Arc Crystals

The Arc Crystals, also known as the Rainbow Crystals, are the Red Crystal, Orange Crystal, Yellow Crystal, Green Crystal, Blue Crystal, and Purple Crystal.

## History

The Arc Crystals were created by a Dayin in circa 4000 BC. They were taken care of by The Anomaly for many years, before being gifted to Salem, Zurie, Nekia, Mumin, Selima, and Basil of Qaryat Alnaar in 3056 BC. They remained in the possessions of the six for twelve years, until a freak accident in 3044 BC. The six had the collective idea to attempt a combination spell to help them fight The X, but the spell went awry, and the six ended up trapped inside their respective crystals.

However, the accident caused the crystals to become more powerful. The crystals, or rather the lingering consciousnesses inside, would chose who was destined to wield them in the next generation as they saw fit.

Nekia, the red crystal, would chose people who were lively, warm, and caring. She believed that they were representative of the warmth of fire, and that someone of those traits would careful with their destructive abilities.

Mumin, the orange crystal, would chose people who were creative and calm. He felt that these people would be the best suited to the creativity of crystal, and use his power to the fullest.

Selima, the yellow crystal, would chose people whose priorities lie with others rather than themselves. She felt that these people would be the kinds to heal and bring light to those injured in the darkness.

Basil, the green crystal, would chose people who were smart and understood the world around them. He believed that these people were the most likely to respect their powers and use them for good.

Zurie, the blue crystal, would chose people who would protect those around them at all costs. These people would often be destructive with their abilities, but she felt that it didn't matter so long as everyone else was safe.

Salem, the purple crystal, sought out people with ambition, smarts, and cunning. He, being pharaoh of Qaryat Alnaar, was adamant that such traits were necessary to become as powerful as the crystal would allow and lead the coming generation. However, Salem would often fail to look at the other traits connected to the ones he sought out, resulting in many purple crystal wielders abusing their power.

The Arc Crystals had many wielders over the years, including Cyrus Anuenue, grandfather of Eric Anuenue and orange crystal wielder, the man who wrote The Guide. Cyrus travelled the world, researching various monsters, but primarily experimenting with the Arc Crystals and their abilities, alongside the other wielders of his time. He eventually ended up back in Qaryat Alnaar, meeting the locals. However, that was the last stop of his journey. Cyrus settled in Seattle, Washington, and had a grandson, Eric Anuenue.

When Cyrus passed away in 1999, he gifted the Arc Crystals and The Guide to Eric. Eric took on the red crystal, and begun fighting crime at thirteen. He eventually met Abaddon Watson, Sophia Titan, Kevin Wildwood, Camile Armire, and Albus Alarie, and the Arc Crystals chose the additional five to be their wielders. However, they weren't the only ones. In 2003, Eric asked a girl, Iris Watson, to prom, and performed a spell to separate the red crystal into two pieces: the red crystal, and the newfound Pink Crystal. Iris took on the pink crystal, and together with their friends, the White Crystal was formed. However, in 2021, tragedy struck. Kevin, Sophia, Camile, and Eric were all murdered by Abaddon. Abaddon was defeated by Eric in his final moments, and Albus took on the crystals, combining the crystals with a spell into the White Crystal. They remained in Albus' possession until 2037, when they were given to Iris and Eric's children, Sailia, Soraya, Surya, Taura, Cordelia, and Seraphina Anuenue.

However, due to the negative reputation of the purple crystal, Albus was hesitant to teach Seraphina of her abilities. With this, Seraphina stole The Guide from Albus and began to learn on her own. Seraphina's reputation among her sisters continued to decline, and eventually, Seraphina took their crystals from them, reforming the white crystal and using it herself. However, upon realizing what she was doing, Seraphina gave up the white crystal to her sisters, including he purple crystal. It was only returned to her when Abaddon returned. Whilst Abaddon was trying to take the crystals from the sisters, a boy by the name of Loki Forrest managed to disable the blue crystal temporarily with the use of a spell. The power was eventually returned with a second spell. Abaddon eventually managed to take the crystals from the sisters, but was unable to create the white crystal without the spell, and the sisters managed to get the crystals back. With Abaddon's defeat, his accomplice, Kyle Apmetnis, made it a personal goal to get the white crystal himself. After many failed attempts, his sister, Celene Apmetnis, scolded him about his lack of thought. Kyle took this to heart, and stopped caring about the crystals, instead wanted revenge. However, in the end, the sisters came out on top, the crystals unscathed.

The sisters continued wielding the crystals consistently up until 2057, when Abaddon broke out of prison. In order to protect the crystals, the sisters temporarily gifted the crystals to their children, Phoenix Rose, Alan Apmetnis, Willow Forrest, and Jamie, Summer, and Autumn Smith. After Abaddon was defeated, the crystals were returned to the sisters.
