(OT) -- Time Scar, Chapter 1 Genesis (Chapter 1 Complete)

[RX-78-2]

Well here I am in a new forum, think of this as a hello. I am aware that mostly Rockman EXE fan fiction can be found here but with the wonderful writers here I thought it would be nice for them to take a look at my work. Mind you it is still a work in progress, but everyday or so I will add to it. With that said I move on.

This story is my child, I have been working on it ever since I was little. So many years have gone into it and now I begin to place the final touches on it.

For the next few days I will post a short version of the first saga called Genesis. Then continue on with the main bulk of the story. Hopfully you will enjoy reading it just as much as I enjoy working on it. So please if you have something to say about it bad or good please do so. With that said I post the first part of Saga 1: Genesis.

Time Scar: Genesis

Just as all things must come to an end, they first must have a beginning. Our universe is vast; many different worlds float within this black space, each with their own stories to tell. Each filled with many different possibilities. However all worlds share a common birthplace, all life itself shares this birth. In the end all will come to rest here and if possible begin anew as well.

Oh dear where are my manners, allow me to introduce myself to you. I am the Keeper of Stories, Lord Astar. It is my job to record and document the events that happen in all realms, it is not a very easy job but it keeps me happy. In my profession, you meet many different people and hear a wide array of stories from a small family gathering, to battles that wage on for years and even stories about the future and the world that lies beyond tomorrow. Today however as I write in this very book, I will tell of the events that brought our very lives into existence, I will tell you of the birthplace of universal life, the crossroads that all realms must pass through, the world named Celestia.

In the beginning there was nothing, a black nothingness where even darkness did not exist. Within this nothingness a power that would soon flare and bring about the creation of all things was starting to manifest. How did it happen, I do not know it is as if something wanted to just exist. From within this nothingness three sprites came into being. They had no clear form, no consciousness; they were able to find a way to draw themselves into this world, however they were created for some unknown purpose. With no true purpose in life some sort of primal instinct drove these sprites, after their “birth” the sprites began to attack one another. These sprites were manifestations of pure energy, the first being the sprite of divine energy, the second being the sprite of chaotic energy, and the last being the sprite of natural energy. Each passing moment since they were brought into being they did nothing but battle each other. The first day, Divine and Chaotic battled, then the winner would battle Natural. It is unknown how long this happened, but for these “creatures” it would be only a small fragment of time. During these battles however the sprites began to feel something within them, as each battle passed they began to develop and grow. Soon instinct became thought, and from thought grew consciousness, and soon they found that they had grown into real beings. Now it was during a battle between Divine and Chaotic that Natural had and idea, what if the winner of the last battle and the one waiting to battle attacked the loser of the battle previously fought. There was a brief moment during the battle where the two sprites broke free from their struggle, and it was then that Natural saw his chance. Taking Chaotic to the side he told him of his plan, Chaotic agreed with it telling Natural to attack Divine when the moment was right. The battle had begun again, however during a critical moment when both Chaotic and Divine where entangled within each others energies Natural saw his moment and attack, with the power of the three energies combined a massive wave of energy forced the three of them to become one. Soon this wave of energy began to spread across the nothingness, massive bursts of energy caused matter and other particles to come into being. The energy of the three was carried throughout the nothingness creating substance. The energy collided and divided. The power that was once three had become one, and in some areas it would divide becoming more then just the original three energy. Within the center of this massive energy wave was a swirling vortex of power, in the dead center where the three sprites had battled. However soon there was a massive explosion from within the vortex and soon it was over. In the end the three sprites where no more, in their place they had created a vast plain of existence which continued to move farther and farther into the nothingness.

