Synopsis
Following hundred long years of endless conflict, the Great War of Calamity between the seven realms finally came to a closure — forging the path ahead to a new era of liberty and security. The conflict ended swiftly after heaven sent down Blessings of the Ten Archangels to the righteous people in the human realm, bringing peace and Order to the land of dawn once more. Years after the war ended, two souls of different kin with mutual feelings crossed a sacred and unspoken boundary. They met in a sinful union, ultimately giving birth to their daughter. That child was born from the lineage of Eve and the demon kin, producing life that the world had never seen before. Afraid of being hunted down by the inquisition, the couple ran far away to build their own life elsewhere — abandoning their child to the care of mother nature for good. After years passed by, the girl grew up as a runaway, rejected by all men and women she came across due to her demonic lineage and unusual origin. But one day, when she was searching for scraps of food, she was captured by the Empire and tried for a death sentence. By heaven’s will, one of the Celestia Commander stood up for her during the trial, begging that the ruling be reconsidered. They suggested using her to hunt down artifacts that were lost during the great war and retrieve them back to the Empire in return for the security of her life. In the end, her life was spared by the Royal Court in exchange for eternal servitude. Thus, marking the start of a life long journey.

Chapter 1 - Chapter 0: Fables

Let us make an exchange—

—an exchange of memories...

I dreamt of a ray of light through a crystal chalice, the light that shone from the crystal spoke to me; listen, to the parable of the forgotten stories.

The Divine ones,

The Godless ones,

All fell from the grace of His Garden, clasped their hands in absolute surrender.

Go now, in the end you will intertwine with the stories once foretold by the past winds, and awaken from your slumber in my embrace and march towards the truth..

In the first breath of life, the first creation was created of light, fulfilling their role as sinless servant of their creator.

They're the closest of beings to the mighty creator, living an eternal life of servitude and absolute submission.

Then, came fire.

Their bodies were set ablaze by their own existence.

They formed a body of their own as they grew arrogant to become the master of their own fate.

At last, creation was born of clay.

Seven different clays were gathered from the edges of the world — piled into flesh, blood and bone.

He was named Adam, the first man and the leader of mankind.

Thus, the creator created a garden in which he named Eden, the Eternal Garden for every creation.

And He promised, whoever had done good deeds in their life, a palace of gold and diamond shall be built for them in the Eternal Land where they'll last in bliss and joy.

But life was never black and white.

Years after the forgotten promises, creations were divided by their own greeds and worldly possessions.

They drew borders across the land and became the claimant of the ground which they never owned.

The humankin, the demonkin, the elven, the orcs, the dwarfs, the centaurs, the fairies.

None of them spared a thought for the other as greed possessed them beyond the promised haven.

But greed doesn't stop to bow before gold, it drives them to the point of bloodshed.

The demonkin waged war against the elven and the children of humanity in an act of spite against the wealth both realms held, marking the beginning of a horrible conquest.

Soon enough, when the news reached the surrounding realms, creations were divided into two opposing factions.

The orcs joined forces with the demonkin to fulfil their warmongering desire of destroying the lesser beings whilst the dwarfs and the elven collaborated with the human empire under the banner of unity against the aggression.

Yet the horseman and the flying fairies stayed silent throughout the conflict.

The centaurs safekeep their temples on the far away mountains, isolating themselves from the harsh of the war.

While the fairies hide behind their trees, hoping that one day magic will restore peace among the people.

As the war prolonged, both sides took a massive hit, the toll of death kept on rising by the day, and no life was spared by the severity of the endless battles.

Even so, the demonkin and the orcs pressed further, marching into the doorstep of their enemies — they were certain of their unpromised victory.

In that moment, the ruler of the human realm realized; unity will not bring them the victory they desperately struggled to achieve.

They must enforce a new law on earth, a rule that breaks the law of human nature.

They must enforce "Order".

To achieve such, they called upon the divine whom they have long forgotten, and once again announced His name and sovereignty over their fate like the lost sheep and the shepherd.

With haste, the Lord answered their cries to salvation, he sent down armies from heaven in the form of an angelic blessing.

Warriors with faith shone brightly as the cloud dispersed to give way to the radiant ray of light as it engulfed the Celestia Knights in their magnificence.

────────────────────────

Among them was selected by Seraphim the Eternity, crushing hordes of foes.

Chayot, the General of Order.

Thrones, the Grace of Absolute.

Metatron, the Executor of His Law.

Dominions, the Enforcer of His Law.

Michael, the Commander of His Army.

Gabriel, the Messenger of His Scripture.

Raphael, the Bearer of His Mercy.

Uriel, the Guardian of His Garden.

And Chamuel, the Peacekeeper.

────────────────────────

Granted the mercy of heaven, the human race pushed back on the demonkin's endless march towards their territory — cleansing the realm from the threat of evil.

By the time a hundred years went by, the war came to a stop as the orcs forces retreated back into their territory and the Demon King announced their surrender.

It was the first time in a century that the world was finally given the time to breathe.

But that was not the end of the tale. Even after the war, conflicts would occur, one way or another.

And in hindsight, the most unexpected event came to light.

A human from the lineage of Eve, and a demonkin born of fire fell in mutual love, eventually leading both of them to a sinful pleasure.

Blinded by lust and affection, they were oblivious of what boundary they had crossed, the womb of the human woman now bearing the seed of a demon lineage.

When the girl was born into the world, she was left all alone, sheltered only by mother nature whilst the responsible ones ran far away from their own duty…

And thus, the child named Sylvia was forced to live under the constant burden of the chain put on to her.
