Primordial essence. The pure energy that permeated the universe flowed through all things, an invisible thread that connected everything to creation. Elluin, once known as Elohim, was the great creator and shaper of worlds. He had molded many others before this one, but something urged him to make this world special. Here, life would not only exist; it would evolve and grow in a unique, dynamic way.
Elluin began his work with great care and precision. He shaped the sky, painting it with infinite shades of blue, and designed the seas, whose waters reflected the brilliance of the stars he had created. The mountains, tall and majestic, rose like ancient guardians of the world, while deep, lush valleys served as fertile cradles for the life that would come. Everything in this world had a purpose, an inherent balance, and Elluin knew he needed beings capable of preserving that balance.
Thus, the Nimbaris were born—extraordinary creatures he sculpted with his own hands, infusing them with the power of transformation. They were to be the guardians of this delicate balance between nature and man, and they carried the unique ability to change their form, provided they deeply understood the essence of the living beings they wished to become. What made the Nimbaris even more exceptional was their connection to the fabric of life itself; they not only changed physically but also absorbed the thoughts, customs, and emotions of the creatures they embodied.
However, there was a deeper, spiritual layer to their transformations. The Nimbaris could even transform into humans, but this required more than just superficial knowledge. They had to live human life in its fullness—to experience the desires, fears, longings, and feelings that shaped human beings. Only by absorbing this complex emotional and mental fabric could they become complete humans. Even then, their roots remained anchored in nature, represented by the animal auras that surrounded their bodies. These auras glowed like specters of light around the Nimbaris, forming the spiritual structure of each creature they chose to embody, a constant reminder of their connection to the natural world.
Among all the Nimbaris, Elva was the first and the most powerful. Created by Elluin with special care, she was the embodiment of her race's infinite potential. Her ability to transform knew no bounds, but there was something even more remarkable about her: a mysterious bond with time. Elva could feel the echoes of the future, like a distant breeze whispering nebulous visions into her dreams. At first, these visions were fragmented, disordered moments of a distant future, but slowly they became clearer, revealing something terrible.
These visions showed a future where the balance that Elluin had so carefully established was crumbling. The world he had created, once harmonious, was now engulfed in darkness. Humanity, which once lived under the protection of the Nimbaris, had become an uncontrollable force, driven by ambition and the lust for power. Elva saw cities in ruins, seas of fire, and skies tinted red by the smoke of war. She saw shattered bodies and battlefields where the Nimbaris and humans clashed in a fight for survival.
With a heavy heart, Elva sought out Elluin. She wanted to tell him about the visions that tormented her, hoping the creator could prevent that dark future. Elluin listened intently, but in his infinite wisdom, he decided not to intervene. "Free will," he told Elva, "is both a gift and a curse. The choices of humans and Nimbaris will lead them to this destiny. I cannot change it, for doing so would destroy the very essence of creation." Elva felt a mixture of frustration and sadness, but she understood that the creator spoke the truth. Even with the weight of the visions, she knew the future was the consequence of each being's actions.
As the years passed, Elva's visions became more intense and detailed. She saw humanity advancing technologically, always in pursuit of more power, until they began to toy with genetics itself. It was at this point that the ambitious Genome Project was born—a global effort to map and understand the human genetic code, as well as that of other creatures, including the Nimbaris. At first, the project had noble goals—seeking to understand existence, cure diseases, and improve the human condition. However, as knowledge advanced, new darker ambitions emerged.
Humans discovered that the genetic code of the Nimbaris contained secrets that could unlock superhuman abilities. Their power of transformation, their spiritual connection to nature, and even their longevity were all encoded in their DNA. Yet, human science, driven by greed, saw the Nimbaris not as beings to be respected but as resources to be exploited.
From the Genome Project emerged the Roma Project, a secret branch dedicated to fusing the genetic code of the Nimbaris with that of humans. The goal was no longer healing or understanding but the creation of a hybrid army—super soldiers capable of shapeshifting, adapting to any environment, and defeating any enemy. These hybrids would be the ultimate weapons, beings of pure destruction, molded to triumph in every battle.
The Roma Project was driven by humanity's ambition to control the power of the Nimbaris. The scientists believed that by combining the essence of the Nimbaris with their own genetics, they could create the perfect combat being—a creature with human intellect and ingenuity but with the ability to transform and adapt like the Nimbaris. They believed these hybrids would dominate any battlefield and subdue any enemy.
In this dark future, after the Third World War, the world was in ruins. The great nations had fallen, fragmented into small factions that fought for control over the few remaining resources. Each faction followed a different ideology—some based on total domination, others on racial purity, and some on mere survival. The battlefields were marked by chaos, with devastated cities and desolate landscapes. Human technology, though advanced, had become a weapon of mass destruction, and the Nimbaris, once guardians of nature, were now hunted and used as pawns in this brutal power game.
It was in this setting that Elva, the hybrid, was born—a creation of the Roma Project. Though she was created to be a weapon, within Elva there was more than the scientists could ever imagine. What they didn't know was that this hybrid Elva was connected to the original Elva. There was a deep link between the two, a connection that transcended time and space, linking the past to the future. Two versions of the same essence, separated by millennia but connected by an ancestral bond. Elva, the first, felt the visions of the future as a passive witness, but the hybrid Elva was the direct product of those visions.
As hybrid Elva grew and became more aware of her origins, she began to question the purpose for which she was created. She lived the legacy of war and destruction, but inside her was something deeper—a connection to nature and balance that the scientists could not understand. The original Nimbaris, though persecuted, still existed, and she felt there was something that needed to be restored.
These two Elvas were like two sides of the same coin. The first was created to protect and maintain balance, while the second was shaped for war. But the bond between them was unbreakable, and the Elva of the future began to question: Was it possible to break the cycle of destruction in which she was forged? Or was she doomed to follow the same dark path?
As human factions fought for control of the post-apocalyptic world, Elva searched for answers. She knew that the fate of humanity and the Nimbaris was at stake and that her power of transformation could be the key to both destruction and salvation. Her journey would be crucial in deciding whether the future would be one of chaos or rebirth, and her connection to the past might be the only hope of restoring the balance that Elluin had so deeply desired.
