Elements from Beyond the Forest

Once upon a time, there was a land home to four different kingdoms. In the west, all green and full of nature's wonder, was Thuzar. In the north, Drusite, home of all lakes and waterfalls. In the east was no other than Detreathen that is always windy, and lastly, the scorching hot Texaba in the south.

There once was peace among the four kingdoms. The royal families in each one were in control of a unique ability to keep harmony amongst the land. King and Queen Smythe from the kingdom of Thuzar, with the ability of nature, was more of an agricultural kingdom and helped provide food. From Drusite, the Linden family had the ability of water. They helped purify the ocean water for cooking and drinking and kept oceanic creatures from invading the land.

The Baine family from Detreathen had the ability of the air. They could manipulate the air around them, where they could be able to fly, and it caused Detreathen to be a good first line of defense in case of war since the weapon of air is invisible. Lastly, the kingdom of Texaba, ruled by the Appleton family. They had the ability of fire, which helped keep the land warm in the cold, and provided a hearth for cooking.

In the center of these four kingdoms, was a vast forest. Although beautiful, the forest was very eerie and was home to the evil Rukix. The Rukix, skeletal creatures with rough, bumpy ram horns atop their heads. They have been the main source to the problems within the four kingdoms, and cause chaos and ruin wherever they went.

Our story begins on the outskirts of the forest, in the beautiful kingdom of Thuzar, where a young Princess named Sylvia is quietly talking to her father, the King, and petting one of her many furry animal friends.
