Lorien is the home world of the Loric. Lorien is one of the eighteen life sustaining planets in the universe. The other two that are mentioned are Earth and Mogadore. It appears that Lorien is somewhat sentient, as Lorien itself is the source of the Garde's powers and the intelligence of the Cêpan, given as thanks for the effort put into fixing the damage (pollution and such) that the Loric had caused.
Lorien is ten times smaller than Earth, putting its circumference around 2 490.15mi (4'008km), compared to Earth's 24,901.55mi (40'075.16km). Another comparison is that the circumference of Lorien is just slightly smaller then the actual distance between Seattle, Washington and Orlando, Florida.
The planet is also the fourth planet from its sun and has two moons. Mogadore is closer to earth than Lorien. 25,000 years ago, Lorien was in the same situation Earth was now; temperatures were rising, pollutants were clogging the air, and animals were dying off.
Around this time, referred to as the Dark Ages, the planet was at a crossroads between the desire for rapid development and a need to protect that which was natural and life sustaining. This was a time of needless war with many casualties though not a lot is actually known about this period, it is even a mystery to Loriens greatest historians. One known conflict, known as the Secret Wars between Lorien and Mogadore, was covered up to protect the utopian image of modern Lorien.
The Loric, similar to humans now, realized that something had to be done to protect the planet and began to live a harmonious existence with it. At some point after this, the Elders found what is known as the Phoenix Stones and the planet itself gifted some of the population (later to be known as "Garde") with special powers to protect the planet and shapeshifting creatures known as Chimæra began living amongst the Loric. The planet and its inhabitants enjoyed millennia of peace.
Cêpan, are a subspecies of the Loric species who do not possess Legacies. The Cêpan are responsible for running Lorien. They are also responsible for helping the Garde to develop, control and master their Legacies. After the genocide on Lorien by the hostile race of Mogadorians, the Cêpan assigned to the chosen Garde traveled to earth with them. Once on the planet, they separated with their Garde child and set out on their mission to protect and train them.
The Garde are the Loric citizens of Lorien that possess Legacies. All Garde are endowed with superhuman strength, speed, reflexes (agility), endurance, and durability, which they are born with and hone as they continue to mature into adulthood. From an early age, they are separated from their parents and are raised by their grand parents and assigned Cêpan. At the age of Eleven they are taken to training academies where they work with their Cêpan to monitor and develop their legacies. The Garde with the greatest potential attend an academy program at the Lorien Defence Academy itself. The Garde are known as the defenders of Lorien.
Four is the great-great grandson of Lord Pictaruis Lore. He got his first Legacy at five years old. His first legacy was Enhancement- Strength, Speed, hearing, Leaping/Jumping, Agility, Endurance, Flexibility, Dexterity, Sight. His Second legacy was Animal Telepathy (Zoopathy)- the ability to communicate with animals through indirect speech and mental imagery. And any animal on the planet. His third one was Magnetism/Magnokinesis - The ability to create, manipulate or control various types of metals, with varying properties and alloys.
His fourth one was Technokinesis- the ability to control and manipulate technology. His fifth one was Lumen- It allows a Garde to produce beams of light from the hands and be externally resistant to fire and heat. Pyrokinesis (Fire manipulation) can develop from this Legacy. The sixth one was Telekinesis- It is a Legacy bestowed to all Garde. It is the ability to move anything with the mind, with or without movement of the body.
Because of his Lumen he can shoot beams of energy out of his hands and can power other legacy's energy up. And because of his Pyrokinesis he can have fire all over his body and through fire balls. Brandon taught him how to use his powers and how to fight hand to hand and with other weapons. When Four was ten and Six was two their parents decided for them to get married when they were older to combine their family's.
As he got to know his people, they started to look up to him because he was advancing with his powers just like Pictaruis Lore. His parents gave him 20 Chimæra, the one he liked more was Hadley that were all kinds of shapes and sizes. He was enrolled into the Lorien Academy but was transferred into the Lorien Defense Academy. One day he had a vision but he didn't think it was real but he decided to prepare just in case. He had Telchnokinesis and Magnokinesis to make ships and weapons that use your own energy to fire blasts of energy, he did this for two years.
He started showing signs of Precognition- It is the power to perceive possible future events before they happen. It can manifest in dreams. Invisibility (Chameleor)- A legacy that allows a Garde to be unseen and undetectable by motion sensors. Super Intelligence - The ability to have intelligence far beyond any other standard Garde. He use that Super Intelligence to help make his weapons and ships.
He decided just in case he had most of Lorien in a clearing in the woods to watch some fireworks that were going off, and that was the day they attacked. They destroyed all the ships and a lot of buildings. The elders gathered him and nine more kids and ten Cêpan, to were two ships were waiting with ten Chimæra that were to go with them.
When they put that charm on them and tried to get him to go with them he said no and ran to fight the Mogadorians While calling the Chimæra and gathering his people to attack them. The Chimæra would change into different creatures, some Piken, Krauls and other Mogadorian creatures.
The Garde's were using their legaices, like shotting flames, laser, kighting, ice, rocks, energy blasts, plants, air, water, metal,pladma, electricty and telekinesis. Some flying around, some making copies of themselves, running around very fast, some hand to hand combat because they have Super using light and shadows, some stoping time, creating illusions, manipulating matter, absorbing energy and redirecting it,some making force fields and some mimicrying other powers.
For awhile there were pushing them back but they kept on coming, so they retreated to the forest and helped the people get on the ships. He made sure the parents of the nine were with him and the ten Cêpan families were with him to. He made sure the women and kids got on first. Because the kids needed to be protected, and the women would take care of them. He had the Chimæra turn into the smallest creature they could to save some space.
But eventually they couldn't fit everybody on the ship because they ran out of ships and space. So they wished them good luck gave them some Mogadorian's weapons to use. The last ship was for the the materials from Lorien.
They picked up the two ships trials and followed them to a planet called Earth. When he got to earth he couldn't find the ships but he did pick up a signal from some very-very-old ships that crashed and are in pods so they don't age. It took him seven years to get the people out and alive.
He took over as the leader of his people because the woman that was the captain of the ships said his family were the Kings way back before they came up with the Elders. So he started training the Cêpan that came with him with and the experience Cêpan from the ships, with sword, daggers, his energy guns, earth guns and hand to hand. Four then stared to train the Grade in their legacy's and weapons they had. He also had them using the weapons from Lorien that he had been stockpiling up in case of a emergency.
Four had the Garde train into hand to hand combat and weapons, like swords, guns and the materials from the ship. While the Cêpan taught them, had them training none stop with their Lagices. He had the order Loric's teach the kids with the older Cêpan's helping them.
He set up schools that taught them there history, their enemy's history, Earth history's. Had them watching battles of Lorien and Mogadorian's and Earth. The space ship had 700,000 Cêpan's. They would help in the war because they needed more soldiers.
'Now, I just have to find the nine Garde and twelve Cêpan's.' Four thought. Because they are out there all alone, with out no help.