The vortex where within the three sprites had merged still swirled within the center of this new universe, from with the vortex’s center a massive sphere of energy began to take shape. Surrounding this energy sphere was six winged begins. Holding this energy sphere in place, they looked on as the seventh and final winged being rose from within the sphere. The seventh points to one of the angels, calling it The First then moving on to the one that stood beside he spoke again this time giving the angel the name of The Second. Moving to the rest this seventh being gave them all names, calling each one out aloud, The Third, The Fourth, The Fifth, and The Sixth naming them all this seventh being took command over the others. Moving from a top the sphere of energy the being only known as The Seventh moved to the right hand side of The First. Placing a hand on The First’s shoulder, he guides him into the sphere of energy. Passing through the sphere the energy erupts into flame, now endowed with the power of flame The First was given the title of The Angel of Fire. Gesturing to The Second he guides another through the sphere, the sphere still burning soon began to spit out large molten rocks that grew as The Second passed. Now endowed with the power of earth, The Second takes the title of The Angel of Earth. Taking the next two The Third and The Fourth, The Seventh leads them into the sphere of living rock. As the pass, the magma solidifies as large plumes of smoke and ash cover the sphere. From these black clouds of smoke, a rumble can be heard as rain begins to fall onto the sphere. As the rain pours, years pass by in a matter of seconds. As the sphere begins to breathe it no longer is a mere sphere of light, but now a young planet. The Third endowed with the power of water becomes The Angel of Water, The Fourth now surging with the power of Wind gains the title of The Angel of Wind.

The final two remain, The Fifth and The Sixth awaiting the command of The Seventh. The Seventh steps towards the two of them and places a hand on their foreheads. The two are given the power of light and shadow becoming the final two angels of legend. The Fifth gains the power of light and is given the title of The Angel Of Light; The Sixth the power of shadow coursing through becomes The Angel of Shadow. The Seventh then taking the hands of The Angels of Light and Shadow places them on the planet. Then returning to the top of the planet, The Seventh places a hand upon its surface. The power of these three flows into the little planet. Soon life on the planet begins to take form. As this new life begins to flourish, The Six Angels take their place as guardians of this new world as The Seventh vanishes. And so Celestia takes form within the birthplace of the universe.

More will be added soon, so feel free to post any thoughts on the opening.

Taking the task of watching over this new world, The Six divide the world into six separate countries. Each angel taking one of the countries chooses a human that will lead, the placing that human as the figurehead the angels move towards the Heavenly Realm another realm that lies in the skies above Celestia where they watch over the world keeping it safe from outside dangers. The six countries, Pyrus, Tite, Aquirus, Windom, Lumin, and Arkuns take the role of tending to the planet and their winged protectors form time to time come down from their heavenly plane and teach the humans the necessary knowledge that they need to survive. The Six soon discover that they are not the only angels that were created during the Battle Of Existence. Other angels soon appear and settle within the Heavenly realm, some however took up residence on Celestia with the humans. This harmonious state between the angels and the first humans would not last long however, much like the power that formed existence all life carried with it the three separate forms of energy. Divine, Natural, and Chaotic these powers were the basis of all life energy in the universe. The Angels within them carried mostly the power of the Divine and the Chaotic, with only a fraction of Natural energy to help keep the balance. Humans and most animal life on Celestia were born mostly with Natural energy being the highest concentration. However it was soon discovered that some humans and animals were born with high amounts of chaotic and divine energy, these beings would be driven mad and some would mutate into horrible creatures. Some found ways of controlling this power but they too would soon succumb to this power.

The Six, and the other angels that lied within the Heavenly Realm soon discovered the reason for this; the angels that lived on Celestia were causing a disturbance in the natural distrubtion of life energy. The Six then decide that something must be done, they do not have the power necessary to heal those afflicted but they did have a solution to this problem. Coming down to earth from the heavens, they took the other angels from both sides and created the Celestial Order. All of the angels and selected humans were part of The Order; their task was to train others to help them gain knowledge of their newfound power and how to properly wield it. As they trained these afflicted beings they soon discovered markings that were placed upon them. Much like the markings found on the bodies of The Six, it was a symbol of the power they were able to summon and wield. From that day forward, beings who are born or develop these strange markings and powers were named Elementals. The humans that became terrible monsters however were unable to be helped; in fact they actually lashed out at The Order calling them their enemies. On further study it was found that the Elementals not only carried Natural energy, but high amounts of Divine energy as well. The monsters however were found to have high concentrations of Chaotic energy, which fed off the natural energy found common in normal humans and animals. The Chaotic energy in their bodies and souls would soon transform the afflicted creature into a terrible beast; these beasts would later known as Chaos Beasts.

