A great light suddenly appeared in the night sky, so bright that every single living thing was blind for a few minutes, then it faded away. But..when people went to investigate it, they soon found that the center of their entire world was nothing more than a massive desert. Including the great Elvish City of Aulou, where a pillar of great magic stood. For many weeks, people have no idea what happened, until one day, a man mysteriously appeared from the desert. He was near death, bandaged from head to toe, his flesh was sun-dried with no ounce of water in him.
As he lay on his back, near death, he handed his nurse a single silk sheet..one the side of it was a poem...
"Under a twilight sky they
came, with torches and fire and light.
Orcs and Humans all alike,
come to storm the city Aulou
The Armies clashed with the
Elves, together their swords clashed so bright
But unknown to the armies
three, the war was merely a ruse.
Three beings unnatural, three
who don’t belong in this world
The war was false against
Aulou, the three were driving it all.
Death in the brightest city
came, to create a twisted whirl.
And lure their beloved Sister,
and bring her to their Master
And then, by the moonlight
night, the female beast they sought had come.
Her hair was long and seemed
as fire, eyes as gold as the moonlight light
She came to protect the city,
and repair what has been done.
To remove her three brothers,
even if it meant their own doom.
Their they came one at a time,
the first one was known for his might
He was the Master’s muscle, a
great thug who could kill dragons
Yet he could not defeat her,
she was far too fast for his sight
Her nails found their way to
his head, soon enough he was no more.
The second came to face her,
the one who brought forth fear and dread
His spirit claimed the orcs as
his, sent them to the city to kill
His power makes all creatures
insane, and to the city they tread.
Yet even through his power he
fled, his sister subdued him
The last of the creatures she
faced, the last of the brothers grim.
He can take many faces, and he
can set the greatest lie.
His words sends Humans against
Elves, his lies making them dark and
brim
Yet the sister did not find
him, he hid from her at all turns.
Despite all the battle and
blood, the fear and dread that the three made
A light appeared into the
night, burning like hot fire in the sky.
Soon the light was no more, as
was the city, people and blade
Leaving only a desert, forever
bare of any life.
Our heroine, the person that
came to save us has left.
To this day…the unnaturals
will be forever enemies.
The stage has been set…"
It is unknown if the man from
the desert was the poet himself, or found it and carried along with him…nor is
it truly clear if the unnatural creatures that were seen were anything…but it
became obvious when people realized that the woman with fiery red hair was the
Homunculus Cheron, a great warrior and friend to the Elves.
As time went on, this poem
became known throughout the land. It is
heard far and wide and also because of this, most people deem the Homunculus,
the four they knew of, to be enemies. No
one knows their names, nor who the three brothers were…but they all agree…all
Homunculus are deemed unnatural and evil.
