River's Dream
Prologue
Five years ago, four girls discovered a secret that would bind them to each other forever. They learned that they each carry the spirit of a Guardian, the Protectors and creators of the Universe, within themselves. At first, they refused to believe that they were not the people they thought they were. Eventually, they grew accustom to their new identities and dedicated their time to developing their newly acquired skills with weapons and powers. Through this, they learned the reason for their existence, to fight for existence. Their many past battles against the Destroyers, served as their guide through their training. If the Guardians ever lost a battle, the Universe would become an infinite void ruled by Darkness. Existence would cease to be. This knowledge drove the Guardians to fight amongst themselves for leadership. their true leader, Aurora, the Keeper of the Light, had not surfaced to restore order, so the girls went their separate ways, vowing never to speak of and to each other ever again. That was five years ago, and now it looks like things are about to change...
