Chapter 1 - PROLOGUE

Long ago in the warring continent era, where the great continents waged wars against themselves to see who is more powerful leading to shedding of unnecessary blood, people lost their homes, their loved ones, and everything they held dear.

People being captured from rival continents and being killed, children forced to work as sex workers, women and children alike being raped to death or almost to the point of death, and people being tortured in very gruesome manner.

The savagery of the masses was seen by all, and the stupidity of the leaders who just wanted to flaunt their power to the opposition, all in the name of showing off.One might ask what was this all about, this war, this killing, this madness.

Well it is a very long story, it's a struggle, a difference in ideology, a difference to the meaning of the use of power. So can you answer this, WHAT IS THE RIGHT WAY TO USE POWER?

This tale goes back 500 years ago, when people of the four continents came to discover that there's energy that flows through every living being and this energy can be harnessed to create power attacks which will be useful to them in their lives.

So they tried to make as many people awaken this power, this experiment went on for years in these continents respectively, and they gathered information as time went on, but eventually they realized only some people were able to awaken, and those who awakened where termed as MAGES.

And in time everything took a turn, the Continent that has the most Mages is the most powerful for they were used as soldiers for demonstrating the power of the continent. With this the continent started attacking each other with their Mages in small groups but over time it escalated into a full blown war, people tearing down on each other as if they were savage animals.

Lives being lost everyday, lives being destroyed, homes being taking from people, all in the name of these continents stupid leaders want to demonstrate their prowess to each other.

This war persisted for years, killing everywhere and every time. At one point these Kings said the wars are enough all far more blood has being shed unnecessarily and so why don't they sign a peace treaty to stop this war.

But when they say down to discuss this alliance it wasn't peaceful at all. This supposedly peace treaty turned into an all out altercation of words, tempers were risen, more hatred fostered towards each other and the war turned out more gruesome with more bloodshed everyday.

Years passed still this pointless display of power through war persisted and never stopped, more years passed but it still continued, more and more years persisted and this war continued, the mantle being passed down through to every generation of Kings resulting in more bloodshed, to the point where by nearly half of people in the world had died. This war still persisted. And this era of war lasted 500 years and was named as Era of the warring continents.

At last, after 500 years the throne of the Kingdom of Magnia was passed to Fred Zel Magnia XII and he single handedly united the Kingdoms and they all entered into a peace treaty.

After 500 years of bloodshed a hero had finally arrived (for all the people referred to him as a hero), he finally brought the era of the warring continents to an end, and peace that people longed for was finally here right at their doorstep.

There was merry across all the world, every one at everywhere was happy and they could now sleep in the night without worrying if they will see the following day. But let me tell you this the longer a war drags on the higher the animosity and this animosity is very difficult to get over in a few days or weeks, some even linger in others hearts till they die.

After a long time the war is finally over, the world is at peace, and the world will be entering into a new era, an era of abundance, an era of peace, an era of fair play and an era of understanding, and this era will be come to known as Sacred Era of White.

There was development, peace treaties, alliances and the Kingdom of Magnia was as the center of it all led by King Fred Zel Magnia XII. Peace had come to the people of the four great kingdoms.

But as I said the animosity of a long dragged on war is not easily erased some still exist between people and they will like to create another war in order to satisfy their own selfish ends and their greedy guts.

It's being 30 years since King Fred Zel Magnia XII brought peace to the world, life has changed, improved drastically, and all the four continents has majored in sectors that make them a very good living.

The Kingdom of Magnia went to become successful in almost every field and are considered the wealthiest continent, Servec Kingdom majored in Trade and becoming the second most prosperous led by their great King Servec Trainad XII, BeastLand known for making ships and transportation became very successful led by King Arnold Grandia VIII, all these three continents became prosperous because of their alliance and they will ever continue to be peaceful.

But one Kingdom decided to not form an alliance The Kingdom of the elves Elfheim led by Wilem Elfborn V a shady man who became king through a cunning way.

But elves considered themselves holy and associating themselves with these people would taint them.

Elfheim isolated themselves from the rest of the world and so became a poor kingdom but their poverty was mainly due to their King who would charge huge taxes yet paying them dirt for their hard work. Now the elves self acclaimed holiness had come to bite them in their face. But they turned their malice towards the three great kingdoms for their own folly and will wage another war against the world for their blunder.

This is the story of a boy from nowhere, a village in the corners of who knows where, but was blessed by the gods and became the hero of the world.

A tale that will be passed down through generations to come and to all eternity, a story so magnificent that all will be appeased whether old or young and will bring joy to their hearts and motivation to those who have lost hope. This tale will later be known as LUMINESCENCE: THE BLESSED VESSEL.

This is a story of a boy who was blessed with power beyond his wildest imagination but was humble, a good heart and gentle just like the calm breeze of the wind and transformed the world into a paradise
