Prologue

Earth was created, due to the evilness found there, God decided to create a new world, similar to the earth. However its inhabitants were given supernatural magic powers. Everyone there lived in harmony. The races of this new world got along in peacefully in equality.

The Dwarves, were the mine workers and the managers of this world’s resources and riches. Their powers, extended as far as levitation, magical excavation and axe handling.

The Malgien, were one the most powerful and wisest of all the inhabitants of Fantasia; protectors of the forest, the wizards and the magic world. They were forbidden to intervene in wizard’s affairs, and were rarely seen by one of them.

The Tritons and the Mermaids, inhabitants of the magical water world. Its supreme being Triton, king of Sirenia, had the ability to control rivers, lakes and seas at will. He was the Lord of the Oceans.

The Morphins, small talkative animals were created to serve wizards joyfully. They were capable of performing any activity and never complained about it.

The Gnomes, were little beings between eight and sixteen inches tall. They were the workers of the land and handlers of the magical cattle.

The Fairies, as the Malgien, were protectors of the wizards. Each fairy was given a wizard to protect.

The small fairies had largely insignificant magical powers; they were the underground inhabitants of the giant mushrooms and danced by the light of the moon.

The Elves, were clever beings; possessors of the ability to make objects vanish temporarily; mischief-makers dedicated to annoying the wizards.

And finally, Wizards, those gifted with the grace of Magic.


Just as in earth, the tinniest evil spark ignited wickedness. The most powerful demon of the seven hells, Satan, gave extraordinary powers to seven wizards in exchange for their souls.

He gifted Poseidon with the control of waters, giving him powers which surpassed those of Triton’s, the Lord of the Oceans. Aeolo, Master of the Draughts, was given the power to control the air.. Chronus was offered the ability to control the time at will. Hades, ruled over the dead. He gambled with death as if it were merely a game. Tearth was made landlord of the grounds, he had power over the grounds and soils. And finally Athena better known as Atenea, the only woman who decided to sell her soul to the devil. Unlike the others she didn’t ask for power, she asked for a gift. The most outstanding gift of all: Wisdom.

Never again would a soul be the same after being possessed by the devil. With the pact of these seven wizards, The Dark Era in the magic world began. And death came by evil and by good. The Seven Evils started gathering followers, raising witches, and sorcerers; feeling like gods.

Half of most of the magic world was destroyed. They controlled everything. If someone dared to face them, Hades would have cut the string of their lives and they would die.
But, she rebelled, Atenea. She was unable to beat them. Her mistake was not having asked for magical powers such as the others.. Even though they fought as hard as they could; immortal as she was, she could not be killed. So. she was locked up on Daed Island, where she was guarded by Hades until the end.

They reached their glory, but it came hand in hand with their doom. Three powerful Malgien sacrificed their lives in a powerful spell called “The Sleeping Death”. Five of the Seven Evils were trapped in their temple forever. The temple was sealed with a magical charm that only one single wand could break. The wand was hidden, to be found later.
Hades and Atenea perished on the island. Hades was locked in a crypt, “The Crypt of Death”. The devil collected their souls and took them to hell, where they now belonged.

Without the seven evils, the Magic World turned back to its normal state. Still the seed of evil had been planted. And it grew slowly but strongly. Waiting to be sowed.

Little by little everything was rebuilt. New cities were formed: Blissphilum, “the indestructible city”. It was also known as the perfect city. Built and designed by the best architects of the Magic world. Its secrets await now to be discovered. The second, White City the former capital of the magical world; nowadays lying in ruins. Also two new cultures appeared. The Niwans, wise and powerful, seers of the future and The Masters and Mistresses, wise protectors of nature, but less powerful than the Niwans.




Time passed and the Magic World returned to the way it used to be before evilness spread throughout it. The tragedy once experienced was forgotten. It was recorded as history, and from history it passed to story, from story to legend, until it remained a simple mythology; “The Magical Mythology”

Hundreds of years passed until the evil fruit was sown, grew and ripened...
