Chapter One
Welcome to the end of the world. In this plane, you will feel pains beyond your wildest imaginations, and wish you were already dead. If you manage to survive here, you will need to strengthen not only your body, but your mind and soul as well. Once this is achieved, then the real battles begin… This is the Underworld of Edinea. Several people have been to this place and never returned, and for those that have, it would probably be better if they never did. This place of supreme darkness is the home of many creatures that live in only your nightmares, and any mere mortal would die at the sheer sight of them alive. Trouble has come to Earth, for now more and more of these Creatures of the Night are escaping, and seeking revenge on the humankind that locked them there millennia ago. If they aren’t stopped, the world as we know it now may cease to exist. But all is not lost; for there is always light where darkness presides. There is a place higher than Heaven is now beginning to send their Angels as such to stop these threats on the humankind. The realm of Second Heaven is now opening, and sending the Seraphs of Elements to rid the menace that the Underworld is releasing. Among these Seraphs are higher-ranking immortal beings, the three Hero Seraphs. Power, Intelligence and Speed. Being more powerful than their counterparts of Second Heaven, they have incredible strength in their chosen field.
Leon, the Hero of Power, stands a mighty 7’ tall, and is incredibly built in his torso and arms. He has long black hair running down to the mid of his back, with sparkling red eyes. He wears a dark red silk shirt with black runes of Power running down the left side. He pants are simple black jeans, with a crimson tinge throughout the stitching. His six wings have a vary of colours, the top two being red, the middle being a dark crimson and the last being black.
Ranger, the Hero of Intelligence, reaches a height of just 5’5. She seems to have an average build, but doesn’t rely on her physical physique to attack her opponents. She has brilliant gold hair that stops just under her shoulders, and has a slight curve upwards at the end. Her eyes are a goldish colour, and tend to have a tint of wisdom in them at all times. She wears a long sleeved yellow shirt with black runes of Intelligence running down the middle, with a white silky vest over top. Her pants run down just past her knees and are a white colour, with a gold shine on them in a certain light. Her wings are tricoloured, the top being white, the middle shining a brilliant yellow, and the last a glimmering dark gold.
Jet, the Hero of Speed, stands at an average 6’1 tall, and has an athletic build to help keep his reflexes in top shape. He has sapphire hair that reaches a length of about one and a half inches, and spikes back on a 45-degree angle. His eyes are a dark blue colour, and always have a hint of cheekiness in them. He wears a deep blue muscle shirt with black ruins of Speed running down the right side. His pants are tight on his legs, and are a deep navy colour, running just to his ankles. His wings have three closely related colours, the top sky blue, the middle pure azure, and the bottom dark sapphire.
These three heroes have been friends since they ever met each other, alive and as Seraphs. Gaining Hero status wasn’t as easy as it sounds. They had to be a normal Seraph at first, getting all the hard and unusual jobs. Then, after a few centuries of loyalty, they became Seraphs of Elements. Although not having one of the predefined elements, they worked to their full potential with their new powers, protecting the world from lesser evils.
Then, one day, Leon, Ranger and Jet were on a routine adventure, when they found something within a temple… Three stones, glowing the colours of the ancients. As they walked up to three stones, a deep voice spoke out. “Be warn young Seraphs, with these three stones comes a great amount of responsibility. If you decide to take these, you will be left with this choice for the rest of your immortal life.” As suddenly as the voice had start, it disappeared…
The three looked at each other, question locked within their eyes. Finally, Leon opened his mouth. “Well, what should we do? I think we have found the Three Hero Stones, but if we take them, what will happen do us?” Once again, a silence of epic proportions emerged. Ranger and Jet were silent, looking at Leon, thinking over his question, and many more racing through their minds.
Eventually Ranger spoke up, her wisdom usually making most situations work out. “I think that we should take them. If we have found the Three Hero Stones, we can handle the responsibility. We have always been together, and we always will be. If we don’t, we could be missing out on the greatest opportunity in our immortal lives.” She finished a bit quiet, being reminded of the day they were all killed. Vivid flashbacks entered her mind, and she shuddered a little.
Jet, being the only one not to talk yet, began to step forward. He was ready for this. They had been Seraphs of Elements for so long, and he was ready to go to the next level. Even though he never took anything too seriously, he had the straightest face Ranger and Leon had ever seen. He took another step towards the Blue Stone, and then looked back at his friends. “We have to do this. This is what we have been waiting for since we heard about them. Don’t tell me any different, because I can see it in your eyes…” He put out his right hand, and stopped, waiting for the support of the other two.
Leon and Ranger knew that Jet was right… for once. They took their steps towards the Stones; Leon heading towards the Red Stone and Ranger the Yellow Stone. Jet smirked a little as his two friends finally came to their senses and followed suit. Leon outstretched his left hand, while Ranger put both out, the Stone looking a little big for her strength. As they got closer, they could see ancient runes engraved into the stone in front of them. Jet smiled widely and whispered, “This has to be them. They have the engravings of Heroism.” Finally, they all looked at each other, and nodded, and took the final step, touching the stones…
A white light, and a great shudder could be felt for miles around them. Each of them could feel changes happening to them. Leon, the unofficial leader, felt his body strengthen, and he grew taller to compensate for the extra muscle. Ranger’s body didn’t change all that much, but she could see everything and anything she wanted to, feeling her intellect grow by each passing second. Jet felt his muscles tighten, and his body sleek out, making him the perfect speed machine. After what seemed like an eternity, the light slowly faded, and they were revealed to each other. The colour of the stone had adapted into their body and clothing style. They were the new Heroes of Second Heaven.
