CHRISTINES: DAUGHTER OF SUPREMACY

For over 600 white years of supremacy, Persímonus had only generated man Childs. Like his many brothers, his sons were born with the fate of a shorter life, and none of them brought in him any feelings whatsoever.

But Christines, besides being the only Persímonus´s daughter, was also the only female with the possible fate of becoming sovereign. When young, Christines inherited the essence of her mother, Chrystah, and this powerful essence prolonged her life far beyond her deceased brothers. Cristines was powerful, brave and self confident. Her strong personality made her transpose laws, rules and gave the opportunity to develop her powers even further.

Venturing into the vastness of the dark world searching for responses for the death of her mother, Christines discovered more and more mysteries. Over the decades, tired of finding anything, Christines began to put herself in more and more danger. Being saved by Sephius, Christines saw in his heroic acts an irresistible opportunity to find the truth. Understanding and depositing more trust into the strange hybrid criature, Christines began to realize all the harm her father seemed to represent.

Strangely, Persímonus seemed to have extraordinary zeal for Cristines, and several times he was heard saying that would never accept another such important loss. With the mysterious absences of Persímonus from Halugarde, Christines began to rule more and more that world of light. But Christines had not the power nor the knowledge of her father. Her naive heroic government brought the wrath of the Lords of Light and increased the tension between her and Persímonus.

When Christines discovered that Persímonus feared Sephius´s existence, and tried to protect the hybrid creature, then she finally discovered the truth about what Persímonus really felt for her.

MENDRIARK: THE DARK ESSENCE PRESERVER

Supreme and mysterious, the entity Mendriark was known, to many, as the God of Darkness. The search for Mendriark was something a few tried and very few succeeded. Also called Zohgradah ("sacred" in the black Sansico dialect) Mendriark lived in an extremely dangerous and inhospitable place. Only the uhtäcrothus (powerful leaders of the autocracy) ventured on these lands in search for its gloomy wisdom. Despite his immense power, Mendriark was bound to eternal obligation to preserve the essence of darkness.

This was his only purpose, but by having contact with the hybrid creature Sephius, for some reason, Mendriark began to question this obligation ...

LAISAN: THE POWER OF ETERNITY

The power of a creature comes from its own essence. The essence of an individual is subsequently transferred to others after death. The power of the essence prolongs life and, when highly concentrated, avoids aging.

Laisan possessed a combination of curse and gift. In her childhood, adverse events forced her to receive one of the most powerful essences. Tatian, an old mystic, many times said: "Never transfer a deep essence to a child." This statement was always interpreted as meaning the lack of young people`s experience to handle great power. However, Tatian's words had another meaning: Tatian was referring to a condition she called the eternal childhood.

Laisan, with her huge concentration of essence, had the same symptoms of the most powerful creatures: the absence of aging. Many years passed, but Laisan did not change. She had a woman`s mind, she had wisdom and knowledge, but the body of a simple child. The condition Laisan carried pushed her away from a series of ordinary experiences that could have made her live an emotionally stable life.

When Laisan met Sephius, he was just a baby without wings, common and normal. Raised by Yulos, Laisan lived in the same beautiful village where Sephius was raised. Thirty years have passed and Laisan saw Sephius grow. Sephius made her feel normal and they became very close. Having him deep in her heart, Laisan was the first to discover that Sephius was quite different from what he appeared to be, but she kept silent about her visions.

When, for the first time, she saw the face of that hybrid creature who claimed to be the same Sephius she was raised with, Laisan realized her visions were very real ...

NÔMEGAH: DESPISE, HATE AND POWER

Nomegah was a visceral creature. From the far and dusted lands of Nykebah, Nomegah was just another being with no future and doomed to have a short life. However, his despise for the world and its systems did emerge in his mind a great genius and obsession for power. Nômegah had a rare intelligence and an incredible survival instinct. Engaging in a journey of struggles and assassinations, the essence of Nomegah only increased, prolonging his life and making him stronger. After passing hundreds of years wandering alone as a criminal, Nomegah eventually became one of the most adept of the mystic process.

But even having achieved such power, Nômegah realized he still had a hole in his soul. When he met Akma, a trouble minded mystique from most distant lands, Nomegah finally had a son named Atlos. Tired of his violent journey, Nômegah returned to his homeland and devoted only to creating his child. A few years after his return, Nykebah was attacked by white creatures, led by a disturbed warrior named Apartus. In the terrible attack, Athlos had been violently killed.

Holding the dead body of his son, Nômegah´s hatred had no limit and he did what no one could imagine. He desecrated the body of his son, using his essence to forge a powerful weapon, which contained Athlos´s soul and skull. In the extension of this scepter, Nomegah crafted ancient Sansico words on the metal. Words that just a few could read and in which he sealed all his sorrow. Rumors said that the forging of the Nomegah´s scepter made Akma crazy, and she disappeared.

