We all stare in horror as the third sun begins to fall from our colorful sky. All of Salandria stops in utter silence until it disappears completely from our sights. Our suns never rest like some other world's suns in the universe. We have always only seen light on Salandria. We have never seen darkness, not since the first great war many hundreds of generations ago. Chaos breaks lose. Shadows are suddenly allowed into our world to creep upon us. For the daughter sun, along with our other two suns, had protected us from them since the beginning of time, but now she has abandoned us. Light crashes with the dark as the Kendrion begin to climb from the dark pit. The second great war of Salandria has now begun.
I change into the form of the moonwalker, a mix similar to a wolf of Earth and a dragon creature of a world named Tiwashion, and fight with all of my might. It is not enough though, for all our fears of every pure creature that resides in Salandria become reality as the first Kendrion reaches the pool of mirrors.
The pool of mirrors is similar to a teleportation device. It is a large lake of Killiom, a substance that will allow you to see anything, anywhere, at this current time in the universe and take you to that place. If the Kendrion manage to go into the pool, they will be able to disappear anywhere that they wish and corrupt all that they touch.
The three great temples that reach high into the sky like mountains and surround the pool of mirrors begin to come alive. Each temple holds a sphere at its point. Each sphere contains the harvested energy of trillions of stars and when one wishes to go into the lake of mirrors it must ask permission from the stars itself.
No of us expects a Kendrion, one who is filled with only evil and darkness, can ever make it through the pool of mirrors. The suns that protect us from the darkness will never allow such a thing. Our suns, who we worship and serve, who only bring us light, will never allow darkness to creep into other worlds, cursing them forever.
But our daughter sun has abandoned us, allowing for the Kendrion to taint our world with that darkness.
As the temples come to life, we fully and completely believe in our two remaining Suns to keep them from entering the pool or mirrors.
We were wrong to believe. The spheres come to life and a bright light illuminates off each one of them, making a beam come down on the lake of mirrors, blinding all that is around. One by one the Kendrion are surrounded by the silver sticky liquid and taken under, to the other worlds that each wishes to go to.
Our suns have failed us.
Days after the defeat, we all are still in shock. The same question swarms our minds.
What have we done to make them punish us so?
The thrones are cut off from any connection with the Suns. Our thrones, the ones who guide us and rule over us, are just as confused and scared as anyone else. Only a few Kendrion, who didn't go through the pool of mirrors, are still left on the surface of Salandria. Finally, our thrones swallow their fear and command us to kill every single one left on our land. They command us not to stop until every shadow is abolished.
We all know that this can not be done, not without the daughter sun to stop the everlasting flow of Kendrion climbing up the edge of Salandria from their pit.
We begin to lose more and more of our pure creatures to the dark.
After many weeks of death, we get the first word from our suns. My race, the Thoreans, are picked specifically to enter the pool of mirrors, to hunt across the universe. We are told to spread out and look for one called Sherean, the one who seeks to put out the light forever.
I am one of the first to head out for the hunt, along with a group of six. To my ultimate surprise the Father Sun picks me by name to lead the hunt.
After gathering supplies, my group heads to earth.
