Immortal Souls

The Rise

Immortal Souls are deep history in the world of Delta, now known as Earth. Eight Immortal Souls were born at the start of time, varying in color and shade. These Souls chose names based on their color; Cyan as Viridian, Green as Crocodile, Yellow as Honey, Blue as Steel, Orange as Solstice, Purple as Haze, Red as Crimson, and Red-Orange as Vermillion. At the start of time, Vermillion was corrupt. He wanted to destroy the world. Viridian was kind, his exact opposite. Viridian was the one to stop Vermillion, in the end. There was a large battle, and when Viridian landed the killing blow on this supposed Immortal, he exploded. The fractured bits of shattered soul pierced the other seven souls, puncturing a hole in each of them. These holes in the souls made them leak their life force. Slowly, but surely, all seven of them were going to die too. But the creatures of Delta were grateful, and kind. They let the Immortal Souls take hold of their bodies for a few days at a time, plugging the leak with a physical body. This plugging of the leak is actually gave color to the creature's souls. At the start of time, all creatures had pure, white souls. When the Immortal Souls resided within them, they would leak the colors into the creatures' souls. The creatures accepted the color gratefully, and passed color on from parent to child. This is how Human Souls got their color. Eventually, the creatures got tired of having to host the Immortal Souls and it became harder and harder for them to survive. Getting desperate the seven of them had to turn to more forceful measures. They would take over the body of a child, taking over the host body for it's entire life, like a parasite. When the host body dies, the Immortal Soul would move on to the next one. They survived like this for centuries, watching the rise and fall of ancient civilizations, the fall of magic, and it's return. They lived through, and even caused some of the biggest events in history. Most mythology has at least one Immortal Soul in it, whether they know it or not. The Greeks worshipped Crimson as Eris, goddess fo chaos, without even knowing it. The Egyptians had Honey in the form of Bast, a cat themed goddess. Read more about Bast in the Alley Cats page.

The Fall

Unfortunately, not all good things can last forever. A man by the name of Chase caught wind of the Immortal Souls, and became obsessed with them. He wanted to turn himself into one, but couldn't for the longest time. Eventually, he cracked the secret. To become an Immortal Soul, he would have to kill an Imortal Soul. Well, not exactly *kill*. He'd have to make the Immortal Soul a host for his own soul. So he got to tracking down the nearest Imortal Soul, Solstice. After many failed attempts, he finally succeded. Chase attached his own soul to Solstice, and took over the abilities and magic of the Immortal Soul. But Chase was selfish, and he didn't want anyone else gaining this power. So one by one, Chase tracked down and killed five of the six remaining Immortal Souls. When he found the last Immortal Soul, Crimson, he revelaed the truth behind his excapades. He had fallen in love with her, and when he lost her, he wanted that love back. He tracked down the other Immortal Souls and killed them because he was angry. He was looking for her all along, but she had evaded him for centuries on end. When she found out what he had done to the other Immortal Souls, she ended up killing him. Crimson now stands as the last living Immortal Soul, having made the decision that this would be her last lifetime. Crimson, now using the name Kaitlyn, would not be finding a new host once she dies. She would let the leak slowly kill her off so that she could finally join all her friends in the stars.
