1 Rise Of The New Gods

12 million years ago The Light walkers, The Earth walkers, The Astrowalkers, and The Shadow walkers lived on the world of Elysium (A-Li-See-Um) but it didn't stay that way for long. As time passed the Shadow walkers were pushed out of their homes and forced to live in Gehenna (Ga-Hen-Na). It's the biggest valley in Elysium and because of the thick clouds that cover the valley it only gets sunlight for a portion of the day. The valley floods periodically because it borders the Kireina (Beautiful in Japanese) forest, spanning nearly one third of Elysium. The Light walkers, The Earth walkers, and The Astrowalkers came together to seal The Shadow walkers in the abyss. Light walkers harness the sun and moon, believing in the power of light. Gifted with longevity and superior intelligence. Their skin has a faint yellow glow to them because it can reflect light rays, in the dark their skin has a sun light glow to it. Earth walkers harness the power of earth and the elements, believing in nature to govern life and agriculture. They are gifted with great power and abilities. Their skin has a magma-like texture and they glow like magma in the night.  Astrowalkers utilize the sky and space believing it to govern everything under the sun. They are gifted with immense physique, wisdom and foresight. Their skin distorted their surrounding like a mirage and in the night they have a semi transparent glow to them. Shadow walkers have lived at the outskirts of the countryside in caves and ruins. They believed in the night to provide guidance and protection. Gifted with courage, diligence, fertility and madness but they were cursed with poisonous touch and toxic blood. 

Curse to destroy everything and anything they touch where there intentionally or not. Gifted with great fertility but at the cost of a short and austere life. Being forced to live at the edge of civilization they are more like cavemen, with  disproportionate and disfigured forms. Living in the shadows their skins have turned purple-ish almost violet like color to it but as hard and sharp as an obsidian blade but their skins have become smooth and flaky. Any member of the four clans can bear a child with another member of the four clans, but it is forbidden to conceive a child with any member of the Shadow clans. Because only the dominant genes are passed down to their descendants and that determines what clan they belong to. But with every new generation a small chance of them are born with Shadow walker blood, no matter how pure their blood maybe. Those possessing the Shadow walker blood in them; born outside of the Shadow walker clan look normal in regard to their respective clans but slightly darker and they have the Shadow walker clan's trade mark flaky skin. Easily noticeable at birth and at close examination of their skin. The power of the four clans reside in their souls and by infusing their souls with power they are capable of manipulating and controlling them to form a variety of weapons and equipment.            

Many lives were lost in the process of sealing the Shadow Walkers, mostly by the other three clans; their Elders suffered grave injuries, while the blood of their fallen children was used to create Chrono Sight the seal to the abyss. The seal was created by the three clans in order to stop the Shadow walkers, utilizing 300 of the strongest Elders from the clans combining all their powers for 5 days to create The Chrono Sight. And another 5 days to seal the Shadow walkers at the cost of their lives. All romances of life were sealed in the abyss, not a trace of their existence or the life forms native to Gehenna was left in the valley. Although their clan was the smallest, the Shadow Walkers were the most dangerous and destructive out of the 4 clans; they would consume anything and everything in their path. Stuck in the abyss they were forced to use their souls to construct an enormous castle called Babylon to protect themselves from the void of the abyss and the creatures that were sealed with them. Those close to death would sacrifice their soul to strengthen the castle and their bodies were used to lure out the creatures in order to kill and feed the people. The urge to survive and one day break out of their prison to exact their revenge on the 4 clans flued their rage and hatred. 

Even with the Shadow shadower sealed, individuals in the population are still born with the shadow clan gene within them, no matter what clan they are from. Individuals born in another are capable of being born carrying Shadow Walkers blood, any individual that is born with more than 5 percent Shadow walker blood is immediately euthanized. If they're left uncontrolled they will overpopulate and disrupt the natural balance, their curse allows them to share, steal and use the power of their entire clan into certain individuals making their powers ungodly. At any given time only 3 percent of the population can have Shadow Walker blood within them either dormant or present in their genetics. If that number ever got to 10 percent the seal holding the Shadow Walkers would shatter unleashing a wave of destruction that would annihilate the world. Their true name was erased and forgotten forever lost to time and history. They were given a new name, the abyss crawlers and even that was spoken and hush hush. The Elders came together to form the Heavenly Tribunal, possessing powers akin to gods they were pried and worship to by their respective clans. The Heavenly Tribunal created the triumvirate Fathers by giving them immense power and abilities to govern over the three tribes. Guarding the triumvirate Fathers where the Elder guards, they are the 3 most gifted individuals in their clans possessing the most power and abilities.  After the gruesome battle the three clans came together to build a school and combat force, in order to effectively educate the new generations that would come after them and to efficiently combat any Shadow Walkers that might break through the seal or be born into the world. Only knowledge depicting the Abyss crawlers as uncontrollable violence, bloodthirsty savages and barbarians were allowed to be taught at the school and the courage, bravery, and selflessness of the Heavenly Tribunal who stood up to defeat them. By doing so the people would be more inclined to want them to stay sealed in the abyss. For millennia the people were taught to fear and hate the Abyss crawlers, their existence became Myths and legends. Their forecity became stuff of nightmares and the thought they might one day break the seal sent people into hysteria making them violent and delusional. The three clans have the ability to harness the power of their God to increase their power and by praying they can call on their ancestors to embody them with their knowledge, experience and power.   

Every 2 millennia a child would be born in the Abyss with incredible power, they called them Aasha (Hope in Hindi), they would absorb the powers of the Shadow walker elders in order to try and break the seal. Ather failing to break the seal they would become an Elder and save the powers for the next Aasha. After 12 million years a child was born with the power to pass through the seal, infused with the power of the shadow clan the Elders passed him through the seal and left him in the Kireina forest with the name of Anavi.
