The Story of the Astra Triology

     Once upon a time, there was a peaceful town called Astra in the evil kingdom of Julins. Through their land ran a river called the Timlin. There were five rivers running through the kingdom of Julins. But, while the people of Astra took care of their river, the people of other towns polluted and/or dried out their own rivers.  The greedy and selfish people from the neighboring town of Gibea, having polluted their own river beyond restoration, wanted to take over the Timlin for themselves.

     The Gibeans strongest magician, Humis, cast a spell of darkness over Astra. The source of his power came from the powerful Crystal of Darkness. The strongest Gibean fighters set out to capture the land of the Timlin River. But the Astrans were more powerful fighters, driven by their Crystal of Light.

     Humis, angered by the Gibeans inability to claim the Timlin River, disguised himself as the Astran king and entered Astra. He kidnapped the real Astran king and threw him in his dungeon in Gibea. Posing as the Astran king, he went and took the Crystal of Light and hid it deep within the catacombs of Astra. Because of the evil of the rest of the kingdom of Julins, he could not leave Astra with it.

     He used the Crystal of Darkness to seal the Crystal of Light behind four locked doors, and guarded each door with five ice demons. He sent Gibean soldiers into Astra to keep the civilians in check and to prevent anyone from retrieving the Crystal of Light. The Astrans were powerless against the Gibeans, with their Crystal of Darkness, without their Crystal of Light and their real king...
