Everyone noticed the day the animi disappeared. No one knew where they went, or when they went, but everyone knew they were gone.
Many dragons searched Pyrrhia and Pantala from top to bottom, but no one could find them. After a few weeks, the searchers were forced to give up empty handed.
And that was precisely when they returned.
At first, things progressed as normal. Almost everyone was glad that they were back, and the continents descended into relative peace. The formerly-missing animi merged in with their surroundings perfectly, and no one suspected anything at all.
Until they attacked.
The Sky Kingdom fell first. Survivors escaped to tell tales of the horrific slaughter that took place when the animi rebelled. Several said that the attackers called themselves Sentinels, and the name stuck.
The defenders fought back fiercely, but it wasn't long before they started losing more kingdoms to the scourge. Soon only the RainWings and a few rebels remained, but just when hope seemed lost, reinforcements from Pantala joined the fight.
The battle of the rain forest was the defender's first triumph. It was also their last.
The Sentinels turned the full force of their might on Pantala, and took the entire continent within days. Without animi of their own, the defenders didn't stand a chance. When the rain forest was attacked again, it fell.
All of the rebels were exterminated mercilessly.
Both continents were held in an iron grip of fear and sadness.
Hope vanished like mist in the morning.
And their only hope was retribution for their pain.
