In the beginning the sky was dark and the ground lifeless.  The air was flat, the colors dull.  Then out of the sky an array of light came and touched down onto the world.  The beams of light, 34 in number, spread across the land, breathing life into the dark world.  The dull colors vanished and became vibrant, the air soothing, water ran from the top of mountains, filling the oceans below.  The sky filled with clouds, ones for storms, ones for shade, ones for relaxing.  The grass grew a beautiful green, trees and flowers spouted from the cold, hard stone. 

Out of the ground, creatures were born.  Critters of all sizes and shapes and species, ones that could control magnificent powers, powers that aid the balance of the world.  The creatures spread across the land, playful in nature, overseeing this newly birthed world.

At the center of two major regions of the world, the beams of light created a tower.  A tower that would represent the five life giving lights, the lights of Darkness, Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind.  At the top of these towers the lights placed a special source, something of uncontrollable power.

The lights, proud of what they had accomplished, flew off in different directions across the land.  Where they stopped, they created temples, in honor of the power that they hold, 34 in total.  Before they lay themselves to rest, the lights took on semi-human form, for spirits they are and they take their power to finish their last tasks.  Together they sealed away four powerful spirits, powerful beyond life itself, and with them a fifth that would maintain their balance to be sealed separately, these spirits to only be released when the proper soul finds them.

As the spirits lay their heads down to rest, they use what energy they had to engrave a special name onto the top arch of one of the towers.  Upon it they placed the mightiest of titles...Elementia...