The Order was given the task of finding these Chaos Beasts and dealing with them as best they could. More and more were found as The Order spread across the world searching for a way to stop them. Finding nothing but dead bodies and more questions The Six were at a loss, their troubles however were about to get much more serious. About a half a year from the day that the Chaos Hunt began a new form of Chaos Beast was found. The natural energy in their bodies gone, the very soul of the creature eaten away these specter like creatures had the power to spread the Chaotic energy and create more and more Chaos Beasts. Known for eating the bodies and souls of the living these creatures were given the name Chaos Reaper, no longer fueled on the power of Chaotic energy these beasts were driven by a new power, human greed. Ever since The Order was formed, some humans saw themselves as stronger then others. This idea soon grew into the idea that one town was stronger then the next and then developed into what country was stronger then the next. Some humans became obsessed with power, and wanted more of it. This greed allowed the Chaotic energy to grow into a power evil energy, simply called Demon energy. This new power was so grand that some of the angels with The Order fell to it, transforming into Demons. Other more powerful angels found a way to control this Demon Energy and became Black Angels, however they were no longer happy being under the command of The Six nor were they happy being the humans ally. One Black Angel in particular known as the first of the Black Angels called The Rebel Angel in many legends took many angels with him and declared war. The Rebel was jealous of both the humans and The Six, and wanted nothing more then their destruction so that he alone could rule over Celestia and soon the whole universe. It was then that the Chaos Hunt became, the Black War.

[RX-78-2]

There are many stories about The Black War, many different accounts of what happened during those frightful days. The first days of combat gave Celestia its first taste of a true war, the first war. The armies under the command of The Rebel were merciless. Many humans infected by Chaotic energy joined with The Rebel and his Demon army to avoid destruction. The Rebel gave humans a taste of true evil, exploiting the darkness that lied within the hearts of men and women. During the battle of Arkuns that lasted seven long days, he rounded up all of the women and children and forced the few survivors and prisoners to slaughter them in exchange for their own lives. Many refused and were killed on the spot; those that agreed to these terms were killed moments later. It was survival of the fittest, not one person could be spared from The Rebel and his dark army. The Six and The Celestial Order were overwhelmed, not one soul could stand against his power. Then during a crucial battle at the walls of the Temple of Light found in Lumin, a massive island appeared in the ocean. In the very center of the ocean between the six countries lied a mysterious island. The Order headed towards this land, as it was the only place where they could seek refuge from the coming darkness. There was no hope for them, they would remain here and await their destruction. It was then that a young warrior angel by the name of Cryux took up his sword; he was quite the hero during the war. An incredibly strong solder he had an iron will and it was he who refused to give up. Many had died defending this world and he wanted to give their spirits rest, knowing that he lacked the power that The Six had he still did not want to give up. It was this will, this brave spirit that gave The Order the motivation, the push it needed to go on. It was on this very island, where Cryux took up his blade and called to the heavens, “I shall not fail!” These words did not fall on deaf ears, just as the battle was about to begin an angel bathed in light stood between the two armies. The Six, and the remaining legions of angels bowed when they saw this sight. The Seventh, the one who gave The Six their power had returned. Walking towards Cryux, he placed his hand on the shoulder of the brave hero. Whispering a few words into his ear, the light passed from The Seventh, to Cryux. Holding his blade towards the sky as The Seventh vanished into nothingness Cryux accepted this power, becoming the strongest of the angels. It was then that the legendary hero, and the first of the holy bloodline was truly awakened. Lord Cryux stood in defiance as he looked into the eyes of The Rebel. With sword in hand, he let out a cry that thundered through the heavens. The battle between Cryux and The Rebel lasted for seven days. With the very power of life flowing through his veins, Cryux called upon the seventh and final of the elemental powers and with that act he sealed The Rebel and his Demons into the Chaotic Realm. A realm created from the Chaotic energy, this realm was void of all life. It would be in that dark, lifeless place that The Rebel and his dark forces would spend the last of their days. With the evil armies gone, The Black War was over.

