The world of Remnant consist of individual races that live in civilised harmony. Remnant's balance was rarely disturbed and War hardly broke out, since all had forgotten about the Tormented Era and it's bloodshed.


But if one race committed a sin that can never be forgiven by the others, war would eventually break out, wouldn't it? It could be even worser than the Tormented Era.
​

Races and Continents

Spoiler

The Faunati race live on the continent of Cortiez.


Faunati are humans that have features of animals, traditions that are similar to animals and characteristics as well.


Cortiez is the 3rd largest continent of Remnant and is the 2nd most inhabited one. The continent has the most variety of environments suited for the race.






Humora is a race of human-beings that are gifted with special type of attributes and abilities, they reside in the continent of Haven. Haven is the largest continent of Remnant and the most inhabited one, since it's the so called 'origin' race. The continent has fresh environments and is the main location for trade.






Skylvians are a race that resembles Harpies. Humans that have some of their limbs replaced with bird features. This race is constantly confused with the Faunati, but they do not go by a specific type of animal's traditions and etc. Their bird-like featured are more obvious than some Faunati features.


Skylvians live in the Airag continent. The Airag continent is the least largest continent since it's inhabitants don't use it's land much at all. It's also the least inhabited continent.






Celtions is the highly respected race, since they're humans that live the longest with their communities having the highest intelligence. They live in the Continent of Valor, which is the 2nd largest continent and the 3rd most inhabited continent.


Other





The Tormented Era was when the races clashed against each other, fighting for the rule of all continents and resources. No races won, since all of them had exhausted most of their population and had to retreat back to their separate lands, which were now their own continents that were shared peacefully. The Era ended when a young group of each race performed a public execution of themselves, as 'martyrs' to stop the war. Some opened their eyes to the bloodshed and stopped themselves from fighting the war, but others were taken aback by their actions and stopped because they feared that the young ones would try do the same and kill themselves for the sake of stopping the war.

ARC 1: Childhood 

Arc 1: Childish Beginnings
​

He didn't have a clue on how he got up here and he sure as hell didn't want to stay up this high any longer. Bitinghis quivering lip, he looked down at the group of kids underneath him.


"I thought you weren't scared of heights, Vasilias!" A male monkey Faunati cried, his eyes brimming with tears of laughter. Vasilias wanted to snap back at him but he focused on trying not to fall off the branch of the tree. It was true, he wasn't afraid of heights. More like falling off, really. He spotted Lani on the other side of the playground and he feebly called out her name and a weak, "Help me out here!"


Lani was so-far, his closest friend in this primary school right now. The others were just unwanted company or there for the shits and giggles. Vasilias lowered himself to a crouch on the branch and pulled down his goggles, he didn't have to pull it down, but he felt like he had to.


"If you're stuck, just tell me!" The monkey Faunati called out to him, a vicious grin spreading across his features.


He looked down at him and glared at him through his goggles.


"I'm fine! I'll get down. Somehow..."

 

[Sandra]

Lani was alone playing with a small ball she found. She thought she heard Lani... But she didn't look. But, just in case, after a few moments, Lani looked back to see her friend, Vasilias, looking kinda of scared in a tree. Lani saw a monkey Faunati looking up at him. Lani sighed and skipped over to them. Not saying anything to the Faunati, Lani started to climb the tree herself. Without a word, was on the same branch as him, but it threatened to break if they didn't get off. Lani offered a hand quietly. "Hurry up or Monkey boy gets the last laugh." She whispered.

 

[Vol]

Vasilias slowly reached out for her hand and accidentally shook the branch as he jumped slightly to the Monkey boy's sniggering. That guy will get it one day, oh he will.


"Yeah." He mumbled, focusing on her hand instead of teetering off. As his hand closed on hers, he felt himself get steady and he slowly made his way to the trunk of the tree and and slowly slid down. As he got back on the ground, the Faunati went up to him to give him a pat on the back. More like a punch to the back.


"Nice going, getting rescued by a girl. Man, you're more lame than your hair!" He laughed, prodding at his goggles. Ignoring the prick, Vasilias sheepishly grinned up at Lani.


"Thanks, hopefully I won't be asking for your help again. Trees aren't that scary, after all."

