In an inn somewhere in Bree.
"Sir, I have confirmed that Cain Thomas and May Mercury are currently residing in Rosario Village for almost 20 years now. They have two offsprings, one girl and one boy. The girl seems to be 16 years old while the boy is 6 years old. According to the villagers, they also seem to have a foster son named Yan who's about 17 years old.
Cain, May and their son, Ashes, are the currently living in the village while their daughter, named Rae, has not been seen for days now. According to the people, Yan and Rae constantly go out the village and disappear for many days."
A large man covered in dark cloak suddenly lifted his hood to show his face. He tapped his fingers in the wooden table. The people surrounding him kept quiet. Their eyes flashed fear and reverence in this man.
"This operation is still a secret. The higher ups still have no idea that we found those two escapees. This is my chance to climb up to the ranks in the capital and bring back my lost reputation."
He extruded a fearful aura the moment he mentioned his 'lost reputation'. His subordinates kept a bowing head in fear of angering him.
If Rosella was here, she would recognise this man. He was Benedict Tudor, a Level 72 Warrior. Ten yers ago, he was once dubbed as a genius in the capital. But years later, his peers, like Rosella, managed catch up to his talents. Now, he was nothing more than a forgotten name.
He was born from a brach family of the Tudors. As born with a Warrior Job, rather than a Mage, he was seen as a lowly brute by the eyes of the main Royal Family.
When he secretly intercepted the information about Cain and May, he decided to go here alone and capture them. By doing this, he though he will get back the recognition he thinks he deserve.
As he stood up from his seat, Benedict Tudor prided his height as a 7 foot tall human with a giant two-handed sword at his side. It was his personal weapon.
"We will go there this evening and deliver them alive to the capital. Prepare everything. I don't want a single mistake to happen!"
"Yes, Sir!"
- - -
"Oh. The scout had return. I think they're going to go the village tonight."
Yan was skimming on a bookshelf in Rosella's office while Rosella and Rae sat down on the couch and having a tea party. Both of the girls are currently in harmony.
"Now we can see how capable they are."
Rosella said with arrogance. She was showing her other battle hungry side.
Rae kept quiet while stroking Snow's fur. When she became an adult, she started to speak less and became aloof in front of others. But she will only show her femininity in front Yan.
Today, Yan explained to her about the current situation. He told her that there are men in the nearby inn who will likely attack her parents tonight. He told her that he's going to kill them.
Rae just nodded in reply.
She didn't judge Yan for she will do exactly the same thing he will do. Killing monsters has been in part of her life for the last ten years. For her, those men who wanted to harm her family are worst than the vilest monsters. Killing those men would not be much different for her. She extruded her usual cold expression but was very furious inside.
After a couple of casual skimming, Yan noticed a particular large book in the shelf.
"Origins: The History of the Universe, the Kingdoms and its people in Azureth"
'Oh. This Interesting. Except for the things Uncle Cain had told me, I knew nothing about the other things in this world. We still have time, so why not read this.'
He picked up the large book and started reading it as he sat down in the middle of Rae and Rosella.
Rosella priced her collection of books. Though not as large as the Royal Library in the capital, her books had a priceless value that she bitterly collected the most part of her life. If others were to touch her collections, she would rain them with Shadow Bolts and curses. But because it was Yan, she didn't say anything and smiled. She thought Yan and Rae need to know these informations.
Yan began to read the book out-loud for Rae to hear. She quietly listened in Yan.
"A long time ago, it is said that our universe were created by the a group of supreme gods known as the Elder Titans.
In the beginning, the universe was formless and desolate. It was uninhabited, cold and was covered in darkness.
The leader of the Elder Titans, Valcrow 'The Light-bringer', saw our universe was covered in darkness. And with his thought, countless of stars shone bright all across the universe. Light and warmth was created.
Theodrite 'The Provider' felt that the universe has no place to for living things to thrive. And with a wave of a hand, planets took shape out of nothing and continents and the oceans were created.
Helene 'The Shifter', thought that the universe had no beauty. And with her words, the earth and the seas brought forth myriad of grasses and trees that yield fruit of any kinds and flowers bloomed to beautify the lands.
Ivan 'The Thousand-Clans', thought that that this universe needed inhabitants. And so with a stomp, creatures of any kind was formed out from the dust in the air. Creatures of any shapes and sizes in the land, air and sea were born.
Eldrich 'The All-Father', the strongest of all the Elder Titans, thought that their creations needed guardians. He drew out one drop of his blood and splashed it all across the cosmos. And with his blood, humanoid creatures with intelligence were born."
Got the writer’s block for a few days. It’s a sad thing. Let me world build. Enjoy! ♥️
"After the creation of the universe, The Elder Titans, except one, began their eternal slumber. It is said that only when Ragnarok, the Universe-Ending Calamity, happens will they rise again from their sleep.
Only the sixth Elder Titan, Alderien 'The Watcher' continued to watched over the universe.