Time passed as time always does, peace slowly drifted back across the fields and plains of Celestia. Lord Cryux, unlike the other angels found that this peace on Celestia could only last for so long the counties while quiet could still lash out and attack each other. The people needed better guidance, and Lord Cryux knew just what needed to be done. Gathering with the leaders of the countries he created a system of laws that all were to abide by, and untied the countries and kingdoms under one banner. It was unknown at the time who would lead this new Kingdom Of Celestia, but the people knew that their king had to be none other then Lord Cryux. While living amongst the humans, Cryux soon found himself lonely. While others of his kind could still be found on Celestia many returned to the Heavenly Realm including The Six. He was alone, that it until he met a young woman. Sheirra was her name, a woman who had nothing left after The Black War she too was alone. Seeing that their two hearts were destined for each other Cryux took Sheirra as his bride and together as king and queen they brought about the Golden Era. During this peaceful time, Sheirra had given birth to a baby boy who was given the name Lucas. Cryux saw the potential that his son had and knew that he was destined for greatness. No one knew what fate really had planned for young Lucas.

The Golden Era would not last however; the seal placed on the Chaotic Realm was weakening. The Rebel and his forces were growing in strength on the other side of the sealed gate. It seems that the long years spent within this lifeless realm had changed these beasts even more; the Demon energy had fused the black-hearted humans with the demons and The Black Angels. A new more powerful race was born, The Ominus. Using the full power of the angel race, and the true power that lied within the human soul a new elemental energy was created. The Ominus, with their new leader The Angel of Darkness were out for revenge against Lord Cryux and The Celestial Order. Taking the newly named island of Azumon, the capital of The Kingdom Of Celestia and the place of the final battle of The Black War, The Angel of Darkness killed Sheirra, and ripped the wings Cryux leaving him for dead. This new angel-human hybrid demon race simply walked over the forces of Celestia; it was The Black War all over again. Cryux feared that all he had fought for would be lost, and then he remembered that there was one who could possibly stop The Ominus, Lucas. Taking his blade, Cryux knew he was not long for this world with Lucas at his side they retreated to the Heavenly Realm to seek help for The Six. The Order knew that they had to intervene, but they also knew that they were no match for The Ominus. Cryux pleaded his case, and soon enough The Order began their counter-attack. While The Order battled against The Ominus, Cryux was making sure that Lucas had everything he needed for when it came time for him to enter the fray as well. Taking his blade Cryux pierced his skin, and then passing a sword to Lucas he asked that he took draw blood. Cryux then took the blood stained blades, and melting them down he created a new sword for Lucas. The Blade Of Cryux, the holy sword told of in legends in modern day Celestia was created on that day. With this final gift, Cryux passed on not only this new weapon but also the power that was one entrusted to him. Lucas taking this new blade, and his fathers final thoughts returned to Celestia reborn. Much like The Ominus, Lucas is born of a human mother and an angel father thus he too is like them. However he was not given the title of Ominus, no his allies and comrades called him Lucas Cryux the Angelic. Knowing of the existence of other humans much like himself Lucas gathered many of these new “Angelic” and with The Order at his side prepared to end this war once and for all.

