Hello! OK, I'm here with the story that was erased! It's a good thing that I wrote the basis down, otherwise this story would've died right then and there! By the way, I DO know how to spell kingdom. See? K-I-N-G-D-O-M. It's just that they use Kingdome instead of kingdom. This is just the prologue. Instead of writing the chapters ahead, I'll do what other authors seem to do: write a chapter, post it up, write a chapter, post it up write a chapter, post it up. So I wrote a chapter—and I posted it up!

~Heirs To The World~

Taking the book down from the shelf, he skimmed through the weathered pages, searching. At last, he stopped at the chapter he required. He smiled and readied his other research works. Taking a delicate feather quill, he dipped it into ink. Quill scratching along on the parchment, he wrote…

Kingdomes of the Digimon Era

Not much is known of the Eras before Digimon arose but the main fact that humans lived alone and without the constant companion of what is known as a soul-friend. In other words, Digimon are born with us; we are them and they are we. It is relentlessly theorized that there are two worlds in the one we live in currently; one Digimon, the other human. As in a parallel universe there are two of one, the Digiworld is the parallel universe of the creature humans.

The Digimon Era is one of peace. The first century was spent learning to live with the varied assortment of creatures that one day appeared on what is known as the Year of Rebirth. On this special Year, humans opened their eyes for the first time and saw themselves for what they truly were; savage barbarians. Once this realization settled in among the tribe that would eventually become the basis for the Kingdome of Knowledge, a strange light came from the sky, allowing the natives to catch a glimpse of a different world, one of tall and reflective buildings and strange machines for transportation. We have not achieved this level of technology as of yet, though the sources of the said vision are doubtable.

Once the Digimon appeared to their soul mates, they enlightened the hooligans our ancestors enough to be curious about the world. Thus the Kingdome of Knowledge was born, although the Temple of Tentorelle would be erected in the Kabuteric lands decades later. The Children of Knowledge were continuously inquisitive about the world and its origins, endlessly classifying and searching for new species. They wield with great accuracy the Arbalests of Knowledge and a strange discovery called Electricity.

Years later, a branch of citizens left the Kingdome of Knowledge; they were too headstrong for the quiet life of study. Fleeing away from the Great Temple, they took refuge in the Agunatra desert south of the Kabuteric lands. Their odd Digimon surprisingly aided their survival and adaption there easily. Soon, a truce was made; the oddities of the Kingdome of Knowledge were to understand and train the physical part of the body, becoming the Kingdome of Courage, brandishers of the Swords of Fire. It was named so because, according to the Calendar of Knowledge, their defecting occurred on the Year of Courage, and it was decreed that all other Kingdomes in the Future would be deemed accordingly. They trained effortlessly, becoming Warriors of Courage, fearsome yet merry desert men and women.

A group of people from Tentorelle grew tired of the resources decades later. They left the Temple in search of new things to study but promised to come back if anything astounding crossed their path. A year later, they returned to Kabuterisk from the North with news of a new Kingdome, established in the Year of Friendship. This new Kingdome was found in the icy tundra of Gabuniere, the Ice Palace of Garurunil where the King of Ice rules as the leader of those of Friendship. As adapted to a life of bitter cold and snowstorms as the Kingdome of Courage is to the searing heat of the desert, the citizens of Garurunil are also as skilled in handling the Staffs of Ice as those of Courage are in battling with their Swords of Fire

The Kingdome of Knowledge, upon hearing of this, decided to send out their scholars in search of new discoveries, so as not to miss a thing. Now, citizens of Knowledge roamed the world and came back often with various finds.

East of Agunatra, emissaries were sent to the desert from the Jungle of Togesanra. It appeared that there was another Kingdome situated there, founded on the Year of Sincerity. An alliance with these people and the Kingdomes proved very valuable, as this Kingdome specialized in medical treatments pharmacy and were experts at the Whips of Poison. The vast jungle is filled with many medical wonders. Deep within this tropical jungle is the heart of Sincerity, is the Temple Palace of Palmera.

Surprisingly, as the emissaries made their way back to Palmera, they stumbled upon a peaceful farming community just east of the rocky mountains of Kabuterin. Exploring as inquisitively as those of Knowledge did, they found that it was another hidden Kingdome, exactly built and established on the Year of Hope, when famine struck the lands of Tentorelle. These friendly people were very hospitable yet high in their expertise of dagger weapons. Their governing rulers dwelled in the Castle of Pataru. The envoys of the Kingdome of Knowledge also ventured here to make peace and learn more of this surprising kingdom.