With mind wrapped in hate, Nomegah traveled to Noprótone, where he submitted himself to the uhtäcrothus Reizenhart, the autocrat of Darkness. Instead of killing Nomegah by his crimes, Reizenhart appointed him as a general and allowed Nomegah to assemble an army in order to fulfill his revenge and eventually stop the attacks in the dark lands.

With his sinister scepter, Nomegah was able to create dense clouds, which could cover large areas of the lighted lands. With such a powerful advantage, Nomegah and his army travelled to the world of light, moving towards an event that changed both worlds forever...

OSTONO ERED: THE FALLEN MIGHTY

Legendary and mighty, Ostono Ered was one of the most amazing white heroes that ever existed. His enormous development and discipline have made his anatomy perfect, and he was an icon of beauty and strength. Ostono Ered was the being with the largest wingspan ever seen and could reach huge speed in flight with his powerful and beautiful wings. Seeing him fly was something impressive and, with his strength, he won many battles and fame.

Ostono Ered was noble and wise, but those virtues could not save him from ruin. Ostono Ered was the right arm and friend of the uhtäcrothus Sythomas, father and predecessor of Persímonus. When he realize his friend was falling into a fatal ambush, planned by the dark creatures, he threw himself into a suicidal attempt to save Sythomas. Ostono Ered climbed high up the Persanic mountains, but, arriving late, he decided to give his own essence to keep Sythomas, who was mortally wounded, alive.

Hours later, weakened, Ostono Ered saw Persímonus and his men coming to them. His relief turned to horror when he realized that Persímonus had not come to save his father. Persímonus actually wanted to take his place. Trying to prevent Persímonus from taking his friend`s life, Ostono Ered was cowardly beaten and mutilated. Almost unconscious, he felt his body being thrown off a cliff and disappeared into the fog of the high mountains.

Ostono Ered stayed for days at the bottom of the cliff and lost most of his essence. He was very close to death when he was found by the Beuryos, a white lineage who lived in those mountains. No one else was aware of his survival and he was pronounced dead. It took years to recover from injuries. His power had been completely lost and he had no more strength to fight or even to raise his great wings, which now dragged on the floor when he walked. Ostono Ered never flew again and decided to live alone in the mountains, with the Beuryos.

Traveling to these same mountains, Sephius found the legendary Ostono Ered alive. He tried to convince him to come back and help fighting Pesímonus , but Ostono Ered found himself unable to fight. Only when he discovered that his son Apartus was the right arm of his malfeasant, Ostono Ered discovered two new sources of power vying for space in his mind ... love for his son and hatred for Persímonus ...

PERSÍMONUS: THE WEARY AUTOCRAT

Persímonus was bitter. As the son of Uhtäcrothus Sythomas (autocrat of Light), Persímonus was born with the fate of a short life, as well as his many dead brothers. Persímonus despised his father's promiscuity and selfishness. For hundreds of years, Sythomas had never shared his powerful essence with any of his sons, whom, consequently, had an ordinary life expectancy. Persímonus feared death and, above all, he wanted to live more than his father.

A few years after the War of Thaylanths, the fragile alliance between blacks and whites had broke, and the world was again in a great persanic war driven by prejudice and unnecessary hatred. Persímonus, already old and close to death, still did not know much about the world, but before this great conflict, an unique opportunity was introduced to him. Being contacted by a mysterious entity, Persímonus had its help in a big conspiracy against his own father. Allying himself with blacks and with that entity, Sythomas´s terrible fate had been sealed.

With the death of Sythomas in the Persanic War, Persímonus received the essence from his father and became the Uhtäcrothus ahd Zhul (Autocrat of Light). By creating deception surrounding the death of his father, Persímonus had support and strength to ensure its sovereignty definitively.

However, with the essence of Sythomas, Persímonus uncovered most of the world`s mysteries. The same mysteries he regretted to find out. Persímonus perceived that being Uhtäcrothus demands terrible consequences and, with the death of his father, all the weight was now on his shoulders. Over the years Persímonus lived with this great power until he began to wonder why he feared death and saw himself in a life psychologically impossible to sustain.

Persímonus already had a tired mind when he had to sacrifice his only true love. Along with many other sacrifices, Persímonus needed to lose Chrysta to preserve the stablishment. The events surrounding Chrysta´s death remained shrouded by many mysteries and made Persímonus more and more estranged from his only daughter.

A few years before Sephius´s appearance, Persímonus began to absent more and more from Halugarde and there were some rumors about conspiracies. He was losing more and more support from the Lords of Light and others politic forces. When Persímonus declared the definitive end of the war against black creatures, Apartus, his main general and friend, became furious and started his own crusade against the dark creatures.

Persímonus´s mental condition was deplorable, which would eventually create a very dangerous situation for the black and white worlds ...

REIZENHART: THE SINISTER ASCENSION

Reizenhart was cold, ruthless and absolutist. He was ambitious, practical and did whatever was necessary to maintain his autocracy unshaken.

