Stoicheion: Awakening

Prologue

"With the Word, everything is created.

With the Word, everything is destroyed.

With the Word, everything is found.

With the Word, everything is lost.

With the Word, everything is freed.

With the Word, everything is oppressed.

Anyone who believes in the Word shall obtain salvation.

Anyone who goes against the Word shall be punished.

The Word itself is a powerful weapon like the sword.

The Word shall defeat the wicked and defend the just.

And with the Word, everything is fulfilled...."

-The Chronicles; Book of Rasul

Aetherion, that's the name of the planet that is being inhabited by human beings, ordinary fauna and some other extraordinary creatures. This world is divided into five continents namely: Mu, Notio Nero, Voreia Nero, Neos Lemuria and Xira. And uniting this world, the nation of Stoicheion was established. Stoicheion is the center of everything in Aetherion. Religion, commerce, political governance, technology and much more, they are found here. Many people come from the different parts of the world to come here and live a peaceful life. And those are not just empty words, they are really true. You would ask, who in the world of Aetherion would do this kind of thing? Well, the answer is very simple, it was done by the Rider.

The Rider is the person sent and chosen by the god Ieros and archangel Armonia to lead the people and be a mediator with the different races. The Rider existed way back from the beginning of time, when the humans were created. He established nations, ruled them, and also destroyed them if the conditions were met.

He possess the power that was given to him by the heavens called Sacred Art. This Sacred Art includes the art of Aera the art of the wind, Aquo the art of the water, Terra the art of the earth, Pyro the art of the fire and Aetheria the art of the heavens and life. These powers are said to be the representation of the authority of the god who bestowed these upon him. And so that the people will be reminded that their god is with them.

Those who believe in him believed that he is the spirit of the world itself, others says he is the messenger of the great god, a prophet perhaps. Others say he is a savior, others sas he is the punisher. But would you believe, if the Rider will also be the destroyer?

Well, I would.
