall bring it home then we'll see. My dear Elves, know that this is the only way to stop Malekith from reviving the Elven War, for it will destroy our people of different kinds furthermore and will be the result of the end of Mercury and Venus. Understand that I'm doing this for sake of our people and for all of reality ". Ayesha has come to a conclusion of presenting her plan to the council, even though some members do not agree with her plan, she doesn't care, whether they like it or not. Now Ayesha summons Robin Goodfellow, Venus' best fighter, leader of a rag-tag group of heroes called the Bright Ones, an adventurer and a philanderer
