The creation of Seionis

The universe, a vast amount of space almost endless, filled with another, seemingly endless, amount of wonders and miracles. Out of those wonders and miracles one stands out better than any others in the vast amount of space, The Earth. The meeting place of all uniqueness and intelligence in the universe, the planet is perfect, it has land and water, mountains and lakes, forests and ice caps. It has everything that is almost impossible to have, in the huge universe, squeezed into one tiny planet. All these small but important things equal one even more impossible thing...life. 

This small blue and green planet has done what all planets in the entire universe have come near but were never able to support. It has wielded this life well too, producing many different forms and types of life, from plants to animals, and from fish to reptiles, the list goes on. And still to this day it produces more and more intelligent and beautiful forms of life, in example, the humans. A form of intelligent life that has found the use of science and religion to be it's guide into the mysteries of the universe. This race has gotten far and created great feats of ingenuity, hard work, and craftsmanship furthering the Earth's uniqueness.

 Although the Earth and all its inhabitants lack one great and very important thing...magic. The small planet with all it's uniqueness and life could not support the entity of magic. It was almost as if all it's power was directed to the power of life and magic was left out of the equation. This is where the story of Seionis and the gems of power come into play.

During the creation of all that is within this universe magic itself was released directly from the creation of the planets and asteroids. This magic was wild and rampant, uncontrolled. It was wild and caused many amazing and deadly things from the beautiful stars and ringed planets like Saturn, to the deadly vacuum and black holes. At one point however most of the magic converged on one point by coincidence of trying to create something great and all the magic that converged made something amazing, great, good, and beautiful....the great Opal. This huge vessel of all good magic was also, because of it's magic, sentient. It helped the formation of the universe as best it could letting nature take it's course most of the time. At one point it let nature take over completely and the small planet we know as Earth was formed, the Opal was fascinated, never before had it seen such beauty and perfection before from something not of magic. It watched the system of planets form and create itself and watched the planet closely. It saw the one thing that it thought wasn't possible without magic form...Life. It was dumbfounded here it had stopped helping the formation of the universe and this magnificent occurrence just appeared and kept getting better. The Opal decided to watch this beauty run it's course and fell in love with it. It watched the creation of animals and the intelligent humans, it watched it grow and evolve. The humans followed some ideas of religion and some followed the explanation of everything known as science. The Opal watched the Earth for billions of years seeing the evolution and changing life on it. The Opal however fell in love with one age of imagination an thinking and when it looked like the darkest day the humans prevailed and emerged from it with science and learning ten-fold. The Opal decided to see how the humans would respond to something new and although magic was repelled from the small planet the Opal was able to place thoughts and memories of the one thing that governed a lot of the universe...magic.

 They responded with the creation of stories and art so vast and creative the Opal was astounded, but one thought was created that was the same throughout every human mind that was imputed with the idea of magic...Dragons. The idea of a ferocious yet gentle beast of magic, land, and air. They even thought of water dragons it spread like wildfire across the small planet and worried the Opal that it might of caused something irreversible, but luckily at the time of the end of the period that the Opal loved known as the Medieval ages the idea of magic almost disappeared all together. The Opal finally decided at this point to create it's own world, one that was, like the Earth, life filled and had the one thing that Earth was missing,  magic. It set to work creating a planet about two times bigger than that of the Earth, with a vast sea surrounding two islands. One was a huge land mass bigger than the Asian continent on Earth and filled with forests, lakes, rivers, mountains, and fields. The second island was a bit smaller in size and was covered in sand creating a beach side desert, that reached up to a huge amount of rock formations creating something similar to the grand canyon. As the Opal was creating this secondary island another sentient vessel of magic found the Opal's new world. This vessel of magic was created by the exact opposite way the Opal was created, it was made by the absence of magic, in fact the absence of everything the Onyx was formed from a giant black hole way out on the edge of the universe the hole had sucked in all the light and magic around itself until there was absolutely nothing left. Then it actually fell in on itself, and instead of disappearing the action created something instead. The Onyx, black as space itself, void of all color and light acted like it had before but instead of sucking in light and matter it sucked in all negative magic thus creating a vessel of evil.

The Onyx saw the Opals plans for it's new world and watched it form the planet and life. It watched as the Opal created animals,most spawns of the human's imaginations, like phoenixes, Sea serpents, Griffons, Pegasus, giant wolves, and the magic wielding, magnificent Dragons white as the Opal itself. The Onyx decided it wanted this planet for itself and took over the new weak minds of almost half the dragons and claimed the northern part of the main land mass as it's own, raising huge mountains ranges to divide the continent. The Opal was enraged that this vessel had tried to take what it had worked so hard to create, the Opal left the second smaller island barren to go to war with the Onyx and stop the spread of it's evil power. The Opal was more pure and since it was made of all good magic it was more powerful than the Onyx which couldn't create dragons only take their minds over. There was one flaw with the Opal though, that which the Onyx exploited fully after millions of years of fighting.

