Overview

Introduction

That day, he came. Abaddon.

Into the Chamber of Time he crept, unnoticed and purposeful. It was a simple mission he was on: destroy Time. For it is only when Time ceased that his master Erebus could arise once more. He stole Time, that demon, and with all his might shattered it. Time crumbled in his hands, and taking up the many Fragments, scattered them far. And as the Fragments flew, so too did the order of Time. Everywhere, clocks ground to a halt and the sky warped and swirled. And gradually, everything stopped. Nothing moved. For Time had been destroyed, and without anyone to govern it, the flow of time dried.

But before Abaddon could cast away the last Fragment, intervention arrived in the form of Janus, a deity close in power to Time itself. In a panic Abaddon fled, leaving behind the very last Fragment on the Chamber floor. Though he mourned the loss of Time, Janus knew that it was now, when Time had ceased, that time was of the utmost importance. With a boost of his own power, he restored that Time Fragment to the world: the Midnight Fragment. Life began to flow once more, but not in its usual manner. For as there was only midnight, all life was now bound to that time. Janus assured himself that it was better than having time frozen.

However, he did not have the other Fragments. With the responsibility of protecting this Fragment lest Abaddon return to scatter it, Janus knew that he could not seek out the Fragments, and knew that if he were to rely on humans, he would have to empower them, and band them together. For a singular human could not hope to accomplish the feat alone. And so, reaching out to the earth, he sought out eight humans with strong potential. To each he touched their minds, presenting them with memories of what had transpired in the Chamber of Time, of the task that faced them. And with these memories, he drew from their wells of potential the ability to wield an element, an element close to their soul, that they might protect themselves from the dark forces that were certain to hinder their every step.

Gathering the eight together, Janus sends them to the doorstep of Trismegistus, one of his devoted friends and an alchemical inventor. To Trismegistus, Janus too grants memories of the events that transpired and the task the eight gifted humans face. His role is simple: aid them in any way he can. Understanding the graveness of the situation, the inventor prepares his home to receive eight strangers who hold the fate of the world in their hands.