[RX-78-2]

The Angelic the children of the angels, ever since the creation of Celestia it was inhabited mainly by humans, animals, and the few angels who decided to live amongst the people of Celestia. The angels that lived on Celestia did so because of their love towards the humans. It was this love between some humans and small tribes of angels that lived on earth that created many of the unknown Angelic. Born with both the energies of a human and of an angel many of this new race counting on where they were born would change both physically and spiritually. The Six still did have influence within the countries that they protected, and it was this influence this power that changed the first Angelic into the many different races found in modern day Celestia. However the major changes that these first Angelic would go through would not occur until after the battle between Lucas and The Ominus. I will explain more once I complete the entry on Lucas’ battle.

With this new blood flowing through their ranks, Lucas and The Order were more then ready for battle. Standing at his side where the strongest of these new “Angelics”, each coming from one of Celestia’s countries they each exhibited power far beyond those found in ordinary humans, but their power rivaled that found within high ranking Elementals and even some of the lower Angel ranks could not even come close. It was this power that allowed Lucas and his men to slowly drive back the forces of The Ominus, however while they were doing significant damage to their forces Lucas knew that the only way to stop them was to kill The Angel of Darkness and close the Chaotic Realm forever. Taking only the strongest of his men, Lucas headed towards the island of Azumon his homeland. When they arrived on the island of Azumon they found nothing more then a wasteland, bodies strewn about everywhere. A true hell on earth this place had become, the blood stained soil of a once thriving beautiful kingdom is all that was left of Lucas’ family, of his heritage. He wanted revenge for what had happened, his blood boiled with rage. He was not alone though, his sword as well cried for the blood of The Angel of Darkness. Lucas together with his comrades, the sons and daughters of the angels who did all they could to protect this land stormed Cryux Castle. Anything that stood in the way of Lucas and his revenge were destroyed in an instant, his power not fueled by a kind heart like his father, but a cruel haltered. They arrived in the throne room, there sitting on Lord Cryux’s throne was The Angel of Darkness. Rising from his seat he did nothing but mock the humans and angels for their foolishness, to him they were nothing but weak fools who had no idea what true power was. He and his chosen race would take this universe and show it the true nature, the true goal of creation. His voice however could not be heard by Lucas, the gaze of the young warrior was not focused on this twisted demon god, his eyes could not see this vision of horror The Angel of Darkness was seeking to bring. Young Lucas could do nothing but stare at the body of his mother, lying a top the torn wings of his now death father. His heart cried out in anguish, his sword cried out for blood. His eyes now filled with tears, he looked into the face of his father’s killer and without a second’s notice he attacked. The others moved to join Lucas, but would not have them take away the one thing that gave him purpose. He did not care what would happen to the planet, the universe was nothing more then a passing gaze. All he wanted was to pierce the heart of The Angel of Darkness, all he wanted as revenge. The warriors that stood beside Lucas could do nothing but watch as he fought, they watched as the Angel of Darkness overpowered him at every moment he could. Lucas was no match for this demon, and they knew it. As the battle continued, more and more of The Ominus moved towards the castle. They had the will to fight, but after the countless battles they were worn out and very fatigued. If Lucas is unable to find a way to channel his power, his true power then all would be lost. Then, as the forces of The Ominus grew closer and closer The Six had decided to lend their strength much like The Seventh did that fateful day long ago. Passing their strength to six of the strongest angelics, they created the Six Holy Guardians; Seadra the Goddess of Water, Vulcan the King of Flame, Tempest the Wind Rider, Areth The Warrior of the Earth, Bane The Shadow Beast, and finally Phoenix the Swordsman of Light. With their combined might they are able to drive out the forces of The Ominus giving Lucas more time. With Phoenix taking the lead, the Guardians take the battle with The Ominus outside of the castle gates. Soon the entire island of Azumon became a massive battlefield, with the key battle taking place deep within the castle walls.

