A/N- An idea that I had in mind to write this has been bothering me for some time, until I just brought myself to write it out. The story will go on into about 4 or 5 chapter atleast, since I'm still working on my main Castle fanfic. Leave a review if you like it so far!
Also, I was listening to Dream Evil - The Chosen One while writing the prologue.
Eons ago, in a parallel dimension…
The Ancients, an archaic humanoid race were fighting a brutal war against an opposing race known as the Obsidian. Eye color was plausibly the main reason for the army's warring; the Obsidian's eye color was black, so many believed the color was meant for evil, death, and denial, as were the Obsidians. Any other eye color that opposed black belonged to the Ancients' army.
The leader of the Ancients' army was known as "The Wise One", and he was chosen as leader for he did not have one eye color, but multiple. His eye color would change depending on his emotion. The Wise One hand-selected three Ancients from his own army to be part of a group called the Stoneguards. The Stoneguards' purpose was to help support the army in combat and tactics in The Wise One's absence.
Three Ancients consisted of the Stoneguards. An Ancient with red eyes, known as Sagaciter. Another with green eyes, known as Serpo. Another with brown eyes, known as Gladius. The Wise One never gave his real name, and the purpose for it remains unknown.
The Wise One's army held a psychic power, given to them by The Wise One to fight the Obsidian army. They held this power inside an orb, kept safe inside the altar of their fortress, known as the Castle. Three Castles were built as war fortresses for the warring ancient races.
The Wise One possessed two books, both of their purposes unclear to the Ancients, and only fathomable to the Wise One.
All the Ancients knew was that the Obsidians must all be massacred to save themselves from their own resource war. The Ancients believed the Obsidians were the cause of their lack of resources. This locked both races in combat.
The Ancients and Obsidians were at war.
- Not sure why, but I'm doubting the names I've given them. Most of them have an Elder Scrolls-type feel to it, while the Stoneguard's names were latin-translated. Leave a review if you think anything should be removed/altered/etc.
