Awakening
In the era preceding Paradise's awakening, a belief held strong across the diverse landscapes of the world. This belief spoke of an otherworldly power, Paradise,
said to possess the ability to change the world in the eyes of the beholder. It is unclear as to how or why this belief persisted in every culture, despite these cultures having almost no contact with each other before the awakening, due to the Shadow Spirits that lurked across each border.
Many have speculated that Paradise itself refused to be forgotten, ingraining itself onto the world itself and the people in it.
The turning point arrived when one individual managed to acquire its powers, its secrets and changed the world forever. A little girl, who wanted nothing more than to reconnect with her mother, sparked Paradise to sing her mother's tunes as their spirits danced together, once again. Little is known as to what the girl has experienced, what she saw, what she experienced, and what made her worthy of obtaining such a power.
I personally accompanied the girl myself, traveling with her in search of Paradise, until her final breath. You may find more of our adventures here. You may also not believe in my testimony, and to that, I say, that is fair. — Marley
The skies responded with a grand spectacle with a
veil of green and blue, a veil large enough to envelop the entire world for several days and nights. No matter where you were, you would feel the intense aura of the veil, signifying a new era for us all. This manifestation of Paradise's awakening captivated the world, proving the common belief to be true.
Powers and Abilities
Many cultures have believed in different interpretations of Paradise and its mechanisms. There are different ideas of how Paradise manifests itself, how it chooses an individual or how an individual could find it, what challenges one must face to obtain it, what one sees and feels when obtaining it, and how the world changes through it. The following are the common ideas and features that many cultures believe to be true:
Paradise is World-Changing
People frequently mention Paradise as the way to change the world itself.
One who obtains Paradise becomes powerful, able to harness its abilities and affect the world. No matter the intention, it is clear by many cultures that obtaining Paradise shifts the rules of the world and how we live in it. We adapt to the new age, for better or for worse. No matter the interpretations of how to obtain Paradise, once an individual receives its power, we are at the mercy of the individual and how they wish to shift the rules we have today.
Paradise's Capabilities are Endless
Paradise is a
sea of boundless potential. Its capabilities are endless, only limited by the desires of those who sought its influence. Anything is possible with its power. Anything can be transformed. Perhaps the very world we live in is an accumulation of different Paradise manifestations. Perhaps its laws and nature were formed by the wishes of individuals. While we may never know for sure, not many deny the possibility.
Effects on Our World
The awakening of Paradise ushered a new era in the form of the
disappearance of Shadow Spirits. The Shadow Spirits that once terrorized civilizations and prevented the connection of regions, retreated at the sights of Paradise, their influence waning all across the world. The world experienced a collective sigh of relief as the once ominous shadows yielded to the soothing glow of the aurora.
The dispersion of Shadow Spirits enabled societies to venture beyond their isolated confines. Cultures, separated by the dangers of Shadow Spirits, began to reconnect.
The revival of communication, trade, and shared knowledge ensued, fostering a renewed sense of unity and collaboration. Paradise's awakening served as a symbol of change, a beacon that guides the people and their dreams.
