Part Two: The Temple of Life
-----------------------------------
Prologue: Ensis Dominus
-----------------------------------
The ancient scrolls do not say much about Grineth, as they do not say much about Kiefer, the last Timeless Hero to be seen. There is little to say; one was evil, the other was good, and their people, the ancient Kreyans, bound their destinies together.
-----------------------------------
Raveth Lagesia was the first Timeless Hero, and it was he who began the creation of the Master Sword. He took the metal from the meteor that had been sent to the earth by the Golden Goddesses, and brought it to Volcanis, of the Southern Runes, to forge into a mighty sword. The ancient Kreyans called the unbreakable blade Ensis Dominus, the Master Sword, for not a weapon made could scar or wear its edge. The first Timeless Hero destroyed Scianei, the rogue Lord of Death, and stopped him from using the Temple of Life to bring the Dark Figures into the world.
Kiefer came long after Grineth's time, but The Betrayer had not died the first time the ancient Kreyans sealed him away. He returned to wreak havoc upon the Sacred Realm, to destroy the Ancient Sages, and to kill the people that had cast him out. Kiefer took up the Master Sword and sought Grineth out. For a full day and night they battled, until twenty of his comrades used their magic to seal the demon king in Aounto, the Land Between Realms.
-----------------------------------
The ancient Kreyans were a great and enlightened society that dealt in pure magic and the secrets of the world. They left their mark in many places, including the Island of Light and Iii, the frozen north country. With the Sheikah they lived in happiness and seclusion from the normal world. Other civilizations could only dream about the way of life that the two peoples had, the populus vetus [Ancient People] and the populus umbra [Shadow People].
It was Grineth who caused the disappearance of the civilization of the ancient Kreyans. Even books and scrolls vanished; only the cities remained, and they offer little clues as to who they had once been, and what they had once accomplished.
The twenty that helped Kiefer dissipated, some to marry, others to find a new home. They held their true lives in secret, living among the normal folk and breeding with them as well. Though centuries have passed since Kiefer's time, some of the ancient Kreyans still live on today.
In fact, there are seven remaining.

Author's Note: Hey, great to have you, Faithful Reader! If you've not read the Part One: The Cursed War, I suggested you do, because this part is going to take place right afterwards. OK, that's it from me!
