There once was a goddess, as powerful as the universe, her name was Araminta. She lived in a sumptuous palace, with only her riches to accompany her. She had it all: power, immortality, and beauty. But there was one problem, she was lonely. Not even power can solve her loneliness. She desired to share her power with someone else. Someone to adore her, someone to worship her. Then, she created 5 human beings. They were the first humans to have ever existed. They each have special abilities. Araminta didn't stop there, the mighty goddess created them each a kingdom and people. Each kingdom matches their abilities. They were known as the 5 Sacred Warriors.

Valda was the warrior of passion. She had the power to control human emotions and attract others, she was like the siren of land. Like her people, she looked warm and welcoming. She was always positive and loving. But when it comes to protecting her people, her ardent heart turned fierce, she would stop at nothing to fight. Her titanium metal armor protects her from flying arrows and swishing swords. Her armor was also covered in beautiful silk that was handwoven and chosen by her people. The silk was vibrant and vivid compared to the clothes they made those days. Plus, it was mysteriously indestructible so its beauty would survive every battle she fought.

Nereida was the warrior of water. She had the power to control water and could convert to a sea creature or a mermaid. She was so stubborn and resilient that no one dared to challenge her to a game of wits. She would always win. Her kingdom was different from the others, it was underwater. Her people also had the ability to convert from mermaid to human or the other way around. But only she had the most gorgeous mermaid tail that made her look like an angel underwater. Her tail glimmered in the dark depths of her kingdom, showing off her pearly scales and beautiful translucent, patterned caudal fin. What was more peculiar was that her hair was transparent and acted like water. There were no strands in it, her hair looked like a giant blob of water that was tamed to look pretty. Like oil and water, it never mixes with other liquids. When she was underwater, her eyes glow yellow and her hair glows like tiny specs of lightbulbs were placed in it.

Kenna was the warrior of fire and electricity. She had the power to control both fire and electricity and create them. Electra was famous for her temper and decisiveness. She had black afro hair and threatening red eyes. She was the most powerful warrior out of them all. No one has ever defeated her in any fight. She spent most of her time fighting and training that her motto was to 'always punch your way out'. Even though she was tough and rough, she was still fair and understanding.

Dhara was the warrior of florae. She had the ability to control plants and was the best at creating herbal medicines. Unlike the other warriors, she never considered herself royalty. Of course, she lived in a palace and she was royalty. But her palace was different, it was more like a castle. If she wasn't fighting with the other warriors, she spent most of her time experimenting and studying. She was the smartest of them all. She wore simple clothes. If people don't know who she was, she could be mistaken for a villager.

Caelestis was the warrior of the skies and light. She had the ability to fly, control lights as if they were solid objects, and make objects float. Her kingdom was the most magical of them all. It was always night there, her people have never seen sunlight. Because of that, she had dark wavy hair and her freckles formed stars that glow in the dark. Her dark skin camouflaged with her surroundings making her look almost invisible in the starry night.

They were all considered as demigods. And their five kingdoms were to be named the Realm of Life.

In return, the warriors thanked Araminta by reassuring that their people would worship her and created her gifts.

Valda, the warrior of passion, gave Araminta her the flag that she used to claim the land where Valda's people shall build Araminta, a temple dedicated to her and only her.

Nereida, the warrior of water, gave Araminta the Loli necklace. Legend has it that the Loli necklace had the power to transform anyone into a mermaid. Even people who are not part of the water kingdom.

Kenna, the warrior of fire and electricity, gave Araminta her signature bow and arrow. It was hand-carved by Kenna herself and was believed to electrify or burn anyone who was shot with it.

Dhara, the warrior of florae, gave Araminta her famous book of remedies which she wrote herself. Inside contained remedies and potions she experimented with, some are good and the others are pure evil.

Lastly, Caelestis, the warrior of the skies and light, gave Araminta the mirror of stars. It was no ordinary mirror, it had the ability to transport you to Ho'omaha. Legend has it that Ho'omaha was a secret land that was discovered by Caelistis herself. She was traveling in the skies when she saw a beautiful beach. Where the oceans were the skies and the skies were the universe. No one knew the location and was soon told of as a myth.

The warriors fought day and night, against demons and villains, to protect their realm. Their abilities as their strength and human nature as their weakness. It wasn't easy, they were still part human. It means that they could still feel greed, stubbornness, ego. But they still worked together, against all the odds, and won every battle against evil.

Years went by like mere days. The second-generation came rolling in. After they each became too old to fight, they each gave their roles to their daughters and went on to become the queen of their separate kingdoms. Even demigods can't live forever.
