The Tales of Ragnarok
Soul Crystal Quest
Soul Crystal Quest
Prologue
In the beginning there was naught but a hallow space in the cosmos. It was then a bright light flashed and three holy deities descended from the heavens. Ezamuel, the God of Benevolence, commanded his arch angels, the Nadsirs, to create the realms of Grandoris, Helwhorl and Sanctyven. Azeriel, the Goddess of Integrity, used her divine soul to instill life into the worlds and created life. The last holy deity Zailong, the God of Judgement, took it upon himself to reign over the three realms as their Judge and cast his holy judgment upon all sinners. Lastly the gods took it upon themselves to bring life into guardians to protect the realms. Yggdrasil, the Tree of Life, was birthed on Grandoris to provide divine protection for its inhabitants the Humans, Elves and Theimbors. Charon, a ferocious hell beast was born to guard the demons of Helwhorl and ferry sinners who died to an afterlife of eternal hell. The final guardian is Beilorvus, the Eternal Blue Moon of Knowledge and the Goddess of Sanctyven, a Nadsir that watches over Sanctyven, the heaven of Grandoris.
For four thousand years peace and unity was kept between the realms and the gods had peace of mind. However when demons from Helwhorl are summoned by Ruuki Dergin to invade the Hobstern household it spells trouble for both Brandon Hobstern and Rachel Cecilia. Driven by the fact that Rachel's soul is bound to Zailong, God of Judgement, a deity described as Purgatory in one divine body Ruuki aims to absorb Rachel's soul and ultimately control Zailong to rain down her ungodly judgment on the cosmos. Of course Brandon and his friends say otherwise. With his friends Marcus Twill, Steve Loomer and Edward Zenos the four friends team up as Rachel's bodyguards and venture through their homeland Grandoris to sever her ties with the God of Judgement himself.
Of course when a dark lord known as Yamidoris appears before Brandon and rips Rachel's soul out of her body Yggdrasil enchants Rachel's soul, keeping Zailong's Life Force Code intact but Brandon shatters her soul into a thousand Soul Crystal Shards and scatters them over the realms of Grandoris, Helwhorl and Sanctyven in the process. It is now up to Brandon, Marcus, Edward and Steve to reclaim Rachel's broken soul and restore her back to normal. Of course their ultimate goal is preventing Yamidoris and Ruuki from obtaining the raw energy that emits from her soul. If and only when he acquires this energy Yamidoris plans on using it to become the Overlord of the Cosmos while Ruuki still plans on destroying the universe. Of course Brandon is equipped with an ancient sword that was forged by the gods themselves and fueled by the very raw energy of Rachel's Soul Crystal Shards the Blade of Purging, Ragnarok.
However Yamidoris and Ruuki aren't the heroes' only dilemma. A shadow clone of Brandon known as Chaos rears his head and plans to use Shadow magic to kill Brandon due to his direct connections to Yggdrasil, the Tree of Life. Determined to protect Brandon from Chaos, recover Rachel's Soul Crystal Shards and preventing Ruuki and Yamidoris' sinister plans Brandon, Edward, Marcus and Steve travel through the vast lands of magic, heaven and hell. Along the way the friends will obtain aid from creatures known as Espers, elemental beings that control the elements of Earth, Air, Water, Fire, Ice, Thunder, Light and Darkness. Of course ultimately Brandon aims to acquire the compassion and love from the one he holds dear, Rachel Cecilia. This could only be known as the Blossoming Love Saga of The Ragnarok Stories. This is The Tales of Ragnarok: Soul Crystal Shard Quest.