 

[Sandra]

Lani frowned at the Monkey boy. She turned to Vasilias, Lani smiled. "You're welcome." Then she then silently raised a finger, signaling one second, Lani pulled the Faunatis tail. She grabbed Vasilias hand and started running. She quietly said, "That's what he gets."

 

[Vol]

Vasilias couldn't hold back his laughter as the Faunati howled in surprise. Lani was pretty cool for a girl, and it sucked to say that she might be cooler than him. Maybe when they were older...who would still be the same and who wouldn't?


As they ran to a part of the playground, he stopped to catch his breath then looked up at Lani while panting.


"That...was a bit mean, wasn't it?" He asked, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. "But atleast it was funny."


A loud siren erupted from the school, signalling it to be the end of lunch. Everyone had to get back to class.


Vasilias pulled up his goggles and straightened up to stretch. The Monkey boy was already sprinting back to the classrooms, with his hand gripping his tail.


"Wouldn't want to mess with you when you're mad." He mumbled to himself.

 

[Sandra]

Lain giggled. "He deserved it. C'mon, let's go to class!" She took his hand and dragged him inside. "Also, I wouldn't do that usually. He was being a jerk."

 

[Vol]

A few kids of different races were already in the classroom, chatting with each other and waiting for the teacher. Vasilias looked at her as he was dragged along.


"Well, it was my fault for getting stuck in that tree," he admitted. "You know I'm not scared of heights but falling off is different!"


He was glad that the Monkey Faunati wasn't in the same class as them. The chatter started to die down and some of them returned to their seats while the teacher strolled into the room. The teacher was a Homura with the ability to manipulate movement and the brain. She could be very scary when she's mad.

 

[Sandra]

Lani let go of his hand. "Good Morning." She said smiling to the teacher, hugging her quickly before she sat down by Vasilias. "Uh,. But, he was making fun of you!" She whispered.

 

[Vol]

He wasn't very fond of the teacher, unlike Lani who sat down after hugging her. He had a problem with some of her lessons.


"I always get picked on, but it doesn't really bother me," Vasilias whispered back as the teacher starting writing something on the board. "Because I have a feeling that when I'm older, I'll be better and cooler."


Glynda finished writing on the board and faced her students, a stern but warm smile on her lips. "Alright, students. Today we'll be gathering together to have a practice on your skills." She explained, tapping the writing on the board which said 'Training Day'.


"The Homuras will go to a separate classroom to have a try with their ability. Supervisors will be I and Mr. Norris."


"Faunatis will also go to a separate classroom but accompanied with the Skylvians and the same thing will go for then. They will be taught by Mrs Noland and Ms. Kendrick."


"Celtions stay here and will be continuing on their studies. That is all."


[Gotta go to school for a hike! If I dont reply it means im dying ovo]

 

[Sandra]

Lani whispered as she got up, "But you are cool!" She patted his back and smiled. She paled. "Oh. I didn't practice my water bending... But it is practice day!" She said happily, dragging him again.

 

[Vol]

Vasilias let a small grin form on his face. Friends say those things, right? To make you feel better. Well, it worked, since he was now grinning his face off as she dragged him to the separate classroom to where the Homura's were going to practice.


"I think I learnt how to boil water," He told her. "But I don't have to focus on the water to make it boil, since I figured it out when I got pretty mad at someone near a lake."

 

[Sandra]

Lani giggled. "Cool!" Lani tilted her head a little, "I think I know how to move water in the air... And... Nothing else." She laughed again but shut it when the teachers looked at her.

 

[Vol]

Vasilias' eyes widened slightly, "That's so cool! I haven't even thought of doing that-" he cried excitedly but was hushed by one of the higher grades of Homura.


As the classroom was slowly being filled, Glynda toned down the noise and told everyone to pay attention to Oscar.


"This is how it's gonna start, so pay attention," Oscar started, pushing up his glasses up to the bridge of his nose.


"The older Homuras will be separated into their own group and will be individually told to spar with each other,"


"Younger Homuras will just watch them for a while before doing the same thing."


Glynda looked at them and made a motion with his hand, then the classroom bustled into activity to sort themselves out.

 

[Sandra]

"You're going to be my partner!!!" She hugged him and watched the older ones. She's as in awe. "They are awesome...I like his power." She pointed as one controlled plants, using them to slither slowly to the opponents ankles while he distracts them.

