When Aileana poured out her last being into the darkness, she created lights called stars. Shoka gathered them together and created hardness with the light of her sister out of love. She called it the moon, and formed it together so it was perfectly round and followed the earth and Sun around. While gathering the remnants of her sister and bringing them together her gown became filled with the shimmering dust of light. After finishing her work she dusted off herself and the light fell onto the earth. When humans and mer-people came into place they eventually stumbled upon such a treasure and the mer-people crafted great things out of the dust. They locked some of their craft away for they were greedy beings, while the others were put to use. The humans were filled with sorrow when such magnificent things were being held from their use and decided to craft something themselves. The created a diamond with the dust and it held great power. Yet, after so long they realized the power faded because that was the life of the goddess Aileana. Anything apart of the goddesses would fade for their life died out. It was then realized that the power of the royal family could complete the everlasting power of a diamond and so when the first king came to pass they burned his dead body and poured his ashes into a new diamond made from Aileana’s dust.

Soon both members of the human and mer race made thousands of diamonds, but locked certain ones away that held more power then others. This is when the darkness was awakening.

A lonely traveler who was greedy by nature stumbled upon an abandoned monument in the wilderness. A shimmer of light caught his eye in the ground and he immediately started to dig. As he dug to retrieve it he realized it was deeper then it appeared. Eventually it led him to the core of the earth and he found a dark labyrinth. He was led by the darkest of fauns to the center of the labyrinth where he met the darkness form the beginning of time. The darkness ate his spirit and took his body to make his own, and he had the faun carry him to the light. The faun could not follow his master for it cringed at the very thought of light so with sorrow he watched his master leave. The earth was covered back over, and the labyrinth disappeared.
Around this time there was said to be thieves stealing the diamonds and its power. Thankfully these diamonds held no royal ashes and died out quickly, so immediately the secret of the diamond ashes spread around. Secret orders were formed and the diamonds where brought into labyrinths where they would remain protected forever. Deep magic held a protection over them and they were sealed.

Arisa knew that there were still fake diamonds made, but they held little significance. They were mainly used for jewellery now a day which is what she held in the hilt of her sword. The stone being brought to the wall and showed more dust, and with the sent of her royal blood, a path was lit. Arisa followed the path, keeping her sword close to the rock and her bag close to her body. She walked for five minutes until she came to the end of her lit path. A cluster of dust gathered in a large circle and went no where! “Open!” She said in a commanding voice, and the rock started to break apart at seems unseen. She knew it seemed too simple, she assumed it had to do with royal blood. A door was created and the roof from inside the path was filled with dust, glowing brightly! Without thinking, Arisa walked in, knowing not of what followed her. She walked down winding steps leading deeper into the earth, and then an opening could be seen and a bit of air could felt upon her fair face. She walked into a giant room with sparkling crystal covering the walls and ceiling of the labyrinth tunnel and in the center laid a tall watering pond with a crystal floating on top. It shimmered and sparkled and little remnants of dust gloated around it. What looked to be tiny fairies- played tag of war with each other around the thing; Arisa knew without a doubt they were a magic protecting the crystal. It was like from her book, and it sparkled regardless of her sword or blood. It was definitely a royal crystal! She went to touch it and nothing bad happened, the guarding magic was ineffective to her.

“Strange… strange, strange! Never before has the magic failed, never, never!”

Arisa turned around on her heal her sword at the ready. There before her was a beautiful but terrifying faun looking at her. “What do you speak of faun!?” She demanded.

“What magic? Answer me faun!” Arisa was very forceful in her questioning. She could not show fear, for fauns were known to be filled with dark magic and trickery. She had no way to know if this faun had bad intentions, so she kept her guard up! The faun began to speak of a great magic that protected the crystals from any creatures touch. They had magic protecting them from the evil one. “The evil one, who tore kingdoms long ago, who caused the evil of most creatures in the world? He has not been seen, not in a century! And what does it matter if my touch stirs no magic?!”
