Celestial Storm: Golden Dawn

Prologue

Welcome to the magical world Ängîkhiõus (pronounced awn-gee-key-us), a world without an empire, king, or leading country. The world is composed of tens of thousands of regions or territories, the most powerful regions control an island or a small portion of one of the two super continents. The continents are polar on the planet and in alignment, one super continent contain good cults that believed in justice and fair treatment to all people. While the other continent containing the evil cults that wanted to enslave the world and control all races of the planet. Most of the guilds live on the islands for greater chances to be employed by opposing sides of the world and cults.

The regions are ruled by the world government (which does not control the world yet for they fight the cults and guilds for control), cults which worship patrons from higher dimensions, and strong guilds that act as mercenaries for allied cults. For years these forces have fought a world war for thousands of years which has not ended even now, no one remembers how the war started but the world has not stop fighting since then.

But one mage that lived four hundred years ago came very close to ending the war, and taking over the world. The man was the most evil and powerful wizard of all time, he was known by the world as the 'Dark Mage', and the founder of the most powerful evil guild in the world known as 'Lich Crown'.

Ten legendary saints of the good mages fought the Dark Mage as one and defeated him, at the cost of their own lives. At the same time the world government was formed to bestow justice to the world and end to the endless war.

As for what happened to the Dark Mage afterward no one knows, but many believe he died that day. But a prophecy suggests that the Dark Mage would return, along with the appearance of his equal that would challenge him to fight for the fate of the world.

And his guild Lich Crown still lives on without him, and over the years it has formed many enemies and rivals. One of the well known enemies is a guild that has legends, and it is still making legends today. This is the guild that was home to three of the ten legendary saints that defeated the Dark Mage himself. The guild has been known by the world as 'Celestial Storm', in the city of Kasodral on the island Ariyolia.

At the present day four hundred years later, after the fall of the Dark Mage. A lone woman walked down a road toward a harbor town call Cliff burg, which was on the island Nioyand. She had been walking for nine hours straight. She was determined to get to town and start a new life, and some money so she could pursue her dreams.

It was a fine spring afternoon, and around the path which she walked on the grass around the dirt path was green and fresh. The flowers of the season bloomed their colors, and their sweet scent in the fresh breeze filled her nostrils. The gravel crunched beneath her sandals, and the light breeze carrying the scent of blossoms tugged gently at her golden blond hair.

Her eyes where as blue as the clear sky above her head, and she wore a tank top and knickerbockers trimmed with white fur that touched the tops of her knees. She carried three bags, one over her shoulder, one hung at her left side, and the third and smallest one hung from her belt.

She was now walking in a field of flowers on a hill which sloped up. It took her a minute to reach the top of the hill when she got to the top of the hill see saw the town Cliff burg. The ocean beyond the harbor reflected the light from the sun overhead, and the wind from the ocean carried the salt breeze to the hill which filled her lungs.

The town was in between two cliffs that dropped into the ocean. There where ships docked in the water, and airships docked at ports on the cliff side facing the ocean. On the top of the right cliff was what appeared to be a lighthouse, or a tower of some sort. By the looks of it the towns people were hard at work, and ships left and came to and from the harbor.

By the looks of the town, there was a mining operation that mined minerals out from the cliffs in tunnel networks. And many of the ships looked as though they were cargo ships, the woman on the hill top knew this kind of stuff already. That was one of the reasons why she came to Cliff burg, since it was a town where people from all the world came to trade and buy things of value.

This woman was not an average person. She was a mage rookie that had just started her adventure. She knew not of what awaited her in the future, but she had started a golden age of adventure.

She took a deep breath of fresh air, in tasted of salt from the ocean. She looked up into the blue sky, and could see the sun was shining brightly in the sky. She raised her hand to shield her eyes from the sun. She felt the warmth of the sunlight on her palm.

"So, this where I start?" she said to herself.

She then smiled to herself, "I'll pick up where you let off, I promise."

Aftersaying that, she continued her walk into Cliff burg.
