This is my first story, so please be kind. Please review, so I can make the story better as I go along.

Prologue: The Gods, The Guardians, And The Destiny


The universe was created five-million years ago, by six all-powerful Gods,

making a huge supernova of gases and mineral rocks. Their names were Sheul,

Daemon, Typhera, Sephiroth, Nexus, and Deus. They created Earth as a special

creation. They wanted to see if life would become corrupt, if they gave it a free

will and the ability to think. Soon they discovered all was not perfect on their

small blue marble. Evil from the far reaches of other distance galaxies came to

cleanse the planet of its precious minerals and resources. Not to mention, the

imprisonment of the life on Earth to use as slaves. To protect the Humans, they

made a secret embodiment of the humans themselves. Hidden even from

themselves, these guardians sooner or later gather together, as if by some

unnatural force, bringing them to each other. Four fates strung together by a

small piece of thread, hanging in the balance of cosmic life and death. Hidden

away, the relics that grant the power, to control the balance of the universe.

Masks that grant the user abilities to control different aspects of Time, Death, and

Life. The Mask of Time and Space, once worn by the great Patriarch of Time,

Paradie. The Mask of Life and Death, at one time worn by Death itself, Vex. The

Mask of Elements, one time worn by the great Elemental Hero, Nyx. Finally, the

Mask of Truth and Deceit, once worn on the face of the Lord of Deceit and also

the King of Truth. There are tales of four friends: Cris, Evan, Erick, and Mark, all of them

stoners, going to a special tree, to enjoy the wonders of the sacred herb. They

would always travel to a spot in the nearby wooded area around Evan and Mark's Neighborhood. Walking down a fairly narrow dirt path, they finally start to see

the big forested dome-like set of trees they called the Tree Dome. Evan trying to drain the main vain, he accidentally falls into a sinkhole

in the ground and yells out, "HEY GUYS, I COULD USE SOME HELP,I'VE SUNK INTO A HOLE AND I DON'T THINK I CAN GET OUT"!

Erick, Cris, and Mark quickly dash to Evan's rescue. Trying to pull Evan out of the hole, all of them fall in as soon as the side collapses under all their combined

weight. Realizing their fates, Erick lets out a remark fit for the situation.

"Well, we're fucked".
