Happy Monday everyone!!
Hope you all are doing awesome.
(Snapped this one a couple weeks ago)
If you've been following me for the past two posts then you know that I've been updating you on my story progress and have been starting to reveal to you some of the Ancient Lore of Mankind. Remember, the lore is just the bare minimum, and are not the complete stories. I plan on going back to eventually use these pieces of lore to write short stories.
So before we get into the Lore, here is my story update:
I did reach 83 pages last time I posted. However, I made the unfortunate realization that the last five pages really don't add or take away from the story. It actually takes the story in a completely different direction. So I'm gonna have to go back and cut it. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to regain my number of 83 pages and hopefully by the end of the day I'll be soaring above 100 pages.
Alright. Before we get into the lore, I encourage you to read on past the excerpt from what I wrote. Kinda like a stayed tuned thing. Haha. I'll be giving you a movie or TV show recommendation after the excerpt.
So here we go. If you didn't read yesterday's post, check it out here.
With out further ado, here is the lore for today:

The Rise of the Aidis
Several years later, Lumir spoke with Kyyja, seeking to fix Mankind and Kyyja. Kyyja agreed to meet Lumir in the Playing Fields. When Lumir arrived, Kyyja used her powers to confine Lumir. Kyyja then brought Lumir before her Dark Lord, the Dark Entity that had corrupted her. The Ancient Dark Entity began corrupting Lumir’s Pure Light Spirit. Lumir began to feel his Spirit going dark. When only a glimmer of Light was left, Lumir called out the sacred name of the Lord Viius.
The Lord Viius appeared in an instant, making the Dark Entity flee before him. It screeched horribly as it fled the Realm. Kyyja became terrified and fled as well, fearing what Viius would do to her. Viius then freed Lumir, and brought him back to the surface.
Viius explained to Lumir that when the Universe was created, one of the Seven Original Creations (the Kandryls) introduced doubt and fear to the Realms. Viius explained that the Dark Entity was referred to as the Bos Tumma, forsaking his holy name. Viius then said that he gave the choice to all of creation on whether they would follow him or the later, Bos Tumma.
(I haven't really decided if this one is to be Bos Tumma or if it is Lunar)
Viius then told Lumir that he was leaving for the Eternal Realm and would not return, closing the portal to the Eternal Realm to all but three. This was because darkness had come to the world, and though Viius loved his creation, he knew that if beings corrupted by Darkness stood in the presence of a Being made of Pure Light, they would disintegrate when they looked upon his true form.
As Viius prepared to leave, Lumir begged Viius to take the darkness from his soul. Viius warned that magic can neither be created nor destroyed, meaning that the darkness he took from Lumir would have to go somewhere. He also warned that this kind of magic would come at a great price. Lumir wanted to know the details, as he was wise.
Viius told Lumir that Lumir’s soul would be split in two, Bos and Dor; the Dark and the Light. But Lumir would no longer be able to manifest a physical form, and that Lumir would have to place his spirit inside a host of a sentient-humanoid, swearing to bring balance and be the voice of Viius in the Realm.
(Vikus and Magic)
Then Viius warned of another price that came with the deal; that Lumir’s Dark Spirit, named Lunar, would be imprisoned on a newly created moon that never sets. He warned that Lunar would be released every four thousand years to unleash his evil on the Realm, and that if he succeeded in defeating Lumir, the Realm would be covered in three thousand years of Darkness.
This was the price…and Lumir accepted.
Viius pulled the Darkness out of Lumir, creating Lunar. Viius then banished Lunar onto a newly created moon. Viius then increased Lumir’s Pure Light Powers tenfold. Lumir was told about the Vikken State and the passing of his Spirit. Lumir then was told he was to first lead Mankind to unity. Viius then embedded Lumir’s Spirit into a newborn child of a lowly human tribe, near the southern part of the Great Lake.
Abda’s Birth and Calling
The child’s name was Abda, and he was the first Aidis. Abda at a young age had visions, given to him by Viius. He was also trained in hand-to-hand combat, as all members of his tribe were. He was told and taught the stories of old, and became very inquisitive with them, desiring to know more.
At the age of fourteen, Abda began to realize he had the ability to use Vikus, the magical property that connected all living things together and flowed from Viius. However, Abda’s curiosity with his powers made him accidently burn down his entire village, killing many including his Chief. Abda became terrified of the consequences, and before anyone could do anything to him, he fled to the Northwest in self-exile. He learned to live off the land early on. Eventually he ended up in Elvish Lands.
(This is what Abda will eventually become)
The Elves, being a peaceful people and wanting to keep the balance, took Abda to their capital, Shilvé, which was still under construction. The Elves, being deeply connected to Vikus and being very wise, taught Abda how to use his powers. They trained him well and eventually he learned how to use the Vikken State. Abda then had a vision from Viius.
In his vison, Viius told Abda that the time had come to return to the land of Mankind, and unite them, fulfilling the destiny of all Aidis’. Abda was at first fearful. Viius comforted Abda, saying that much has changed in the Land of Man. He explained that eight kingdoms had risen, uniting the various tribes. He also told Abda that no matter where he went or what he faced, that he would go before Abda. So Abda accepted and began his journey back to the Land of Man.

So from this lore we learned a few things. How the dark creature Lunar was created from Lumir, and how Lunar would return every four thousand years. We also learned why the God Viius left the Mortal Realm into his Eternal Realm in order to protect his creation from being obliterated when they looked upon him. We learned a little about Vikus and the magic of the world. Finally we were introduced to the man named Abda, who was the first of the Aidis. My next post will be about Abda and his journey to unite mankind into one Confederation of Kingdoms.

So as promised, here is my Movie recommendation for today:
Don't forget to come back tomorrow and see what will become of Abda, the First Aidis.
