I'm so glad people like my story!! This chapter won't have anyone in it, though, except at the end. This chapter will tell about the Black Orb and stuff.
Chapter 3: The Guardian
"...Back when demons, humans, everything lived together in one world. During this time, a species called Black Hearts lived. They were exactly as they sound. Evil, cruel creatures. Demon in appearance, they ruled over the world. They were powerful, and caused even the strongest demons to be weak. Disease, death, and destruction was everywhere. The leaders of the Black Hearts were the 5 Black Lords, the strongest and most evil. They ruled over different parts of the world, and each had a powerful amulet that was part of their power. Should the amulets be destroyed, the 5 Black Lords would not exist."
"The people that lived in fear wanted the Black Hearts to be destroyed, but with all their power, they knew that they wouldn't even be a match for a medium level Black Heart. So they asked for someone to help them. No one knows where It came from. It was born in the darkness of the core. It rose through fire, earth, water, air, and finally light, gaining each of these elements as it rose. It had been born from the people's prayers. When they had prayed, asking, begging for help, parts of their essence, their souls, had combined to give Life to the Creature. It had no true form. As It came forth, It gazed at the Earth, at the people, and flew across the world, destroying the Black Hearts, all except the weakest, and the 5 Black Lords. The Black Lords's amulets had protected them from destruction, and were instead they were locked away, banished, never to be seen again."
"The Creature, the Guardian as the people called It, had done what It had been asked to do, and so, It died. It became a Silver Orb. The people came to It, grateful for what It had done. It suddenly glowed, and split into one large White Orb, and one small Black Orb. The White Orb was part of the Guardians soul, the goodness in it, and the Black Orb was the evil part of the soul, for no soul is ever truly good or bad, even the Guardians. The evil had come from the act of killing, even killing those that had acted evil, and the evil had also come from the people's evil within their souls as well. A group of people, later called the Protectors, buried the Black Orb deep beneath the Earth, to try and keep people from using the Power it contained. They burned the White Orb, so that the soul would be reborn, for the Protectors had foreseen the rebirth of the new Guardian. They said that It would come back, but only after great evil had once again threatened the Earth, and after great danger. They wrote all this down, and hid the scrolls."
"As this went on, the weak Black Hearts gained followers, and these followers search for the Black Orb. The weak Black Hearts pretended to be ordinary demons and fell into waiting."
"The Protectors eventually died, and the Scrolls became forgotten. Life went to the way it had been before the Age of Evil. Dragons, and other magickal, and spiritual creatures protected all, demons protected humans, humans protected animals, animals proteced the Forest, and the Forest protected those that lived within it. But time went on and people forgot, as people do. Demons became powerful, humans got greedy, animals wild, and the Forest overgrown. The magickal and spiritual creatures decided that they needed seperate realms, and so created Ningenkai for the humans, Makai for the demons, and Reikai for the spiritual creatures to watch over the humans, and the magickal creatures stayed in Makai. The humans forgot about demons, except for myths, and became ignorant. Demons didn't care, and they too forgot, and the Reikai were to busy dealing with the humans, and the legends and the Scrolls were almost forgotten. Almost."
"Hundreds of years later, a group of people found the Scrolls. They were able to read parts of the Scrolls, and began searching for the Guardian. The call themselves the Legendkeepers. They also discovered that a person was given the knowledge of the legend, and the location of the Black Orb. When that person died, another was chosen, but as time went on, parts of the location was forgotten. The Legendkeepers also searched for this person, and discovered that the person always was able to control at least one of the elements that the Guardian was part of. The person was given the title Guardian of the Orb. The Legendkeepers live to this day, and they make sure that the current Guardian of the Orb understands the legend, and that they understand that the knowledge is secret. The only people that are aware of the legend, aside from the Guardian of the Orb and the Legendkeepers, are the Followers, and the descendents of the weak Black Hearts." Mira said, finishing her long story.
The group looked at her, each thinking in wonder about the story just unfolded to them. Yusuke was the first to find his voice, "If this knowledge is 'forbidden', then how do you know about it, being a slave?"
"Isn't it obvious? I'm the new Guardian of the Orb. I have been for about a year or two now. The knowledge is given in a dream. I don't know the location of the Orb, exactly, but I do know where the Black Lords are sleeping, and how to destroy the amulets." Mira told him.
"I have a question for Koenma, though. You said that she was the only easily obtainable person that would tell us about this legend. How did you know this?" Kurama asked.
"The Followers know who is part of the Legendkeepers, and who the Guardian of the Orb is. We were able to find out from them." Koenma answered.
"Ok. I have a question too. What are we supposed to do now?" Kuwabara asked.
"Think, fool, or is that to hard for you to do? We obviously need to destroy the Orb." Hiei said.
"Hey, I'm not a fool, shrimp! If you keep calling me a fool, I might have to pound you." Kuwabara said, walking over to Hiei.
"ENOUGH! Do you always have to fight? He's right, it is obvious what has to be done." Mira said, stepping between Hiei and Kuwabara," And Hiei, you could TRY not to taunt him, couldn't you?"
"The Orb isn't our problem right now." Koenma said.
"What? Then what is?" Yusuke said.
"The 5 Black Lords are. The reason we even found out about this is because the Followers know what region the Black Orb is. They also are looking for the Black Lords. They say that the Black Lords are awakening from their sleep that they were put in during their banishment." Koenma said.
"So, we need to find these powerful, evil Black Lord guys? Great. No one even knows where they are. Why do I have to get the difficult missions?" Yusuke complained.
"Weren't you listening to Mira? She knows where they are." Kurama said.
"Well, I know the area of one. Taatsae, the first one, was banished to water. His 'tomb', I guess you could call it, is deep beneath the ocean. His amulet has a sapphire in it. All the amulets have to be destroyed at the same time. We'll figure that part out when we find them." Mira said.
"Great. Let's get this over with." Yusuke grumbled. Once again, a difficult mission. I want a break!, he thought.
"Lets go!" Kuwabara shouted enthusiastically.
Well, what do you think? I got the idea about the legend one night, sitting, reading fanfiction, and it just, came to me! Sapphire-Water, ruby-fire, emerald-earth, and diamond-wind, right? So what would be snow/ice be? In case you can't figure it out, each of the lords are in an area that matches their amulets, so I need to know snow/ice's jewel. Can anyone help me with that? Please review! Good, bad, what? Bye.
