A/N: Phew! I had this story in my mind for ages, now that I gotten it out of the way... This can be seen as a first chapter but can be skipped. It just gives some stuff that you might want to understand throughout the story (so basically this should answer any future questions). You can still understand the story if you don't read this chapter but thats if you like puzzles and such... Ah, and about the weird title, well I couldn't come up with anything else... so deal with it (Kufufufu)
Mafia Takeover
Chapter One: The Eight Wonders of the World
In the middle of the valley of sand were two young twins. Inside the underground fortress of Kokuyo, they wondered what their lord meant of rings and continents and the supposed dawn of a new era. They lye in bed, silently; though they were underground they could still hear the winds soothing whistles as it scooped up millions of grains of sand and let it pour back onto the earth. The twins cuddled closer to each other, trying there hardest to fall asleep. They did not understand why their lord mentioned them for becoming advisors for a different continent. They didn't even know what an advisor or continent was, as well as pacifiers and rings. They looked into mirrored brown eyes; they thought the same thing.
Their attention turned towards a presence outside of their room door. They heard the rusty knob turn and Mother Conello stood in between the door's frames. There was no use pretending to be asleep, the twins sat up in bed as the old woman walked over to the bed; her blue gown flowed behind her as if she were leaving a path of water. Mother Conello sat on their bed, baring her rare indigo eyes into theirs.
"I suppose you want to know what Mukuro- Lord Mukuro was talking about" she began, the twins tensed. So they were found out after all. The woman turned her head away for a slight moment, her blonde locks curled over the frame of her face, bringing out more of her beauty. Even though Mother Conello was indeed old, she had this unusual vibrancy. She let out a long sigh, and then stared up as her eyes drifted into a past.
"Listen well, Celeste, Elodia. I'm going to tell you a story of the world." The twins became extra attentive, even leaving the comfort their cover provided to remain alert. Mother Conello smiled at their act.
"There are four pillars that make up our world. Acrobaleno, Millefiore, Kokuyo, and Namimori. Each pillar has a significant duty to our world. The Acrobaleno oversee, Millefiore advise, Kokuyo masks, and Namimori protects. An order to carry out such important jobs the pillars own a powerful ring known as the four set phenomena. Are you with me?" the twins nodded in confirmation
"Good. The four set phenomena, of course, aren't absolute. No one knows for sure if the four pillars of the world wield these rings. But, in legend, the rings must be kept separate because they're cruel and immensely dangerous weapons; if all were to be joined it would mean disaster for the four pillars. " Mother Conello stared at the twins, their expressions were in utter awe. She chuckled lightly; they were so young and bright.
"That's all I'll tell you," the twins pouted in disappointment.
"Now now, don't give me that look it's time for bed," she said while tucking them twins into sheets and cover. She then left the room closing the door as well; leaving the twins to ponder over the true story of the four pillars of the world.
(Ten Years Later)
In our world there consist four major continents. Each continent serves as a superpower; the strongest being the Acrobaleno, and the other continents follow. Two emperors rule a continent, other than Arcobaleno. The emperors have a duty to their continent, protect. But emperors cannot always be relied on; to keep them in check each is provided with an advisor. The advisor only has power over an emperor's complex orders and decisions, nothing more nothing less. The emperors cannot carry out an order or decision unless all provided advisors agree with such order or decision. Under the advisors are kings. Each continent is divided into provinces (or countries) that are ruled by a single king or queen. The kings' duty is to keep check of their own province. Under the kings is the military. Their objective is pretty obvious, administer law and provide protection. Under the military is nobility. Nobles are used as icons to keep, what are known as the working class, under control. Such as, a noble can be worshipped, or seen as an important political icon, whatever makes the working class happy. This system of levels is called "scales". All levels of class have an important role in keeping a whole continent under control. If the scale becomes unbalanced the system will crash; though such a thing has never happened. As said before the emperors have an important duty to protect their continent but an order to do so they were provided, millennia ago, with powerful rings known as the four set phenomena. The rings contain power beyond human comprehension, which is why they must remain separate. If a certain someone were to gather the rings and use that unimaginable power, they would have the power to alter space and time itself. To nobles and the working class these rings are nothing but a myth. But to those who wield them and to those who surround the user, it's the pure truth.
