Velvet ebony blanketed the sky, studded with glittering diamonds called stars. A silver crescent hung within the empyrean, shimmering brightly amongst the darkness. Below it, two kingdoms on either side of a colossal river within a valley stood; their magnificent silhouettes a misty gray against the night sky back-drop.
To the east is a kingdom of the oriental sort with majestic buildings that have tiled roofs made of jade. Cascading waterfalls and majestic, granite carvings of tigers and dragons decorated the eastern side. Paper lanterns of all different colors hung in the streets, and sliding screen doors made of paper were lit up from the inside as families gathered around to eat dinner. Silken clothes hung on clothes lines right outside of houses, all down the street. Light, translucent paintings of nature decorated the walls, and complicated patterns were carved into the wood.
To the west is a kingdom that seemed to have come straight from the old fairy tales of the western world. Open fields stretched out behind the kingdom as far as the eye could see, and marble lions and European dragons were carved into the stone walls of the sprawling kingdom. Tunics and leggings were placed out to dry in the air, hung on lines that reached for the sun. Magnificent paintings of significant people and every day activities covered walls within homes or in businesses. Repetitive patterns could be found all over the place: on walls, in clothes, and so on.
Each kingdom had a royal family that lived within the palace that was on the very highest cliff of the kingdoms decorated with the kingdom’s flag. Each royal family had a king and a queen, as well as many heirs.
These two kingdoms have been this way for many, many centuries. Respectively, they’ve been called the Eastern Kingdom and the Western Kingdom according to where they’re located on either side of the River of Glass which is the river that divides the lands in half. In the middle of this river is the Floating World.
The Floating World is an island rumored to have mystical powers within its woods. Mystical powers said to date back to millenniums ago, harvested by the Elders and placed into the temple located there for the earth to recycle.
Long, long ago, before anyone could remember, the two kingdoms found the Floating World and heard of what it has to offer. Therefore, they began to fight for it. Fight for the endless power of the celestial Ancients or Elders from long ago when magic was in its rawest, purest, most ethereal form.
Even to the point or where our story begins, the kingdoms have still been fighting endlessly. However, the memory of the reason why has been lost centuries ago, and now, neither side truly know why they’re fighting anymore…
