Over seas and jungles with fountains

Through the foggy forested mountains

And underneath the azure skies

There in a valley a kingdom lies

In this land, the people dwelled

For years in peace with joy unquelled

But like every story, it didn't last

Evil came, led my a man in a mask

They were outnumbered from the very start

But the kingdoms guardians fought with bravery, valor and heart

As the battle ensued, their numbers began to fade

So did their hopes, their heroes falling to the blade

Many fell both hero and child

prisoners watched as bodies were piled

On this day the aura guardians fell

Leaving the once happy kingdom in a metaphorical hell

All hope was lost, or so everyone thought

A child survived through all that was wrought

Through the chaos a few warriors dashed away

So they might live to fight some other day

Through the forest they galloped fast

That they might escape that man in the mask

Who is this man you say?

The on with eyes a melancholy grey?

His name is Michael, or so it is said

The one who put a bounty on every guardians head

Using tainted aura filled with hate, anger, and grief

To change the world or so was his belief

For now he won, taking over the kingdom poor

But there was another chance to win the war

Legends told of one who would rise

To save the kingdom, while it in waiting lies

It would take 15 years to come to pass

For the fated guardian to rise, who's name was Ash.
