A BYGONE ERA

In the ancient times, there existed four powerful deities known as the Orders of the Universe, each tasked with the divine duty of overseeing and protecting their respective territories. The Water Guardian, Leviathan, commanded the ebb and flow of the oceans and rivers. The Earth Guardian, Verdant, was the steward of the lush forests and majestic mountains. The Space Guardian, Solarius, tended to the boundless expanse of stars and galaxies, while the Sky Guardian, known as Aether, ruled over the ever-changing skies.

Together, these 4 ancient deities ruled over their own nations, using their incredible powers to construct awe-inspiring structures that stood as a testament to their benevolence and might. Their people thrived under their watchful eyes, ushering in an era of unprecedented peace and harmony.

However, their tranquil existence was shattered when the Guardian of Time, in a reckless attempt to alter the course of history, disrupted the natural flow of time. The consequences were catastrophic; everything in its wake was abruptly aged into the present, causing the earth to crumble and nature to reclaim almost every being. The once placid waters rose tumultuously, unleashing destructive waves that claimed the lives of millions. The skies themselves united to block sunlight from ever entering the earth's atmosphere again, while comets rained down, bringing further havoc and chaos.

Witnessing the immeasurable devastation wrought by the meddling of the Guardian of Time, the three most powerful cosmic beings the Order of Balance was filled with a righteous fury. In their anger, they banished the Guardians of Earth, Space, Sky, and Water, sealing their essence into the deepest depths and highest heights of the universe, ensuring that they would never be seen or remembered again.

As for the Guardian of Time itself, its punishment was the most severe of all. It was shattered and scattered across the fabric of time and space, condemned to exist in a fractured state for all eternity, serving as a cautionary warning to any who dared to tamper with the delicate balance of the cosmos.
