Two worlds.

One world exists as we see it and the other a manifestation made from our hopes and dreams.

That land is known as Fee.

It was once a land of 'Happily Ever After', where prosperity reigned, and regardless of your lot it would always come out okay if you were good and kind and brave.

A heroine had come uniting all of the lands together and banishing the so called evils from the world, relegating them to the shadows.  To keep the world in a state of peace, the heroine created 4 artifacts and gave them to 4 different 'princesses'.  Heroines and champions of their own stories.

The creatures from the shadow side of the world of Fee were not happy about this...

After all, why couldn't they have their happily ever afters if everyone else could?

The strongest of the dark creatures of Fee, a witch named Faustus, decided enough was enough.

At first she would send minion after minion into the light world of Fee, but realizing that they couldn't stand up to the power of the artifacts she sacrificed her own life as a final act of power.  

Using her blood she summoned a dark power forth binding the weapons so the princesses couldn't use them.

Using her eyes she summoned forth a dark creature, and without their weapons killed the princesses.

And with her heart, she summoned forth a darkness, turning the once blue skies of Fee grey and plunging the world into chaos.

The world was no longer called Fee.  

It was now the world of Walpurgis: The world of witches.

The original hero, recognizing the darkness did the only thing she could do.

She created one last artifact and then gave her life in turn.

Having used most of her own powers to create the weapons she was weak and no longer as strong as she used to be... however the small glimmer of light within her allowed her to send the souls of the princesses and her own to the other world where they would be resurrected.
