Hey peeps. I know I said I would have something for you last Friday but I was unable to deliver and I apologize for that. So that is why I got some of the story for you to read. A word of caution, it is a small portion of the back story. I am planning on releasing more for you guys to read but I need to clean it up a bit. Let me know what you think.

“The Sword of Elements”
The World of Askelon
Askelon is a world that was created by God in the far reaches of the universe. God created this land similar to Earth, however, the land has 5 regions, each with its own element. The elements of the land are earth, water, wind, fire and shadow. Each element has a corresponding region which helps to maintain the balance of the world.
God and the Five Angels
When God created Askelon he was also occupied with the events on Earth. He created five angels, one for each element, to carry out his will. His only rule was that the angels rule over the land according only to His laws and that all glory and praise would be His.
Before life was breathed into this world, the angels decided to give a specific gift to each region. The inhabitants of the earth region would receive an increased intelligence compared to the other regions. The inhabitants of the fire region would receive increased strength. The inhabitants of the wind region would receive increased agility. The inhabitants of the water region would receive increased courage. The inhabitants of the shadow region would receive increased stealth.
After several hundred years, life began to flourish. Four of the regions (earth, fire, wind and water) contained humans and beastlike creatures called beastmen. However, the shadow region spawned only beastmen and no humans. Both the humans and the beastmen inherited the gifts of the regions which can be seen in their eye color: green eyes for earth, red eyes for fire, blue eyes for water, silver eyes for wind and black eyes for shadow. The five angels decided to bless all inhabitants (humans and beastmen) with another gift called Apoplexy.
As more time passed and all the inhabitants started to establish their regions, the angels decided that they should show themselves to each region. When they did, the humans/beastmen began to worship them. The angels did not speak up to give the glory to God and decided to keep the glory for themselves.
