Long ago, Himmel was a land of peace and prosperity. Villages thrived, magic flowed freely, and the people lived without fear. That peace was shattered the day Noctyr and his forces, the Monarchs, attacked. Smoke and fire filled the sky as chaos consumed everything in its path.
In the midst of the destruction, Aearis Vallen, the legendary Skywarden and master of wind and sky, rose to defend the people. With unmatched skill, he saved countless lives, lifting families from collapsing buildings, pushing back monstrous invaders, and controlling the very winds to protect the innocent. But even heroes have limits. During a desperate clash, Aearis lost one arm, a wound that would mark him forever. Though injured, he survived—and dedicated the rest of his life to training the next generation of heroes.
After the battle, Aearis looked over the shattered lands and spoke to the remaining people:
Chusei – a land of calm and kindness, where people cherish peace over combat
Ochisuita – a land of disciplined fighters who act decisively when battle is necessary
Noctyrs Domain – a realm of chaos and bloodshed, ruled by Noctyr and his monstrous forces
Determined to prevent such destruction from happening again, Aearis created schools in both Chusei and Ochisuita, places where students could learn to control and master their elemental powers. These schools would become a beacon of hope, teaching young warriors not just how to fight, but how to use their abilities responsibly to protect their lands and people.
Meanwhile, a young boy named Koi Ren trained tirelessly under his master Watashi, a former samurai with unmatched discipline and skill. Watashi taught him swordsmanship, reflexes, and the art of strategy, pushing Koi Ren to master Koru, a legendary sword that splits into two blades, Ko and Ru. Every swing, every stance, every movement was honed to perfection under Watashi's guidance. Koi Ren's determination grew with each lesson, as he learned that true strength came not just from skill, but from focus, heart, and unwavering resolve.
When Koi Ren arrived at Aearis' school, many questioned the boy's presence. He had no elemental powers, yet Aearis saw potential. "Courage, skill, and heart can surpass even the strongest magic," he said. With that, Koi Ren was chosen as a student, beginning his journey to become a hero in a world torn apart.
Koi Ren knelt amidst the training grounds, gripping Koru tightly. Though his path would soon be full of hardships, the lessons from Watashi had already forged the foundation of a warrior. With a deep breath, Koi Ren stood, sword resting on his back, and took his first step toward legend.
