Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Prologue

Before I start writing; I will say a small disclaimer:

This is a book intended for 13+ as it includes some jokes and themes that are not meant to

be absorbed by very young children. Nonetheless, those who can read it, you are in for one hell

of an adventure!

Long before the peaceful era (300 BPE to be exact), the Humans, Goblins, Luminari Elves and

Nightshade Elves, all lived in peace and harmony with a Human king that ruled the whole world.

This King was good to everyone that lived in his kingdom and was merciful. This

planet/kingdom/world was called: Pelisarius, The Kingdom Of Freedom. The Lucianis Family

ruled it as the Gods chose them.

One day, the Goblins thought that it was unfair that a Human was king and they protested for

separate lands/countries. To be fair, this was not a horrible idea but it was not very practical as

wars would break out and that would anger the Gods. The King did not like that suggestion, so

he cut off their supplies which made them even angrier. The Nightshade Elves (the orange

ones) saw this, and they also got angry and joined the Goblins in their protests. They tried to

invite the Luminari Elves (the green ones) to also join the riots, but they refused as they were

bound by the Gods to be loyal to the king. The protests got progressively more violent to the

point where the beautiful purple grass was being burned as well as the gigantic honey trees

with the fire element. This made the king frightened, so he sent Knights (the army pretty much)

to deal with it. The Knights (which consisted of Luminari Elves and Humans because the rest

quit), tried their best but were overpowered. When the Goblins and Nightshade elves (they

started calling themselves the Umbra allegiance) saw this, they got prideful and wanted to

overthrow the Lucianis family and implement a new form of Government in which each race had

their own land and Royal family, they pretty much wanted to divide the races and species. So,

they all started attacking civilians with their elemental powers (Fire, Air, Water, Earth, Nature,

Electricity, Pure energy, and Dark energy) to attract the King's attention. The King got

angry and made the use of Elemental powers legal to every civilian and that law stands to this

day. Each civilian and the whole military started fighting back and it caused a grand civil war, or

world war in this case as it was only one big country, which lasted for years. The leader of the

Umbra allegiance was a Goblin with the name 'Grimshade'. He then collected a group of the 10

most experienced assassins which combined had the elements of Water, Electricity, Earth, and

Dark Energy. These 10 creatures then made their way to the middle of the world, where the

castle was located, and snuck in. They then found the King and had a Grand Battle! The King,

with his Element of Nature, wiped out 9 of the assassins and dismembered the last one, yet he

killed himself after witnessing how chaotic his once heavenly Kingdom became. The final

assassin, when he saw this, summoned his Great Eagle Horse (flying horse), and he flew back

to the camp and informed Grimshade of what had happened. Grimshade was ecstatic and so

he called back all his troops as a means to unprepare the enemy, then he launched a crazy Fire

attack in which he burnt all of his enemies, either to death or to the point where they couldn't

move. He essentially wiped out 12% of the whole population. He then made his way to the

castle and found the King lying dead, the royal family was taken up by the God of War and

Protection, Timotheus, who wielded all elements (Gods and Goddesses wielded every

element and could effectively use Pure energy). They then told him of what happened and so,

in a fit of rage, he came down and attacked Grimshade before Grimshade could touch the

King's crown (It was said that whoever touched the King's crown but his family, was destined to

become King). He then proceeded to easily wipe out Grimshade's special forces and

summoned Liora, the Goddess of Healing and Life, to bring back all the dead people and

restore the beautiful landscape. Timotheus then took all Nightshades and Goblins (Including

Grimshade, Timotheus was not destined to Kill the Grimshade Dynasty) and sent them to one

half of the world and collected all Luminaris and Humans and sent them to the other half. He

then raised a Grand mountain (50,000 Meters High and spanning across the whole Planet of

Pelisarius), and named the Human Side 'Lumin' and the Goblin Side 'Umbra'. He then

summoned the 2 Dragon-God brothers, Belisarie Dominiu and Nightsmith Dominiu, and asked

them humbly to guard the border until the destined one, the one who was meant to bring peace

and love back to the world, The Solaryn, the one who will bring the light of the sun back unto

the world, came and removed the border. Belisarie accepted it with grace and maturity whilst

Nightsmith accepted it with dread and was only looking for a way to have 'fun'. Belisarie was a

Golden Dragon and Nightsmith was purple.

"Listen to me Grimshade, if you dare commit this crime ever again, I will personally make sure

that you and your people will pay with your blood, Liora was graceful enough to bring back the

dead, but she won't bring you back. Behave, I will guard Lumin and Zephyrus, The God of

Rage will Guard Umbra. If you dare cause war and even more suffering and death to Lumin,

you will suffer." Was the Last words that Timotheus said to Grimshade. The Lumin side

continued to live a sunny and loving lifestyle with love and flowers and perfume embracing its

air at all times. The Kings and Queens that followed were all wonderful and this Pleased

Timotheus to the point where he befriended the Lucianis Family and became an uncle to them.

They even nicknamed him 'Old Man Timotheus'. However, I believe he was on Pelisarius only

to see the hot and sexy Female Elves and Female Humans, Female Goblins were always a

horrid sight to see. On the other hand, each King and Queen that ruled Umbra was

despicable. They sucked their Kingdom dry of its money and only spent it on the Military and

their pleasures. The air was dark and gloomy, it was flowing with the tears and blood of its

civilians and the smoke of fire. They weren't even allowed to use their elements to make their

work easier and more bearable (the Lumin Royalty allowed it), they were, in a way, fascist! This

did not please Zephyrus in any way and it made him an enemy the the Grimshade Royal family

yet he couldn't do anything as his Job was to protect it. The Nightshades and Goblins (which

weren't noble families or royalty) regretted rebelling against that Gracious king and wanted to

return. They tried crossing the border unbeknownst to the Dragons, but Timotheus cursed them

and if they ever crossed the border they would become rabid and crazy and any civilian who

saw them was allowed to strike them down (this is a key concept in WOMTSAF so make sure

you remember that fact). The 2 Kingdoms continued to live like this for 300 years until the

Solaryn arrived...
