To be a lightsworn meant you followed in the path of angels and all of their expectations. It required sacrifice, devotion and unimaginable faith. No living being within the order had seen an angel, but all of their idols and scriptures were proof enough that they existed and that it was the purpose of the order to serve them. Some within their ranks, those of who were the most pure were even blessed with the holy gift of angels. Abilities such as holy healing and harnessing the light offensively to inflict it upon their enemies. One particular soul with this gift possessing the rank of Heavenly was known as Erisella Oceanwing. A golden haired battlepriest who wielded the word of the lightsworn, swearing away all worldly temptations, such as wealth and love.It was considered the highest honor to remain pure and celibate in the name of the angels, especially when it was the duty of a heavenly battlepriest to fight against the archaic sin of those who worshiped demons. The two orders had fought each other for ages. It wasn't just a matter of praising different idols, but the very core of their ideals were different. Even the tales of angels and demons spoke of them being enemies since the beginning of life its self and so their devoted servants followed suit and did the same.
Many regions, nations and cities chose to worship neither as both factions or cults as some called them were deemed far too extreme, and so both were relegated to construct their places of worship within far away mountains or valleys or in places where it was said angels or demons may have lived long ago. One such place was a large, nearly untouched valley surrounding a deep, seemingly bottomless lake. There had been signs of a civilization living there long ago. The lightsworn believed it may have been a land of angels, where the other faction had evidence that the demons roamed the land once, thousands of years ago, and so both factions had been caught in bloody conflict for claim of the land, both believing it was their deities that once graced the land.
Erisella had been called to the front to protect her fellow lightsworn in a battle that was believed would secure their place within the valley and allow them to control the lake which resided in the most central region. The woman nearing the age of 25 summers preferred not to brandish blades despite having the training to do so. Instead she wielded the powers she was blessed with to heal and restore the fallen or conjure shields of pure light to protect those from the more sinister tactics of the opposition. Believing they were on the verge of victory, the heavenly cleric sprinted ahead, raising a hand to the skies to cast a light down in order to blind her opponents, hoping they would flee once and for all, when the earth below her feet gave way, sending her, an ally and an enemy that she had been pursuing deep below the depths.
The cavern that they had fallen into delved miles below the earths surface, many water falls, streams and underground rivers carried the three even further into its depths, depriving them of very little hope of every finding the surface. The fall and the harsh rapids of the underground river had rendered Erisella unconcious as she was unable to fight the currents in her heavy armor. The last thing she remembered was her ally splitting his head open upon a rock, effectively killing him before they were both pulled along the torrent of rushing water, losing sight of the third that had fallen with them, and then everything fading to black.