[RX-78-2]

The Angel of Darkness stood over Lucas, with no weapon and using only his brute strength The Angel of Darkness was able to best Lucas at every turn. Lucas however was not ready to give up, holding The Cryux Blade tightly in his hands he continues his assault. With a loud cry Lucas thrusts his blade towards The Angel of Darkness, however the speed of this demon is far beyond anything Lucas had ever faced. The blade drives into the wall of the castle; The Angel of Darkness now behind Lucas takes hold of him. His long black fingers rap around Lucas’ neck, with a flick of his wrist he could break him. Right here he could destroy the one thing that has the power to stop him, however the demon wants him to suffer more. Spreading his black wings he takes flight, with Lucas still held in his grasp he takes the young warrior to the top of the castle, to the top of the highest tower. Standing on the very tip his dark figure caught in the moonlight casts a black shadow over the battlefield. The Guardians, The Omimus, every last being taking part in this battle looks to see the black silhouette of The Angel of Darkness holding tightly in his grasp the one man foolish enough to stand in his way. The Guardians drop their weapons, as do their allies, seeing the power that this demon king had they knew that there was nothing they could do. The Angel of Darkness releases his grip on Lucas’ neck, everyone watches as his body begins to fall but is stopped. Blood runs down the side of the tower as Lucas is being held one more by demonic beast. His black hand driven through Lucas’ body, The Angel of Darkness laughs as Lucas begins to pass into the land of the dead. Dropping Lucas’ body he watches as it hit the roof of the castle with a loud thud, victory was his at last; at least that is what he thought. It was then that a miracle occurred, Lucas stood up. Covered in blood and badly beaten the warrior stood once more, however he was changed. Holding up his hand, Lucas called for his blade to return to his hand. The Cryux Blade came to life, flying into the air the blade returned to its master. Then looking to the sky, Lucas suddenly became bathed in light.

From birth Angelic while possessing great strength from the angel blood in their bodies are born wingless and unable to use magic and abilities that relied mostly on large levels of Divine energy. Lucas however carries within him the blood of the most power angel that had ever existed; he was able to tap into a powerful energy the same energy that was used by The Seventh long ago to create this world and many others. The Angel of Darkness feeding off the power of death and destruction now had to face the power of existence itself, Lucas calling on the power of the seventh element, the unifying element, the element known as Spirit. As this new power flowed into his body Lucas slowly began to rise, growing from his back two white wings. Taking on a new form, Lucas now had the power needed to battle against The Angel of Darkness. With the battlefield now even, Lucas The Angel of Spirit and The Angel of Darkness take to the skies. Striking at Lucas with his claw like fingers, The Angel of Darkness cuts into Lucas’ flesh once again however as he draws blood from the newly awakened warrior he feels a burning pain from his shoulder. Turing to see why it pained him so he finds that Lucas’ blade has pierced his left shoulder; grabbing the blade he rips the sword out from his body his black blood now running down his arm. The Angel of Darkness holding Lucas’ blade in his right hand he tries to pull the blade out of Lucas’ hand, Lucas however takes hold of the monster’s right arm and applying a considerate amount of strength breaks the hold the beast has on his blade. With his sword once again free, he plunges it into the midsection of The Angel of Darkness, and with his hand still grabbing hold of the demon’s arm he rips the limb clean off. Crying out in pain, The Angel of Darkness plunges his left hand into Lucas’s right arm. Lucas unable to keep his grip on the severed limb drops it to the ground. The Angel of Darkness screams in agony as he gazes deeply into Lucas’ eyes. Lucas does not look away, grabbing hold of his sword still planted deep within the demon’s body he pulls it free cutting The Angel of Darkness. They continue to look into each other’s eyes, the demon’s hand still deep inside of Lucas keeps the top half of the body in mid air as his lower half falls to the ground. Lucas makes a quick cut with his blade severing the remaining arm, then as The Angel of Darkness begins to fall to the earth below Lucas grabs hold of the demon’s neck and plunges his blade deep into its heart. With one last cry, The Angel of Darkness curses Lucas as he turns to dust and blows away. The battle was over, Lucas had won.

