HISTORY OF BRITHIA

PART ONE:

We all come from one world; One realm. Originally, we were all humans. There were no animals that existed. No birds to occupy the air, fish to the sea, or dogs to our homes. There were simply us. The humans were a great race then. We knew many things; we knew more than we do today. More than I fear we may EVER know. This life was bliss. But then it happened. Six explorers went out one day, trying to discover a new part of their wondrous world.

On their search, they came across a path that led up the side of a mountain. Unfortunately, there were other dangerous forces, dangerous and threatening humans around, so, they were forced to hide in a near by cave on the side of the mountain that was not the easiest to reach. They went in, curious yet nervous, unsure what they would find. As far as they knew, this cave hadn’t been documented quite yet (In this realm, many, many more things were documented as landmarks, whether they visualized as important or not. It was necessary.).

As the six explorers went further in, the other humans continued to pursue them (It is still unknown today why they insisted on catching the nine explorers).  The explorers dashed deeper and further into the cave, making turns and sharp bends. Eventually, three from the group was separated from the others. They had gone a different way on a turn. Those three were not later seen for a while. The remaining three eventually came to the edge and ending of the cave, though no out of it quite yet. They looked around suspiciously, knowing they should observe as it was uncommon for a cave to have to entrances. It was also unknown for the mountain the cave was on to come to an open valley. Before them, the other side had been documented as the raging and wind blistering sea.

Quite curious, the remaining three stepped out of the cave and in a flash, they were gone. When they finally reappeared in reality, they were not where they were earlier – In front of the cave and standing before a valley. But instead, they were in a deep and thick forest. They looked around cautiously, and called out for help. Eventually they met up with the three they had lost earlier; who had apparently come to the other side of the mountain as well, only before them was a desert.

Wanting to document this amazing discovery of transportation and new landscape, the newly reunited explores attempted to find a way back. Unfortunately, they never did. What they did find however was their amazing talents. Each gifted with a specific talent, except one, who had become quite unaware of their surroundings.

Explorer One: Forgot all knowledge of previous world, and all memories utterly confused and dazed; known as today’s basic Mortal.

Explorer Two: Gifted with the control over all the elements. Extremely powerful. Known as today’s Glints. However, today Glints have control over only a single element.

Explorer Three: Blessed with amazing talents. Many of them in fact. Extremely talented in fishing, persuasion, singing, cookie, hunting, ect…Known as today’s Blessed. One again, only have one blessing.

Explorer Four: Very powerful. Discovered a gift in magic. Could control the elements, learned of a hidden language, most powerful of group. Known as today’s Elves.

Explorer Five: Second to Explorer Four. Also gifted in magic, also given a special ability. Is able to cast spells (unlike the elves), telekinesis, and Astral Project. Known today as Witches. New set of powers added.

Explorer Six: Began to excessively shrink. Went down to about the height of Three Feet. Attracted to the mountains. Likes to Mine. Eventually moved to a cave. Known today as Dwarves. No magic.

As they grew in their mastering of their talents, they began to grow separate from the rest of the group, wanting to go their own ways. Eventually, when the others had turned the age of about thirty, more humans from the other realms began to come. They kept on coming until, eventually; it is supposed that none are left in the other realm. Today, we believe the explorer’s pursers reported the cave and it’s strangeness to the human Overlord.

Curious, the Overlord demanded a group of naval squad members to investigate. When they didn’t come back, the Overlord sent more and more, until it finally dawned on him that there must be something at the other end of this tunnel. Bringing six others with himself, he went into the cave personally. When they came to the end of the tunnel, he forced the others to go before him. When they disappeared, the Overlord rushed out of the cave and announced an official and initial congregation into the cave. It is believe that the Overlord and his wife were the last to leave the old realm.

When the explorers came in contact with the others, they noticed they too, had some of the same characteristics as them, and took them with them. Many had offspring, and thus began the six basic races of the modern world.

PART TWO:

After about a decade of living in this new realm now named Earth by the mortals whose memories were completely erased, an elf came up with a plan. Being in the Elvin race, he remembered everything from the world, the only thing was, he was the ONLY one who remembered. You see…There were certain things that everyone forgot about their old realm. Old studies, old abilities, and most importantly, old discoveries.

Well, the elf, what he remembered, contained not only the old discoveries, but also…the Studies. You see, back in the old realm, this particular elf had been the head scientist for the experiment for the creation of a machine that would have the ability to create another race of creatures, something other than humans. They’d discovered that it would work by the precise calculations and test runs they had made beforehand. They were determined.

The only thing was the fact that any personal belongings besides a simple weapon such as a knife and your clothes, disappeared upon the entrance of this new world. That included each and every document that was attempted to be brought along.

Upon always having had an explicit memory, the elf – Name: Delwin – remembered practically all of the documents he had either personally recorded or read. This was an old ability of the humans from Brithia. Using what he could, and then learning more about the old Brithians gaining powers, or loosing their memory (or height), Delwin decided that he’d try out a different procedure.  Delwin gathered many together. Two from each known race. Two Mortals, Two elves, Two witches, Two Glints, Two Blessed ones, and two Dwarves. Knowing full well, he would never get any of the twelve test subjects to give up their powers without a good reason, Delwin began to bribe them. However, little did they know, he was quite intelligent, and was telling FALSE bribes. The elf offered the twelve of them immortality for all of their power; only six of the twelve were foolish enough to agree. When the other six denied him, Delwin went into a rage, and attempted to kill them, fortunately, none were killed. There were simply minor scathing on the six escapees. These six will play a prominent role later on.

Delwin, forgetting about them, went back to the others who remained, hoping their magic together would be enough to create the bizarre creatures that not even Delwin knew would look like. When the remaining six had given up their powers to Delwin, he himself transferred his new power to the witch that stood in front of him. He instructed the witch that if he would cast a spell (This spell has not been included, due to it’s dangerous bindings and power) to create a set of new random creatures, they would all gain immortality.

Acting on impulse, the witch did so, creating many of the creatures that inhabit our world today – Horses, dogs, birds, fish, jungle cats, and monkeys….The witch even created some magic creatures such as Gargoyles, Mermaids, and the Griffin race.

The instant that Delwin was aware that the deed was done; he quickly summoned his power and killed them all, before the witch even had a chance to defend himself.

THAT IS THE HISTORY OF BRITHIA
