Elementis: The Darkness Awakens

Prologue

Once upon a time a seed fell from the sky. A seed with unknown origin. Over the years it grew into a beautiful tree with golden leaves and strange fruit. Whoever ate the fruit would be empowered with different magic. Each person was different. It would be passed down throughout generations of beings.

The first group of ancient humans to eat the fruit would become trolls. They had become larger with tougher skin. They ended up developing large claws. They would guard bridges and lived mostly on their own. They didn’t live in large groups. It was easier to provide for smaller groups of trolls.

One forest dwelling group ate the fruit and developed pointed ears. These were the elves. They became quite skilled with bows and arrows. They lived deep in the woods and were fierce warriors. They were rarely ever bothered by normal humans.

The Marala were ones who also developed pointed ears but the difference between them and the Elves was the fact that they had blue skin. Their eyes were also much bigger. Their senses were heightened. They had become cave dwellers. They even discovered bioluminescent flora and fauna. They used it as a tool.

The most important of these magical beings were the Elementals. These beings looked just like normal humans except for their abilities to control different forms of magic. The main four that everyone knows about are earth, water, air, and fire. Other elementals include, shadow, ice, life, moon, light, dragon, and several more. Their magic was nearly limitless.

There are many more magical beings created by the fruit. Over the centuries they were used by humankind to do things for them. Eventually someone led the magical people to safety with a staff made from the wood of their magic tree. He created a safe place for all the people to exist along with the source of their magic being the center of this new world. The human realm began to forget about magic and thought it wasn’t real.

With all the good magic that can be done, there is also the bad. It can destroy and create. A violent force to be wielded for better or worse. Temporarily locked away. Until it was found by none other than a princess. She awoke the darkness. It plunged her kingdom into it.

There was only one who could return it to its former glory. The Boy just so happened to be human.
