I know this has already been put in the intro chapter but I'm just posting it separately to refresh my memory and everyone else's, besides I think it's a pretty good way to start the story off.
Heirs of Psynergy
Prologue
By NeoBlitz
Long after the four lighthouse beacons had been lit, in a time when psynergy and adepts are long since forgotten, four potential adepts arise from amidst the ordinary people.
With the destruction of the four lighthouses about thirty years after they had been lit the powers of psynergy slowly disappeared. After lighting Mars Lighthouse the eight adepts responsible for its lighting split. Mia returned to Imil to continue her work of healing the sick and elderly. After three years she became pregnant, but unfortunately she died during childbirth, leaving no one to teach her daughter how to use her magnificent powers. The Mars clan of the north dies out, soon only Jenna and Garet remained, but because of their stubbornness and arrogance they never managed to get together and continue their mighty line. Ivan and Sheba stayed at Jupiter Lighthouse to protect it from dangers, but sadly they perished during the ambush which led to the destruction of the lighthouse. On his way back to Lemuria Picard drowned in a boating accident on the Lalivero Sea during a torrential storm. Felix was travelling to Kalay through Lamakan Desert when, unable to find an oasis he was overcome by the great heat and he slowly died. Isaac returned to Vale where he married and had a son, but when his son grew up he slew his parents and killed himself in a nearby river. Thus there was no one to carry on the powers of psynergy and it slowly died out.
Now, four young friends, unaware of their skills in psynergy, stumble upon the cavern that once held the Elemental stars. The adepts absorb the elemental power, which had gathered in the cavern from housing the Elemental Stars for so long, releasing their powers from within. This new power awakens something that had been resting in the depths of the cavern for decades. This mysterious presence calls out to the adepts and creates a yearning in them to seek out the ruins of the lighthouses and find a way to start the embers of the lighthouses shining on the world, returning psynergy to the many lands. Along their way they sense traces of psynergy coming from other people, they join with these potential adepts to help them develop their powers.
