Welcome to Gaia! ::

.::.Story.::.
(I'm sorry it's long... but if you like, you may just skip to the third paragraph. sweatdrop )

A young boy sat on the roof of a local weapons shop. Swaying his feet back and forth; he sat lazily and stared up into the night sky. He loved staring at the night sky, sometimes he thought he could see shapes of things in them. His mother had told him that each star in the night sky was an angel who would watch over people and protect them with their lives. The boy always questioned that idea. "Angels are already dead though mother!" was his usual reply whenever his mother would bring up the angels and stars. "Yes, that may be true, but they can still die, where do you think people come from?" was her retort," When an angel dies they get reborn as a human, with no remembrance of their past."The boy liked that thought. He found joy in thinking his long gone family could be in the skies watching him, protecting him.

On a night that seemed no different than any other night the boy, now quite older, was staring up at the skies again. For some reason the stars were flashing colors instead of the usual pale yellow light. Some would flash brilliant red, while others flashed a deep blue. Some would become a dark dirty shade of brown, and others would be a merry joyous violet. The phenomenon continued for 3 nights. On the third night though, something strange happened. The stars that had glowed other colors began to move. Not the usual daily rotation caused by the earth, but if the boy watched closely they could be seen moving. It took a couple of minutes before the boy noticed they were picking up speed. Each one was moving closer and closer to earth. This frightened the boy as the stars were moving faster and faster with each passing second. Two words came to his mind,'shooting stars'. One thing was for sure, these stars were not to stay up in the sky for much longer. As soon as the boy realized that a dark purple orb passed by him, a few feet off to the right. The boy followed the direction the orb had fallen and was lead to a small crater. The boy saw a strange creature, which in time, he would come to know as a Djinn. The boy didn't know it at the time, but the creature he set his eyes upon that night would change his life forever, for better or for worse, you decide.

ELSEWHERE...
On the same night the boy learned of the Djinn, four great stones descended to Earth. One stone from one of four planets. Mars, Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter. Each stone possessed the pure elemental energy of whichever planet it represented. Mercury meant water. Jupiter meant wind. Venus meant earth. Mars meant fire. Something had upset the balance of the elements on Earth, and the four stones were meant to be taken to a specific place. The Sol Sanctum. The Sol Sanctum was built by the ancients to house the four elemental stones on the first occasion that they had appeared. Unfortunately, the stones had been stolen by members of the Mars Adept tribe from the far north. Each stone was then to be set on a pedestal in ancient towers, called lighthouses. There was a lighthouse for each element, just as there were Djinn, and elemental stones. After the stones had been set in each pedestal, the lighthouses were "lit" almost destroying all of humanity. But eight great heroes had stopped the calamity, but no one knows how they accomplished this feet. After the heroes saved the world, the Djinn that had aided them on their journeys returned to whence they came, and they took the stones with them, not wanting something like this to happen again. Sadly, that which they feared happening became a reality. An elemental swift of power crossed the Earth as the Norther Mars Nation began to feud with the Southern Mercury Nation. They have been waging war for 18 years now, and the war is drawing to a climax. Both sides have realized the power of the stones, which they had been told of in legends passed down through their histories. Both nations have sent armies of Adepts to look for these stones, hoping to gain an advantage against their opponents. The war which has brought chaos to the elements may end in the world's destruction. And rumor has it that the Northern Mars Nations have already found a stone. Nobody knows which one, but many fear the power they would possess if they found the Mars stone. And know with the appearance of Djinn surely the waring nations will begin searching for them as well to gain any little leverage they can. Will you aid the boy in his quest to return the stones to Mount Aleph, where they won't be used as weapons by the waring nations?

((And now i feel we have enough stuff to work with to begin the rp!))

It came to him in a vision... He must go to a place of four stones where shooting stars are.... How ever strange this sounded he had no other sign to do anything he grabs his gear to go and heads out hoping he wasn't the only one there. He too had been watching the stars recently. he felt it was his duty to do this like it was his duty to kill his parents for their cruelty. He decided he would follow this as closesly as a normal person would breathe it would eventually consume him if he did nothing.
