Do you like fairy tales? Let me tell you one that happened long before we were born, long before we started counting from year 1. When not only people roamed the earth, but also creatures only outwardly resembling them, and some not so similar. When the universe lived as one and the only boundary between dimensions was the will to walk through the door.
In that distant time, high in the heavens, where the sun set at noon, coloring the earth with the gentle warmth of its rays, there were islands. They magically or not so much, according to their owners - pure science, lived the Agorans. A race that had the courage to step through the doors of its dimension and live side by side with humans.
The Agorans were a peaceful people, composed mainly of scientists and researchers, they quickly established friendly relations with humans, sharing their experiences. But a second race also crossed the dimensional threshold,The Sakrates, on the other hand, were a warlike race, conquerors who had no mercy. They were not interested in general progress, they were not looking for new acquaintances, exchange of experience or any other kind of connections. They were only interested in territory and resources.
Thus, soon there was a war between the three races. The Sakrats tried to enslave the earth and the people, who, despite the resistance, were powerless against the firepower of the attackers. But this was not the only reason why the Sacrates were victorious. The ability of the demon-like creatures to play with your mind is what tipped the scales in their favor.
The Agorans, aided by science and invention, forced themselves to protect the land and its people, using their strongest weapon, their Guardians and Knights. Warriors capable of unheard of things. Similar to those we see in the movies, with powers beyond human, much closer to divine, the guardians resisted and supported by their knights, they managed, at the cost of many casualties, to push back Sacrates.
Are you wondering what exactly these Guardians and their Knights were like? Let's digress from history for a moment to describe them to you. But in order to do so, it is appropriate to say that the Guardians are only and only of the female gender. Why, I don't know myself, it was something related to DNA passed from mother to daughter and yet, not every Agorin girl had these abilities. However, the Guardians had gifts, each different, unique in their own right, beyond the imagination of anything human beings had ever seen. But that wasn't exactly true either.
As each guardian possessed power, so power in itself demanded sacrifices. She exhausted the guardian, sometimes even leading to her death. Their knights appeared here. Each of them, one and only a man, was the power that the guardian needed, which helped them to survive by their own strength. Again, I'm not very familiar with the scientific terms (maybe I should have studied more), but I'll try to explain it in a simple way so you can understand the Guardian-Knight connection.
The knights were the foundation of the guardians' power. Although they did not possess one themselves, their role was to share and balance the guardian's energy, which helped her control her power and take less damage from using it. And the stronger the bond between the two and the stronger her knight was, the greater the guardian's power was and the less damage she did to her, respectively, the longer the guardian could continue to use her ,before her body wears out.
Thus, the relationship between a guardian and a knight was based on friendship, bloodline-kinship, or the strongest - love. Forming the relationship between the two, they also received distinctive signs called "Chains", which were expressed in the appearance of identical tattoos somewhere on their bodies. The moment the guardian and her knight formed the bonds, they lived together, trying to build on the "Chains" by strengthening the bond between them.
Personally, I can't at all envy the poor girls and boys forced by some unknown force to share their lives whether they want to or not. But I guess nothing in this world is perfect, right? Anyway, about that I will tell you a little more thoroughly later in the story. Now let's get back to what's going on between the three races.
Backed by the wars, the Agorans and humans managed to repel the Sakrats and close the portal between the two dimensions. The victims of both allied races were many, but their friendship strengthened. However, for some reason, unknown to either the humans or the Agorans remaining on earth, one day the islands simply disappeared. The doors between dimensions were closed and somehow, indestructibly sealed.
Over time, the Agorans and their friendship with humans were forgotten, remaining only as words in the annals and legends of the abandoned foreigners. They formed a small communities, which was concentrated mostly in present-day South Korea. Their successors lived among the people, studied with the earthlings, worked with them, but never forgot and secretly kept alive the memory of their ancestors, guardians and their knights.
How do I know? Think people suddenly disappearing and appearing on the other side of the world, clips of lightning fast people saving bystanders from accidents, super strong people able to lift a bus. They are everywhere in the world, scattered, helping, but hidden in the shadows and waiting. What are they waiting for? Maybe the Agorans will remember to come back for them, maybe the time will come for them to reveal themselves to us, or simply that the Earth will need saving again.
Whatever the reason, aren't you interested in what their lives are like, what exactly are the Agorans left on earth and how their generations have developed? Are there any guardians still left or were they born, what are their current knights like? Do they even still exist, and if so, what are their powers?
My name is Athena, I am an ordinary girl in the eyes of people and even more ordinary in the eyes of my own race and myself. And in order to diversify my boring, modest and inconspicuous life, I decided to tell you this tale, which has been passed down from generation to generation from within the walls of the "mansion" where I live.And not because I want to reveal our secret, but because at least once in my life, I wanted to be the one that someone would see.
