Hi. My name's Eli, short for Elicia. We don't really have last names here. Everyone just calls me the Mayor's Daughter, which I am. I should really explain what my story's about and where it takes place.
Okay, so here's the deal. I live in a land called Lygium. I know, it probably sounds pretty weird. But, we love it and live with it.
My village is called Tyren. The majority of it is built into the trees of the Twilight Forest. We do have a village square, which is ringed by purple and silver willow trees, but other than that, we're completely in the forest.
Okay, I'm almost ready to get into my story, I promise. First, you need to learn our history as a race.
Nobody knows exactly how my people came to be, but there is a legend. The legend says that the first of us was an experiment. We began as a hybrid species in the lab of the Old Worlders. Eventually, something happened and all of the Old Worlders died, leaving their hybrids behind. We rose up and created our own society under the leadership of the first of us, who was called The Helix.
The Helix, who was extraordinarily powerful, was able to create more of our species, and we spread out all over the world. My ancestors settled in a place that was once called Pennsylvania by the Old Worlders. We traveled in morph so the wild beasts would stay away.
What is morph, you ask? Well I'll get to that later. I still have a bit more of the story.
After the Old Worlders were gone, The Helix cleansed the world of their buildings, their things and their pollution. Our world was returned to its original state. Yet, this great act left The Helix a little more than an empty husk. We could talk to her, but she would not respond. Yes, The Helix is female, and she is why females run our society today.
I'm almost done. I have a few more things to explain, then we can jump right in to my story.
Now, The Helix can only do two things for our people. She can grant us death and grant us life, that is it. You see, we are immortal. Our people have the ability to remain at any age as long as they wish. It wasn't always like that, but it is now. If you wish to die, you must travel to The Helix, for only she can grant us death. Also, if you wish to have a child, you and the other person must travel to The Helix and ask her if you can have a child. Sometimes she allows the couple, other times she doesn't.
Yet, before The Helix cast her mighty cleansing spell, she wrote down a prophecy. It is called The Prophecy of Legend.
Now, time to explain morph. Goodness, this is taking longer than I thought. Hang in there, I want it to be over as badly as you do.
When The Helix was originally created by the Old Worlders, something was very popular in their society, something called Pokemon. Humans wanted to create real Pokémon, so they did. All of the Pokémon that they knew were created. But they didn't know the limits, so they tried to make people into Pokémon. What they created was a new species of human who can morph into a Pokémon. For example, my mom can morph into Rapidash, and almost any other fire Pokémon you can think of. Now, people can morph into multiple Pokémon instead of just one.
The luckiest people are the ones who can morph into legendary Pokémon. My mom can morph into Moltres, and my friend's dad can morph into Dialga. You can tell who can legend morph, as we call it, by the color of their eyes. The legend's eyes glow a shining silver.
Okay, back to the prophecy. The Prophecy of Legend tells of a child. A child who was born of a leader; a kind and powerful leader. The child, and their parents, are to be born of flames which shall never be extinguished. Yet, the child is special, very special. The child can morph into every legendary Pokémon that ever existed, even if we don't know of them.
Now, finally, here's where I come in.
In case you forgot, my name is Eli. Just a few more facts about me: I have bright, shining silver eyes. Both of my parents are Flamelings, or fire morphs. I'm a flameling. My mother is the Mayor of Tyren. In short, people had some theories about me. Let's just say that they were right.
