Allow me:
In the city of Hope, there are portals to an alternate dimension, to the city of Fear. In the city of Fear are dimensional opposites of each person in Hope. Fear was ruled by three Lords of Fear, who controlled almost everything:
Aissyle, leader of Fault, master of deceit and stealth. (Saphire)
Appolyon, leader of the Corrupted Quarter, Demon of destruction and power. (Krein)
Kami, leader of God's Tear's, mistress of bribes and control. (me)
Kami killed Aissyle, who managed to transfer his soul to his dimensional double from Hope (Ellysia). Kami captured Ellysia, and thus brought Fault to it's knees, absorbing it into God's Tears. Aissyle and Ellysia became Kami's subordinates unwillingly, although they are not mind-controlled. In the meantime, Kami has interrogated several people from Hope, including Ellysia and Ashley (Wizardgirl). Aissyle has regained a body of his own, and wishes to fight back against Kami, but Ellysia doesn't. Appolyon is in the midst of forming a treaty with Kami to work together, as Kami wishes to use Appolyon's destructive demon armies and her own subterfuge to take control of the world of Hope.
Aki, (Jordan) is basically walking around being bored in the meantime, and Abbadon (Appolyon's opposite from Hope) is swinging around the city trying to figure out where the flying f*ck he is.
