Children of the stars

Prologue

Astrophysics taught us that stars are the building blocks of everything. It is in the belly of a star where all the elements were once created. Stars keep their equilibrium star's gravity which creates the inward force is matched by the star's outward force or the ignition of gasses causing outward pressure preventing a star's core from collapsing into itself. The outward force is created by the burning of Hydrogen within the stars inner core.

Obviously, over time, this supply of hydrogen gets lower and lower and lower until it is so low that it can no longer match the star's gravity and the star collapses into itself. Yet, the smaller the star gets compressed, the higher the pressure and heat builds until it compresses the remaining gas so tightly that the star pretty much behaves like a hand grenade and explodes blasting all the elements it created deep into space, one again, like a grenade blasts shrapnel. This phenomenon is known as a Supernova.

It is then, long after the supernova explosion that the different elements come together. Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, iron, all basic necessities to create life. Everything around us, all the atoms creating you belongings were once blasted from dying stars.

Yet in one particular star's core, the conditions were just right. Just right to create gems with extraordinary powers that got blasted into space the moment that star died and exploded over 2 million years ago. Yet obviously it takes time for something to move from point A to point B especially if the distance to be traveled is a couple thousand light years away.

But finally, after over 2 million years of travel, some gems reached our planet around three thousand years ago according to old writings. Legend has it that these gems would embed themselves to humans the gems are compatible with granting these humans abilities way beyond the capabilities of mere man. These men were known are the "Gifted".

In recorded history, 4 of the greatest "gifted" were Madara Uchiha who merged with the Chiryoku gem, allowing him control of lighting, fire and greatly improved mental ability allowing him to perceive and read any opponents movements. Then we have Hitoshi Haruno who merged with the Tsuyosa granting him great physical strength and intensity and giving him a brilliant insight into the functions of a human body with or without a gem. Next there was Yuri Uzumaki who merged with the Taikyuuryoku gem granting her control over wind and giving her amazing stamina and endurance. And lastly we have Ryu Hyuuga who merged with the Baransu granting him great balance, brilliant insight and vision and control over Earth element. These four formed a council balancing power over 4 nations and ranking "gifted" people according to the ability of their gems.

It turns out that the absorbed gem bonds with once DNA and from point of bondage becomes a hereditary trait that has been passed down many generations and now, over three thousand years later, their ancestors have inherited their abilities and live in secret amongst the Naturals (non-"gifted"). But new dangers are arising as descendants from weaker and less known "gifted" have developed a scientific machine to replicate greater gems and improve some traits they already have. With this new technology, these people want to overthrow the current council and claim the Earth for their own and in slave humanity taking their revenge on the descendants of the original council for the supposed unjust treatment their ancestors received.

Only 5 descendants of the original 4 council leaders still exist now and are trying to keep the peace that all the past council leaders fought hard to maintain.

And so the story begins….
