Chapter 03: History

"Where am i?"

"What is this place?"

"I don't i feel my body"

"I feel so calm....."

Oh! Chosen one, I Dwar; gatekeeper of the worlds shall narrate to you the tale of this world. Mithos, the fabled sphere of life was home to the two competing races of Devas; Shuras and Ashuras. Shuras were the residents of sky and blessed by nature with the knowledge of magic. Ashuras dominated the land and strength was their only virtue. For long they grew independent of each other and peace prevailed but this peace wasn't long lived .

Shuras made the initial contact. They came to dislike ashuras uncouth life style and despised there violence which had created chaos on the land. The shura assembly under their king Indros decided to make full contact with them. The plan was to civilize uncouth ashuras and spread the shura dominance to land which was more resourceful than the sky. Contact was finally made with the ashura elite and things looked promising.

Knowledge of civilization was spread among the ashuras in exchange for the crystals which were in abundance in ashura land. Decades later Indros was succeded by Hados. Hados never liked ashuras nor did he like the policy of Indros. As soon as he took over the reigns of the sky, he declared war on ashuras.

This came as a surprise to many. Ashuras were slaughtered. Innocents were massacred in thousands. Unhappy with working of Hados, many shuras rebelled against the Hados and turned over to ashura side. Under the leadership of shura named Brahm, ashuras managed to defeat Hados. Before he could be caught Hados escaped never to be seen or heard again. 

Peace prevailed.

Brahm took over as the new ruler of the sky. Ashuras dedicated to their savior a Hero tower. With the help of shuras a path was opened that connected the sky with land. Many ashuras became residents of the sky and intermingled with shuras on large scale. This gave birth to a many mixed blood families. But they lived in misery and were frowned upon by the pure blood families.

One night Brahm disappeared from his palace mysteriously. Without a hero and an able ruler, chaos took over in the sky. Many mixed blood were hunted down. Ashuras weren't spared either. An all out war broke out when several pure blood families were massacred by unknown assailants. To bring an end to this massacre they planned out the destruction of the tower; pathway that connected land and sky.

On the rare occurrence of twin moon which happens once in millennia, siege of the tower took place. It crumbled as both the masses watched in awe. Destruction everywhere yet many were joyous about it .

Then something happened

From beneath the tower ruins shadows arose engulfing everything in its path. As shadows spread its wings, Brahm appeared out from the hole in the sky. People rejoiced at the sight of their hero. Their savior had returned. Before he could do anything about it he got surrounded by mysterious people in black robes. It was clear they wanted to stop him. They argued for sometime after which fight broke out but he didn't have time for the skirmish.

Brahm had an ace up his sleeve. He began chanting which left him open to enemy attacks. Though severely wounded he kept chanting. A grand magic circle was cast on ground where the tower stood. The luminescence of the magic stopped the shadows from expanding. But it was too strong to be banished into the tower.

Another spell he cast over the twin moons which locked the tower in time as men in black robes watched in angst. They turned their attention to Brahm but he was no where to be seen. In frustration they slaughtered anyone that came in their sight. Blood shed went on for long.

Millennia later

Magic that once flowed through out Mithos disappeared and seal that locked the tower grew weak.
