Thank you, and enjoy!
Prologue
The Five Cities were created after the war.
A war so malicious and unforgiving that it desolated the lands and everyone that lived in it. The Phantom Army ignited the fire that would destroy the people and led them to their deaths and they succeeded for the better part of 20 years killing off millions of the innocent and the guilty alike.
A noble warrior named Raymond Steele sought out five other noblemen and formed an alliance between them, uniting their people and defeating the Phantom Army.
The people who survived the battle of blood felt the heavily poisonous impact. When the war had finally ceased, the people, who were born into violence, turned against each other and nature soon followed their influence. The war-stricken with chemical use caused the majority of the inhabitants to become genetically modified, enhanced even. The people developed powers and this prompted more danger as the people were unaware of how to use it for the goodness of humanity.
The five noblemen decided to each form the Five Cities of Bravos, Yasaro, Illios, Kaorth, and Valeria in hope that they can prevent future occurrences such as these and keep the peace between lands. Harmony soon returned to the lands under this newfound order.
Each region was known for their talents and gifts, some more powerful than the last. Each person had their own gifts that could not be categorised but each region had a collective power.
Bravos was known for their flight and their ability to make an alliance with the air. They became the messengers of the five cities due to their swiftness and skill to travel for long periods of time.
Yasaro and its people along with their other gifts were famous for their ability to nurture. Their kind nature made them the largest produce providers in the world, shipping their crops for profit among the kingdoms.
Illios was known for its people's ability to read minds. It made them the city of justice and were looked up to for their undying honesty. It's where most of the kingdoms prisoners go to serve their sentence.
Kaorth was praised for their skills of forgery. Their innate skills of forming objects from stone, gold, silver made them quite wealthy in the eyes of the five kingdoms. They were the trade capital of the globe, often forming friendships with Yasaro.
Valeria housed the most powerful ones of them all. The place where the elite of the world live and stay. The people within Valeria had never had a solid power for their region as everybody had their unique talents which were hard to replicate and so, they gathered to be the protectors of the five cities. Their unpredictability meant they were both feared and adored throughout the realms.
All the while, every adolescent when they become of age are taken within the Bellevue. A training facility used to make them stronger and ensuring better protection for the kingdoms. The facility trains them to harness their powers and build their combat for a period of four years and when their stay terminates they can either choose to go back to their city or take a test to see if they are eligible to pick a new one.
The tests for the new choosers comes to light in the form of a mission within a simulation. The simulation tests not only their physical strength but also their strength within. After this is revealed, each chooser is given an animal in the form of their soul spirit, whether it be a bird, monkey or tiger. Each person is given the responsibility to care for the life of their animal.
For the first time ever, the simulation tests for this year's participants will be held within Valeria.
