Legend of the Gemini

Prologue- Birth of the Celestial

" Torch of Spirit,

Sought through five,

Drinking strength from emortal fire,

The Darkest Prism Sheds the Light,

Churning Beneath a Swirl of Salt,

Burning Within a Throne of Rock,

Floating Among the Eyes of The Ages,

Unmoored in The Stream of The Sky,"

" Sprits of heaven and earth,

The Celestial twins,

In the fire one shall sleep,

While the other floats among the stars above,

Hidden by the clouds and hidden by the smoke,

Until darkness threatens life,

The Gemini will sleep."

            It has begun….. The end of the world as we know it. Thousands of years ago a man, known as 'The Ancient' fought a great battle against an evil emperor names Tulpa. The Ancient won and banished Tulpa's spirit to the Nether Realm, but his armor still remained. In order to keep Tulpa from coming back the Ancient split Tulpa's armor into nine separate ones and scattered them to the winds. Over time four found their bearers but unfortunately so did Tulpa. These were the armors of Cruelty, Corruption, Venom and Illusion. These four became Tulpa's Dark Warlords. He then sat and waited.

            Tulpa rose again to take claim on the mortal world and he would have if not for the courage of five young boys who stood in Tulpa's way. Ryo of the Wildfire, Sage of the Halo, Cye of the Torrent, Kento of Hardrock and Rowen of Strata; the five remaining armors. After a long and hard battle those five boys, now known as the Ronin Warriors, defeated Tulpa and freed the Mortal Realm of his influence forever. They thought everything was done, the battle was over.

            They were wrong…….. DEAD wrong……

Ancient Japan~

            " Ancient. The nine armors have gone into hiding like you said."

            A young man in blue and white robes turned to face the youth kneeling by the door. His white hair fell past his shoulders unbound. " Good."

            The boy nodded and stood up. The Ancient raised an eyebrow when the boy did not leave. " I'm sorry Ancient but there are people here to see you. They claim they have been traveling for a long time." The Ancient nodded and the boy disappeared into the hallway to summon the visitors. The Ancient picked up his staff and closed his eyes, listening to the soft jingle of the rings. Footsteps brought him out of his trance and he looked towards the door. Three travelers stood there, one slightly behind the other two. The two in front were to men who looked no more than 18, one holding a sword while the other held a bow and quiver. The one in back caught the Ancients eye, all three were in samurai armor but the third member of the party was a girl, no more than 16. Her wavy blonde hair reached down to her waist and she carried a glaive in one hand.

One of the men, no more that 18 bowed quickly followed by the other two. The Ancient bowed in return.

            " Forgive us for bothering you Ancient. But my name is Lantis and the three of us have a favor to ask of you."

            " Go on."

            The girl stepped forward. The man with the sword seemed angry about the sudden intrusion of the girl but Lantis just held up his hand to silence his partner. " My name is Celest and…. Our home is in danger. We need you help Ancient."

            And so began the battle with an evil even stronger than Tulpa. DarkSide. And so the birth of the Celestial Ronins came.
