Chapter 1

Long ago in a far away land lied a kingdom ruled by one awful king, who never cared for his people, he was a very strange man.. In my opinion at least, he went by the name of king Balthasar... yup... he was a weirdo... again, in my eyes.

In each world of the universe are protected & watched over my four Guardians, only... four. It has always been that way for centuries, well... at least that is what all the human history books says, i have always hated those books... it was always full of lies. Those who lived in this world are unique. Humans & Beasts, Faries & Goblins, Paladins & Teiflings, Elfs & Dragons & many more. Many Kingdoms, many cultures... many rules.

Centuries had past & anyone would think that everything is fine & it was all sunshine & rainbows but.... little did everyone knew, a dark entity was arising & had no intention on being nice to the world. Unfortunately this dark entity are called phantoms, comforting. Phantoms.. Such evil creatures that terrified many, even the kings and queens were terrified at the sight of them, Though phantoms weren’t always active at dawn, it is when that they go into hiding until night falls yet again. Over time the phantoms have evolved into something that was once a dark cloud, but to a solid being... a monster & through that time the humans found it more and more difficult to handle the phantoms.

The humans had suffered for years & years, not knowing what to do to get rid of them, through time the phantoms had began to get stronger developing powers of their own. Humans had enough & sent out a calling to arise the Guardians from their long slumber in hopes of them saving humanity.

Down in the deep blue sea lied a heart protected by mermaids & many creatures. The heart of the sea began to glow alarming the protectors all round but were quickly relieved knowing that it was the first guardian awakening from her slumber . A women arise from the heart, her aura as calm as the waters, a mermaid who has possession of a powerful trident... Amelia, Guardian of the seven seas, who was announced as queen twenty years after her birth. Alarmed by the calling of the humans Amelia rise to the surface & began to sing a song, the song of summoning.

Up high in the floating islands on the highest mountain lied a lotus flower protected by griffins. A wind spirit who heard the summoning song coming from Amelia sped it’s way to the resting place of the second Guardian Axel, Guardian of the skies & the lord of the sky creatures. Lord Axel arise from the lotus angry at the sight in front of him, “who dares to awaken me!” Axel growled “I am afraid your slumber has come to an end my lord, you see Queen Amelia has summoned you to her domain.. “ the spirit explained, “I will not go! What ever she is going to ask of me will be a waste of my time, energy, & my breath!” he yells as he tried to lay back down on the lotus. “My lord I am afraid that you have no choice but to go, you see... she calls all the Guardians of this world my lord, to save humanity... if those unknown creatures finish off humanity it is possible they will come for us too... this is our home my lord, your home” Axel goes stiff looking down in anger soon turns to concern. “...fine... I’ll go, but to only protect our people, nothing more... nothing less” moments later, Axel then lifted off.. Making his way to the domain. Oh yea i forgot to mention... Axel is a Griffin.

Deep within the Enchanted forest lied a old living tree with a door in the center of it. The forest creatures gathered around the tree waiting for their queen to awaken from her “beauty sleep”. The elder tree, also known as grandmother opened her door to bring forth the third Guardian, Queen Titania the Enchanted Forest, “Heard that song from a mile away Amelia, lets see what she wants now” rolling her eyes she grabbed her sword & hopped on her horse heading for the ocean.

Hidden away in the lands behind a shrine, deep within a blooming Forest lied a beautiful pond guarded by yin & yang. The fish were alarmed by the song & rushed to awaken the last Guardian Michael. Rising from the waters Michael let out a roar in pure anger to find out from yin & yang that the lands of the living are being harmed while he was in slumber. “bastards! How dare evil rise & terrorize my lands!” Michael is the Guardian of the land of the living, he protects & defends the humans and those who live beyond the boundaries of the human kingdoms.

