“You know before things got out of hand I never existed though could you truly say I even exist now? Welcome to a Realm very unlike the world you know where magic does not exist except on a stage done by magicians and the occasional street act. If you are confused by this beginning then just keep reading if you wish or leave, either way you are not going to be stopped by an entity that may or may not truly exist.373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnKDaiC5mn

“This Realm where I am and stories unfold is known as Aphelia, a world similar to yours but where magic still flows and exists for use by any able to harness and focus the wild energy. Perhaps you would like a small explanation? Well, to begin my creator as well as the one who created Aphelia and even your world is known here as simply The Great One. There is no gender or identity placed upon The Great One only the title.373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfEpQFDU4w

“Magic was left intact here as an idea it could help ensure peace and tranquility for the first Realm created and the new Realm created. Needless to say with this magic ever flowing there are several up to many creatures not found in the normal Realm. Just to get it out there magic is a force created by four main Elements I am sure anyone knows but for those not in the loop here are the four main Elements: Fire, Earth, Water, and Air.373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lYrtz4fIz

“Now that is simple yes? The real trick is when you break down the uses and abilities of each on their own and when combined. Humans are suckers for power as is demonstrated so many times in the normal Realms history. Sadly, though, it was never planned for the corruption from there to affect here.373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZko3sEKQmu

“You see the corruption that drove The Great One to create Aphelia was thought to stay where it began and seemed to have hold of most living there but somehow found its way into Aphelia and thus a balancing act has ensured to stay in place for Aphelia to deal with its own darkness and aid in balancing the normal Realm with its own darkness. But, why do I keep yammering for? How about we begin to unfold some details for you if you stayed around?”373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGMYV96h5J

The young woman finished holding out a hand elegantly through the air to rest palm up with fingers long and nimble, flesh smooth and soft with no flaws to be seen. Her arm extended from her angled relaxing body upon a seat among the branches of a large tree housing orange colored leaves and soft white orbs of light. The orbs gave light but also gave shadow, allowing for the woman’s blue and green colored eyes to shine like they held firelight behind them to bring forth their illumination. Strains of copper mixed with violet weaved down to her waist, staying still with some ends hidden gave her hair the feeling of a never ending river.373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzJmSrwnAg

Her clothing was nothing simple showing in the soft glow of the tree just a simple kimono like robe coming near her hidden ankles. Boots of brown leather for some might say clashed with the white, red, and blue of the kimono like dress but she preferred her brown boots compared to something fitting more tradition with her outfit crafted from the energies around her. Closing her eyes of two different colors her pale red lips parted inhaling the air around her, closing, and then parted once more to slowly release the air like a calming breath while she gained her focus.373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TAo9Z7CdS

Soon four orbs of white floated down and began to circle around her wrist almost like a large bracelet before one then two began to float in a circle above her palm with the other two following shortly after. As the four went around in a circle above her palm they grew closer together and soon began to slowly merge into the other, seeping together like melting ice cream flavors on a warm day. The different colors hidden behind the soft glow began to show, revealing soft blues, greens, yellows, and browns came and faded into one becoming white once more as a single floating orb.373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX2fzoAcga

After the orb had formed soft gray blue began to come off from around it almost like flames in a smoky wispy aura. Inside the white hue came to sight a slowly forming landscape of green, human forms walking around as well began to take shape with buildings made of wood and other materials found around them. More detail came to the image inside the orb and as this took place the white hue began to glow slowly brighter above her hand, eyes closed in her relaxed position as if this was nothing to her do. Inside the orb events past began to play out like a movie on a screen following events gained to her by the orbs filling the tree.373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa7NxFIP9T
