- Once upon a time, in a land before our own, was a Kingdom called Velruna. In this Kingdom, all were kind and peaceful for there was not a single thought of hate or malice. The people were ignorant and oblivious and thus living about their daily lives in peace and harmony. It was so filled with peace that they declared they own Queen to be the purest of them all, granting her the name of "Queen of Purity." And such was true! Their Queen was so kind and good nature, always putting her people before her, always showing her selfless acts of kindness for she was no ordinary Queen. In efforts of keeping her Kingdom happy and safe from the outside evil, she cast a magic mirror over her land, protecting the people from the evil and hatred of the outside world and each piece of her mirror was a shard of each pure and white heart of everyone Velruna. Any anger, or sorrow, desperation or depression, anguish or regret were all cured with the Queen's purest of pure magic. But where did all those bad feelings and bad thoughts vanish off to if her magic cured it?
To the other side of the mirror.
Eventually, the Queen of Purity could see a strange black cloud forming on the other side of the mirror. This wasn't a good sign... It couldn't have possibly been a good sign. Who would have ever knew her magic would have started such a catastrophe? The Queen could have never wished for something horrible to her home. She ventured again to her magic mirror the next day to inspect the strange black cloud, but she noticed something much more important- much more terrifying. The cracks in her magic mirror had grown much too large! Too large for her magic alone and no other magic other than her's was strong enough to repair it! The day she'd dreaded and refused to think of finally was coming... The hearts of her people were beginning to weaken as sin and misery began to invade the pure hearts of Velruna. What ever was causing her people to feel such sin and darkness? But something she feared even more occurred that moment... For the the first time in the long history of Velruna, the people felt fearful. As they watched the large cracks trail up to the highest part of the mirror dome. Whatever was on the other side of their Queen's mirror was disturbing their hearts and their home!
And then came a sound.
Distant first, it grew into castrophany so immense it could be heard far away in space...
There were no screams. There was no time.
The Queen's magic mirror had broken.
There was only darkness. And then... nothing.
This wouldn't stop the Queen of Purity. Heaven's no! She had to do her best to protect her people and her home until the very end. From up above, the very first piece of the mirror, whole but cracked came fluttering down into the Queen's hand. She had to bring it back to where it was manifested in order to force it whole again. Calling upon her most trusted, the Courageous Knight escorted her quickly to the end of her sacred magic forest. A forest where all things pure were created was the only way for the mirror to repair itself, but who knew how long that would take! Meanwhile their once blue sky had grown dark... The cloud that appeared on the other side of the once magic mirror had invaded their blue sky. It was the beginning of the end for Velruna...The Queen looked once more at her broken mirror and watched as the cracks grew bigger, and as a black sludge began to ooze from it. This certainly wasn't good. "Stop!" she ordered her Knight and thus he did! The poisonous slime that oozed from her mirror was not to be touched other wise her pure heart would be tainted. She placed the mirror gently on the earthy ground and watched as the sludge oozed the forest grounds, rotting the soil beneath it. Emerging from the end of the forest was the traveling White Jester making his way to the castle to meet his adored Pure Queen, with puppets to entertain her with. Funny stories and song and dance of lands far away. As he went to greet his Queen, he tripped! And his most precious and most beautiful puppet that was called "QUEEN" fell from his sack. Against the mirror it landed... The Queen tried to grab it quick to return it to her beloved Jester but the mirror said other wise. It cracked loud, rattled and shook violently. The Courageous Knight quickly grabbed his Queen ad Jester and rode off. An explosion like no other occurred! A black smoke circled her pure forest before shooting up into the dark sky.
Oblivious as they were, the people of Velruna ignored such a sound and went about worrying what would become of the black sky that had covered their home.. On the other side, in the darkened Kingdom, the Black Jester had awakened to see large, life sized puppets in his chamber. Of course his first thought was that he was still sleeping and a dream was what he was in! His only option now was to place heart shards within each of the puppets. Though their mirror shards were black as night and cold as ice. First was the Queen, but as the Jester raised his hand the Dark Queen slapped his hand away! She was awakened!
"Do not touch me, you filthy Jester!" she spit out.
Suddenly there was a scream, a cackle, an ominous voice.
"We are the Darkness. This you Pure Hearts should be aware of by now, or are you too stupid to tell? My, my does it feel nice to finally be free."
"You," she said. "Knight! You will be cowardly, and save no one but yourself. Selfish!." CLICK. "You," she said again. "You will be my General. Impatient and vengeful filled with nothing but hate, anger and sinister thoughts." CLACK. "And finally my dear King, you will rule at my side, chaotic and twisted, just as your Queen is." Creeeeeak One at a time, the puppets rose to their feet awakened by their Dark Queens' magic. These beings were no where near ignorant. They were wise, and their hearts were coated in anger and sin, a foul and poisonous hatred for the pure hearts. The citizens of the Darkened land were not evil, just tainted and twisted. Their humor was sick as was their love bitter. They learned quickly, built, had families and lived their lives hateful and angry.
The Forsaken Princess of Dark Velruna had explored beyond the castle yards one evening. She was much too upset with her Prince. Prince Disenchanting seemed like he wanted nothing to do with her, no matter how many times she tried! As she strolled along through the forest, a wild beast came and snatched her up! The Forsaken Princess screamed for help but as she thought, no one would come for her. That is until she heard the galloping of a horse. Someone had come to her rescue! What ever was this... this kind gesture?! The Courageous Knight, slayed the beast! "Who ever are you?" she questioned. "I've never seen you anywhere before!" She pressed her small hands to his mighty silver armor as her dreamy eyes rested upon his handsome face. Unfortunate for the Forsaken Princess, a crow in the sky spotted her and saw that the Princess' heart became tainted! With... with white! The crow dove down and attacked the Knight to keep him from corrupting the Princess any further. But it's effort failed when the Princess shooed it away. The mischievous Crow returned his Dark Queen and rested upon her shoulder. "That stupid Knight touched the heart of our dearest Princess?!" "Yes! Yes my Queen!" The Crow screamed. "A war! A war we should wage!" "And war is what they shall get.Darken the skies and ready the men. The Dark Hearts will not stand for their purity!" The Queen spat. "Each and every one of their hearts shall be tainted black!"
White Magic against Black Magic!
Man against Man!
Sword against Sword!
War was declared!
