The First War of Magi

This Midi is NOT Playing. Just click here...

             In the ancient times of the Balkian Empire lied the beginning of a war to later be known as “The War of Magic.” This war had simple ideals set by the Balk and the Hughe, the two superpowers vying for total domination. The Balk, on one hand, wanted technology as the wave of the future, sensing that the power of magic was wrong and, for the most part, against what the technology that they’ve been building for years. Gaining popularity for the rich and money hungry nobles who invested in such corporation, the Balk had a minority of the people but a majority of the monetary income, which in the end does lead to greater power. On the other side of war was the Hughe, a nation who thrived on the well being of the power of manna. The Hughe gained support from poor peasants and meager soldiers who viewed this ill-used power of manna as a source to gain relief from their suffering. Both sides, however, were being controlled by a power greater than one can possibly imagine. For the newly founded Balk empire was run by none other than fate itself, Afini. Afini was the first king of the Balkian empire, taking disguise as a king in order to gain all-out power of the planet in hopes to raise his extreme power. Fini, although not King Hughe, was the manipulator of the war. In true essence, the Balk never did claim that technology was the way that they wanted to see fit for the future, but rather stayed quiet and was just thought of as the technologist that they so truly are. The Bal, led by King Hughe XI, stated claims the Balk have never made, stirring up the war. This stir would later lead onto one of the greatest known wars ever in the history of Kintara, one of the longest and saddest wars ever to be beheld. This war, the War of Magic, would later be seen as a complete waste, but learning from history is yet to be seen. Even after this long and brutal war, it was yet to repeat itself in history once again.

            Born onto the Balkian Empire was said to be two children, one of complete good, and the other of pure evil. However, the story is far from the truth. In reality, one child was born by the name of Garamond. His very own soul was ripped by his miserable life, and he upon created two personas, Garamond and Garnada. He would act out of fits of rage as a person named Garnada. Garamond, a Holy Knight of the Balkian Empire, even searched for the criminal Garnada in hopes to execute him for his wrongdoing, not even knowing that he was the culprit. However, on one fateful day, Garamond Lafayette visited his brother Melduga Lafayette, known for his great powers of magic. Garamond visited him on no notice, as Melduga was considered a “heretic” by the Balk for practicing the arts of magic. Little to his knowledge, did he find out of his other self. Garamond, for no reason beyond his own control, was transformed into that hideous beast inside him. He then killed his brother, coming to realize that he himself was the Beast Garnada. Garamond’s blade, the Mighty Sword Garamond, was resonating. Garamond stabbed his blade into his heart to end his misery, but to no avail. His blade, having reached both the evil and good that lies within the soul of mankind, became none other than the fabled Holy Sword Garamond. Grabbing his blade once again, he was about to yet again commit the act of death. However, fate itself came upon the soul of Garamond. Fate declared that he would grant upon the soul of Melduga to return upon the earth in return for the death of his very own self. Garamond, not knowing who this entity was, gave upon his soul to this fate. The pure evil that once lurked inside of Garamond’s soul was removed, and created from it was two sword, the Holy Sword Garamond and the Evil Sword Garnada. Garamond, now being owned by Afini, was to be sent to the Time Rift Region to spend his life in agony. For upon this, the end of the war began. The legend of brother upon brother was as false as one can ever believe. Garamond, a hero of the War of Magi, was also the one who was known as the villain. Garamond himself was both Garamond and Garnada. However, in returning Melduga’s soul, he was transformed into a supreme power known to be Quantum Zero. No one has record of this Qunatum Zero, and there truly is no record of how the war ended. Historians long since made up the facts of history and they were believed to be true. History itself is lost, but perhaps dwelling upon the past is as false as a pseudo one. Fate unto fate… man unto man…
