There was once nothing, except a single being named Sakrit. Sakrit flew through the everlasting void for many years, but soon grew lonely, and made a friend. This friend was named Osra. Osra and Sakrit played and chatted and laughed, until one day, Sakrit wished for more.


Soon, Sakrit had made the Earth, and when Osra saw this (he had been asleep when it happened) he was delighted! They looked for and cared for the earth, until they wanted even more. They made the sun, moons, more planets, black holes, physics, time, worm holes, solar systems, galaxies, dimensions.


Sakrit and Osra were overjoyed to see their complexity of stars and clouds and water... but they saw something was missing. Something important. Soon, Sakrit saw what it was. Their universe was missing life itself! Sakrit made the large boars, humming bees, wild grasses, tall redwoods, and fishes. Osra, seeing Sakrit's creations, wished to help too, but Osra was too weak.


Osra had enough power to make the largest suns, but life was a skill only attained through experience, which Osra didn't have. Osra's creations all came out wrong: Wyrms, goblins, undead, and other hideous, cunning creatures.


Osra immediately realized his mistake, and begged Sakrit's forgiveness. Sakrit, being old and wise, forgave him, as he hadn't done anything truly wrong. Sakrit even presented Osra with a gift, a palace called the Deck of Earth.The Deck of Earth was made from diamonds, marble, gold, and emeralds. Osra refused the offer, but thanked Sakrit anyway, and wished to live alone beneath the Earth.


Sakrit kindly left Osra to his own biddings, keeping the Deck of Earth. The Deck of Earth had the best security system there was: The gate was carved with the four runes of protection; Brace, Strength, Durability, andPeace. Of course, these runes could be countered by the runes of the four elements: Fire, Water, Air andEarth.


Osra's sorrow soon turned to anger, jealousy, and hatred, all against Sakrit, for making such a miserable being as he. Osra soon had a plan. He went to the Deck of Earth and knocked on the door to the palace. Sakrit, powerful enough to ignore the protections on the door, swung it open to embrace his old friend, but was surprised to see Osra wielding a sword of remarkable proportion.


Before Sakrit could ask the meaning of the sword, Osra swung his sword and cut a large gash in Sakrit's chest. Sakrit, surprised, shocked, offended, and rendered... weak... from the wound, used the rest of his strength to send Osra out the door and back into the earth. Sakrit knew that Osra would come back to look for the runes to open the door, and by then Sakrit would not have the strength to fight back. So Sakrit devised a plan;he would summon 5 heroes to his presence to send out on a quest to find the runes before Osra did, so Osra could not open the door and kill Sakrit.


Sakrit was sure that if Osra had the intent to kill him, he would also have the intent to murder his creations and make them suffer at his hands. And that is where we are now... Go! Off to find the runes and stop Osra!
