At birth, every person- human, mutant, hybrid, everyone- is born with a gemstone on the top of their right hand. This gemstone is always green, or in rare cases, gold if they're born into royalty. As a person ages, the gemstone will change colours depending on the role they take on. Most remain green, many become purple, a handful become blue, very rarely some become gold, and an unlucky few become red. A person can be killed, but they have the ability to 'respawn' unless their gem is destroyed.
But there are another two other colours as well. White and black. Notch, the ruler, is the only living being with a white gemstone. He has unfathomable power, which can not be matched by any gem... Except black. Black is the rarest gem besides white, and tales of black gems pass like whispers in the wind, bringing a feeling of uneasiness and despair. Very few beings have had black gems, and the few that have, had been killed or banished by Notch long ago. Entity303, Null, these are the holders of black gems. Luckily, no one has seen a black gem for decades now. Everyone believes they are extinct. But as you know... A gem can never truly go extinct. For all gems can change. And now a new black gem has arisen, and he calls himself... Herobrine.
Herobrine is a black gem unlike anyone has ever seen, and it's not long before he has 'killed' Notch. But Notch has one last trick up his sleeve, and as his last resort, in his last few seconds of his life, he gives up his white gem, and becomes green. The power of the white gem shatters, and splits into six, the power along with a message falling across the land. Notch in his last moment had bestowed his power upon six people, and now it's up to them to untie, slay Herobrine...
And revive Notch.

(Rest of description in book)
The Time of Reckoning was a drastic disaster that bled upon the world every thousand years when the Dark One awoken. From His prison harbored in the darkest depths of Hell, the Dark One would be unleashed and escape to the Overworld, where he would continue in his goal to conquer it.
The books of legend spoke of a group of heroes, a group consisting of mighty powerful beings gifted by the Creator himself. This group of beings would stand against the Dark One, seizing him in his destruction, veiling his anger and sealing it back into the Underworld so the world above would be at peace once more.
They called them Guardians.
Unfortunately, these powerful beings had mysteriously disappeared five hundred years ago. Now, five hundred years early, the Dark One has awoken once more, intent on destroying the world and spreading the wicked illness of death. The Overworld burns, disease rots and withers away its surface. Its people are slaughtered, stolen away by the hands of death and fear.
A young sorcerer witnesses it all.
Once precious home and family are withered away, this young sorcerer sets out to find these old legends and bring back the world's peace once more.
But on this journey, this sorcerer begins to realize he dug far deeper into something he could have never imagined.
