Prelude
Long ago, when the pyramids were still young, Egyptian kings played a game of great and terrible power. But these shadow games erupted into a war that threatened to destroy the entire world until a brave and powerful pharaoh locked magic away…
However, in the midst of the pandemonium, this wasn't the only warfare that raged…
Among the sorcerers who had released dark magic into the world, one of the many held a personal vendetta against the Pharaoh himself…Scorpius. His desire to take the throne himself was slaughtered by the Pharaoh's father himself.
Full of misery and wrath he studied dark magic for many years before betraying him and releasing dark magic in an attempt to destroy all those against him. In the world's desperate hour, the Pharaoh quickly formed a group of four warriors, including himself. He had called three of his companions…
Seto, his high priest, who had taken up a sword so pure that no evil could desecrate it…
Jono, a childhood companion, ready with a sword, thoroughly purified by expert magicians, so strong it could cut through rock, but never metal…
And Rehema, a dark brunette servant girl for the Pharaoh who had much fighting experience, taking her forever resting mother's scepter into her hand.
With all of them summoned to battle, the Pharaoh himself was lent a staff from one of his most trusted servants. Black clouds of doom hovered over Egypt itself before they even got there, and a small amount of men, women, and even children had their lives spill away from earth during the malevolent sorcerer's attack.
The four rode into combat on two dragons, Jono and the Pharaoh riding upon a black dragon with red eyes, and Seto and Rehema on the white dragon with blue eyes, both dragons having been summoned from their stone tablets with magic, and the battle began. Scorpius had attacked with his own red eyed gray dragon, Diabolos. Magic of light and darkness flew in all directions, frenzying throughout the whole battle between these warriors and the wicked sorcerer, and even the dragons attacked and wounded each other. Then, the Pharaoh performed an act that Scorpius did not expect.
Ripping the headpiece he wore to prove himself as Pharaoh from his head, he let it fall from his hands. Seeing his chance, Scorpius commanded Diabolos to charge for the headpiece, and the dragon thrust downward, lusting to fulfill his master's command…
The white dragon with blue eyes, carrying Seto and Rehema, clamped its mouth around his neck.
With his dragon dying, the sorcerer had no choice but to land in front of the palace. His dragon's breath ended the second they landed, leaving the sorcerer in grief. By the time the warriors landed, wrath burned ahead of sorrow. The four called their dragons back to their tablets to settle the massacre with a battle of swords and magic.
The struggle ensued for what seemed like eternity, blood spilling every second, but when Scorpius had bowed to attempt a sneak attack, Jono and Seto thrust their swords forward, catching his cape and pinning him to the palace wall, enabling Rehema to paralyze him. The Pharaoh, then transmuting his staff into a long sword, lunged for him…
And stabbed the evil sorcerer in the heart.
When his dying breath finally concluded, he dissolved into the air, never to be seen again for many years. But the time to celebrate hadn't come yet. To defy his return, the warriors broke the one and only item that could strengthen him, a dark mirror known as the Mirror of Nightfall, into four shards and masked them deep into the sands of Egypt.
Ever since then, the people of Egypt recognized these brave warriors as the Divine Aurora. But little did they realize that this was only the beginning, and that Scorpius promised vengeance upon them.
