A loud thud echoes through the room , they turn to the direction of the sound to see the girls standing at door with Vernon crouched down , face buried in his hands and the guards pointing their weapons at them. “ this is entering quietly?!” Vernon stands up and says to the girls. “ why are these doors so light?!, they have golden knobs, for gods sake” , Lara answers back. The guards move their weapons closer to their faces ,as to threaten them. “ alright, get your shiny weapons away from our faces, we’re with them”, she points at the rest of the people in the room. The guards don’t budge. “ *sigh*, let them in” , a voice orders from the back of the room. “ yes!, your majesty” the guards respond and clear way immediately. “ see , what did I tell you” Lara makes a comment as she passes through the guards .
“Vernon!” ,The dad calls from the other side of the room, Vernon hears him and starts to make his way through, but before he could make it has path is cut , “ oh my moons!, you’re Vernon?!” , he looks up at king Frederic and answers to his question, “yes..”. The minute those words escape his mouth. The king rises his hand and begins to hit his back repeatedly, as to knock the nerves out of him. “ ahahahah , don’t look so nervous boy, I just didn’t recognize you , you’ve grown so much!” , the king crouches down to get a better look at him , squints his eyes to focus on his face and says, “ well damn the stars and moon , he all you cor !, leave something for the other half!” . Cor gives small smile in response. “ I didn’t know you and dad are friends” Vernon says to the king in a bit of shy tone.
“ well I wouldn’t say we’re friends. The bastard doesn’t even send letters”, the king responds looking straight at cor as he says it , then turn back to face Vernon. “ but I guess we kind of were, back when-” before he could continue , his eyes catch glimpse of cor’s face , which the smile that was on it faded and seemed like it had turned into an annoyed expression but he could tell that their was still old longing pain in those eyes. He’s forced to stop , couldn’t possibly continue.
His eyes stray , they explore the room, looking for what could wash away the sudden silence, before they eventually land on - . “ oh, you!” He says as he makes his way to the girls . “ you are the children cor talked about, aren’t you. You’re the miracle!” , “ what?” , is only thing the girls could think to say to that . “ and know that i see you with my own eyes, you truly look out of this world. With the color in your hair,” he points to the front parts of Lara’s hair, as they are colored blonde different from the rest of her brown hair. “ and I could just tell from here, that the material your glasses are made of is different from the one we use here,” he continues, referring to maya and Lara’s glasses, which both are black , mayas one had a gold colored bridge and both were made out of plastic . “ and your attire! It’s truly…different!” . “ will strong talk coming from the guy that looks like he just walked out a musical! , with ahh the hair and the cape and the.. mustache!”, Lara responders. “ will i certainly do enjoy theatrical acts that are accompanied by music. *Ahm, ahm*” . “Please don’t sing, it’s a book their is no point” maya says .
“ oh right , speaking of your appearance , may i see?” The king says, calming down his excited demeanor. He faces Lara directly and points to the shoulder she’s covering with her sleeve. The queen comes closer to take a look as well , Vernon and his dad only a few steps behind her . Lara puts her head on the end of her sleeve. The king itches closer as millions of thoughts go through his head that only can be proven or disproven by what he’s about to see , and that moment his finally-. “no!” Lara shouts ,turning her right arm away.
Shock falling upon their face and instant respond from many , the dad: “Lara!” , the queen: “ you have to cooperate!”. “ we have to see it” the king says still with a calm tone. “No!, I’m not pulling any sleeves before you tell us what’s going on!” ,Lara responds . “We’re going to tell you but you have to show us first” the queen replies . “No!, our end of the deal first” Lara says with determination in her voice, it was obvious to everyone in the room that she was serious and that there is only one way to get what they wanted.
The room exchanges few glances. On luxurious couch the girls were sat , everyone else standing, the king in particular standing right in front of them . He takes a deep breath in, “ get ready to hear the story of this world.”
“ many eons ago , on a blessed day , falls upon this world from the sky above, a meteorite , fast and bright with its light it looked as if a star was falling from the sky. And as it’s making its way down it spilts, shining with light so bright it could burn. From within its core shots two stars, each in the opposite direction and falls rain covering the entire world. The cries of the stars were something unmatched ,it blessed the land and its people with magic . What was once beyond the realm of capabilities for mankind has become possible, and as the falling stars were discovered and its enchanting and powerful magic became clear to the people, it gave them abilities beyond the imaginable . Kingdoms rose and the lands flourished. It was the start of a new era!.
And their it stood three kingdoms in the new era . The crescent kingdom, people of the moon gem. They are powerful and tough. They had abilities to control and summon unbreakable black rocks out of the ground, which they harnessed to build and to fight . their buildings stood high and mighty , they were like no other, beautiful and magnificent yet sturdy and solid. They reached the stars and beyond. Every battle that occurred in the time of the kingdom was glorious . Their armies fighting with a stone-could heart , they were resilient and tough, and with unbreakable weapons in hand , their soldiers had the strength to stop the force that of a falling star.
On the other side of the land stood the kingdom of dawn, people of the sun gem. gracious and merciful they were , they had the ability to manipulate the rays of sunshine to their will. Giving them the capability to heal even the worst of injuries, expanding their lives span. Gardening and farming was their specialty and with the touch of magic ,dawn became the most fruitful kingdom of all. They give to those who didn’t have. Spreading what they can of the light that has been given to them.
