Story:In ages long past, there was a war. This war involved humans and the many now-extinct races. Humans,along with the elves and angels, fought against the demons and the beasts of the Abyss. After a long and hard battle and taking many losses, the demons managed to bring about the end of the angels, while the creatures of the Abyss vanished along with the elves. The humans, the only remaining race, used the Forbidden Act, a ritual that would unlock the full potential in humans, and unleashed the newly aquired power on the now-weakened demons. The Four Arts, all powers that weren't meant for the hands of humans, were the abilities of Awakening, Jewel Sorcery, Magic, and Summoning. Using these four powers, the Humans brought about the end of the Demons. Thinking that the war was over for good, the humans tried to put the powers they had obtained to rest, but found that the price to pay for the power to fight back was great.

From that day forward, humans, in petty wars or skirmishes, blood-feuds and succession wars, used these powers, having permanately obtained them, and brought about the destruction of their fellow man. Though the ability to use an Art is something that would always remain the right of humans, the power had gone dormant, rarely awakening in a person. Because of this, war took its toll on the side that had fewer people that could use an Art.

One thing about the few people that could use the Arts was that a human never gained the ability to use more than one, but a prophesy that was brought upon the humans by the last demon, their king, said otherwise.

The Prophesies:The Prophesies are a series of vague glimpses into the future written down by a prophet of the humans, angels, demons, and elves. Hundreds were written, though few were actually saved from the flow of time. Most of these prophesies, though, are nearly undescipherable. Recently, however, a cloaked wanderer has been seen traveling with three girls. Reports say that he reads over each prophesy like it is a normal book and makes marks on a scroll as he finishes, as if translating what they mean or who the words refer to.


Prologue:The Guarand Woods, forming the border for several areas, is a serene place despite where it stands. Because of this, many children of different ages have managed to find their way here, living together like a family by living off the woods. This is where a change in history will begin, eventually covering the continent, and, over time, the world.



The Four Arts:
Awakenings
Awakenings, as the name implies, is an awakening of one's latent physical abilities. This may result, but is not limited to, increased strength, endurance, speed, and, in some cases, it can alter the user's body to a degree while in effect. Awakenings are the most common to be found in those with the ability to use an Art. Also, the Awakenings are divided into three classes:Beast's Awakening, Demon's Awakening, and Angel's Awakening; in the order of ascending strength. Awakenings didn't belong to any race prior to the Forbidden Act and took the powers of the other races to become reality. It is believed that this Art was something heretical as it brought the physical characteristics of other races into the bodies of human.

Types of Awakenings:
Beast's Awakening
Beast's Awakening, the weakest of the Awakenings, is also the only one that Awakenists, the users of Awakenings, ever attain. The stage increases the user's strength, endurance, and speed greatly, though not as much as the higher stages of Awakening. The side-effects that the Beast's Awakening has on the user's appearance include an obvious increase in muscle size, the growing of fur-like body hair, the lengthening of already existing hair, and a dark-red aura surrounding the user.

Demon's Awakening
Demon's Awakening is, in most cases, the most powerful Awakening humans of the modern age are capable of attaining. This Awakening, building upon the strength that was already bestowed by the Beast's Awakening, increases the strength of the user proportionally. Also, this stage gives the user access to Arcana, the magic usable by the demons of old, though rarely-if ever-has this ability been mastered. The effects that this stage brings about on the user's appearance are the growth of horns upon the head, reddening of the eyes, and a dark-blue aura surrounding the body of the user.

Angel's Awakening
Angel's Awakening, the most powerful of the Awakenings, was rarely attained during the war, let alone in this day and age. Not only does it provide the user with greater strength than the first two stages combined, but it gives the user access to the Angelic Arts. The effects on the user's body is the growth of wings, the number of pairs depending upon the strength of the individual using it, the changing of the user's eye color to gold or silver, and a golden aura surrounding the user's body.




Jewel Sorcery
Jewel Sorcery, as one would think, is the usage of an Art that revolves around jewels. It is possibly the rarest of the Arts to be found in a person. Thought to be weak by some, the ability to use Jewel Sorcery is arguably the most powerful of the Arts, depending upon the strength of the user. Jewel Sorcery has no limits in capabilities aside from those within the mind of the user. In other words, if the user believes it possible, in most cases it will be possible. Some basic uses of Jewel Sorcery include the forming of jewel-based weapons that are sharper-and far more durable-than normal weapons. Another power of Jewel Sorcery is to view into the past or near future by looking into a pre-existing jewel. Originally, the ability to use Jewel Sorcery rested solely with the elves, thus the reason why weapons of Elven origin were as powerful and valuable as they were.

Summonings
Summoning, the ability to call forth entities of great power, is another rare Art. Most Summoners can only summon the first of two entities while the gifted and truly powerful can summon the second. The first entity, usually no larger than a human and sharing the shape of a human, is powerful, but no where near as powerful as the second. The second, not only being more powerful, is also almost always extremely large and have their own thoughts and emotions. In most cases, the entity resembles, in some way, the Summoner. Only two entities can be summoned by any single summoner, the First Summoning and the Second Summoning, but they cannot be summoned in conjunction. The ability to summon rested with the demons originally.

