In centuries past, when the moon was whole and plentiful, the three elder sages summoned a meeting with the four lords from each land. The sages had sensed that war was about to declared between the lords and that the collapse of each nation would be certain . On that day The Scroll of Unity was signed and sealed by ancient curses. It stated that peace was to be held for one thousand years, the cost of braking this deed was a fate far worse than death.
"This is madness!" roared Kandora, the Land of Earth's lord. "We can't just overthrow the Land of Air, what about The scroll of Unity? Have you forgotten, you contracted your soul to a thousand years of peace just as I did!". Riax rose from his seat and casually walked to the window. He stood motionless gazing out into the fields of marsh-green grass. "Madness?" Riax's husky voice echoed throughout the room, "No, this is destiny. It's meant to be this way". Kandora picked up a piece of paper and started examining it. "Riax, we can't take advantage now that the sages have moved on. Their spirits will find ways of punishing us! I refuse to help you!". Riax sighed, he turned around and made his way to the door, "Fine, if your won't help me, your of no use to anyone". He clicked his fingers, the room was swallowed by darkness. Kandora started to pant heavily, "What's going on? Riax?". Demons of fire rose from the ground, Soon the whole room was engulfed in flames. Faint screams could be heard by Riax who was now halfway down the spiral staircase, "It's destiny, it's meant to be this way!" he murmured to himself.
Nysauth, the third sun of the world, shone onto the sleeping fire village. Rays of light reflected off the many of the village windows making the water in the center moon-well shimmer and sparkle. The old bell, that hung gracefully from the top of Fire Tower, rang out. The sleeping village had awoken. Crowds of people gathered outside their houses to see what was going on. The two grand doors which stood at the entrance to the village slowly opened. There, in the doorway stood a tall man with long black hair covering half of his face.
The people gossiped among themselves as the man started making his way towards the tower. "The master has returned!" whispered one women to her husband as he walked passed them. A red haired man stood at the tower door, "Well well, looked who it is". The black haired man gazed into his eyes, "Kuro, it's been a long time". Kuro stepped forward, "Too long if you ask me Lord Riax". Riax smiled and started to laugh, "Good to see you brother". Kuro joined in, "As it is to see you, Please come inside". The two men entered the doors to the tower. The crowd stood in silence for a few moments before returning into their houses to continue the day.