The last in the era ,was the most unusual ,it had many differences from rest ,most notably at the head the kingdom of zera, ruled a fairy Zera . they were the people of the rain , and the only kingdom where humans and faes lived in harmony. Slowly the magic of the kingdom began to fade as the effect of the rain weakens , the kingdom finds itself in a crisis as fairy’s pump with magic. In the midst of something that seemed to be beyond their capabilities, Zera looks deep down and realizes the answer was under them all along. The effect of the rain may start to fade from their hands but not from their lands . She digs down to the most raw of her abilities and extracts pure magic out of the soil. Her discovery was revolutionary , it didn’t just save her kingdom and gave the ability for humans of land to sway the elements of the earth . But it opened many more doors and out of them sprouted two more kingdoms.
The kingdom of Aurora , people of the Phoenix ,taught and protected by it . Their precision and flow in fighting was extraordinary . Fast and airy just like a dancing yet precise and deadly , the teachings of the phoenix.
And the kingdom of fatan , its people were specially clever . Incorporating magic in all they could their homes , shops even their food . Which had its positive and negative repercussions. But the world was always moving and changing in their hands.
And their stood five kingdoms in the new era, bringing out what they can to this world and moving it forward together. As time went by and the world flourished and thrived yet with every passing day it dependent more on magic then the previous. To some that evolution, that was innovation . But to others it only made the clock of doom tic faster, maybe to all.
A new kind started appear or maybe they weren’t new at all, people unable to control magic whatsoever, in fact just interacting with it would send they’re body into a shock. The non children of the magic . Life as they know it was a nightmare . Everything was off limits for them, there wasn’t a job they could hold down without magic but what can they do, their entire world was practically built against to them. So in an effort to improve their lives, they did the only thing in their power. They went out and protested on the streets. They demanded change and to be rightfully accommodated for what’s not in their control. But their efforts seemed to be always lost in vain, as the changes they chanted for seemed unfathomable to this world. But giving up wasn’t an option, slowly the protests turned into worldwide riots. The peace of lands has been disturbed . But they weren’t going to stop , there was nothing left for them if they stop.
Then in one dark , eventful night. An altercation occurs between a non child and one the crescent people. The mind wasn’t in the head, as fear held all the strings that night. And with a wave of the hand , rocks are summoned from the ground. Where a usual reaction would be just a step back away from the rocks , the guy stays completely silent not a breath to be heard . As the dust in air unravels, it reveals the guy has turned into a stone .Falling right in front of the other guys face, shattering into a million pieces on the ground.
news of the incident spread quickly and so is the fury between people .After that night, the riots became more destructive then ever, entire cities became trenches and the fire on the streets rose, just like the fire in their aching hearts. The people were outraged and a war was on the line . And no matter how many speeches they give or how big their troops get ,they all knew a war against magic is gonna be the end of them. On the day of, one of the elderly leaders holds out the troops, saying that their may be still one civil solution. On the battlefield where the opposing side stood steady , only elderly women appears and requests of them, a meeting with the all the heads of the kingdoms. Trying to opt for anything but a war they agree.
In a meeting of fate was the elderly women . And before the very eyes of staggering heads, she pleads her case. Life was impossible for people like her here . Just the presence of a magic user was enough for to make their bones throb. And no matter what small changes they may make, the core of the world will stand the same, and the people will always feel imprisoned in it . So she suggests an ultimate solution. A new world. One where they’d be free of the shackles of magic. That sounds insane to some ,other saw it to be unfeasible . Then she states that with the power of the three ,the moon gem, the sun gem, and the blessed rain. That it would be possible to create cleave in the fabric of reality and open up a new realm. Many argued that it was impossible but the magic was all about achieving what’s thought to be beyond the realm of capabilities . In fear of a massacre and no other choice in sight, their ruling was set . A new realm is to be opened.
And truly with the power of the three , a new realm was opened . The people raced and celebrated all the way to it , it was truly something marvelous. As it has come time to close it, the elderly women stands in front of it ,the last left of her kind not enter. She turns to the leaders and warns, this world so strong yet so fragile, take care of it ,as it will only take a gust of wind for it to fall. And with those last words out, she enters, the cleave closing behind her. For the world to never see their kind again. But never was their last words forgotten.
Now stood in the new era , the world as we know it has split into two . where some thought that the world will rise into the light in this time, but just as they were warned, the world falls into greed. Wars , battles many deaths all in the name of becoming the strongest , the one with the most. And as they fought the magic began to wither from underneath their feet . People began to lose their abilities, the life that pumped with magic began to weaken until they were all gone.
And now stood the five kingdoms , all ruled by humans. Fairies cease to exist , people have lost all their power and the last pieces left of pure magic were the two strongest artifacts the sun and moon gem. To avoid anymore distraction and loses their respective kingdoms lock their artifacts away in the highest, most secluded rooms in their castles , never to be seen or used again. But greed always has way to make it back into people’s hearts, no matter how much they gained or lost it'll never be enough. Zera went into war with Crescent kingdom for the gem. Saying that they’re wasting their gift ,that it would be in actual use in zera’s hands. The crescent in retaliation, fought with all their might to protect what belongs to them. Against all their wishes, a fight occurs in the room of the gem , disturbing it . The gem unstable shots in the air , leaving a trail of stones reaching till Dawn. The sun gem files off In the air in direction of her sister. As if the trail was call.
The gems collide beautifully in air with light so bright it could burn before flying into the air , just as magnificent as when it first came. Now the world is only left with the remanence of magic to remind it of what it was once.” .
