Mystic Knight

> *"A long time ago, the Mystic Knights were revered, beloved, and adored as one of the major forces preserving peace throughout human history. It is a relatively recent phenomenon that their absence has occurred. Thus, they had to fight the most deadly mythological creatures, demons, and rogue deities that rebelled against Zeus in order to defend the realm."* **- Elric Gustavson, Mystic bodyguard for Zeus.**

**Mystic Knights** are Mystics who are members of the military force which is used by the Mystic Society as well as the primary guardians for the world. There are different levels of knighthood within the Mystic Society, each representing a large part of the knights' work as well as their power, strength, and abilities.

## Creation

Alfonso Trebech, a man of mixed race in the 8th century, was the man whose foundation was used for the creation of the Society and its Knights that defend it. It was Alfonso's belief that segregation was the correct policy to follow after much of the world had suffered from consistent involvement and battles affecting nearby areas, such as villages, towns, and areas containing a large amount of animals, thus severely affecting the environment and forcing people living in the surrounding area into turmoil as a result, causing them to suffer from the consequences. It has been noted that the idea of a proxy force for Zeus living alongside humans, and even coexisting with them, impacted the species of humans from being able to proceed with their development in the normal way. The moment that he realized Zeus' concern was going to come back in full force eventually, he realized the Mystics, who were almost considered to be demi-gods or even gods in many small communities of humans during the early days, would be forced for the sake of their purpose to retreat to an area where they could not negatively impact the humans and all life, but still be able to respond to threats and problems when they arose. From there was the beginning of the Mystic Society, from the idea of duty and honor to its purpose of bringing benefit to both parties involved, thereby creating a concept that would flourish into a much grander concept than he could have ever imagined.

Those assisting humanity and all life, who were originally created for this purpose, would all be ranked according to their skill, knowledge, power, capability, and survivability on multiple fronts, both isolated from allies and with allies, as well as their physical abilities like eyesight, height, weight relative to height, etc. Within the Mystic Knight order, there are a variety of individuals who serve as knights. They are sometimes referred to as M-Knights or MKs.

Time flows differently in the Society because it exists on a totally different plane than Earth. As a result, many elements of the order, as well as the Society, have grown over time more than any human city or nation has ever done per capita. However, the time dilation is not nearly as severe as one would think, and it has paved the way for others to live for two hundred years longer because of the way time flows in the Society's pocket dimension. It is true that no Mystic lives physically this long, but when they return to Earth, time has passed by without any regard to anyone's wishes, and the journey has gone on no matter what.