The Opal was made up of many different powers, types of magic, and emotions. The Onyx saw this and decided then and there. To use it because it was loosing the fight, it simply could not turn enough creatures evil to keep up with the Opal. The Onyx chose five of it's top dragons and gave them the gift of free will so that the Opal would never suspect them he turned their color a pale white, which completed the look and feel of an Opal dragon for those choice five. They then, after the Onyx tricked their free will easily into forcing them to separate the Opal, snuck into the southern part of the island through the mountains and after getting into the ranks got close enough to the Opal to finally do it. The five dragons split the Opal into five individual parts, the red Ruby gem of fire and aggression, the blue Sapphire gem of water and calm, the green Emerald gem of plants and honor, the gold Topaz gem of earth and nobility, and the silver Diamond gem of air and compassion. After it was done the Onyx called the five back but with their free will and having the power of one of the five parts of the Opal that once was about to beat the Onyx they thought they would be able to face the Onyx and win. They split the southern part of the island into five parts and told the remaining Opal dragons to come to their gem because it was the best and as strong as the Opal.

 The five started becoming masters of their gems powers and forming civilizations out of the remaining Opal dragons. Later they found that newly borns, without the Opal present, had no magic and they would place the dragon on the gems and they would look into the dragon's future to see if there would be evil or suffering in it's life and if there was then it would end it's life there and keep it from suffering later. If it passed the test then the gem would instill it's magic in it and change it's scales from the dull grey to the same color as the gem of choice. 

For thousands of years the planet of Seionis lived in relative peace as the civilizations of dragons grew. The Onyx stayed behind the mountains because although the Opal was divided for now if the gems ever worked together the Opal would reform and be more powerful then before. So for thousands of years the Onyx lay dormant planning waiting for the perfect time. After many years of peace however the civilizations grew and eventually needed more space, the different gems went to war with the others trying to become the best and overthrow the other, all but the diamond fought and none ever once gained any more space than they had before. That is until a divided Opal cried out to it's creations, sending a message to two dragons of complete opposite races. 

A female Ruby and a male Sapphire received dreams in the night, before a huge all out battle between their two races, showing nothing but themselves floating in darkness in the middle of space, as they floated in the vast nothing a light started to shine in the huge empty space as they headed to it they saw that it was the Opal, the vessel of all good and their creator, floating as magic emanated from it. Then as the Opal raised the two saw each other and as they stared the Opal shone brightly and blinded them waking them from the dream they were having. The two didn't understand why they saw the Opal or why they saw their arch enemy in the same dream, they decided to ignore it for the time being and focus on the battle ahead.

 The two dragon forces clashed, fire and water, aggression and calm, two utter opposites collided in a fury of ice, lava, fire, water, thought out plans, and brute force met head on equaling each other exactly in strength and prowess. Then in the heat of battle and the chill of death the two chosen dragons met Suspyria and Rynes met face to face as they landed on the same spot the war raged around them. Time seemed to slow as they stared at each other completely forgetting the wars, the hatred for each others race, everything gone, just him, and her, in one space, untouched in the middle of destruction and hatred. They immediately fell in love, and not two split seconds after they both remembered their dreams and seeing each other in it. They knew what they should do, reunite the gems into the Opal and cease the reign of hatred and wars, creating peace once again. They ran from the battle together never once getting scathed as they flew away to hide and plan, they planned for two days and two nights, being guided by their dreams of the Opal. 

They finally decided to start the quest for the Opal with their own races, they would each go to the gem keepers and try and convince them to give up the gem to be made into the Opal, and if they wouldn't listen then to take the gem by force is what the two would do. They set off in opposite directions hoping for success, they did not get it and all they got from it was two halves of the Ruby and the Sapphire. The two did what they could with what they had, they fuzed the two halves into one gem, creating...the Amethyst the gem of pure magic and courage. This new gem shined and pulsated with magic and the prospect of reuniting the Opal was not a new idea soon many left their races to join the Amethyst and it grew in power and strength. The Amethyst, already being two parts of two really powerful gems, was way more powerful than any other race and even could rival the Onyx if it were to show it's black surface. Although the two founders and the followers believed in the Opal's good side so much they did not force it on the other dragons, they only accepted willing followers to the cause and not those that only wanted the great power the Amethyst provided. The Amethyst race grew and lived in peace, never attacking anyone and never needing to defend itself, the two started to stray from the path the Opal had laid down and as a result they got less and less visions until they did not receive any. The Amethyst race lives on secluded, strong, and independent, closer to the mountain range, that borders the good and evil lands, than any other race dared near.
