The Lost Crusade ~ The Time For War Has Come...

The Lost Crusade (Chapter I - The Dawning of the Ages)
----------------------------
Millennia ago... the world wasn't as it is today... Before you and I were born, the lands were different, much different, they had never seen war, and only a few lands remain to this day that are forever the same. Most are undiscovered and far away from the now changed land, away so they can't be disturbed. But then one day the peace was lost, there was a great disturbance which can only be named as the Rebirth. You see, centuries before the Rebirth, there was Evil, the wickedest sin that was looked upon by all, except by the thirteenth Zodiac, Ophiuchus whom may also be known as Arachne. His Dark Magiks caused people to aid him in his war for power, he wouldn't stop until he had it all, until people bowed down to him, and that nothing could stop him. Great battles were fought; all whom he and his men fought suffered, or were captured and taken into slavery. It seemed all hope was lost for the free people, but then from nowhere, a Great Hero came! The free people doubted him; the twelve Zodiacs knew he would not fail. Only known as The Messenger, he fought the Great Evil for seven days and seven nights. All thought that the Evil had prevailed and defeated him, and that they should give up hope and bow allegiance to the Great Evil. But they were wrong, he came back. Not only did he come back, but he came back a Hero! He had defeated the Great Evil, it is said that the secret to his success was that he had been fused with the twelve Zodiacs; each had given a part of them to him to aid him on his Quest for Victory!

It is also claimed that he had the essence of God inside of him, some state that he was a son of Ophiuchus. But it is unknown to all if these stories are true. When the Zodiacs are questioned, they just state, all shall be learnt in time...

The Lost Crusade (Chapter II - The Rebirth)
----------------------------
Up until only five hundred years ago, he was just a Myth to all, except to the Great people who had survived. The Zodiacs. The people were worried once again, the Great Hero they had heard stories about wouldn't come, and he was no more than a Legend now. He had died almost five hundred years before the Rebirth according to some. He had lived a long life, much longer than most. But he had done his part for the well being of the free people. It was now another’s turn to take up the Quest of defeating the Great Evil, and become a Hero for the sake of the free people. To this day, there has been no Hero; it is still unknown how Ophiuchus was reborn. Even the Zodiacs have no idea how he came into being once more. But he won't stop the madness until he has conquered all. Some say that he has a son that did it, they call him Archus, they believe his son had brought him back after so long so that he may once more Rule the World!

The Rebirth had come!
