The War Of Roses: Aurora

Creation

  ...There was a time when no one existed. Everything was dark and cold. Nothing lived, yet nothing died. Everything that would come to exist was in a bubble guarded by Time and Space. Clouds began to form in this bubble, and it made the bubble cracked a little. Time passed and the bubble could only crack more and more as the things being made couldn't fit. Then a small spark created in the clouds ignited. Thus, the first day began.

  The bubble exploded and all of its contents spilled forth, creating the universe. All of the gases made the elements, and all the elements made the things that exist. With little time left, Time and Space breathed life to the main elements of creation, making them deities. Thus, the second day began.

  Satisfied with their creations, these deities were tasked to care for their respective elements. Fire to fire, dust to dust. So on and so forth. Time and Space then took their place as overseers of their universe, ever to remain neutral until their children seek their guidance once more. Thus, the third day began.

  With their children now looking over their playground, they attempted to create the stars and celestial bodies. With their raw power out of control, they created celestial bodies too unstable to hold any life. To contain their power, until they had greater control, the deities made bodies capable of holding their overflowing power. Thus, the fourth day began.

  With a new form that could control the overflowing power they had to their possession, they called their essence a "soul". They called their form holding their "soul" a "body". With their new vessels created, the deities named themselves according to the element they controlled. Thus, the fifth day began.

  Fire was named Ignis. Water was named Aqua. Air was​ named Caeli. Earth was named Terra. Energy was named Vis. Ice was named Glacis. Light was named Lumen. Darkness was named Umbra. Thus, the sixth day began.

  After the establishment of names, the deities worked to make life among their creations, the planets. The creation of wildlife began. All walks of life were made. All creatures lived. All creatures were made according to the deities elemental wishes. As the last of the creations were made, the final creation of the deities was heavily debated. As a compromise, the final creation had a little bit of the deities attributes. The fire, water, air, earth, energy, ice, light, and darkness of the deities created the final creation: humanity. Thus, the seventh day began.

  Humanity was created in a pair. They were to live and coexist with the rest of the creations of the deities. Humanity expanded its lineage. Humanity aged. Humanity had order. Humanity fell into chaos. There was life and death. There​ was order and chaos. And so, the deity of Life was named Anima. The deity of Death was named Decessus. The deity of order was named Azarael. The deity of chaos was named Araphael. With their final creations made, the deities rested and became overseers of their creations. Humanity, seeking answers, looked above. The deities answered. The deities, in the eyes of their creations, were gods. And so the deities took the​ title of gods. With their works completed, they rested and became overseers. They looked down to their worlds and were satisfied with their works. And so the seventh day ended.

  And so the gods had temples and believers. With time passing, many turned to their worlds. They saw the blessings, bestowed by their deities so long ago, give fruit.

  The land was fertile, so it had given way to a great harvest. The water was pure, so there was plenty to drink. There was plenty of game, so there were great hunts. But all this was brought forth through the power of mana, the greatest treasure made by the gods.

  After discovering mana, humanity used it to greatly improve their lives. No longer did they gaze to the stars for answers. Because through their  thought, they believed they controlled and dominated all. Self manifestation through the gain of  power was the greatest weapon humanity had earned so far.

  Sadly humanity discovered a deadly tie to this power. By using mana, they disrupted the natural flow of power nature had established. With this imbalance, demons spawned from the ground and the shadows of the night. Humanity had little room to properly prepare. So the deities descended from their places and defended humanity.

  Under the deities teachings, humanity survived, thrived, and established order again amidst the war waged with demon kind. Rulers and families rose above the rest and brought forth strong armies. But, this was just futile works in comparison to the demon army. As the war dragged on, many lost their lives and saw the war as a lost cause. Seeing the destruction and massacre of the innocent, many demons sided with humanity and became Fiends. With the loss of powerful demons siding with gods and humanity, it only became a matter of time before the demon army surrendered to the forces of humanity.

  A day after surrendering, demons compromised with humanity in the island of Saika.

  Demons and humanity compromised under the guidance of their gods. As they continued to tolerate and understand each other's kind, the slow integration between demons and humanity occurred. After many generations, the demons and humans began to have children. Those born of this bond became known as hybrids.

  After so long, hybrids became a majority. They became the protectors, the guardians of their homelands. After the many governments were in place, a group of protectors needed to be established again. The ruling crowns at the time established that all "guardians" become knights of the royal guard for each kingdom. This soon lead to rivalry that was solved with the establishment of The Guardian Order.

  Originally meant to serve the royal crowns, the Guardian Order later expanded to serve and protect the weak and marginalized from danger. By expanding to train at the earliest time for magic to occur in an individual, the Guardian Order created their branches of schools across nations. After these schools were established, many more guardians were made. Many were now equiped to protect. Many were now powerful enough to defend...
