Description
THE PROPHECY
“A maiden, one that shares both countenance and fate with another; Taken away from her roots, stolen from her mother’s womb, will return aboard a sacred chariot, exactly twelve moons before the twelfth union of light and darkness. She will unite both kingdoms through one guardian from the east and the west of the great river. Severe as a gale, loath in eyes like windows to a stormy sea emblazoned with frozen sunlight yet pure as life’s elixir and a nightingale’s song, an element will win the maiden’s heart and the key to the hidden fortress.”
-Fu, the Seventh Elyxian Oracle
A/N: TO MY VALUED READERS: THIS FIC IS UNDER RECONSTRUCTION. I AM NOT CHANGING ANY OF THE CONTENTS. THE STORY REMAINS AS IS BESIDES SOME MINOR ALTERATIONS (I.E. I THOUGHT D.O. AND KRIS' NAME HERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN KYUNGSOO AND YI FAN RESPECTIVELY BECAUSE THEIR NAMES DIDN'T SOUND FIT FOR AN OLD WORLD), STILL THE CONTENT OR PLOT OF THE STORY WILL NOT CHANGE. HOWEVER, I'LL BE HONEST. WHILE I WAS WRITING THIS, I NEVER TRIED TO PROOFREAD AND EDIT THE CONTENTS. THE MOMENT I FINISHED THE CHAPTERS, I MERELY POSTED THEM WHICH RESULTED TO A LOT OF TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS THAT SOMETIMES MADE THE GRAMMAR LOOK WRONG AND I JUST HATED RE-READING IT AND SEEING THOSE. I ALSO DECIDED TO REMOVE THE KOREAN/CHINESE WORDS I USED HERE SUCH AS THE HONORIFICS "HYUNG" AND THE LIKE. SINCE I AM WRITING IN ENGLISH, I THOUGHT OF NOT INCLUDING THEM ANYMORE. I DIDN'T CHANGE THE JUMPING POV STYLE IN WHICH I HAVE WRITTEN THIS FIC, BUT I HAVE CHANGED HOW I INDICATED WHO'S POV IT IS BY JUST PLACING THEIR NAMES AT THE TOP OF EACH DIVISION. I JUST THOUGHT IT'D BE NICER INSTEAD OF PUTTING THIS: -SHINHYE'S POV-. BESIDES THAT, I HAVE TRANSFERRED THE INFORMATION THAT WAS USED TO BE PROVIDED IN THE FOREWORD AND ALSO DID SOME ALTERATIONS ON THEM. FEEL FREE TO CHECK IT HERE. THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING AND COMMENTING. TO MY NEW SUBSCRIBERS, I THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. *BOWS*
Foreword
PROLOGUE
For thousands of years, Elyxo had existed under the guidance of two celestial beings – Kiyo and Maru. In the past, the land was one, whole nation, harmonious and peaceful, until the war of the sun and moon erupted. The war lasted for more than fifty years which made Kiyo and Maru displeased. Disappointed and seeking vengeance to the Elyxians, the two gods decided to divide the land, creating the Elyxian River to stand guard to the only passage – the Exo Bridge.
The people, regardless of their side in the war, were trapped where they were as the river rose high up to the sky. Many died in the struggle as the seasons weren’t following the same pattern as before, even the time of the day. Those who willed themselves to survive soon called the now separate lands as “Korinthia” and “Meropia” and started rebuilding.
The two gods were pleased by their actions, however, they wouldn’t allow such wars to rise again so the river stayed there, serving as a reminder to their forefathers’ folly.
It had been peaceful until the people decided that they wanted to be united with each other again. An oracle by the name Fu stated twelve prophecies that would happen in succession within the next twelve centuries, each needed to be fulfilled by the twelfth moon of the twelfth year of the next century. The prophecies should be fulfilled with attention to the details so as to reveal the Exo Bridge.
Every twelfth year of the century, the ancient scrolls are brought out and the new prophecy would be read to the heirs of the elements. Each time, they would fulfill the prophecy without delay and every time, the power of the river guardians becomes weaker and weaker. The guardians were not pleased about that idea as they would turn into mere Elyxians once the prophecies were fulfilled. It was to their advantage that the last prophecy involved them.
Eighteen years prior to the present day in Elyxo, the guardian that fathered the prophesied maiden that would reveal the bridge escaped from Elyxo into another world. With that, his power disappeared and it got harder for the portal guards to track him down.
However, prophecies are prophecies. They would be fulfilled one way or the other regardless of the odds. After the guardian who escaped died, his life force went back to where he came from and through that, the oracles were able to locate the promised maiden. To their surprise, they didn’t find one, but two of them, making the result quite vague for everyone, even to the two gods. The oracles were then forbidden to divulge what they’ve found out to the Elyxians as ordered by the two gods. In turn, it would lead to trouble that might either unite or split the two kingdoms for good.
And so it starts...
