Birth of Chaos: Book 1 in the "Tornel: World of Chaos" book series

Prologue

Contrary to popular belief, there were many worlds floating through the River of Time. Most realms have no way of knowing the wonders and history that they are a part of. But for some of them, their worlds were forever changed by the great conflicts involving powerful and supernatural forces. In the past, the use of epic power would sometimes cause the worlds to connect. The most significant of these occurrences was when Granin, a maniacal warlock used the Stone of Ages to wish that Hell would invade existence. By that action, the ubiquitous Fairy Forces put their powers and prophecies into motion. The fairies were the source of nature and also kept evil at bay. But there were several events that caused the collapsed of their empire. After Fianna, the Mother of the Fairies created the Hylima, Merak and Garudia dimensions with her daughters, she decided to go to an eternal slumber and let her daughters keep order. But one of her children, Empress Zeal, wanted the fairy's power to not govern, but rule all of existence. She despised humans and feared their uncontrollable ambition and animalistic desires. Humans were the only beings to exist in all of the dimensions. She urged Taelia her sister to join her in eradicating humans and thus allowing the worlds to only know peace. The Dragon Rulers, the Highest Authority in existence, had no complaints themselves, because such a world would harmonize the energies of the worlds, making catastrophes and sins extinct. The three dragon rulers were born from the very River of Time itself to manage the energies and relationships between the worlds. In a perfect existence, they would not need to exist. But they didn't mind that at all. The Fairies were the gods of the worlds, not them to begin with. Taelia took Zeal's request to heart and took time to observe the humans on all the worlds. Back then, the human race was primitive and was almost like children. Taelia had pity on them and wanted to show them the wonders and joys of magic and the stability of civilization and knowledge. She openly refused to aid Zeal in her quest to rid them out of existence. The two sisters then declared war on each other and the Fairy tribes took sides. The Garudia tribe of fairies, the most powerful of all, supported Zeal and mercilessly enslaved the human race. The Hylima tribe was a peace loving tribe that used their miraculous healing abilities to keep the land healthy. They used their powers to help Taelia. The Cho Tribe, a tribe of faeries made out of pure energy and thrived on machines and technologies also supported her cause. The Temine Glade tribe opposed Taelia using the very power of nature and the animals and spirits as well. The Merak tribe was too young in power and reasoning to get involved in the conflict. The clashing powers between these wars of goddesses had the potential to tear the universe apart, thus forcing the Dragon Rulers and Fianna to get involved and intervene before blood was shed. Fianna passed judgment on her daughters and also the Garudia tribe, who were guilty of crimes against existence. Both empresses were forced to relinquish their powers and those energies were used to create the Seven Fairy Arcana: The Lance of Exile, The Excalibur, The Stone of Ages, The Time Armor, The White Shadow, The Murasame, and The Falcion. These Arcana would be a testament of the fairies glory and would be gifts to mankind for forgiveness. For further punishment, Zeal was sentenced to be imprisoned forever in the icy wastelands of the planet Rykos while Taelia was allowed to be free but was only allowed to dwell at the various springs in the Hylima realm. But something else happened as well. So much evil energy was created by the pain and destruction wrought by the empress's conflict that it collected, grew and gained its own reason. That's when the Prime Darkness was born. Born from the rage, sin and hate incubating in the hearts of a man, it had plenty of fuel to grow. Fianna, realizing the threat of the Prime Darkness, decided to personally get involved in keeping it sealed away. She split her soul into seven parts and transferred her power into a separate Arcana, the Grimoire of Enlightment. Fianna and the Dragon Rulers made a decree that when the world needed to be put back into balance, Heroes of Time would be born, each containing a seventh of Fianna's soul. Those mighty beings would vanquish evil. The triumphs of the pure and heroic spirit of the people would also prevent the Prime Darkness from coming into power. Fianna and the Dragon Rulers did not yet know what form the Darkness would take or even the full extent of its power. But even those divine forces couldn't bear to think about the pitch-black heart and intention such a being would possess. One more thing had to be done. Fianna took the Grimoire of Enlightment and hid it in our world, the Gaia Dimension. Only a human child could unseal its powers and become the Child of Darkness. The Child of Light was prophesied to be a Fairy born when the virtuous emotions and dreams of people would be harvested together and become a living thing, similar to the Prime Darkness itself. When the Children of Light and Darkness would be joined together and would be infused with the souls of the seven heroes of time, Fianna would be resurrected and would return all life back into the energy of the River of Time, creating a spirit world where peace and order would exist on one side, and the realm of evil would exist separately from one another. But it would be up to man and fairy alike to decide its ultimate fate. If it yielded to evil, all life would be destroyed and be corrupted into a lawless world of perdition. The fairies had most of their powers sealed away and were forced to live in the world of the living amongst people. Legend has it that magic was born then and man learned how to harness it. But the records after that are all lost in history. To existence now, this tale is merely a tall tale and not many believe it anymore, despite the evidence existing still.

The following tale is one of many tales of the eternal struggle between good and evil. The smallest dimension, Merak, would soon be the very center to the most decisive battles in history. The residents of this dimension were the pawns of other words for the longest time, including the First Hero of Time, Yom Mutan. But once the games and battles died down, these spirits, creatures and warriors were able to make their own world where they hoped to live their own lives and not be the playthings of other figures in history. They found a home in the Merak, where humans, fairies and angels already had a happy home.