Another millennium passed before the discovery of a new Kingdome; but first, it started out as the sighting of a group of desert people further south of a forest. Curious to see what was within, they ventured far in and, upon climbing a mountain, saw an enormous tree protruding from the earth. Scientists from Tentorelle were informed and after journeying through the land, they discovered that it was more than fifty miles wide in diameter and that a more ancient Kingdome had been established within the tree. They had a different calendar system, to them, it was the Revolution of the Comet Soul, but they agreed to follow the Kingdome of Knowledge since their system was rather inaccurate. Thus was the Kingdome of Kindness.

Although deadly in their uses of the Javelin of Flight, the scientists of Knowledge were greeted by the dwellers of the Tree (Wormtii) with warmth and amazement. After all, the Kingdome was teeming with all sorts of life, most dominantly insects though. In their frenzy to learn, the people of Kindness also showed them several equally enchanting Kingdomes.

They were shown the forest, which was named Biyoarin and its inhabitants. They formed another Kingdome, more antediluvian than Knowledge could hope to be, although their way of living is seemingly primitive. They live in houses in the trees and the forest is home to the people and even their King, as they know every single detail about it. They are lethal in the art of Archery and are well-known as Archers of Love, fiercely protective of their land but once warm to someone can be the most loyal and caring of all. This is the Kingdome of Love, in other calendars, the Kingdome formed in the Turning of the Heart Towards the Sun. Perhaps it was formed when the first human opened his eyes to what he was.

Next, they were shown the Kingdome of Reliability (Year of Awareness of Need by the Shining Star) deep within the seas of Zudo, just to the West of Biyoara a city of amazing technology, for it was an underwater fantasy below the waves, deep in the floor of the ocean. There were the people who were proficient fishermen and wielders of the Harpoons of Water. Reports sent to Tentorelle about this kingdom of dreams were all about its spectacular beauty and its wonderful fish delicacies.

A month later, they headed back to Biyoara and north of that to the Desert of Agunatra. Puzzled, the scientists told the citizens of Kindness that they already knew the Kingdome of Courage. But when they encountered a strong tribe of Courage, the kind guide was startled and sent a hawk to inform the Kingdome of Kindness about this. Piqued, the tribe of Courage, Greyé, accompanied them deep into the desert which Courage thought that he had conquered.

They found another Kingdome, more primordial than Love and Knowledge put together; the Kingdome formed when the Sun Cast its Eyes upon the Nova Spirit, or the Year of Light. In the hot sands of the desert, there were strange triangular-shaped structures and startlingly beautiful oases. They met the people, cat-worshippers, in the Palace of Gatoris, deep in the golden city of Angewotep, precise throwers of Blades of Light. Incredibly stealthy, they have been well-trained in the art of espionage. Their history was more inclusive than that of Knowledge, though there are still some sizeable gaps left in our knowledge of the world and how it began, along with the mystery of Digimon.

To conclude this report, we shall give reverence to the houses that have ruled these nine Kingdomes:

From the Kingdome of Knowledge, ruling the Council as the Head of the Council is currently the Izumi heir.

From the Kingdome of Courage, the Tribe Callers are of Kamiya, leader of the Warriors.

From the Kingdome of Friendship, the present Generation of Ice Ruler is of the Ishida family.

From the Kingdome of Sincerity, the Empress as of now is of Tachikawa.

From the Kingdome of Hope, governing the lands are those of the Takaishi line.

From the Kingdome of Kindness, governing the great tree Wormtii is the House of Ichijouji.

From the Kingdome of Love, the King living among his people equally descended from the ancient House of Takenouchi.

From the Kingdome of Reliability, Emperor of the City of Dreams is from Kido.

From the Kingdome of Light, the Kamiya line rules, descended from a pact made between the warrior clan of Greyé and the Spies of Light to ensure peace.

Presenting this report to the Unit of Brief Histories for Approval is the Head of the Council:

That's it for now. You'll have to be content. And how come Digimon exist when it is only the dawning of electricity? Well, ask the scholars of Light. They'll tell you. Be prepared with a soft comfy pillow and if you're lucky, a bed, because it'll take them days to get past the introduction. Now be good and review! ^_