[RX-78-2]

Lucas had won, but in the process he lost everything he held dear. The Six Holy Guardians now fused with the power of The Six tried their best to comfort the young warrior; they knew there was much rebuilding to do. Lucas then entered the castle and gathered his mother’s remains, and his father’s wings. His heart still filled with rage, he knew that there was more that he could have done, as long as he allowed Celestia to remain the way it was then a new evil would rise and once again bring tragedy. After giving his mother a proper burial, he gathered the Holy Guardians together. In the throne room, he took his father’s crown and placed it atop his head. He told the Guardians that if Celestia is to survive the rebuilding process that a new set of laws and rules would need to be created. Taking his father’s place Lucas created “Lucas’ Law” a new set of rules, regulations, and laws that would benefit all who lived in Celestia. The Guardians were then instructed to return to their homelands, he gave them leadership over their respective homelands. During this time of reconstructing the social order of Celestia, Lucas became more and more distant. He would lock himself up in his family’s castle, for many months the people would hear nothing from their new king. They too could feel his pain and loss, the very land itself felt his grief, and many questioned Lucas’ ability to lead.

While Lucas dealt with his pain, the Guardians had much work to do. In their homelands they each discovered that many were affected by the creation of the Holy Guardians. Many low level angelics who were unaware of their heritage changed into strange creatures. It was during this time that the many diverse races of Celestia began to emerge. Seadra the Goddess of Water gave birth to the underwater race called the Adraians. Humanlike in appearance with the power to breathe underwater, they sometimes are born with fish like limbs (mermaids, mermen). While they are a powerful race, they seek more peaceful ways of dealing with conflict. Vulcan the King of Flame gave birth to the race of Dragon people known as the Darthains. Some are more human in appearance but carry the blood of the Dragons within them. Some are able to change into mighty Dragons using powerful magic. Tempest the Wind Rider, gave birth to the Windans. They are well versed in magic and knowledge and are known to be one of the most intelligent races in all of Celestia. Areth The Warrior of the Earth was a powerful warrior, and through her transformation many angelic and some humans as well were changed. This caused the power warrior race known as the Caraths to be born. Bane The Shadow Beast gave birth to the Animallus. Part animal, part human they are well versed in all forms of combat. As new life began to serge through the planet, the last of the Guardians, Phoenix the Swordsman of Light decided that his place would be at the side of King Lucas, Phoenix took his place as ruler over the planet while Lucas remained in exile. For the next three years Celestia would remain in this state until the time came for Lucas to finally take his place as the true ruler of the planet.

During the last year of his self-imposed exile, Phoenix’s daughter Katherine constantly visited Lucas. A very beautiful woman, she took it upon herself to take the same path that her father did and tired her best to break down the wall Lucas had placed around himself. Day after day she would come with food and water and did her best to try and get Lucas to at least warm up to her. Soon Lucas would begin to speak to her, he would talk to her about his troubles and would tell stories about his father and mother. A friendship began to blossom between them, and little by little Katherine broke down the walls that Lucas placed around himself. During the last few months of his exile, Lucas made a promise to Katherine, a promise that no matter what happens he would always protect her that he would never fail again. He proposed to her that day, and with his promise made he took her as his bride.

On the last day Lucas and Katherine told the people that the time of darkness had passed, that now it was time to move forward into a new era. With “Lucas’ Law” in place, the Guardians were given power over their respective home countries and Phoenix was made Lucas’ personal advisor. The Vortex, the swirling mass of energy that connected all realms to Celestia was also given a set of laws that would give more protection over Celestia from outsiders who would come to Celestia to do harm. The Windans using their advanced intelligence and technology made travel between the realms easier and soon Celestia once again was given peace.

This peace would last for a time of fifty long years, Lucas and Katherine would give birth to a son by the name of Julian. However, something still does not feel right with Lucas. That however is another story for another time. Now that you know all that there is to know about the creation of Celestia you probably have many questions. There is still another story, the one that will bring about the discovery of a strange new realm; I believe it was called Earth? Now if you will excuse me, I must go back to working on the other stories and documents of Celestian history.

One last note, I do recall a story written during the time of Lucas, if you wish to know more I would start there. Good luck, till we meet again.