But, in the past, Reizenhart was just a son of an Uhtäcrothus. Landros, Reizenhart´s father, was the living creature with the highest density of essence that ever existed in the dark world. This power guaranteed his autocracy. Reizenhart, as son of Landros, had the right to inherit his essence if Landros died. A right that, one day, could allow Reizenhart to become an Uhtäcrothus.

In the age when Reizenhart´s was young, politics in the dark world was confrontational, filled with traitors and opportunists. Landros was able to deal with this difficult situation and, even more, with attacks by Thaylanths and creatures from the white world. Although Landros was wise and powerful, his fall was not something that could not be considered.

Through an expected betrayal, Landros was finally murdered . The traitor Jenetz quickly stole the essence of Landros, becoming the new autocrat of darkness. Reizenhart then exiled himself from Noprótone to avoid being killed and began living on marginal land with his mind wrapped in desires of revenge and death. Throwing himself on a journey of murder and hunts, Reizenhart acquired a lot of power, which culminated when he, in the Red Dew Zone, forged twin swords called Syanmenesses. The folklore said that the two blades were indestructible and their cutting cauterized wounds like fire. With the swords, Reizenhart returned to Noprótone, where he fought and, surprisingly, murdered the Uhtäcrothus Jenetz. Reizenhart absorbed the essence of the mighty fallen Uhtäcrothus and, in the event, Reizenhart became undeniably sovereign. The power of Reizenhart became somewhat higher that, even carrying such powerful weapons, never again was he seen wielding them. However, the myth around the Syamenesses remained strong, creating a cloud of fear around him.

Upon taking power, Reizenhart promoted a carnage, killing all the Dark Lineage Lords and many other political figures. The Council of Lords has become a political facade and Reizenhart became a real absolute autocrat.

Nobody knew, however, how Reizenhart had gotten so much power to be able to subjugate the powerful Jenetz. Although many were able to rise huge powers in heroic/assassins journeys, it was highly unusual for individuals to develop such powerful essences to actually threaten an Uhtäcrothus. It was obvious, for many, that Reizenhart had not risen only by himself. The Red Dew Zone seemed to be a key to unlock this mystery. But Reizenhart had become such sinister figure that no one ever dared trying to find those answers. And that would only come to change when Sephius appeared in that world ...

SEPHIUS: THE LIGHT OF THE DARKNESS

For 30 years, Sephius lived an ordinary life in a calm village called River of Dreams. Away from the big cities and conflicts, Sephius was not prepared to deal with the world.

At the request of Menian, Sephius decided to travel to Curdel in search for answers about his origin. Shortly after he left, his village was attacked by dark creatures leaded by a powerful mystic called Nomegah.

It took months of fear and terror after the attack, when there were some rumors of a strange being with no face around the village. By showing himself as the only hybrid being that ever existed, the creature claimed to be Sephius. The villagers, frightened, drived away the creature, but Tatian, Sephius's adoptive mother, decided to go after Menian to find out what happened with his son, since she had had no further news of them since they left.

Over time it became clear that the creature was really Sephius, and he had to look for the answers by himsefl. By carring the essences of Light and Darkness, Sephius was not accepted by either sides and this made his life and journey extremely difficult.

When Sephius finally found the black army who attacked his village, he turned his attention to Nomegah. Sephius believed his change should be some making of the mystic black creature. During his pursuit, Laisan, Sephius´s childhood friend, died as a result of Nomegah`s mad acts. By continuing his search for answers and revenge, Sephius was attracted by Nomegah to the Zone of Oblivion, a dangerous mystique region that only a few knew. In an upcoming epic battle, one of them could come to die and be forgotten.

But Sephius was the Light of the Darkness and, by bleeding his strange essence, would come to awaken Nomegah`s memories that would change both worlds forever.

THANATHOPOS: THE LIGHT ESSENCE PRESERVER

Supreme and mysterious, Thanathopos was, to many, the God of Light. The preservation of the essences of Light relied on its ability to control their power. Thanathopos` immense knowledge and power had the price of imprisoning itself in this eternal obligation. The World of Light, however, was not a balanced place at all . Corruption and inequality, greed of creatures for power, behaved against the task. Thanathopos feared as it realized that this strange world could not actually sustain itself and, inevitably, would collapse.

Thanathopos talked to a few, but an Uhtäcrothus called Sythomas, he vented all its lack of hope. Sythomas meant to Thanathopos everything that it thought would destroy that world, but Sythomas seemed not only to understand the world's problems, but also carried knowledge that was unknown to Thanathopos and it felt compelled to discover.

With the death of Sythomas, Thanathopos became a violent entity , killing all those who looked for him for whatever reason. Not even by seeing Sephius, Thanathopos seemed to be interested in the mysterious creature. But when Thanathopos touched his essence, Sephius started to have its unconditional attention. Thanathopos realized the importance of Sephius but was still ignorant of his true purpose.
