On this planet, you see, there existed several divided and yet unified nations - Ice, Wind, Fire, Wood, Metal, Water, Psyche, Earth, Darkness, Light, and Elemental. Each nation was home to creatures with their respective psychokinetic abilities. Ice nation gave birth to Ice users. Fire nation was home to Fire users. Psyche nation was home to those of various psychokinetic abilities with no element to them, such as those who could make barriers or illusions, or were stronger than others with telepathy and telekinesis. The Elemental nation was the most unique, and at the same time, the most unoriginal. The Elemental nation was home to those who had skills in EVERY psychokinetic ability, though unlike other nations, had not mastered any of them.
This world, which would otherwise be in constant war with itself because of such differing abilities, was more like a utopia. Everyone got along with each other, and did what they could to keep themselves, each other, and the planet healthy. All the peace and prosperity of the universe could not match it, and it was all because of a single crystal that housed a powerful spirit known only as 'Holy'. This spirit passed on wisdom that brought peace and prosperity, and blessed the land and it's inhabitants with it's power, completely annihilating such things as anger, hatred, fear, animosity, jealousy, greed, and sadness.
Through time it was discovered that certain people could actually communicate with this spirit to different degrees. Those that could were the priests and priestesses that would act as messengers for both sides, and use the power that Holy would lend to them to assist others. However, Holy had made a prediction one day, and passed it to it's followers so that they would be wary for when the day came. This prediction - that a great evil would come to destroy the world, and that only a child would be able to save it - was heeded well. A worldwide militia was set up and trained, and the knowledge passed down through generations, so that when the evil came, it would not conquer them. Meanwhile, as a militia was formed, the people were introduced to advanced sciences to further protect them for when the evil came. These sciences were far advanced, allowing them to not only heal, but also make a means of escape, should the worst happen.
It started the previous day, which, as usual for that season, had been sunny and warm. While those of the nation of Ice did not particularly enjoy the warmth, as those of the Fire nation had, all appreciated the beauty that sunlight seemed to bring out of the local flora and fauna. Exotic flowers that carpeted the lands in all the colors of the visible light spectrum gave it an almost ethereal effect when the light of the sun shone on them. Everything seemed full of life. Yet such beauty and peace was the average day on this world. However, in the course of the day which consisted of the usual work in different classes, as well as training for the prophesied day no one really thought that the prophesied day would come so soon. A shining star shone in the fair blue sky, in spite of the sunlight. No one had heard of seeing stars during the day time, so out of sheer curiosity, nearly everyone was outside looking toward the heavens, wondering why a star was shining in the middle of the day. The only ones indoors were the priests and priestesses, who were in their respective temples, praying to their deity which they worshiped. Surely this was an ill omen. The priests and priestesses all hoped it was not what they feared, and prayed for wisdom, strength and guidance from their deity, which they had simply named Holy .
A mere two hours later, the star was now a giant moon in their sky, nearly blotting out the sun. Such a sight sent everyone into a panic. Was this the evil that was prophesied by Holy? An hour later, all would find out, when the star landed with a great crash and explosion in the middle of the Earth nation, killing hundreds there. Those who wanted to see what it was, or were sent to help whether it was of their own volition, or because they were asked to were the first unfortunate souls to be tainted. This star from the heavens was not an ordinary star. It emitted a black aura full of anger and hatred, with the will of murder. Those who got close enough were tainted immediately, their pure hearts and minds turned to evil. They immediately began attacking each other, and all others who, pure minded or not, dared to come close.
It began with the decimation with the Earth nation, since they were the closest. One by one, as other nations flocked towards the tragic Earth nation to assist them, other nations were tainted. Soon, the travelers who were tainted spread away from the star, taking the evil will with them and infecting others with it. In merely a day, the evil had spread, tainting every mind on the planet, even those of the Ice, Wind, Elemental, Light, Darkness, and Fire nations. The priests and priestesses, though much stronger in mind and will, were not exempt from this poisoning of their hearts and minds. What was once a peaceful world was now complete insanity.
However, in the Ice nation where the crystal that Holy had possessed rested safely, a priestess and her husband were the last to be tainted. They were the strongest priest and priestess in the land, and together had a daughter who, to the amazement of all, had far surpassed them in her first year of life. As evil and malice crept through the priestesses mind her husband s already poisoned completely, which was evident as he kept trying to kill her and their daughter she knew there was only one thing she could do to save her daughter, the born savior of their world.
With tears streaming down her fair face, hidden by her locks of beautiful ebony hair, and dripping onto the swaddled form of her baby girl, the priestess now fighting with all her might the evil that threatened to completely take her over and make her kill her only child - the world s only savior lay the girl in a pod that had been built collectively by the world s top scientists. She kissed the girl s forehead, the child crying and screaming in terror, fully knowing in spite of her young age what was wrong with the world, and closed the pod door.
My faithful guardian she said in a hoarse whisper, strained with the effort of trying to keep her own sanity, take the crystal with you. Wherever my daughter goes, go with her and protect her. I only regret that we could not train her better. My lady, said a young man, approximately seventeen years of age with hair as black as ebony, and eyes as blue as the ocean, oddly sporting the ears and tail of a cat, in spite of his human form, Do not blame yourself. She was too young to train. No one knew when this would happen. I promise, no harm will come to her. When the day comes, train her. I fear she may need it, wherever she goes. My lady, I cannot. I am merely a soldier and have no training of my own with JUST DO IT! the priestess demanded, her mind slowly slipping in spite of her efforts.
Yes, my lady. The lad said quietly with a polite bow.
The young man slipped into a pod of his own, holding the crystal which still glowed brightly in spite of the cloth it was wrapped in in his right hand, and just as he was closing the door, the priestess completely lost her mind. She was now nothing more than a raging animal, screaming and practically frothing at the mouth. She was like a rabid dog, and lunged at the pod that held the lad just as the door closed. She beat wildly on the pod, trying to break it open so she could attack the victim inside, but soon the pod was airborne, far out of her reach. She ran to the other pod, the one that held the child, and beat on it as well, hoping she could get to the young one inside. Her beatings ended up on a control panel next to the pod, hitting buttons all around. Her right fist whether it was on it s own, or somehow guided by one final glimmer of sanity made contact with the button that launched the pod. The last hope for that planet, as well as her guardian, were now gone, traveling to what her mother had hoped would be another planet that could sustain life, and thus sustain her daughter.
My child she thought to herself before all light was lost and she attacked her husband, landing on his sword, I am sorry I could not train you, or raise you. Please, grow up to be a strong woman And do not let what happened to us happen anywhere else
