LOSING TRANQUILITY. Chapter One.

Long had the realm of Calsienaria lived in tranquility. So long in fact,
that the immortals of old had ascended and those that replaced them had
never realized tranquility could end. And so when the darkness came, only
the King of the Immortals felt fear. For fear was an emotion of old and as
such, had long ago been lost.

Even when the fauna took to the shadows and returned mutated with a thirst
for blood, fear was not found.

Even when creatures from the deeps of the sea ventured to the shallows of
Meiela, fear was not found.

Uncertainty... Confusion... Disbelief... Ignorance... but not fear.

Fear in Calsienaria was discovered on the banks of Meiela, on the fourth
day of the second moon. At least that is the theory, for the only survivors
were the creatures from the deeps that had returned to their home that very
morning.

Another event scars the banks of Meiela, on the fourth day of the second
moon. An event simultaneous to the discovery of fear: the extinction of the
Mer.

It was a sad event, the extinction of the Mer. The Mer were a peaceful
people that often helped the Immortals in matters of Sea, as only a small
number of Immortals held the ability to command the sea. In return the Mer
were aided in matters of land, it was on one of these matters of land that
an Immortal found the bodies of Mermaid and man littered along the entire
coast of Meiela. So it is theorized that on that day the Mer discovered
fear, for what else but fear would cause creatures of the sea to crawl from
safety to where death would be inevitable within minutes?

Though the discovery was made and fear began to return to the Immortals, it
was an emotion not at all recognized or understood.

Some translated fear into disbelief and ignorance, mocking others for their
rashness while believing themselves untouchable.

Some translated fear into uncertainty and confusion, which led to discord
among the Immortals much like that of the humans that were exiled to the
mountains a millennia ago.

Some translated fear into pride and bravado, announcing their loyalties to
the Royal family and their willingness to protect them into the afterlife.

It was the Immortals from the last group that enabled the King to create a
rift out of Calsienaria to a world he left long ago, a world that the
exiled humans of Calsienaria originated from, a world named Earth.

During the ceremony necessary to cause such an imbalance of nature, the
land of the Immortals was invaded. Little did the King know that it was his
compassion that brought about this attack of his Kingdom. This attack was
meticulously planned out and had been brewing for 200 years, ever since the
King had elected to exile an Immortal guilty of the highest treachery
instead of executing him like the laws of old called for.

While this Immortal was able to retain his immortality, he lost his right
to ascension forcing him to live exiled with humans for all of time. Ever
since his arrival to mountains, he devoted his life to gaining influence
over what the Immortals called the mountains of humanity. And so his plan
has finally come into place and this time he not only plans to carry out
his original treachery of killing the King's heir, he plans to eliminate
the whole royal family as well.

The King's heir is a young Immortal of 163 years of age. While to most
humans this age would be impossible to reach, especially while remaining
youthful, to his kind the Prince was that of a 16 year old boy when
compared to human life.

Unlike his people, who only studied and prospered in the arcane arts of
nature, the Prince had access to the Royal vault of Knowledge and studied
every type of magic possible. Also unlike his people, who lived in harmony
unaware of darkness, the Prince was taught the teaching of old by the King
and so the when the darkness came the Prince begged his father to for a
chance to strike back. However, due to fear, the King denied this request.

The King was a gallant King, and the fear he felt was not a fear of the
darkness or his self, it was a fear for his people and only child.

As soon as the rift was stable, without hesitance, the King made his last
decree as King by abdicating his crown, thus making his son, and
heir-apparent, King.

A flash of blinding white light envelops the room as the seat of power that
comes with being the King of the Immortals is transferred from father to
son. With the words "Never doubt yourself or my love for you" the
freshly-made King is sent by his father through the rift along with his
personal companion and a single box.

Unbeknownst to the New King, the rift remained stable for a short while
allowing his father to send 16 more of his people through to a hopefully
safer existence.


EARTH: IN AN UNKNOWN FOREST:

After hearing what sounded like a sonic boom, a girl and her parents are
awakened from sleep. Climbing out of the tent, the 16 year old girl sees a
puppy running in circles. When she goes towards the pup, it takes off in
the direction of the noise, only stopping long enough for the girl to
follow.

"Kathy, be careful! We don't know what made that noise!"  "I know mom! I'm
not stupid! Come on, we have to find the puppy before he gets lost!"

Finally catching up to the pup, Kathy finds him licking a sleepy teen boy.

 `wait he looks hurt' she thinks as she realizes he's passed out and not
asleep. `wow, this puppy is like Lassie'

The family cuts their camping trip to help the young teen. First they
gather his belongings and the pup, and then they take him to see the local
doctor who lets them take the boy home to recover.

After getting the boy into the guestroom, Kathy looks oddly at the boy
before heading to her own room to sleep.

`He has pointy ears' is her last thought before sleep takes her.



Any guesses as to what the Immortals actually are?
