Aura Wars

In the ancient times, when the nine Celestial Auras and the eight auras of Hell were still separated by the mighty Rift, the gods and goddesses of each realm cared not for the affairs of the other. Yet, as the wheel of time turned, a growing sense of enmity between these two opposing forces began to fester.

The demons of the netherworld, coveting the power and influence of the celestial beings over the mortals of the Prime Aura, became envious, while the gods and goddesses of the Celestial Auras saw the demonic creatures as an abomination, an affront to the very balance of the cosmos.

Thus, in this volatile atmosphere of mounting tension, the first sparks of conflict were kindled. Among the pantheon of celestial beings, there was one whose righteous fury was a constant thorn in the side of the demons. Justacia, the goddess of law and justice, was renowned as one of the most powerful deities in the celestial planes. Her unwavering presence was felt throughout the Prime Aura, and her indomitable influence ensured that justice was served to all, be they highborn or low.

But even the mightiest of gods are not invincible, and it was not long before the King of Hell, Angrathrax, spied an opportunity to strike a decisive blow against the celestial forces. He knew that if he could capture Justacia, he would be able to harness her power to tip the scales of the war in his favour.

And so, the cunning demon king hatched a scheme. Disguised as a poor and hapless peasant, he made his way to the Prime Aura. Approaching the unsuspecting goddess with a heart-rending tale of oppression and injustice, the king played on Justacia's innate compassion and won her trust.

However, in the moment of her greatest vulnerability, Angrathrax revealed his true form and attacked Justacia with the Dagger of Woe, a powerful artifact forged by his own hand. The wound inflicted by the cursed blade left the goddess weakened and exposed, and the balance of power in the cosmos was forever changed.

The foul Angrathrax, in all his dark and treacherous cunning, descended upon the weakened Justacia like a shadowy vulture descending upon its prey. With ruthless efficiency, he captured her and bore her away to the accursed depths of the auras of Hell. In his malice, he crafted a cage of enchanted iron, a prison of such infernal design that it would hold even the most powerful celestial beings in thrall.

Justacia, bound and ensnared, could not escape the vile clutches of her captor. She was powerless to resist as Angrathrax, with cruel and calculated precision, used the Blade of Woe to bind her spirit to his own. With every passing moment, the King of Hell grew stronger, drawing upon the dark energies of Justacia's essence to fuel his twisted ambitions.

And so it was that the mighty Rift, once a gateway between the realms of heaven and hell, was corrupted and drawn deep into the infernal abyss. Angrathrax, in his boundless malice, claimed it for his own, transforming it into the ninth layer of hell - a desolate wasteland of death and decay that he named the Necrotic Rift.

The Palace of Woe, a place of unspeakable horror and suffering, was erected within the heart of this twisted realm. There, the Blade of Woe remained locked away, a cruel reminder of Angrathrax's unfathomable power. Justacia, her spirit irrevocably bound to the King of Hell, was imprisoned within its walls, forced to serve as his puppet in his vile quest for dominion over the Auraverse.

Yet even as Angrathrax revelled in his newfound strength, the celestial gods and goddesses were not idle. They were incensed by the capture of Justacia, and the disappearance of the Rift did not go unnoticed. Swiftly, they marshalled their armies, preparing for a titanic struggle that would determine the fate of the Auraverse itself.

On the Celestial Aura of The Shield, the two factions clashed with all the fury of the heavens. Lightning rent the skies and the ground shook beneath their feet as they battled for dominance. The outcome of this cosmic struggle remained uncertain, but one thing was clear - the fate of the Auraverse hung in the balance, and the ultimate victor would be determined by the strength of their will and the ferocity of their armies.

On the side of the infernal realm, Angrathrax, the King of Hell, ruled with an iron fist, his insatiable hunger for power driving him to expand his empire beyond the borders of his dark domain. His towering figure radiated an spirit of immense power, his body blackened and rotting, and his eyes glowing with an otherworldly fire. Accompanying him were his legions of demons and devils, twisted creatures of cruel intent, who sought nothing but the eradication of all that was good and pure. At his side stood his brother, Arzuza, the demon lord of murder and slaughter, with wings that stretched out like those of a giant bat and razor-sharp talons like that of a vulture.

Aertha, the goddess of protection and honourable combat, led the celestial host in the absence of her elder sister, Justacia, who had been abducted. Aertha was a valiant goddess, tall and fierce, with long flowing white hair and clad in white and gold armour. She wielded a mighty ivory kite shield in one hand and a curved pearlescent greatsword in the other, leading her fellow gods and goddesses into battle against the infernal horde. The war was devastating, and its impact was felt across all the planes.

With Justacia gone, the Prime Aura was left without a ruler, and chaos ensued. Disease, famine, and war ravaged the land, and the people cried out for a saviour. In response to their pleas, Mayri, the goddess of healing and kindness, emerged as the steward of the Prime Aura. Using her divine powers, she tended to the sick and fed the hungry, travelling the land to comfort those who had lost loved ones in the conflict and to bring hope to the beleaguered people.

Amidst the fray of the Celestial Auras and the auras of Hell, a fierce and unrelenting war continued to rage on. Despite her unwavering efforts, victory remained elusive for the defenders of the heavenly realm. The clashing of swords and screams of battle echoed throughout the skies, shrouding them in a dark and foreboding veil. The scent of smoke and death lingered in the air, filling even the bravest of hearts with fear and dread.

For eons, the gods and goddesses of the Celestial Auras had stood steadfast against the demon lords and ladies of Hell. But now, the tides of war had turned against them, and the demons had unleashed their most fearsome and terrifying armies upon the heavenly realm. The celestial beings fought valiantly, but they were no match for the unyielding and unrelenting fury of the demon horde.

