Aika Background Story
Birth of the Humans
In ancient times stood the Arcan, a land created by the deity known as Aika. This land was populated by creations of Aika - the Scinic. The Scinic were a kind and just race, whose societies grew and evolved for three centuries. But with no conflict to avert, the Scinic grew restless and disenchanted with life. The Scinic elders blamed Aika for the lack of purpose in their lives but still decided to ask her for mercy. They wished only to rest under the land of Arcan until a time in which their lives could have more meaning.
Though Aika's first creations had failed her, she realized there must be a balance of good and evil for harmony to be achieved. In order to achieve this balance, Aika created the humans. She placed the humans on the land of Arcan to thrive and grow as a civilization. But soon she learned that her second creation was also flawed. The Arcan land began to be tainted with wars, bigotry and growing immorality.
Infuriated and disappointed with her creations, Aika struggled to make the Arcan a utopia for all her creatures. In her rage to cleanse the land, she created the Zereca - creatures that contained a piece of her. The Zereca was to act as a judge and jury to disinfect the Arcan of all the evils that had grown.
Retreat to the Sky
Aika grew tired and worn because of the distress brought upon by her creatures. She viewed her creations from above and began to be remoreseful in the creation of the Zereca, a race created in anger. Soon the Zereca scourge the land and ran bloodthirsty with power, bringing the other creations close to extinction. They are forced to hide in fear. As a last resort, she called upon the Great Prophet Giovanni to perform a mass exodus to Lakia. With her remaining power she lifted the land of Lakia into the sky, away from the clutches of the Zereca. Finally, Aika fell into a deep sleep and the fragments of her essence in the Zereca caused them to share her slumber.
The Awakening
Three hundred years have passed and the land of Humans has prospered. In the distance, Aika begins to stir and wake, along with the Zereca. In their weakened state, the Zereca create the Jerennises to spread dark energy to the land in preparation of their awakening. Feeling this dark energy, Aika creates her own creatures to help the humans, the Pran.
And so begins the war of Arcan, and the Aika's awakening...
