Prelude: The formation of Iaheorim (ⁱặᴎᵸɘøʶᵢⱮ)

  ⁱặᴎᵸɘøʶᵢⱮ, also known as Iaheorim was once a war-ridden planet due to the many different beings that migrated to Iaheorim to avoid the ever spreading great plague now commonly known as Ɗếᴁⱦʯ; Death. Which killed 3/4 of Gaia's population.

Gaia was a beautiful planet filled of life, mana, water, earth, air...

But... fortunately, when Death striked Gaia, many already migrated to Iaheorim due to the newly launched Project Ian, which the other 3/4 of Gaia did not partake...

In the 1/4 of remaining populations were the vampires, werewolves, witches, mortals, demigods, angels and demons and hunters.

As Gaia was ran by the demigods as they were direct descendants of the gods, they immediately established themselves as the rulers of Iaheorim

But the others did not agree to decision and wanted their race to be the rulers, which strained the relations of each race...

As the relations kept straining over the years, the taut strings that balanced the war on it's shoulders, which many known as the Ian's Great War (Íⱥᴝᶊ ǥᶉᶕᵅȶ ŵⱥŕ) finally snapped after the queen of the demigods was seduced by a Succubus, which is part of the vampires at that point of time) and they ran away to the Vampires. 

The King of demigods immediately was angered and declared war on the vampires. 

Which broke the last few threads and war broke out, the races that were once allies becoming enemies and many friendships were broken... 

After a decade of bloodshed, a saving grace descended upon Iaheorim, the part-angel, part-mage Ian Zelikow gathered allies throughout the races and lead the rebellion into the war.

An amazing feat of winning the war only with a size of 100000 compared to the combined forces of 12 times more compared to them... 

Ian was a well-known strategist and was always accompanied by his loyal friend Simon Tinkham who was a skilled mortal knight and never left each other's sides ever since coming to Iaheorim.

During the last battle, known as The Battle of Hope; the rebellion charged in, the rebel soldiers willing to put their lives on the line to give their next generation a better future without war, a world of peace and harmony.

It ended with the least casualties throughout the war, many surrendering to the rebels within a few hours after witnessing the rebel's determination and power that they possessed when each race work together.

When the war ended, the two were last seen on the hill now known as Sian Hill, named after the two to commemorate their success and also the fact that they did not appear during the celebration, and therefore since were not seen afterwards...

Due to the planet finally being peaceful, the races all unanimously decided to name the planet after Ian, which birthed to the planet Iaheorim.

"Sister Cynthia? What do you think happened to Ian and Simon?" A boy asked, as I looked away from the book and smiled at him: "Hmm... I don't know... Maybe they might be living happily ever after." I closed shut my book, looking up at the blue azure skies longingly, thinking of what they might be doing now... 

I wonder if I can be like Ian... have a friend foreve-

"Cynthia~" An annoying voice called, as I felt a spreading pain blossoming from my cheeks: "AHHHH! Stop it! How did you find me!?" I flailed as I saw a glimmer of white from the corner of my eyes, and immediately felt my eyes slit: "SETH! Let me go!" 

"Just let her go for Ian's sake..." Oscar groaned, his crimson hair messed up and having some leaves and twigs inside for some reason... 

Such great friends you have... Cherish them...

I blinked, frantically looking around to find whose voice it was. 

To only find a platinum blond cat with human-like crimson eyes staring at me: "What's wrong?" Seth stopped, looking at where I was once looking at. 

"There's nothing there." He flicked my forehead as I winced and cursed: "Idiot. It's nothing." I sighed.

Why do those eyes look so familiar? 

.~.

Hecate. 

A purple wavy haired woman with long hair and crimson eyes looked up after hearing the voice: "Ian..." She crossed her arms: "What are you doing back here?" 

Why can't I? 

"You do know the risk you're putting Cynthia in right?" She stomped over to the cat, shaking her head in disapproval. 

... I understand 

The cat hopped onto the window that was open, looking back at the woman. 

Please, take care of Cynthia for me and Simon...

"HEY! Wait! We're not done yet Ian!" The woman called, the cat already gone before she could say anything.

"That idiot of a father..."
