Prologue: Changing Times

2010

In tunnels that sat below the mountains of meridian, a different world from earth. It was almost like Earth from the middle ages, but it had a verity of different creatures that lived there. In the tunnels was a large chamber, lit with candles around it, there was a man-sized tunnel at 1 end and on the opposite end was a large pair of gold and red doors, with a strange indentation on the middle of where the doors met.

Before the door stood 5 girls all about 5 foot 9 high, despite being about 18-19, they were the guardians. They were made up of: Will, she had short read hair but with a small amount of hair at the front that came down to base of her neck. She also had pale red eyes. She wore a purple top that had wide sleeves on it that came down to her elbows, on the front of it was a curved equals symbol that was standing in a vertical direction, continuing from under her sleeves on her arms was a pair of black fingerless gloves, she also had a pair of turquoise tight shorts start at the bottom of her top and covered the top half of her upper legs, tho reached down to near her knees on the outside. From under those came some pale blue and pale green striped leggings. She had dark purple below the knee boots on, they had a silver buckle attached to a dark purple strap around her ankles, then at the top of them each had 2 straps around the outside edge of them. From her back was a pair back framed wings, as long as her arms that had 4 large sections that each got a little smaller but reached down from her back to her knees at their longest part these segments were a dark blue at the top and got paler as they went down into a pale green. Around her neck was a glowing pink orb that had a silver frame, the heart of Kandrakar.

Next was Irma, she also had the same wings and leggings, she had long wavy light brown hair that came down half of her back, she had pale blue eyes. She wore a turquoise tank top that had a wave marked on the front. She had the same sort of fingerless gloves that Will had, they came almost all the way up to her shoulders. She also had a purple half length skirt that split on both sides just below the top of her thighs. On her feet were dark purple boots that came half way up her lower legs.

Then was Taranee, as well as the leggings and wings she had very dark purple hair that was in dreadlocks that came down to the top of her legs. Her eyes were brown, and she wore large framed glasses. He clothing was a purple crop top that covered her shoulders and had a triangle marked on it but the bottom left corner didn't have the lines touching. She also had black fingerless gloves that stopped after her wrists. Over the leggings she had turquoise shorts and some dark purple ankle boots.

There was also Cornelia, beyond the standard bits she had long straight blond hair that came down to her knees and blue eyes. Her Turquoise top completely covered her arms and hands and had a circle on it with a dot in the middle. A long purple skirt that was split on both sides like Irma's she also had and finally dark purple below the knee boots.

Finally was Hay Lin, she had long dark blue hair that came down to the top of her legs and hazel eyes. She wore in addition to the leggings and the wings on her back a turquoise tank top that hand a more curved version of the symbol Irma had but this one stood upwards. She also had a purple skirt that was split the entire length and it came down to her feet which had dark purple slip on shoes. At the top of the skirt it had a dark purple cord wrapped around it. She also had fingerless gloves that came up to below her elbows and then some straps that continues wrapped around her arms to just above her elbows.

They were standing before the door while backing away from them was a person, about 5 foot 11, in a dark brown robe that covered him, His face was young looking human face maybe early 20's, pale skin with short black hair and red glowing eyes. He was hobbling backwards towards the tunnel holding his left side. He then called to them in anger "You will pay, one day, I will get what I desire!" He then disappeared into the shadows, and when they moved up to the spot, he was gone.

Lying on the floor in the middle of the room was a strange item, it was shaped like a infinity symbol and had a long rod come out below it with a large V on the end, the whole thing was crimson red and matched the engraving on the door. The girls walked over and surrounded it, looking down they then all launched a beam of energy from each of them, breaking it into 5 pieces, they each took one and returned to earth, each wasn't going to say where they were hiding it.

