 Long ago, when humanity was created, a few people had the ability to control 1 specific element. There were too many elements that they couldn't mostly name them all but they were each placed together by what they controlled and formed guilds. However, they weren't liked by humans, so they all left to form a home far away from them as to not cause any trouble for either side. Years passed and in a family, 4 children were born; these were the first members of the strongest guilds to ever be formed.

 The first child was of pure light, so pure that people would believe it was peace and happiness itself. This child was known and had become the first Somebody as she was always noticed because of her kindness.

 The second child could control darkness, however, this type was of emotions for they don't mean any harm. This child tends to always push people away and act cold, but in reality, he was nice. The reason for his actions is to see who would become his friend for who he is and not by what he has or can do. For that reason, he became the first Nobody, because he test people through hard times and then shows them it's alright to be weak. The Somebodies eventually take over from there.

 The third child was between light and dark, but the dark seems to always give the child a hard time to control. This child always faces problems and never seems to have a small rest, yet, they always push forward no matter how difficult a situation could be. This lead the child to become the first Forgotten because though she suffer, she always try to overcome it.

 The fourth child was between light and dark as well, only, the dark never affected them, almost as if was never there. This child could not only heal but create many things. This lead to her becoming the first Dawner because of her incredible healing abilities and creations.

 Despite these differences, the one thing they all had in common was the ability to control every single element in existence. Though, much like the other who only controlled one element; they had to train to be able to manipulate it. Everyone lived happily with each other, even if they had different abilities, but things didn't last forever.

 Dark, pure evil beings who were called darklings always came to bring misery to all the guilds in the village and to humanity. Unlike the Nobodies, these darklings were of pure evilness, so much that it sickened the Nobodies to no end.

 How evil were the darklings?

 Very evil. They had no heart, no soul, no mercy. They would kill for fun, torture for no reason, and hurt the innocent. Their hearts were colder than the coldest place in the universe and when you look into their eyes, there was nothing but pure evilness that will give you nightmares to no end.

 The four children took noticed of this and got tired of what the darklings did. So they reunited all the guilds and trained together to defeat the Darklings. Days passed by with the endless training, but the day came when they were ready. A few humans joined them as well and each guild helped them improve on their battle strategies and even lended their own weapons.

 The day of the attack was a fierce one, fire, ice, lightning and many other elements were shot in every direction. Many had fallen on both sides, but they continued fighting, neither wanting to lose. But the guilds and humans had a stronger reason to win and with their determination, allowed them to start winning.

 The leader of the Darklings noticed this and ran away to save himself, but no one was surprised he did that. Though, three of the four children went after him, determined to not let him escape. They chased him around, directing him to where he could no longer escape. By the time they cornered him, every other darkling was killed with the help of the child who didn't go after the Darkling. All the remaining humans and guild members surrounded the last Darkling with the 3 three children that chased him in front. The last child was being held up by her fellow guild friends as she had gotten hurt.

 In a fit of rage, the darkling started casting a curse and directed it to the 3 children in front of him, but the fourth child, who was injured, pulled away from those who were holding her up and stepped in front of the other 3 children; accepting the curse. This child, was the Forgotten. But because she was weak and tired, she fell to the ground in pain as her brother and sisters surrounded her with worry.

 Angered by what the Darkling did; the Nobody shot forward and stabbed the darkling into its already stone cold heart. However, the Nobody made it to where the darkling will have a slow painful death. Though in pain and dying, the darkling chuckled at the Forgotten's actions and said:

 Every Forgotten will be curse

Thought it's different in a few ways,

There are things that will be the same.

No matter how strong you get,

You will never be strong enough to protect those you love.

Everyone you befriend will eventually be lost.

Your life would repeat over and over again

And you shall never find peace

Because the curse I have put on you

Has no cure.

 With those final words, the darkling died. But his last words had everyone in worry for the now cursed Forgotten. Not a few months later, the Forgotten died protecting her family. Since then, every Forgotten borned shared the same faith at the first Forgotten. They would be lucky to even reach 8 years of age.

 Years passed, then a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, a million and so on. In those years, Forgottens have managed to live a little longer than at the beginning but their curse was never removed. They have also isolated themselves from everyone who wasn't a Forgotten or a Nobody but they still protected everyone, even if they didn't know them or didn't get along.

 All the guilds hid from humanity and after years, humans think they are nothing more than stories that are now considered myths. Yet, they live among humans but hide their abilities.

 What no one knew, was that the darklings were planning on rising again, just like they did million of years ago. The only ones to stop them are the descendants of the very ones who defeated them during the darklings first rise. Should they fail to do so; the world could come to it's end with no hope of saving.