It is said that Alderien watched over and guided the first intelligent races to unite and build settlements and equipments.
Billions of years ago, from the creation, Azureth had only one giant continent and was surrounded by oceans. Millions of creatures thrive in the land, air, and the seas of this blue planet lived in harmony.
But peace in this planet only lasted for a moment.
As billions of years passed, thru battle and massacre, the strongest creatures became hegemon of the parts of the continent. They call themselves Gods in Azureth.
With their strength, they conquered and enslaved countless of other creatures. Only when they became their slaves will they survive the harsh reality.
After millions of years, the countless enslaved races began to revolt the so-called Gods. Thousands of races where wiped out and millions of lives vanished in the battle. After millions of years of struggles, did the rebels won. Some of the Gods were killed while others were imprisoned and will never see the light of the day again. They as now referred as the Old Gods.
Only then the First Great Era ended and the Second Great era started.
But freedom proved to be too good to be true. After defeating the Old Gods, the stronger races who rebelled also began to enslaved the weaker races. Though they are not as strong the the Old Gods, but their cruelty was the same, if not worse.
After millions of years, other weaker races escaped their master and roam the endless and unexplored lands. Some also went into the deepest seas.
After another hundreds of millions of years of adapting and evolving, the other races also began to split apart somewhere along the line to start their own tribes.
The Mar'grosh Race began to split in two tribes. The other began to worship feral spirits in the wild to integrate in their bodies and soul while the other strive for knowledge though research and their intellects. The former the became the ancestors of the Were-People while the latter became the ancestors of the Human Race.
The Dut'dran Race also split apart into two tribes. One began to research about making weapons and armours and settle themselves in mountains full of minerals and metals while other research about machines through engineering and science and settle themselves in small hills and grasslands. The former became the ancestors of the Dwarves and the latter became the ancestors of the Gnomes.
The Alter'an Race were intelligent creatures with animal like feature that gained magic properties when they, millions of years ago, discovered a cave full of stones filled with magic properties and became the ancestors of the Mystics.
On the other side of the continent, Ogg'rish Race split in three tribes. One settled in the planes and grasslands and became the ancestors of the Orcs, another settled in the woodlands and became the ancestors of the Trolls, while the weakest ones settled on the mountains and became the ancestors the High Goblins.
While others split, other races also began to integrate themselves with other races. After millions of years, these group of races became the ancestors of the Beastmen. But somewhere along the years, one tribe separated themselves with the Beastmen to became the ancestors of the Pandarens.
At that time, hundred of millions years ago, the most intelligent race where the Elwe'denar. But unlike the other races, they constantly research about power and magic.
Ten million years ago, the Elwen'denar Race also began to split apart to research different kind of power sources. One tribe researched about Blood Magic. The research used the blood of creatures as a sacrifice to gain their life essence. Another tribe began to researching about everlasting life on a corpse of a certain Old God. While the third tribe began to researching power by integrating themselves with nature.
The first one then became the ancestors of the Blood Elves, the second one became the ancestors of the Undyings while the last tribe became the ancestors of the Night Elves.
Many tribes began developing their minds and continued to evolve. Civilisations rose and fell one after another but everything changed a million years ago.
A large explosion happened in the centre of the continent. It was so large that the single continent split apart into four large continents and countless archipelagos. Now, the four large continents is called The Eastern Continent, The Raging Lands, Pandaria and The Northern Abyss.
In present time, The Northern Abyss is a place where the major powers of the continent had not been completely explored. Only the strongest individual can go there. It is said that in this place where the sealed Old Gods and the past masters are currently found.
And also, somewhere in The Northern Abyss is where the portal to the other world appeared.
The splitting of the world was called The Great Chasm.
This event ended the Second Great Era. The world had now arrived to the Blank Period.
During this period, due to the splitting of the land, tsunamis, huge earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other known disasters plagued the whole Azureth. Countless of races again died out due to this disasters.
It been said that the world's mana well exploded and split the whole Azureth. Mana circled all around the world thru air and the sea. It seeped through the bodies of all creatures. Other places have a lot of mana concentration than the others.
During this harsh period of times, alliances and enemies were made.
Twenty thousands years ago, the very first people of now the thirteen major races appeared in Azureth.
Ten thousand years ago, intelligent races were born with bodies that were compatible with certain things in the environment. At this time, the Major Jobs were born.
For example, if individual was born with a pure strong physical body they are referred as Warriors. If they also have compatibility with magic in addition with a strong physique, they are referred as Paladins.
If an individual was born with weak physique but with strong connection with mana, if they are compatible with dark magic, then they are referred as Warlocks. But if they're compatible with the elements, then they are referred as Mages.
If an individual was born with light and agile physique and compatible with animals, they are referred as Hunters while individual compatible with quick attacks and in their bodies in the environment, they can be called as Rogues.
Other Major Jobs depended on their environment and blood lines."
