Birth of a Legend

Prologue

In the dawn of time, Falana was watched over by the Elementals. We do not know their origins; only that they were born in their respective elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Lightning, Frost, Light and Darkness. 7 of the Elementals lived in harmony… 1 did not. The Dark Elemental has desired to rule all of Falana and had been suppressed by the other Elementals… and so began the battle that historians refer to as 'The Battle of Falana'. The Dark Elemental had rose an army of shadows against the others, determined to rid of them and rule over Falana as Emperor; but the other Elementals had prepared for such a war. The Elemental of Fire had raised Lava Golems and created Dragons to reduce the Shadow Army to ashes; The Elemental of Water had crafted, alongside with the Elemental of Lightning, a Kraken and a powerful thunderstorm to strike down the Shadow Army; The Elemental of Earth had given the Armies of Fire and Water earthen armor and summoned a Basilisk to assist in the war; The Elemental of Air had sent Harpies and Griffins against the Shadow Army; The Elemental of Light, wisest of all Elementals, crafted Weapons for all Elements but Darkness and sent in Angels of Justice against the Shadow Army. The Dark Elemental, however, was cunning; he forged himself a powerful greatsword: The Bane of Purity. He led the charge against the Armies of Fire, Water and Light and had slaughtered a great many number of soldiers. The war had continued for 10 long years, until The Shadow Army had finally let loose their greatest weapon: It was as tall as a mountain, completely made of shadows; its eyes glowed crimson red, it had hands the size of inns and its claws were powerful enough to slice a 50 acre forest in a single swipe, it had a muscular build and was only known as 'The Beast'. The Beast easily cut through the opposing armies, leaving only the Elementals themselves against the entire Shadow Army, but The Elemental of Light had one more trick up his sleeve. He had crafted a hatchet and whispered an enchantment to it "Whoever holds this Hatchet, who has a pure heart and cannot be corrupted, who knows compassion and shows determination, shall be the Champion against the Darkness." As the enchantment was complete, The Dark Elemental had broken into The Light Elemental's Fortress and witnessed him throwing the Hatchet out of the window into the river below. The Dark Elemental had impaled The Light Elemental with The Bane of Purity, but was shocked to discover that the other Elementals had one more plan: They covered The Dark Elemental by their own bodies and used every bit of power they have to entrap him into the center of the Dark Abyss, sacrificing themselves in the process. No one knows where the hatchet had gone after the war, but there is peace in Falana and the neighbouring regions. The Dark Elemental and The Beast bided their time in The Dark Abyss, creating another army in the case that they'll be freed. In the present time, Two Warmbloods: A boy with a pure heart but lack of combat experience and an assassin with a corrupt mind but fluent skills with the blade were merged into one body that us moonbloods refer to as the Seh-Mitharin named Dust, had defeated the genocidal General Gauis, giving his life in the process. After a duration of 2 months, Falana was at peace; Moonblood and Warmblood alike… but Peace cannot be kept forever. The fabled hatchet crafted by the Light Elemental is the only weapon that can truly kill The Dark Elemental, but historians and expeditions never founded it. The fate for Falana and its neighbouring regions fall not onto Dust… but to a young man…
