This is a project I started a little less than a year ago. It is basically the introduction to the five part series I am creating, all of which are based a on a skew of short stories I wrote years ago) and I should warn you, there is no real climax at the end, it simply continues directly into the next installment. This is, more of less, a love story. A tale of a forrbidden affair, a evolving friendship, and a guesome betreyal. It also explains how alot of the main characters in LOA (legend of Alexandria) came from, and how they came to be where they are. The sections are composed in the following order. First comes the list/biographies of the important characters, the backstory of the main plot, and several screenshots. -------------------------- -------------------------- Characters: John Age: 18 Weapon: Sword "Have you ever had a seed in your hand?

Oron, the divine creator, spread his flaming arms and shaped the earth to his desire, and incarnated three lone Godesses as his assistants. Their power, flowing freely from the source of all energy, the Omegan Stone, was placed in the Divine Realm, exceeding far into the heavens. Forming the land, nature, the creatures that dwelled there, Rina, Rose, and Ruby retreated unto their ethereal Elysium, and sealed the pathway to where they rested. However, Rina, being the pensive and thoughtful being she was, decided to leave a memorable artifact for their creations to admire. So, she secretly opened the portal leading to the Omegan Stone, so that one day, one righteous enough may witness and admire her absolute power. During the process of creation, they had created two distinct races, Humans, and their slightly superior counterparts, Omegans. Similar to humans in most aspects, the most notable features of the Omegan's was their inviolable intelligence and precocious physical strength, which in their minds, made them far superior to humans. Cenuturies past. After many years of struggle, one individual named Orex arose froma local Omegan Tribe. He proclaimed all humans were insignificant "insects" that needed to be eliminated, leaving the earth for the obviously superior Omegans. He gained many follows, and a civil war soon began.
