Long ago a temple had risen in India. The people of India believed it was sent from their Gods in the heavens. The people would go every day to the temple to praise it, and thank the Gods for sending the temple. A year later the Gods sent four green back crystals, that were the keys to opening the holy temple. The Gods had chosen four loyal, strong, and responsible leaders to hold the crystals. These leaders spent their days guarding the temple. Years later the Gods had sent a sacred scroll describing the temple. It was to remain as it was, and no one was to ever set foot in it, or destroy it in anyway. The leaders followed the orders of their gods and continued to guard the temple and crystals.
It wasn't too long before the news of the temple had gotten out. The leader of China, Xian, had gone to India to look at the temple. The leaders wouldn't allow an outsider visit their sacred holy temple. Xian offered thousands of dollars to just look at the temple, but India kept its temple secret. Xian had left India furiously the next day. He couldn't believe they didn't accept his offer. He soon had a plan. He was to attack India, and take the temple for himself and China!
After one year of complete silence, India woke up one morning to loud men shouting and running. It was China attacking the people of India! Xian burned down the homes of civilians, speared innocent women and men, and ran his horse over India's army men. The Gods had quickly given the leaders of the temple a message.
Take your crystals and leave India! It won't be long before the army of China, and Xian reach the temple. You four must run in four separate parts of the world, were it will be impossible to find the four of you at once. This way, China and all of the other trespassers will never step foot into the Guru Temple! The temple of India will always be here. Now hurry and leave!
The leaders did as they were told, and left India with their green back crystals. As Xian approached the temple, he stood in amazement. He held his bloody sword in his left hand, and ran his fingers on his right hand, down the wall of the Guru Temple.
"Where are those four leaders who denied I see this temple! I will make them cry for mercy!" yelled Xian. His men began searching the area. There was not one man to be found. Xian pounded the wall furiously and shouted in complete anger. Soon the temple door opened, and Xian smirked.
"The moment I waited for has finally come. Their Gods now listen to me." laughed Xian. Him and his men entered without caution. The wall shut tightly behind them. Xian ignored the wall, and looked around the dark room that they were in.
"Look over there!" shouted one of his men pointing to a room with a dim light. The light was shining down on a staff. Xian walked over to it and his eyed widened and sparkled as he looked at the most beautiful piece of gold ever! The staff was pure gold with pictures of four men holding four crystals next to four Gods. Xian laughed aloud.
"This is magnificent! I can feel its power already! It's drawing me closer to it!" Xian reached for the staff. He grabbed it tightly in his hands and raised it up with victory to show his men. They all gazed at it with amazement. They had never seen such a thing. Soon the staff sent purple smoke down Xian's arms, and soon enough down to his feet. He laughed. His men backed away. He soon was lifted off the ground and hovering in the air. Xian could feel his strength increasing! But suddenly the smoke turned red and Xian began screaming in pain. The staff had been burning the skin right off of Xian. He shouted and cried as it started boiling the blood inside him. His men were panicking! They were watching their leader die! Soon enough Xian fell to his death. The staff floated back into its place. The men ran to the wall pounding it trying to escape. Soon the staff let out red smoke that filled the room. They all were dying as well. Their screams couldn't be heard from outside the temple. They all suffered.
Even after the invasion was over, the men had never returned from their places. They were never seen again… and neither were the crystals.
