          Long ago, there were three sentient beings; Omni the Absolute, Dimentia the Proud, and Celestica the Gentle.  The two goddesses bore Omni many children and fought for the god's love.  Ultimately, Celestica won the Absolute's love and became his wife.  Enraged at the loss of her love, Dimentia sought to destroy her rival and failed.  Disgusted by Dimentia's outburst of anger and hatred, he shunned her and banished her across the cosmos, never to be seen again.

          Omni had hoped that this would keep his love safe but it was not meant to be… for one day, the goddess disappeared.  Lost to him forever.  Stricken with grief, the god drifted throughout the cosmos weeping over the loss of his beloved.

          As he wept, he discovered something.  A small world teeming with life.  Earth.  The god was amazed by the sight before him and in turn, he created a small world of his own in its image.  This world was like Earth in so many ways yet it was something all of its own.  Along side mankind, many magnificent creatures of fair tales and legends thrived in the lush lands this world had to offer.

          In his beloved's honor, Omni named the world Celestica.  He cared for the small planet and treated it and its residence with love and care.

          But it would not last since the god soon became gravely ill with an ailment that no magic could heal.  He could no longer care for his beloved world and without his care, Celestica began to break down and crumble.  The creatures, wild and corrupt, began to fight and eventually devastated the land...

          After many years of this unrelenting devastation, a bright light shown.  Two heavenly figures came down from the Heavens to this world and brought peace back to its lands.  These were two of Omni's children, the Gods of Balance, Alpha and Omega.  Together they illuminated the minds and hearts of Celestica, and the creatures rejoiced as the gods restored Celestica back to its original condition.  As a matter of fact, the world had grown to be far better than it ever was before.

          Fearing for the world may once again fall, the twin deities created six beings.  These beings would live on Celestica and care for the planet as their fathers watched from the Heavens.  These beings were known as the Elemental Gods, or Elementals.  They were Epsilon of Light, Zeta of Fire, Gamma of Wind, Beta of Water, Delta of Earth, and Sigma of Darkness.  These deities would take on human shapes but lived on in animal form.

          These six beings kept the world out of chaos and blessed it with their magical abilities.  Zeta, the fox, brought courage and loyalty into the hearts of all and gave them the warmth of the camp fire's flame; Gamma, the eagle, gave the people freedom and spiritual guidance and granted them the comfort of the summer's breeze; Beta, the dolphin, blessed all with passion and love with the refreshing touch of the cool waterfall; Delta, the deer, gave strength and power to all and protected them with the shelters of great stone; Epsilon, the yellow dragon,  illuminated the world and gave the people the hope in their hearts; and Sigma, the black dragon, gave the world the night sky and the ability to dream.

          During this glorious time, no one knew fear... but again, the peace would not last.

          A dark creature threatened this peaceful world.  It was the Sentient being of Nothingness and Omni's eldest child, Omicron.  Omicron became jealous of his brothers' fame and challenged them for greater control of the Heavens and guardianship of Celestica.  Their battle ravaged the Heavens and shook the cosmos themselves with their great strength.

          After ten days of the relentless fighting, Alpha and Omega were able to defeat Omicron but did not have the heart to slay their brother.  Instead, the Gods of Balance sealed Omicron away in a coffin of crystal and banished him into the heart of Celestica where his touch of evil could not spread.  They had hoped that this would be the end of the madness.

          Unfortunately, their hopes were dashed as Omicron planned for his possible defeat and corrupt one of their children before the great battle.  It was then; Sigma of Darkness fell from grace and created dark, vile creatures to take over Celestica for their imprisoned master.

          These evil creatures, called Wraiths, began to spread throughout Celestica like a dark shadow and by the time the other Elementals were aware of their brother's corrupt agenda... it was already too late.  One by one, the remaining Elementals fell and were sealed away in prisons of stone, severing their connection with the creatures under their guardianship.  As for the creatures who sustained their powers from these gods, they now had to sustain themselves on Sigma's power and in turn, became dark monsters that terrorized the humans who were gravely weakened by the absence of their guardians.  And finally, to maintain dominance over the world, the Wraiths destroyed the gateway to the Heavens, isolating Celestica from any direct contact with their deities.  The world had entered a new era of darkness.

          When all hope seemed lost, a spark of light was born.  On the day of the new year, a child was born and from its first moments of life, the child radiated with a great warm glow.  This child would be the light that would save Celestica from its dark era...
