Legend of the First Wielders
Summary
Centuries ago during the height of the Great War when the Shade had all but pushed humanity to extinction, Humanity seeing no hope is said to have looked up to the heavens and prayed for salvation. It is said salvation did come in the form of two beings, a man and a woman that appeared in the middle of the battlefield capable of using natural energy, the elements as weapons against the Shade. It wasn’t until much later that the term “spirit wielding” was accredited to the mysterious warriors but of those who know the myth believe they were the first wielders of spirit energy. These two warriors are said to have fought the Shade for many long years and with their abilities were able to push the ancient evil back to the point that humanity had regained a foothold, no longer faced with certain extinction. However, in the face of this evil the female wielder began to change, her mind twisted from the Shade began to question why they served the weaker humans as weapons in their war when with their power they should be ruling this world. Sensing the change in his partner the male wielder confronted his partner on the battlefield, expecting to meet with his partner peacefully he was betrayed and ambushed by his former partner resulting in a cataclysmic battle that left the battlefield, a small island off the coast a desolate wasteland however the battle wore both warriors of much of their strength and resulting in a draw between the two powerful warriors forcing both to retreat to safety. The male wielder returned to the walled cities of humanity and the female wielder to the shadows where the armies of the Shade lurked. What the two warriors did not realize was that the force of their battle had changed the very nature of the world around them, now others were being born with abilities similar to the two originals, The birth of spirit wielders now humanity’s sword to strike back at the Shade. The two original wielders would once again clash many years later, the man leading the armies of humanity now filled with spirit wielders like himself and the woman leading an army of Shade that seemed to drown out the world would meet in the final battle of the nearly three century war. The two forces met in battle and their clash shifted the land and changed the world once again like the battle of the two wielders many years before, the battle reached a stalemate however neither army able to gain ground against the other. However, the male wielder possessed a secret, he had forged a weapon a powerful sword said to have been infused not only with his own powers but with the power of the world itself. This sword he called Eon was used in the climax of the battle when the man was forced to use its power against his former friend and partner when she threatened to destroy humanity and the world itself. In his anguish the first wielder used the full force of Eon to not only destroy his former partner but bind and seal her very spirit within the weapon itself never to be released again in fear that the woman, his former partner may seek revenge against humanity. The legend goes on to say that the power used to seal away the wicked wielder cost the man all his remaining strength, now unable to fight the man disappeared after splitting Eon into four pieces and scattering the fragments across the world. No one knows what became of the First Wielder but many believe the knight orders were created in his image
