**Author's Note: So I have just became reacquainted with my story and I will be playing to post once in awhile. The writers block that is knew as my life has finally settled down and I can feel the creative juices flowing again. Hopefully that it will keep up. I will have a little notice at the top of each new chapter as either *NEW* or *UPDATED* hope you all enjoy!
A story from long ago, not a story so much but more of a history lesson about a race of beings that began everything. Nurturing the universe from infancy to only vanish from all records, except for this tale that I am going to share, because we are their descendants.
Before Time and Space, for someone had to have a hand in creating those two fundamental principles, the people of Alethia lived at the very center of all creation. Not even our own records tell where they came from, some say that they were always there, beings that were fundamentally too powerful to even comprehend but so attuned to nature that they just melted into the background.
Living alongside nature so much, they built their home in a vast tree, sprung from an alchemical seed of wisdom. Some tales of mythology that you recall, call the tree Yggdrasil but the world in our hearts will always be Alethia because there is truth to all tales but that is a whole different story.
What we will be focusing on is the battle that still rages on to this day, you may not see the battles but they show in everyday life; that bad day you are having, the flat tire on your car, your high electricity bill, the reason why your boss is being a giant dickwad. All of these reasons come from those demons that hide in the darkness.
What the Alethians failed to notice were the creatures that lurked in the between spaces of creation and the even more dangerous ones that lived in the hereafter, the place called Hell by some religions, others calling it the Netherworld, that is where all the big baddies like to live; pretty gross looking ones too, with tentacles, slimes, lots of eyes...-shivers-
And to all those people, not all of the bad guys don't go to Hell, the Alethians made sure to safeguard their souls from all of their worldly transgressions. Before they disappeared from this plane of existence, because if the Invaders ever got their hands on someone's essence, trust me, you would have a whole lot more problems in this world than you could comprehend.
But it wasn't really until the Alethians started to notice little flaws in their designs, that they finally figured out something was fundamentally wrong with the universes. They had to set up a fail-safe system that would protect their little charges.
They began to call it the Guardian Stigma, a type of brand that appears on your body (humans call it a birthmark now a days) gathering the energy from the moment of your birth and creating an egg in an alternative realm of existence. It isn't until puberty that this egg hatches, it because the shell is so hard that it needs the energy fluctuations from you that cracks the shell and that it takes time for the embryo to form. Some people Guardian could be a creature, others can be so powerful that they take on Human form as well. That is where the majority of human myths come from but that's another totally different story...So many tales I could tell since I found out my birthright.
It comes from the Alethian bloodlines, that a person is able to summon their Guardian. The more potent that your blood is, the stronger of a Guardian. The blood lines just have mixed so much with mortal blood that there is hardly anymore Pure Bloodlines but there is a chance to save the families of Alethia. Since the ruling families sent their children into the future to escape the collapse of their society. Their bloodlines so potent that a single drop could resurrect a descendants bloodline to full glory.
Not saying that Alethians are vampires, just that the ruling families have an inherent ability that raises the blood or powers potency to max. That it overrides all the mortal traits down to nil, you become a god-like person. I have seen some pretty crazy stuff from seeing the after effects of the ritual, haven't done it myself yet but totally awe-striking.
Though ever since I became known to my birth-right, I have seen pretty twisted stuff going on and have found out a lot of secrets and thankfully my adopted parents and my biological parents were there for me through it all and I have been better for it.
