Authors note: So, it's been years since I decided to write the first few chapters of this story. I'm older, slightly more experienced as a writer, certainly better read than before, and I've still had this story bounding around in my head. It's changed form many times, but maybe writing it down will finally give it a static form. I intend now, between college work, to try and bang out new chapter. So again I say, bear with me and let's see were this goes.
Using the power of Mana, a civilization
had grown strong...
In time, Mana was used to create the
ultimate weapon: the Mana Fortress...
This angered the gods. They sent their
beasts to destroy the Fortress...
A violent war rocked the world, and Mana
seemed to disappear...
Before all was lost, a hero with the Mana
Sword smashed the Fortress...
Though the civilization had been destroyed,
the world was peaceful again.
But time flows like a river... and
history repeats...
And so in time the Mana Fortress
was resurrected...
Once again a hero was called upon
to stop the Mana Fortress...
With the help of two friends the Mana Beast
was crushed and the world saved...
The second destruction of the Fortress caused
the world to split into two worlds...
The first was a more arcane world, containing the powers of mana...
The second world grew without the blessing of mana...
Science took hold and the world grew into one of machines and technology...
The worlds have been completely separate since their creations...
However the barriers between world are beginning to weaken...
Now the worlds are both in danger from the same ancient power...
