The Guardian Origins

The Beginning

In the beginning, the planet "Equus" was nothing more than a bleak and dreary wasteland.The elements of nature were harsh, unforgiving, and mostly uncontrollable. After countless years of battle between the unified races and the elements, the leaders of the Unified Races and the elements came to an agreement that would benefit them both.

The elements requested that certain powerful members of their race would be able to "merge" with an individual of one of the unified races. Once a bearer was chosen, the individual would be allowed to use the power of the elements, and receive immortality in exchange for having to carry said element's soul until they were killed or worse. Since the element's bodies are composed mostly of strong and unstable magic, strong strains of magic and time would cause the element to "Burn out" and disappear into the void until they were re-born into another unstable body of an element. The rebirth of an element meant that the elements would have none of they past experiences or power until they matured once more and repeated the process, causing advancement to be impossible.

The main leaders of the Unified Races, Princess Celestia of Equestria, King Steelbeak of Griffonstone, and Queen Ryages of the Badlands, in return to the elements requests, responded that the elements must move themselves to the void where they will be able to experience the world as time passes. The main few elements would be able to stay and influence society, not directly but gradually.

After many compromises and slight changes to the agreement, the pact was made and the physical bodies and presences of the elements went into the void and the first few bearers of the elements were chosen, and thus our story begins.
