Story 92 Legend of the Blade Masters Told By Bishop
~~~~~~ Before the time of drow and elves, there existed a race known as ~~~~~ ~~~~~~ Irid who ruled the land. These Irid were lead by 8 great masters ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ of the sun who defended the land with their wisdom and skill in ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ the blades. They defeated demon after demon until one day, a ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ mighty titan did lay waste to the land and the armies of the Irid. ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The great masters were called forth into battle against the titan, ~~~~~ ~~~~~~ but they knew there was no hope. So they raised their scimitars ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ in the air and plunged them deep into their own hearts, praying ~~~~~~ ~~~~~ to their goddess to take their lives and destroy the titan. Their ~~~~~ ~~~~ goddess responded and the titan was forever banished to the heavens, ~~~~ ~~~ never to bother the realms again. The Irid master's souls were locked ~~~ ~~~~ away in tiny acorns, forever imprisoned in agony. The acorns emitted ~~~ ~~~~~ great power that could be sensed by strange lizards, precursors of ~~~~~ ~~~~~ the dragons. These lizards hid the acorns away, to hide them from ~~~~~ ~~~~~ weak mortals unleashing the power of the blade lords. Where these ~~~~~ ~~~~~ acorns are now is anyone's guess... they could be destroyed, lost, ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ or ineffective by now... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ______________________________________________________________________________ Mission Control Mission Control