Mnemnos, the god of wisdom and knowledge, and Lirien, goddess of strategy, had always been the voice of reason in times of crisis. But even their divine insights and foresight were no match for the overwhelming power of the demon king. Meanwhile, the great warrior goddess Aertha, whose prowess in battle was unmatched by any other, fought tirelessly against the demon onslaught. Yet, her once gleaming armour was now dented and scarred, and her sword arm grew heavy as she faced the seemingly endless hordes of demons.

The war between the Celestial Auras and the auras of Hell had become a struggle for survival, and it seemed that the defenders of the heavenly realm were doomed to fall before the might of the demon horde.

But lo, the gods of the Celestial Auras were not alone in their noble quest. Nay, the primal forces of the Elemental Auras foresaw the twisted corruption that might ensue from the ascendancy of the demon lords, and thus did they pledge their aid to the host of the heavens. Led by the formidable Aeholu, god of air, the armies of the Elemental Auras descended upon the demon horde with the fury of a raging tempest, unleashing merciless storms and bolts of lightning upon their foes. Incindril, god of fire, engulfed the demonic legions in his scorching flames, while Neryss, goddess of water, summoned forth mighty tidal waves to engulf and drown the enemy hordes.

Yet the demons of the netherworld were not so easily vanquished. Their armies were bolstered by potent demonic lords and ladies, who were masters of dark magic and treacherous tactics. But Gleïs, goddess of earth, life, and nature, called upon the druids and herbalists of the celestial planes to counter the fell sorceries of the demons. With their mastery of the secrets of the natural world, they summoned forth hosts of plants and beasts to fight alongside the celestial forces.

As the war raged on, the demons of Hell unleashed ever more powerful spells and summoned ever more terrifying creatures to fight for their cause. And Justacia, imprisoned and seething with righteous fury, bided her time, awaiting her chance to break free and rejoin the fray.

The war between the Celestial Auras and the Hell Auras had raged on for a long time, staining the Heavens and the Hells alike with blood and destruction. The gods and goddesses, once revered and adored, now fought with ferocity, their divine powers harnessed for war. The battles were brutal, the losses catastrophic, and hope seemed to be dwindling with every passing day.

Yet amidst the chaos and the carnage, a glimmer of hope emerged. Mayri, goddess of healing and kindness, a paragon of compassion and benevolence, had taken up the mantle of steward of the Prime Aura in the absence of Justacia. She knew that the war could not continue like this, that something drastic had to be done to turn the tide of the battle.

And so, she called upon the remaining gods and goddesses, beseeching them to meet with her in the heart of the Auraverse, where once Gleïs, the goddess of earth, life, and nature, had held court. There, surrounded by the beauty of the natural world, they hatched a desperate plan.

The goddess of healing and kindness would channel all her powers to create a spell of healing and mending, a potent enchantment that would restore the strength and vigour of the wounded gods and goddesses. But to do so, she would have to leave the Prime Aura unprotected, a risky gambit that could backfire disastrously.

With heavy hearts and no other choices left, the goddess Mayri soared into the skies and unleashed her spell upon the celestial forces. A wave of pure energy surged through the ranks of the gods, revitalizing them and restoring their weapons and armour to their former glory. For a moment, it seemed that victory was within reach, that the long and bitter war would finally come to an end.

But fate had other plans. The demons, sensing the vulnerability of the Prime Aura, launched a final, devastating assault. With overwhelming force, they tore through the boundaries that separated the realms, unleashing Hell upon the world of mortals and gods alike. The host of Hell had come, and the fate of the Prime Aura hung in the balance.

However, Mayri knew full well that confronting the demon lords and ladies alone was a futile endeavour, for their power was vast and their wrath was fierce. But abandoning the Prime Aura to their malevolence was not an option. Nay, such a gambit would be tantamount to suicide.

Thus, before embarking on her perilous quest, Mayri had reached out to the mortals of the Prime Aura. She sought out those who possessed a gentle heart and a healing touch, and imbued them with a portion of her own divine power. She taught them how to harness this energy to ease the suffering of the wounded and the sick, and to kindle a flame of compassion within their fellow mortals.

Under Mayri's tutelage, the mortals banded together, setting aside their differences and working as one to aid each other in times of need. And with every act of kindness and generosity, they sent ripples of positive energy coursing through the land, uplifting the spirits of all who dwelt therein.

The demon lords and ladies were not blind to these developments, nor were they content to let such a threat go unchallenged. King Angrathrax, in a fit of desperation, rallied his demonic hordes and marched upon the heart of the Prime Aura, intent on crushing Mayri and her mortal allies once and for all.

But the goddess was not alone. She called upon the aid of the celestial and elemental deities, and together with her mortal champions, using their combined might they unleashed a titanic surge of positive energy that rent the very fabric of reality. The demon horde was obliterated, and King Angrathrax, and his demon lords and ladies, were forced to retreat to his infernal domain.

Thus, through the combined might of gods and mortals, the Prime Aura was saved from the clutches of darkness. The demon hordes were banished, and a new era of peace and prosperity dawned upon the land.

But amidst the triumph and the rejoicing, one goddess remained in captivity, her power diminished by her imprisonment. Justacia watched from her infernal prison as Mayri tended to the Prime Aura, and a glimmer of hope kindled in her heart. She knew that her fellow goddess would stop at nothing to protect the innocent and bring an end to the war. And in that hope, she found the strength to endure.

The war had ravaged the lands and those who fought on both sides were forever marked by its brutal toll. The wounds of the conflict would linger for countless generations to come, a reminder of the cost of war. Yet, for the gods and goddesses who watched from their celestial thrones, the outcome was a bittersweet triumph. It was a testament to the unyielding spirit of righteousness and justice that they held dear. Their victory was a promise that one day, Justacia would be free from the shackles of tyranny and oppression.
