Prologue
Long ago, before the Pokemon era and when swords were the primary weapons, Elemental gods ruled all the lands. In each of their seven lands was a grand and magnificent temple in which they roost. Those temples are now hidden in the memories of the past and countless ages. The original Elements are that of Fire, Water, and Grass, Lightning, Ice, Steel, and Ground. The humans that lived in this era were weak and easily corrupted, except the Monks of the temples. One day in the gods highest of times, Darkness overcame the lands pulling the weak humans into its pit of death and destruction. Chaos took the land in her clutches and squeezed ever so tightly. The gods realized that their people were losing hope in them and that they had to do something and fast. They all met in the Indigo Plateau and decided the fate of all humanity. In the middle of the gathering a psychic called Lokada from the Flame's clan came with a vision of the far future. He said that even if they rid the Darkness now, he would wait in the darkest depth of the ocean or a volcano or a cave and bid his time until the world is vulnerable once more. They pondered over this, knowing it was true for Lokada has not been wrong yet. Days pasted when the goddess of Ice came up with an idea. She had the idea of making creatures that are pure of heart and would be loyal to their captures, ridding them of this Darkness. The other gods agreed this was a good idea so they take bits of their souls to make these creatures in which they called Oethus. Soon the Darkness retreated and the Oethus of the elements came to be the friends and protectors of the humans. Many years pasted and in the year 47 A.O (after Oethus) the gods discovered something odd. Their powers were draining at a slow rate. Another meeting at the Plateau was set. The night before the god of Steel had a vision dream. He saw a way to save them and to help the humans when the Darkness returns in the centuries to come. The gods, in that very Plateau that still stands now, took there own lives and set there Elemental souls in coali, the strongest metal ever known (it is now so rare that finding a piece could make you an instant billionaire.), and called them the Ren. Only four of the gods set their souls in their temples. The rest scattered them about the lands for the Renholders to be drawn to. They set a magic dispel evil curse upon them and a spell that once they were all reunited once again a prophecy will be told.
The year now is 3045 A.O and the Darkness has awoken from its slumber.
