Chapter : Chapter 0: Prologue
For eons there was nothing.
The universe: a blank canvas.
Until the Chyros(K-eye-rus) arose.
They are powerful beings, each unique in their own way. Some bore faces similar to ours, some were monstrous, and others were pure elegance.
Seeing the vast emptiness, the Chyros sought to create.
They started by painting the void of space, then to light the darkness that consumed it, they forged the bright burning stars. They were thrilled with their creation but felt as if something was missing.
Residents.
The Chyros shaped the planets to house their newest creation: mortal life.
Out of the twelve trillion attempts at life, only one planet successfully nurtured it.
The Chyros called this planet Earth for its beautiful resemblance to REDACTED
After REDACTED years, humans started appearing across Earth. The Chyros were thrilled to finally have someone to share their world with.
The Chyros guided the evolution of humans showing them the wonders Earth had to offer, even teaching them the ways of their magic in hopes that one day their creations could surpass them.
Unfortunately for the Chyros, not all humans shared their love for creation. A group of humans grew to rival their power but with control as a priority.
This group of humans attacked the Chyros, and their battle tarnished the planet, causing the six continents of Earth to each have a uniquely harsh elemental condition: heat that can melt steel, rain that falls like bullets, wind that fears no structure, REDACTED, lightning bolts that pierce mountains and a wasteland so barren not a blade of grass can grow. Each of these elemental factors is never-ending and as ruthless as the last
This exchange that caused these scars on Earth is known as the War for Creation.
By the end of the war, the group of humans had triumphed and had used their power to trap the Chyros in another realm where they remain today, all while the fate of those powerful humans remains unknown.
Hundreds of years after the Chyros were forgotten, The United World Organization (UWO), the overseeing government that vowed to govern and protect the people of Earth, rediscovered the Chyros, and communicated with them, regaining some of their trust in humans.
The Chyros were reluctant but they agreed to bless humans with magic in hopes of finding the person who would undo the chaos caused to both sides for the Chyros were still trapped.
However, now because of the Chyros' wavering trust in humans, they agreed to bless humans with magic only through special examinations called blessing ceremonies held by the UWO, where the Chyros can examine and decide their worth.
People who are blessed with Magic in this current age are known as Mages.
The power granted to a Mage is their own, and as long as they will it, that power won't ever fail them.
