In a time long past, an ancient civilization was on the brink of extinction from climate
change. The astronomers of this very civilization discovered a falling meteor set to crash into
their capital. The astronomers warned the king of the city, who commanded his royal army to
send his people into their bunkers, with the meteor crashing into the very center of the city taking
the casualties of eleven high-profile citizens. After the meteor debris subsided, the king and his
advisors examined the site of the crash. Shocked by the results, the casualties of the meteor was
revealed to be ten royal knights, as well as king’s daughter and her suitor.
After sending the casualties to the temple, the king ordered his builders to excavate the
crash site to find out what the meteor was and why it crashed into the center of the city. Hours
later, the builders uncovered a mysterious metallic object with indecipherable markings on it.
What they could understand was twelve symbols belonging to the elements of fire, earth,
lightning, nature, ice, water, supernatural, poison, wind, steel, and the mind. The king’s head
Upon placing the respective materials onto the symbols, the object glowed a violent
rainbow of colors reaching high into the heavens. Taken aback by the sudden flash of rainbow
light, the king took notice of the object’s mystical properties. Before anyone could react - the
object levitated upwards, positioning itself vertically - firing twelve beams of light towards a
particular building.

These shining arrows curved and bent around obstacles as they were alive and
intelligent. Stopping high in the air above a temple, these beams curved around in a spiral
striking the victims which housed the object. Following an explosion of colorful light far enough
to be seen around the world. The medics of the city went towards the inflicted, only to find them
to be in perfect condition as if they had never been harmed at all. After examining the patients
for any lasting physical damage, the medic began finishing up the reports to be sent to the king.
Once they arrived at the king’s palace, the inflicted told him the state of the object and
what it had done. Confused by this, the king pondered why this happened, though he could not
An astronomer ran into the palace crying out, “My liege! There is something
“Sir where is that voice coming from?”, the astronomer asked the king before resuming
“Someone find where that voice came from, guards keep the citizens calm, I want the
astronomers to keep tabs on the state of the moons and sky”, the king replied to his court.

He was told the voice came from the medical bay - the voice came from his very own
daughter. “What are you saying to me? That my own daughter Ariara spoke to the entire state?
“My liege, I went there and they said it the princess who spoke”, the guard nervously
retorted. Before the king could yell any further, the guard ran off to his usual post.
“My liege, what do we do now? There is still the eclipse to worry about”, the astronomer
Due to the sudden crisis on his hand, the buildup of stress got to the king, “Get my
daughter here, and the rest of them too. Summon my medic would you Larsyn? I need to be
calmed down.”
Not ten minutes later, the princess and the others arrived at the palace, for them to find

deed no one can take away”, Averm replied, “You should be praised for your commitment to
your bride. ”
“Thank you my liege, your forgiveness is well appreciated”, Euthern replied. Before they
could continue, a sudden darkness befell the entire city. The suns and moons had fully eclipsed,
“Calm down! We need to remain calm, astronomers keep observing the sky! I need intel
on how the populous is handling this! We need to know what is going on here”, Averm declared.
Upon hearing their liege’s command, they went onwards with their deeds, trying to make

cosmic event, “I ask the holy seven to protect my people from any harm and-”.

“We have families and loved ones to protect” Juliuch and Herai continued.
“We are knights chosen by the king himself”, Gorran and Valverus followed.
“Hmm. There is no one else I would fight with other than you ten”, Euthern said.
See Psyche, these people are the strongest people I know, Ariara thought to Psyche.
“Everyone one of you may face your fate in this crisis”, Averm declared to his knights,
A sudden sound of an ominous trumpet sounded across the world as the light of the
“Prepare for the fight for the world…no the entire universe!”, Averm concluded.
“Yes my liege, for Genesis and the universe!”, the knights declared.
Once they charged out towards of the trumpet, they found a portal as black as a starless
night with mysterious cloaked figure stepping out. As he reached the knights before him, he

“Euthern he does not mean-”, Ariara asked him while keeping her gaze locked on the

“What do you mean Psyche?”, Euthern yelled to Psyche before Euchus’s eye glowed a
dark green.
“Then we are going to fight for our kingdom, even if it costs us our very lives!”, Ariara
cried out.
“This is what we are meant to do, we will protect our people to the very end!”, Euthern
yelled.
At once all eleven warriors glowed in their respective colors, summoning forth the
elements.
“Fire! Earth! Lightning! Nature! Ice! Water! Spirit! Poison! Mind! Metal!! Wind!”, they
all cried out in order attacking Euchus will all the power they could muster.
As the dust cleared from their frenzy of attacks, Euchus stood completely unscathed from
their attack.
“What how did our attacks not work?”, Euthern fearfully asked.
“Fear”, Ariara said, “That’s why our attacks did not do enough damage as it should have.
“D-I-E”, Euchus exclaimed before striking the ground with such a strong force to cause the
capital of Genesis to sink beneath the very earth it was built on.