After a long wait the Guardians had arrived to the domain in anger frustration & in boredom, Amelia who is concerned as ever looked at the Guardians in confusion. “why is it that every time I call out for all of you its always a problem, do none of you have any ounce of respect for one another? To work together in protecting our home?” “ especially the two of you... Axel, Titiania.. Are you two incapable of being decent or to even think about others than yourselves or are you really that big of a bitch”. “ you’re one to talk Amelia... you claim to care about the humans and other creatures in the surface world but yet have now Intention on even going to the surface and be there for them, you’re a coward Amelia!” Titiania yelled. The three Guardians yelled at each other while Michael looked in the magic fountain in horror seeing the humans being slain by the monstrous shadows lurking about the kingdom. “ Enough, stop you’re petty arguments... we wasted enough time as it is, we need to get to the surface world and save the humans, to save our home... now!” Michael yelled. The Guardians were still, shocked by the sudden reaction from him. “ well well love, I never thought that you would have said those words, or anything at all... considering that you were always so silent towards us” Titania said as she attempted to caress Michaels arm, but was stopped by the sudden grab by him.. Squeezing her wrist. “ don’t even think about it Titania, I will not stand for another attempt of you seducing me” he said as he flung her wrist walking towards the door, leaving Titania sad.

Night falls once more & the phantoms had gone out for their hunt yet again, the humans screamed in terror as an phantom opens its mouth in attempt to eat them, but was stopped by a water wall & whooshed away by Michael’s powerful punch. “ die you bastards!” Axel roared as he flew in knocking down a group of the evolved phantoms & with a swish, more of the monsters were sliced in half by Titania’s mighty sword. “ There is so many of them, surely there wasn’t that much a few days back right?” Titania asked, “I’m not sure... but we keep fighting, Amelia.. You get the humans to safety, cover them with a water wall” Michael fought all in while giving the commands. Though Amelia listened the other two were angered by Michaels commands yelling back at him telling him to not tell them what to do, for what seemed like forever the Guardians have been fighting one phantom after another, one more powerful than the last... after the wave ended all was left was the original phantoms, not knowing how to defeat them, Titania tried to slice one in half but came back in two, leaving the Guardians lost not knowing what to do next & Amelia was losing energy soon not being able to keep up the walls for any longer.

Days past, the war had gotten worse & worse... the Guardians had to evacuate the kingdom & have them take refuge in a near by village. After setting up the camps Amelia & Michael place enchantments around the areas to protect the Civilians... only bad thing was that the Civilians were told that if they leave the circle... they won’t be able to get back in, The Guardians headed back to the battle ground to prepare for another wave. “ Michael, are you sure those enchantments are able to hold on until dawn” Amelia asked as she ready her Trident. “No... no I’m not sure, we don’t know how many more are coming... but we must be ready regardless. No matter what happens... we must make it, keep fighting until the end... do you understand” Michael turned to the Guardians for a response. With a nod they turned to the skies to see the dark cloud form, Evolved phantoms dropped down to the ground, roaring in anger & rage at the Guardians. The wave hit & went on for hours, Michael punching & throwing, Titania slicing & dicing, Axel blasting one phantom to another, Amelia who stayed behind fighting off the evolved who tried to get past the circle, leaving them exhausted & In pain... A child who saw a kitten outside the circle ran to save it, forgetting that she wouldn’t be able to get back. “child no!” Amelia yelled rushing to the girl, holding them in the her arms... a phantom set off an explosion sending Amelia & the girl flying across the field. “Amelia!” Axel yelled, letting his guard down as another phantom shot him out of the sky. Michael & Titiania rushed to their side after eliminating the phantoms, getting them out of harms way the phantoms had retreated to the domain where their lord is hiding, leaving the Guardians & the people in relief.

“Will Amelia be alright?... Michael” A villager said with worry in her eyes. Michael looked at her in concern yet annoyed. “You doubt our strength? Do you really think we will be killed that easily?!” he yelled at the women, “No! Nono that’s not what I meant at all I was just worried that’s all” The women said as she backed away from him, rushing back to help with the wounded. “Michael, Amelia is down & Axels wing is injured... we can’t keep this up, we have no idea on how to get rid of the original phantoms & more are evolving. We need to leave hide them somewhere else! There is no other choice Michael-” “I KNOW THAT!” Michael yelled cutting off Titania “You think I don’t know that Titania! You think i don’t know that we can’t stand a chance at this point! You think I don’t know that they’ll die if we don’t get them out?! HUH?!” Titania backed up in fear as Michael screamed at her not knowing how to calm him down.

