Welcome to Gaia! ::

Some say the universe started off with a bang. Others say that the universe was created by a magical being that we worship with our lives and spirits. A select few say that the universe was created by four heroes that were well-versed in the forms of magic. From the day they came into existence until the day they died, the four heroes studied magic as their passion. It was their niche, their existence, their everything. If it wasn't for magic and sorcery, the four would have no purpose. In fact, the universe would not even exist if there were no magic.

It all started with a lone egg floating through nothingness. Everyone had their theories of how the egg came to be, but no one knows for sure. The lone egg gave one subtle quiver before a crack appeared, followed by more cracks. The egg finally hatched, starting time and sending bright light and matter flying off into the nothingness, creating dimensions, worlds, stars, and so much more. However, the egg left four people floating through the now-occupied space. They became wanderers, travelling between the many worlds and dimensions in search of their purpose.

The four searched the universe for countless years before finding a place to settle. It was a small planet revolving around a dim star. The four named their planet Metamorphia and settled there in peace until they discovered that they were not alone. Our four heroes found a small village named Levioli occupied by beings like themselves. The heroes were accepted into the village as long as they worked to help the village and did not cause any trouble.

A century passed before chaos came to meet Levioli. A troubled wizard by the name of Marzule arrived on Metamorphia with his two companions and settled into Levioli. However, he did not settle down quietly. Marzule was so pleased with everything about Levioli that he wanted to own it for himself. Marzule started by stealing all of the food that the farmers were growing to support the village.

After the food was in the hands of Marzule, most of the villagers began obeying him. Marzule began making many ridiculous rules that everyone was expected to follow. While he was in power, Marzule took almost everything from the village. He took away everything but the dignity of our four heroes.

The heroes plotted secretly of how they were going to overthrow Marzule and restore the village to its former glory. Before they could do anything, the heroes had to wait for exactly the right time before launching their plan into action. Our heroes boded their time for two long years before they marched onto the grounds of Marzule's dwelling and confronted him.

The four were armed with spears, ready to use direct force to apprehend their opponent. Somehow, Marzule had known what they were planning to do. He countered their attacks with magic that he had created himself. With Marzule using magic, the heroes thought that the end was near. However, the wisest hero transformed into a beautiful swan and turned Marzule into ice. As they watched their master fall before them, Marzule's companions whisked the solid Marzule away to the other side of the universe, promising revenge.

Having defeated Marzule, the village worshiped the four heroes with their lives. They let the four become the village Guardians and protect the village from any danger that happened to pass by. While serving the villagers of Levioli, the four heroes devoted their spare time to developing spells and curses, hexes and jinxes, items and knickknacks. The village people loved what the four heroes had given them. In fact, they built schools where the four could teach everyone everything they knew. The heroes agreed to this and instantly started their program.

Before the first lesson had even started, the kindest of the four heroes got an idea. Everyone could transform into whatever magical animal that corresponded with their eye color. Not only that, but the person would also be able to use certain elemental spells as well. The four heroes taught everyone the usual spells and charms, yet they taught those with red eyes how to transform into animals that were associated with fire. They also taught people with red eyes fiery spells and charms. Not everyone mastered the elemental spells, but they definitely mastered the basics.

Everything was going well until Marzule's descendant, Flick heard about what was going on around the world of Metamorphia. He journeyed across the universe and marched with his army into Levioli and destroyed everything in his path. The four heroes rushed off to fight him, but they were too late. Flick had launched an attack on Metamorphia's core, causing imminent destruction. Our heroes escaped in the nick of time, yet the rest of the populace was not as lucky.

The four heroes became wanderers again, searching many lands in hope of coming across a nice land that showed promise. It took many centuries before the four found a new land. They named this land Lunarius and settled there. This time, they built their own village which they called Alveovo. Then, they sat, awaiting more people to join their ranks and defeat the Dark Lord, Flick.

However, Flick is more convincing than he seems. Dark Magic is very popular these days. Flick has also been torturing everyday wizards and witches to join his side. Many are giving in to the pressure. What side will you join?

In the universe, war is about to begin. What side will you choose?

The Dark Alliance - The Dark Alliance or DA for short are all of the wizards and witches that are on the side who practice Dark Magic. Not everyone on this side joined at will. Some were tortured viciously. The people of the DA worship Flick as their ruler. They mostly follow his commands, yet you do see the occasional rebel. All of the members of the DA are recognized by a tattoo of black flames on their ankles. Members who live in secrecy usually keep their marks covered. When a meeting needs to be assembled, the carriers of the mark will certainly know. Once you join, the only escape is death.

The Revolutionists - The Revolutionists are the people who are against Flick and his abundance of Dark Magic. They side with the Four Heroes and practice normal magic. The Four Heroes are the leaders, but they let everyone have a say in what goes on. They will not torture or deceive to get people to join. The only requirement to join is that you do not posses the mark of the DA. Once you join, you will be prevented from using Dark Magic as long as you don't acquire the mark. If you are seen with the mark, you will be banished from the group. The mark of a Revolutionist is a tattoo of a dove on the right forearm. It is possible to switch over to the DA, but once you join, you cannot become a Neutral.

The Neutrals - The Neutrals are the people in the middle. They are not currently on a side, and therefore bear no mark whatsoever. The Neutrals can choose a side whenever they feel ready. However, they will usually try to be tempted to join the DA. The Neutrals aren't forced to choose a side though. Their goal is to end the war entirely by getting both sides to agree to stop fighting. Since the Neutrals aren't on any given side, they're allowed to use both Dark Magic and normal magic. There's no designated leader to the Neutrals, but if a member wants to arrange a meeting, they must work hard to get the word out to other Neutrals.

Here are all of the places in the village of Alveovo that are accessible to everyone.

The Castle - This castle is actually the home of the four heroes. It was built using all of their strengths and will crumble only when their spirit falls. Even if their bodies are destroyed, the will and spirits of the four heroes can still live forever through the castle. The castle has many rooms and can house thousands of people. The four heroes are not picky who stays in their castle. In fact, the put a charm on the castle, so that only people with pure hearts are allowed to rest and dine there. The castle has a large set of gardens that surround the entire castle itself. All of the species of plants in the world are featured here. Many botanists would die to catch a glimpse of the plant life here.

The Forest of Shichi - The Forest of Shichi is a large forest that surrounds the village of Alveovo. The forest is teeming with all kinds of plant and animal life.

Some of the most beautiful bouquets ever made came from this shop. You could even request that your flowers be enchanted with some kind of charm. However, the Charming Hero must approve of the charm before it can bet put into action.

Shining Sand Beach - The biggest beach in Alveovo, Shining Sand Beach is sometimes referred to as SS Beach. It is a major tourist attraction because the weather is always perfect.

Sicalliya - Sicalliya is a quaint little island off the coast of Alveovo's infamous Shining Sand Beach. Most of the island is uncharted and full of mysteries that can only be solved by adventure. There are some underground caves and even a small volcano! The waters surrounding the island are always crystal clear and calm.

Marluka - Marluka is a large continent on Lunarius. Rumor has it that the continent is cursed with misfortune and woe for those who settle there. Only the bravest travelers would venture here.