2085

Times had now changed, the guardians had split up long ago to allow a new younger team to take over so they could live out their lives, but in Kandrakar, a castle situated in the centre of the dimensions, all 5 of them stood in a large chamber which hade curved stone tiered bench seats like a old theatre. They were all old now, having lived a long live, getting married, having kids, grandkids, ect. And for a couple of them their husbands had died. The chamber was filled with representatives from all the worlds it was linked to, everyone was dressed smart. The current guardians who were all in their 30's also stood to the side of the chamber in there guardian forms.

On a raised platform in the middle of the seating a elderly woman stepped forwards, she wore a white robe that covered her from the neck down, She had mid back length grey hair and hazel eyes. On the back of her right hand was a back marking that matched the heart of Kandrakar. This was the Oracle of Kandrakar, Yan Lin. She then spoke out "Everyone, we are welcoming a new member into Kandrakar today, she has served us well as a guardian and one of our agents since she stood down. Wilhelmina Vandom step before us."

Will slowly walked out into the middle of the chamber, she hated being called Wilhelmina, but due to the nature of what was going on she understood her full birth name was to be used. Her hair had gone to a pale red and now came down to her shoulders. She wore a grey tracksuit. In the middle was a marking on the floor that matched the heart as well, she stood in the middle of the orb marking.

"Wilhelmina, you have chosen to join us here, bonding yourself to Kandrakar" Yan Lin spoke out, performing the ceremony. "Do you agree to the binding, aware of the consequences should you break your oath."

Will slowly got down onto her right knee and bowed down before everyone before she spoke in a voice that was confident in the decision she was making. "I understand the oath I take in binding to Kandrakar, and the consequences should I break it." She paused a moment before continuing. "I pledge myself to the infinite dimensions to serve them as a member of the council of Kandrakar. In this binding oath I take, I bind my life and powers to Kandrakar."

"You have pledged yourself." Yan Lin spoke out before addressing everyone else in the room. "Is there anyone here who has a reason this pledge shouldn't be accepted?" there was silence in the chamber, Will's former team all looked on, almost as if they wanted to stop her, but knew they didn't have a valid reason.

After a few moments Yan Lin singled for 2 others wearing the same robes then walked up next to her, 1 was also female, having cat-like ears and nose with whiskers. She had a pale yellow fur over her. The other was humanoid, he was bald and had a large white beard.

Then all 3 of them all held their right hands out before them and the markings on the floor Will was inside started to take on a pink glow. Yan Lin then spoke "Wilhelmina Vandom, we accept your pledge and oath, there for we now grant you the binding, you life and powers will be linked to the power of Kandrakar, as we do this you can take on the appearance of any age of your adult life."

Then a large pink energy beam fired up from the orb will was in, blinding everyone. Will closed her eyes as she focused on an age she wanted to take the appearance of again as she felt energy surge through her body. When the light faded, she looked like she was now in her mid 20's. Her hair was once again a solid red that came down halfway on her neck, Her eyes opened but were now pink in colour. Her clothing had changed to the same robes that the other members of Kandrakar wore.

After the ceremony people returned to their worlds, some offering there congratulations to Will. Eventually they only ones left who weren't part those who stayed at Kandrakar were the current guardians and the previous ones. Yan Lin then looked to the current team and other members of Kandrakar. "Everyone leave please, there is some private matter that needs to be discussed with the old guardians."

Immediately everyone else left the chamber leaving only the former guardians and Yan Lin. The door closed and they discussed about the events from 2010, and that when they pass away the bits of the key they hid could be found, and they came up with a plan.

Over the next 15 years the other 4 passed away peacefully and the plan was acted out, after the funerals there body's disappeared from the coffins after they were sealed, allowing the bodies to be hidden away on different worlds.

Then 100's of years passed. Things changed, new guardians every now and then, and earth now began to meet aliens having developed magical technology to open the folds to other worlds and they began to integrate their societies some offspring came from human and alien parents, tho this didn't settle well with all people, there were some who didn't like the idea of a cross-bread, but nothing major ever happened. Time trundled on to 2513, where then something strange started to happen...
