The Guardians - The Remnants of the Past

 


The past is yet to be forgotten. Move on, and let it serve as a living memory.


In the past, before Cyanide Heights existed, there were guardians. These people, gathered by their respective Gods and Goddesses, are tasked to protect the realm of which they serve. There were hundreds and thousands of them, no other beast were able to defeat such a powerful force. They were prominent and known as a symbol of valor, until the very day that these worlds have collapsed. One by one, these guardians began to perish and lose their own memory, fading onto nothingness. However, one guardian had remained hope. Kyuren.

Kyuren Kiguroki was a guardian of the Kyrite Dimension, a world where magic and beastmen co-exist with one another. He had fought many raging battles against the dark forces, and even sealed one of their leaders in an eternal slumber. One day, when he finally saw the dimension, falling in front of his very eyes, he tried to hold on to a shrine with all its might, which resembled their Goddess, named Kira.

"Has Kira abandoned us...? What had become of my nation that now has fallen to the darkness?" He cried.

No other guardian had faced such a tragedy of losing the realm they swore to protect, nor they have ever feared of losing the people who trusted him as their only protector. The shrine is still in a good condition, with a small chunk of land giving him space to lie on. As far as he looked beyond the shrine, there were no other similar shrines, floating around with their guardians. Kyuren called upon the goddess whom he had served, bot he never received a response from them. Losing hope, he called upon the void, asking if he shall meet the same fate.

"Is this what awaits all of us? Is this the inevitable future that the gods and goddesses told us about?"

...

"why......why have they never told us...?"

...


We were sorry for your loss, guardian.


"huh? who goes there?"


You exist because you don't want this to be your fate.


"I don't want to lose everyone...but now that they are gone, what's left to save?" 


I see all, guardian. I see the many instances of the future, and all the possible outcomes of this dimension.


"Is there anything I can do....anything that can being me purpose to the life I knew I have lost?"


There is a way, and I shall offer you two choices: To move on to the next world, or come with me to create a world that will never go away, forever.


The guardian was presented with two choices. Two choices that would determine his own future. Choices that will make him choose his own path. To select his own destiny.


He, has chosen to join the Deity to create a new world.


Today, Kyuren no longer exists. However, he had left a legacy to keep an eye on the world he promised to return to. He had selected 4 people to stand as his chosen guardians. Each with their own vision of the world, and all with the same will to protect it from the darkness. The person with the highest of honor within these guardians are known to be the Heights Regent, the ruler of the heights. They can see the right and the wrong, the past, present, and future that this world shall bear. 


Today, I promise you till the end of time. I will return someday to protect everyone.