 

[Vol]

Vasilias awkwardly hugged her back and his hand went to the nape of his neck when he finished hugging her, then he chuckled. He looked at the older Homura that Lani was apparently fascinated about, watching him control some plants and wrap itself at the ankle of one of his classmates and tripping them when he was the distraction.


"Y-yeah, they're cool," Vasilias stammered, watching the plant-user Homura being blown back in retaliation by his partner when she was tripped. "Since I'm your partner, does it mean we have to fight against each other? Hope not..."


Vasilias tore his gaze away from the Plant Homura and the Air Homura to a fight between two girls. One of them was a Lightning Homura and she used the electricity around her to create some sort of Bolt Spear. Vasilias tilted his head in amazement, could he make a weapon from water too...?

 

[Sandra]

Lani smiled as she see them fight but her attention was drifted to the lightning Homura, she saw Vasilias looking at the same girl. Lani leaned over and whispered to him, "Are you thinking what I'm thinking...?" She looked at the girls lightning weapon.

 

[Vol]

Vasilias side-glanced at her. "Hmm, what?" He asked as they both stared at the Lightning Homura throw the Bolt Spear at her classmate before Ms Mysotis intercepted it. "Man...I wonder if I can make a Trident out of water." He whispered to himself, suddenly thinking about his own waterbending ability.

 

[Sandra]

"That girl made a weapon!" She whispered. "Maybe I can make a weapon too..."'she said looking at her own hands and then at Vasilias. "That would be cool, if you made the trident."

 

[Vol]

"Okay, younger students. Get into your pairs and prepare to spar!" Oscar yelled above the noise of the fights.


Vasilias gulped as he saw some of others already getting up to fight each other. He nervously looked at Lani but kept a smile on his face.


"Y-yeah, we both can make a weapon," He agreed, nodding. He kept talking to keep his nerves under control, he've seen Lani use her skills before, she was pretty good. "Um...can you go easy on me or...?"

 

[Sandra]

Lani laughed. "Easy? What do you mean? You have awesome skills too." She said smiling. "To be honest.. I don't care if I win or lose. It's just practice!" She hugged him quickly before she started to make some distance between them, waiting for him to get ready to fight as well.

 

[Vol]

He watched her walk a fair bit away from him and his hand instinctively went up to pull his goggles down on his eyes.


"It'll be so uncool of me to lose to a girl though.." Vasilias murmured as he stood up and started to tense his body.


He spotted a water-bottle near-by and he raised his palm at it's direction. "Looks like I'll start." He said as he suddenly clicked his fingers and the water-bottle's lid erupted open and water slithered out of it's container like a python. Vasilias pulled his arm back and the water moved with his gesture and flowed around him.


"Okay..okay, I got this!" He exclaimed, scrunching up his face in concentration.

 

[Sandra]

Lani looked around for water. But she couldn't. So she had to fight for it. She put up her hands as well, concentrating to pull the water away from him, "Okay... Okay.. Okay.. Okay..okay..." She muttered to herself.

 

[Vol]

Half of his water went to Lani and he grunted. "Oi! Th-that's so unfair!" Vasilias stammered as he saw his small quantity of water left to strike with. His eyes flashed beneath his goggles and raised both of his arms upwards, the water following it. Before he could do anything, Vasilias was knocked side-ways by a stray attack from one of the other Homuras.


His water splashed onto the floor and Vasilias rubbed his chin as he heard a string of apologies stammer from a girl who was kneeling down next to him.

 

[Sandra]

Lani already shot an attack, but the girl kneeling by him got the impact. Lani gasped as the water slammed into her, "S-SORRY!" He yelled and ran over to them, slipping on the water, she fell on the girl too, getting hurt as well. "Ugh..." She groaned, getting up.

 

[Vol]

"What in Haven's name is going on with you three?!" Glynda cried, walking over to them and shaking her head at the puddles of water. Vasilias whimpered as he felt the weight of Lani and the other girl Homura on him, they were surprisingly heavy.


"Nothing, Ms. Myosotis! I...sort of hit one of them and then something hit me and..." The girl Homura managed to say as she let out a airy gasp since Lani was ontop of her.


"Chelsea, Lani and Vasilias. Get yourselves sorted out or I'll have to sort you three myself." Glynda sighed, dismissing Chelsea's excuse.


Vasilias groaned loudly and he tried to pry his goggles off his face. "Lani...you okay? You slipped on water and it looked pretty funny."
