34 End of Chapter Six || Breaking Icy Hearts (2/2)

It was a losing battle, and after seeing the great destruction wrought upon their kingdoms, Water and Light resolved to split from Sol'h'meyr. By withdrawing, the war would cease, and they could protect Cyrienne from death because only she could fill the elemental void generated by their egress.

So, with a great sword, they fractured the land and took the fragments with them into another dimension. And above where the forsaken sword had pierced the ground, a spacial tear traversed to Earth, creating a portal which dragged countless humans into Sol'h'meyr.

The human influx soon begot new creatures known as demons and spirits, the embodiments of the dark and light recesses of their souls. This war would later become known as the Great Elemental War.

The departure of Water and Light enabled the remaining elemental gods to easily discover Cyrienne's castle. Upon breaking the castle's protective spell, rain magic surged across the surrounding lands.

To stem the cascade, the gods sealed Cyrienne's power with Water and Light's abandoned sword. The sword then became known as the Sword of Cyrienne.

Afterwards, they relocated Cyrienne to a remote human village in a barren land. Finally, the weary gods decided to merge themselves with Sol'h'meyr as it was the only way to restore the broken world.

Over the centuries, Cyrienne's rain power revitalized the lands around the poor village, and it flourished into an economic hub. From there she established the center of her new kingdom, As'rien.

She blessed the original human villagers with elemental rain power, and the family she stayed with became the royals. She also founded As'pyze, the safe haven for humans, and the Knight Mage Academy, the premier school of magic and combat, with her closest aides, the original Knight-Mages.

One day, Cyrienne peered into the portal to Earth and spied a young man. She fell in love and crossed over to Earth to pursue him. The Sword of Cyrienne remained in Sol'h'meyr in order to sustain the lands.

Today's world now persists without the presence of the elemental gods and follows the royal rule of the five main kingdoms: As'eryt, As'fyre, As'iyse, As'rien, and As'pyze. Sol'h'meyr has existed for eight thousand years.
