In the beginning Mankind lived together in peace and harmony. But after the Humans discovered the existence of Spirits, things changed. The Spirits were kind beings and taught humans two forms of magic, Heart and Soul magic.
Heart magic required the use of Mana (magical energy) within ones body. While Soul magic uses the energy of the Soul to cast spells. Some took a liking to Heart magic, calling it pure and good. While others fancied Soul magic, describing it as effective and powerful. The two factions had constant disputes, and eventually a great war broke out.
The Spirits had no idea that the Humans would misuse their gifts, and were powerless to stop them. The horrors committed during the war corrupted the once good Spirits, turning them into Demons. The Demons were a terrifying threat and almost wiped out the entire human race. Then in their desperation, humanity sought the help of the last good Spirits, who reluctantly gave them the Voidstone (An Artifact of Great Power).
Using the Voidstone humanity defeated the most powerful of the Demons, by trapping them inside the stone.
With the powerful Demons trapped, the weaker ones retreated, vowing to one day return to seek vengeance. But there was peace, so humanity split the Voidstone and separated, creating the Heart and Soul kingdoms. So that they would never be a war again, and the Great Demons could never return.
Presently three of the Heart kingdoms Elite Mages have returned from their missions, and were personally coming to teach the trainees.
The Elite Mages where the top ten most powerful mages in the Kingdom, and Lance and his friends can wait to meet them as they stand amongst the other trainees, anxiously awaiting their arrival.
Meanwhile at another location, three Elite Mages are in a carriage ride, slowly making their way to the academy.
The No 3 Elite Mage (Gwenevier Topaz): I'm so bored of this, how much longer will this stupid ride take, Perfect. (Gwenevier asks in annoyance)
The No 2 Elite Mage (Michael Rook Aka Mr Perfect): (Adjusts his glasses while he reads a book) Stop complaining Gwenevier, it's not a proper way to behave. Why don't you prepare a speech to inspire the kids or something.(Perfect replied calmly, not even turning attention away from his book on sword techniques)
The No 3 Elite Mage (Gwenevier Topaz): That's actually a good idea, thanks Mr Perfect. For your Perfect advice. (Gwenevier says sarcastically)
The No 2 Elite Mage (Michael Rook Aka Mr Perfect): An idea from my brilliant mind is always Perfect. You shouldn't expect anything less. (Mr Perfect boasts while still reading his book)
The No 2 Elite Mage (Gwenevier Topaz): Whatever... Hey! Wake up Leon! We're almost at the academy!... Make yourself useful! (she yells while waking up the No 1 Elite Mage)
The No 1 Elite Mage (Leon Chronos): Huh! Are we there yet?... Just five more minutes. (He says before falling back asleep)
Gwenevier Topaz: (sighs) As lazy as ever. (Gwenevier said as she shakes her head)
Mr Perfect: Makes you wonder how he became No 1.
Next: Not Up To My Expectations.
