Prologue: The Origin
In the beginning there was one, a single supreme being, different civilizations called him different names but he remained the same. He created seven angels, his children, and told them they could create their own worlds and life. The eldest angel began on her creation first; she started off with a solar system and a planet of which she called Pandora. This is where she would start creating life. Her first life forms were the primitive creatures that lay as fossils today. After they went extinct, she decided to experiment with intelligent life. She created six siren daughters and gave them their own unique power. The physical mark of their power was a blue design that covered the left side of their bodies and glowed upon using their power. Next, she made a son to watch over and be the guardian of his six sisters. He was the most powerful of the seven siblings and had a similar mark as his sisters except that it was the color of his skin and only glowed while using his power. The seven siblings loved their mother and the planet she created for them. Over the next few millennia, The Mother created a whole galaxy and filled it with an entire race of intelligent beings that came to be known as the Eridians. The Eridians were a peaceful race that coexisted with each other even as they split into tribes. When they discovered a violet-colored glowing element they came to call Eridium, its potential to release great amounts of energy drove the Eridians to harness it. It was not long before The Brother discovered he could absorb the energy from Eridium and increase his power. He eventually became power hungry and corrupted; anyone who stood between him and Eridium paid the ultimate price. Through his increase in power, he eventually learned how to create life, though they were only crude, savage monsters. When The Mother learned of his corruption, she demanded him to rescind the power he gained from Eridium or be destroyed. He refused and threatened the same fate as the many others who got in the was of his hunger for more power. The only thing The Mother could think of at this time was to create a second son, another guardian to stop his corrupted sibling. With the realization that a war was coming, the corrupted brother asked his sisters to join him. Five of them refused and barely escaped with their lives. At this failure, The Corrupted decided to take matters into his own hands. He used his power of creation to make monsters such as: The Warrior, The Destroyer, and Seraph Guardians to name a few. War had erupted; even the peaceful Eridians had split loyalties and began forging weapons. The war raged on for centuries, ending only when the Brother had imprisoned his corrupted sibling and his monsters in vaults around the galaxy. The Mother feared her new son would eventually go down the same path as his older sibling, so she implanted The Brother's spirit into a mortal being and forced it to go dormant, waking only upon the absorption of Eridium. She then removed all Eridium from the worlds and restricted it from growing unless the first vault on Pandora had been awakened. For her daughters, she also made them mortal but allowed them to keep their power. As a result of the war, the Eridian race was nearly extinct and eventually fell victim to human expansion. The fighting stopped and the few remaining Eridians continued to watch over the last ruins but the danger was far from over.