“Michael please, I didn’t mean to make you upset... I was just saying that we needed to leave.. You didn’t need to yell at me like that!” Titiania said leaving Michael with guilt on his face as she made her way to receive food from the people. Hours of healing, resting, packing & stocking up on food, Michael & Titania gathered the villagers & headed to the mountains for safety until the next wave. At night fall the Michael & Titania said at front, Amelia stayed at the campsite with the villagers using the remainder of her power to put up one water barrier while Axel stand outside of the barrier with feathered swords in his hands ready for battle. Michael who stood in a open field next to the mountain looked up at the full moon in worry, “Please.. Moon Goddess, we need help.. Im afraid we won’t survive This night.. We need your help, lend us your power, your guidance.. Something just please... please.” Michael begged in hopes of for an answer from her.

Moments later & a black ball of shadowy mist rises above bound to unleash at any moment, A loud heartbeat like sound came from above putting everyone in shock. The Guardians looked up to see a glowing rain drop making its way down to the earth. “Stay in the barrier! Do not leave... everything will be alright” Michael said walking towards the campsite remaining eye contact with the droppling planting itself into the earth. Everyone watched as roots began to sprout out of the ground.. Forming a tree. The tree grew larger & larger making everyone run to a safe distance, before everyone knew.. A Wisteria tree has spawned. Michael rushed to the tree, inspecting it making sure it was safe to be around. All seemed well until one of the flowers at the bottom twitched putting the guardians on defense mode. The flower bloomed bringing forth a strange creature from it, fluffy ears, glowing green eyes, marking on its face, a wave of intense energy came from it bringing fear out of the people & shockingly enough the Guardians were also scared, unable to move nor make a sound they had seen that the creature happened to be a strange looking wolf.

The wolf inhaling their first breath let out a howl at the moon ensuring the goddess that they were alright. The wolf looked at Michael with piercing eyes as it pounced to him making Michael brace for impact thinking he was going to be attacked, but was confused on how he never got hit... looking up to only be face to face with the wolf. “who are you.. What do you want” the wolf was silent, “can you hear me?” still silent... “please just tell me who you are, we don’t have much time! Those phantoms will kill us!” he said pointing towards the sphere filled with dark clouds. The wolf looked towards the direction he was pointing at only to turn around & walk towards the tree. “Can you hear me?! We are under attack” Michael yelled at the wolf in frustration as it started to glow, changing its form. “Well... this is something I was hoping to not see tonight but I guess this is ok, then again I wished it was a male... but female is alright.. I guess” Titania said as she rolled her eyes in ugh as the wolf took on a human form.

The girl stood there looking forward at the ocean as the Guardians circled her. “Who the hell is this, she’s so small” Axel said gripping her head lifting her off the ground “she doesn’t even seem phased by this, look at her.. She’s still” Titania commented. “Don’t be rude you two! She did nothing to you” Amelia said in defense for the girl. “Hey kid.. What is your name?” Michael questioned but was given no response in return. “Honestly how are we going to get anything out of this girl if all she does is stay still & quiet” Axel said in frustration squeezing her head. Michael punched Axel making him release the girl’s head holding her in his arms to ensure her safety from Axel & Titania.

Amelia moved to Michaels side to get closer to her “its getting close to Midnight, I’m surprised that they aren’t attacking yet” the girl looked at Amelia with a straight face putting them in shock. “Midnight?” Amelia questioned as the girl hopped out of Michael’s arms stepping up to the Guardian. “that’s it?! Thats her name?!” Axels yelled stomping towards Midnight “why didn’t you say that in the first place?!” he said as he tried to grab her.. But was stopped by Michael & Amelia “Don’t you dare lay a hand on her! I know who she is, she is my little sister” Michael explained as he yanked Axel away from Midnight. The Guardians looked at her in disbelief.

“Hello…I’m Midnight, Midnight Wisteria Thorn… Im a Guardian of the land of the living like my brother, it’s nice to meet you”
