Prologue:
Providence was an ordinary world once, very little happened in the way of crime and dishonesty, and there was a peaceful co-existence among the people. Then, one fateful day, the sky was split asunder and to the amazement of the people another world could be seen in the sky. But this world was very unlike their own, the water was blue, the earth was brown, a blue sky moved across the land and the fires burned red.
Raya a Pluto Adept of Kiijaam was intrigued by this world and traveled to The Eternal mountain the sacred peak, where the center of this other world was fixated. As she arrived an argument was raging amongst the people at the peak, as she approached the group a small stone caught her attention. It was simply sitting on the ground in the center of the group, curious about this stone she reached out to pick it up. A hand shot out from the group and caught her arm before she touched it.
Man1-“Do not touch the stone!”
Raya-“Why are you forbidding me to touch this stone?”
Man2-“Because, another has touched it...and....she's gone...”
Raya-“Who is gone? Where did she go?”
Man2-“My wife touched the stone, then she disappeared! We are trying to decide what to do with it.”
Raya-“Please let me try something...i have a theory, no not fret i shall not touch it.”
Then Raya closed her eyes and concentrated on her teachings. She opened her eyes and she yelled:
“Lift!” and the stone rose into the air. Suddenly the stone began to glow and shot towards her,
coming to a stop in the air in front of her face.
Man2-“No! You mustn't....you'll...”
Raya-“I'll what, father? Discover my fate? This stone does not kill, it simply moves people.”
Raya’s Father-“How can you possibly know that?”
Raya-“Because, I know.”
And before anyone could stop her she grabbed the stone...
Man1-“This cannot be!”
Raya-“How....how am i still here! This stone was supposed to take me to a place where i could learn
my fate!”
Raya’s Father-“This stone my not take you to your fate, but it is linked with it. Only you have been
able to master the Pluto Kiijaam. And it clearly reacted to it!”
Man1-“Let us return to the village, we shall figure this out there.”
Chapter 1:
Unable to unlock the secrets of the stone it was passed down generation after generation for hundreds of years. Over the years the people learned that the other world was polluting Providence, covering the Eternal mountain with it’s own elements, creating fatal diseases, and mutating the creatures into violent monsters. Claire, the most recent holder of the stone, was sitting in her favorite spot, thinking, when her good friend Alex came to visit her.
Alex-“Amazing isn't it?”
Claire-“What is?”
Alex-“It's amazing that, that stupid stone could cause all that has happened to this world.”
Claire- “Now, Alex, we don't know that for sure! It could be something else.”
Alex- “No, it isn't, just hear me out. I took a look at a painting of the other world, it's from the days when it was new and our world was clean. That world is shrinking...”
Claire- “What? What do you mean shrinking?”
Alex- “I mean exactly as i said, it's shrinking, the continents are smaller, the edges are moving and the sea flows off the side. And how else do you explain the fact that all the land around The Eternal mountain looks like their world?”
Claire- “What are you getting at Alex?”
Alex- “Don't you see? Their world is moving into ours! Their world isn't just disappearing it's coming into our world!”
Claire- “Well what do you propose we do about it?”
Alex- “Take the stone back.”
Claire- “Back? Back where?”
Alex- “To their world.”
Claire- “WHAT? Are you insane? For one thing how do you plan on getting there? And another, how do you know that these diseases aren't caused by their world too?”
Alex- “I know these diseases are caused by there world, but only when it combines with ours.”
Claire- “What?”
Alex- “The danger zone is where it is only partially their world, they have different elements. But once you get to The Eternal mountain it is clear again because it is only their elements.”
Claire- “How do you know this?”
Alex- “I know, because i traveled to the peak.”
Claire- “You made it there?”
Alex- “Adepts are unaffected by the diseases.”
Claire- “Unaffected? That's impossible!”
Alex- “Have you ever met a sick Adept? Me and June went there.”
Claire- “That still doesn't explain how you didn't get sick, or prove that Adepts are unaffected!”
Alex- “June got sick, i didn't, i have been studying Neptune in secret.”
Claire- “June is sick? Is this about revenge? Do you think that going to the other world will save her?”
Alex- “Yes, i believe it can save her but i do not care for revenge.”
Claire- “....We still need to find a way to get there...”
Alex- “No, we simply need to do a few things to get there. At the peak i learned that there is not 1 but 4 of these stones...each one reacted to an Adept and have been passed down the same as yours, I will go to the west, there is a town there of Neptune Adepts.”
Claire- “Have you been there?”
Alex- “Yes, that is where i train, i do not go to Karroc for school, i go there. And i will need you to head east, there is a village that way that holds the Saturn star.”
Claire- “Saturn star?”
Alex- “Yes, the stone that is aligned with the element of Saturn. Go there and retrieve it, i do not know where the Uranus star is located but i know you will find it, once we have all 4 we will be able to go to the other world from The Eternal mountain. Gather the 3 and meet me there, i shall bring the Neptune star.”
Claire- “What kind of excuse are we going to use for our absence?”
Alex- “The truth, we're going to save our world. But we will leave a note, and leave during the night. You must get ready, we leave tomorrow night”
Claire- “OK, Alex, tomorrow night. By the front gate?”
Alex- “No, we must go out through the forest.”
the next night....
Alex- “Are you ready?”
Claire- “Yes Alex i'm ready, i can handle myself.”
Alex-<smiles> “Hmm, you'll find it different being among people you don't know, but i believe you can handle yourself. Good luck, meet me at the peak of The Eternal mountain in 1 months time, or sooner if you can.”
Claire- “I will, and good luck to you too.”
and with that Claire and Alex set off on their journey to save the world...
