Unity of the Divided

Once a higher being, now a pawn in a game.

Ellowyn can create, infinitely, in fact the earth you stand on was her doing. But when she got too attached to others with creative abilities, there were consequences.

All because I wiped out a couple bloodlines and disrupted their messed up society. Enslaving those who can create, so the Water, Earth, and Astrology wielders had a constant power supply, was not on. The thanks I get? Now I'm stuck playing queen to the creators and I have to fight the other kingdoms to win them resources.

Sustenance, wealth, knowledge, personal desire; that's what we compete for. Two balls, four trials, and a whole load of stress. Better yet, I get to enjoy it with people I despise.