The Two Summons:
First Summoning
The First Summon us the weaker of the two summons. Within records, the largest entity of this class was eight feet tall, but the one who summoned it was eight feet tall as well. That being said, the first summoning's size is always near that of the summoner's. It has no known emotions, though, in most cases, it goes berserk upon being summoned until it has been mastered. Once mastered, it follows any orders given by the summoner. Though it is the weaker of the Summonings, this entity is strong enough to kill groups of people that don't have an Art. Upon death, this summon will enter a stasis-like sleep, slowly regaining its strength until it is ready to be summoned again.

Second Summoning
The Second Summoning is something different from the first in many ways aside from strength. The size of the second entity varies between summoners. This summon, unlike the first, has emotions, that, usually, resemble the summoner's, but, in some cases, can be the opposite. Though having opposite emotions will hinder the relationship of the two, the actual results have never been recorded. The power of the second summon varies from the first in that it has access to a large array of high-level anima and pure-energy blasts and extreme physical strength. If this summon dies, the summoner's life will soon follow.



Magic
Magic, the most common Art found in humans, actually belonged to each race other than humans in different forms. Though it is the largest of the Arts in terms of sheer usage, much of it can't be used even for the gifted. The only Magic that can be used in the form of Arts by humans is that that the elves once used. The others, belonging to the angels, demons, and beasts of the Abyss respectively, have not once been used by humans aside from Awakenists.

Branches of Magic:
Anima
Anima, the magic that humans have access to and was once used by the elves, is the magic of the elements. Magic of this category can control fire, wind, water, ice, lightning, earth, and the foundations of the world. Though it has not been seen since the war, Animists, users of Anima, could once use multiple elements at once, creating spells of great strength called the Hybrid Arts. The strongest Anima, the Forbidden Arts, haven't been seen since the war as well. These spells, requiring incantations that rhymed, were the most powerful of Anima and could cause damage to the earth as a whole if left alone.

Arcana
Arcana, once used by the demons and beasts of the Abyss, is the magic that rests with the darkness. The only way this branch can be used by a human is through the power of the Demon's Awakening. Though little is known about this branch, it is, by far, one of the most dangerous to control. Though it requires incantations, strangely enough, the human language suffices in its usage.

Angelic Arts
Angelic Arts, as the name implies, is the magic that was used by the angels. Aligned with the light, Angelic Arts are the easiest to control of the branches of magic and can be used in many ways. This branch requires an angel's feather and incantations in the Angelic language. Aside from the war, no one has ever recorded a human's use of the Angelic Arts, and, because of this, nobody knows how powerful it is.



Places:
Guarand Woods:Woods near the Imperial Capital of Emelg, the Guarand Woods are large, serving as the border of Emelg and Bordax's neutral grounds. Believed to by uninhabited, the woods have been left alone, used mainly by thieves and deserters. However, deep in its serene reaches, a group of children from the ages of five to eighteen live like a merry family.

The Coneo Market Town:A town ran by thieves, slavetraders, and a highly organized mafia. Though it isn't far from Bordax, the town has no interactivity with Bordax whatsoever, mainly due to the influence that the Knights of Corma, an order of knights with a supposed "divine mission", had on that area.

Cerobi Plains:The Cerobi Plains, the area between Coneo and Bordax, lies in the middle of the Knights of Corma's area. Aside from the fact that many roberies have happened in this area, it doesn't have many notable features.

The Headquarters of the Order:This building, the Headquarters of the Order of the Knights of Corma, is located a short distance away from Bordax, one of the reasons that the city has been able to remain neutral. The knights, being neutral themselves, protect the city along with survivors from the bandits' attacks.

Bordax:Bordax, known as the Free City Along the Coast, is a neutral city, holding no allegiance with any country or lord. Because of this, many refugees from a recent blood feud have fled here.




Rules:

He likes to play with Lilim, one of the few children in town who appreciated his musical abilities, and protects her when bullied. His mother and father died in a fire at an early age, so he has mostly lived with Lilim's family, and now usually finds it hard to talk to adults because of the pain from the loss of his parents.

She's only been in the forest for about a month when she stumbles over the group.

Gelane and Hasuki were in the Guarand Woods,a good distance away from Brand,who was hunting.As the two continued down a slope,Gelane tapped Hasuki on her back,hard enough to send her down.
"What was that for?!"She growled at him,getting up.
Gelane laughed as he reached the bottom of the slope,"I'm not sure."

Right in front of Eli,Gelane jumped from the bushes,barely avoiding a dagger swipe from Hasuki."You'll have to try better than that!"He laughed,jumping over roots of a tree.
Hasuki flipped one of the daggers with her wrist,sending it flying at Gelane,who dodged as it went into a tree."Idiot."She growled,unaware of Eli standing next to her.

Kio ducked under a branch, which Lilim didn't notice and got smacked in the face, causing her to fall. "Owie" she said, rubbing the red mark on her forehead. Kio helps her up, "you should be more careful, I promised your parents I would make sure you would get there in one peice, it would be very hard to do that if you keep hurting yourself like that." Lilim hides her face in shame, "I know." Kio pats her on the shoulder to cheer her up, then they both move on through the forest.
