Imagine a world wild and free, no buildings or roads, just trees and water and plains all around, as far as the eye could see. A joyous life of just living; eating, drinking, running away from your natural enemy… It was great for these creatures; until they appeared on the horizon. Something that walked on two legs and used animals pelts to insulate themselves as they had no fur. These animals started to take no care into what they killed, whether it be a huge beast or a small rabbit, as long as they could survive. And the creatures could not complain about it as they did the same, they survived.
All except the Mipa. They were known to have the softest fur, and even the predators didn’t like getting them wet with blood because they just wanted to squeeze and hug the pelts, and the two legged creatures noticed this about these animals. They started catching Mipas on a regular basis and soon the numbers started to dwindle because of the over catching of females. So one night all the Mipas met at the base of an old, crumbling mountain.

One declared that they should run to another part of the world where these animals couldn’t go, another proposed they should fight back. The Mipas were heard around the forest, and screeching and hollering went about before one Mipa took a place on a large rock to address them all. Her pelt gleamed in the moonlight, shimmering and sparkling like she was part of a star that hid above the sky.
‘We will form with the gems of this mountain!’ She yelled out about the clearing, the others looked at her and almost laughed. How were they to do that?
‘For then we will wait for one of these two legged things to bring us out of the darkness and into the love of their hearts. For then and only then will we come back out!’ The others still looked at her like she had sprouted another head. She was really serious about forming with these gems.
‘Come step up if you wish to survive!’ She looked down upon the crowd as a dark blue Mipa stepped up from the crowd, though the male thought this was a crazy idea, he might as well try. He approached a gem he saw hidden in the dirt: he had seen the gem drop out of the females mouth before she adopted a leadership roll. He put his paw on top of it and suddenly, in less then a blink of the eye, he was gone. The others looked on in astonishment and the female just gave a smirk to the crowd.
‘Now that you’ve seen, go off and find other gems for you to house in, when you form with one you will take on that stone and your essence will become one with it. We will meet each other in due time. And until then good-bye.’ Like her words had commanded them the Mipas ran off in search of a gem around the mountain base, some running into caves, others searching in the grass. And when they found them they attached themselves to the stone and waited for the right person to come along and find them.
The shining Mipa looked to the sky where a face seemed to appear in the stars.
‘Go now, find your own resting place.’ The white haired animal said and the Mipa took off to safety.

Thousands of years later...

Olden Mersur was digging in the ground; he was simply just doing this to plant some new flowers in his garden. His home was located near what used to be mountains, chewed down by rain and snow, probably even glaciers at some point and made what used to a mountain range into something only a few meters high. And when ever he was digging in his small garden that only housed a few plants he found different types of rocks. Red ones, blue ones, shiny ones, he even found fossil of an old snail. But today was different, he would find something today that no one has seen in centuries, but he didn’t know that.

His large, rough hand reached down into the hole when he hit something with his shovel, he grabbed around the icy cold stone and tugged. The stone came loose quickly, throwing Olden back with nothing for him to hold onto. He laid in the dirt and rocks for a few second and then brought the gem to his face. It was dull and had a gray tinge to it… but then it hit the light. Oh how beautiful it was! The dark colors danced around on the ground as Olden turned it in his hand. He couldn’t take his eyes off the thing; it shone like a bright, multi-colored star. Then he realized how stupid he must of looked and quickly brought his eyes away and got up off the ground, heading back into the house quickly to clean the stone off leaving his flower seeds for another time.

The stone now sat on a little wooden table beside a phone, it sat there day after day until a couple of weeks had past, it shone as brightly as it had when Olden had first seen it when the sun had hit it. Or maybe it was a bit brighter? He had cleaned it after all. But still it sat until one day when Olden past it, it sat there no longer. He looked around the room, and then the house and then went right outside to his garden, a blinding white light shot forward, illuminating the world around it more then even the sun seemed to. Olden blinked, not trying to shroud his eyes, he wanted to see what was in that mess of lights, he focused until he though his eyes would shrivel up and fall out, and then it appeared, a women dressed in white, and beside her a small dog creature who gave off the light. Olden looked confused, his eyes switching between the two standing in front of them as the light slowly became weaker and more bearable.

‘Mr. Olden’ The woman spoke, bowing her head. Olden went to take a step closer, but he was held in place. ‘You have brought back something to this world that as been lost for centuries.’ Olden blinked, he knew not what he brought back, the gem not even coming to his mind. ‘With you’re caring of that gem you’ve brought back a Mipa, who will stay with you as long as you take care of it and will follow you whenever you need it.’ The woman bowed her head once again, long, curly, white locks dripping in front of her face before she disappeared in a flash of light blue, almost white smoke and a book appeared where she once stood, though Olden took no notice to it.
He focused his eyes on the dog like thing in front of him,, still shimmering in the light, it looked up and wagged it’s tail, it’s tongue lolling out to one side. What had she called it? A wipa? Nipa? Mipa! There we go. Olden kept his thoughts quiet. The Mipa got up and placed a paw on the book.

Slowly Olden bent down and patted the thing on the head and took the book. The front was dark brown, and very fancy, gold lettering said very simply was ‘Pure Essence : A Guide’ He picked it up with his large hands and traveled inside, the small animal followed him like the woman said. Olden found himself a chair and sat down to read, half of what happened he didn’t believe, but it had happened and he needed to know what was going around this old, chopped down mountain.


Slowly around the old range other people stared finding these stones, and were greeted by a woman in white, a nice little surprise, and a book holding all the information they needed from what were these things to where they came from. And now a new life started for the creatures, and for the people affected by them, will you be one of them?

Mipas

Essence stage:

Erm... it's a rock. What more can I say? Make sure you keep this safe, because this essence rock is the start of something bigger...


Adult Stage:

Well... I can confirm that that definatly isnt a rock. Your essence has grown into a Mipa! You are now the proud owner of your own essence Mipa. Perhaps it's time to look for a mate to start the cycle all over again?

Anthros are Mipas which have been blessed by the gods. They have powers and are quite rare.

Earth or sea Dragon:

The two leading dragons (Earth is Galada, Sea is Ocaru) are the overlords of the Pure Essence world. Their power is split into two groups. The anthros blessed by either of the two are the luckiest. Typical extra edits for these anthros are: Long, furry tail, wings, crystals, fangs and claws

Skyworld Bird:

The leading bird, Feza, rules the Skyworld. Anthros blessed by the bird godess are granted the power of flight. Typical edits for them are: angel wings, feathers, plumage

Underworld Ram:

The Ram god ,Biyok, is the king of the death world. Anthros blessed by the ram are granted dark powers. Typical edits for them are: Horns, wounds, bat wings

Lost souls:

More of a curse than a blessing. These Mipas failed their test for evolution. They are lead by their self-appointed leader, Raliez. They have very weak powers and have no homeland realm. They are forced to wander the world. Typical edits for them are: Souless eyes, broken horns, torn wings, one wing, mutations from the original mipa are deformed
