The praetorian universe used to be very different from how we know it today, before there were no kingdoms like now, it was a single region and peace reigned, but there was a man who was not satisfied, his name was Arius. At that time he was my friend, but his lust for power led him to discover the stone of chaos, with it in his hands he went mad, he obtained unequaled magical power, that made him the most powerful man of all.

I remember that I opposed him but in vain, I could not stop him, that brought as a consequence the first war of all, something evident because 5 kingdoms emerged, water, earth, fire, life and death, each one of them with its own civilization, mentality and desires, some peaceful, others not so much, the truth is that it only brought chaos, just as the stone indicates in its name.

While he continued with the narration, the queen of Alter-Pretoria interrupted him.

Golem, I need you to do something for me.

Yes my lady Lux, she replied.

The young listeners were a little sad because they longed to continue hearing about what had happened, but the Golem before leaving told them, in the center of memories that is in the meadows, there you can see the records we have collected since then, as warriors of our kingdom is necessary to learn everything you need, just be careful.

Hearing this they did not hesitate and set out on their way, in their hearts they wanted to know more about this matter, the only thing they did not take into account was that they would discover the misfortune of their good friend, the golem.

When they arrived at the place, a door was in front of them, it had a written question that said: Do you dispose your life to move forward? When they read it they were surprised because they did not understand, but they were not too careful and nodded in response. When they did so, the door was opened in front of them and they entered an area that was totally unknown to them.

What they did not know was that this door transferred their memories to the times of the records, a magical action thanks to the unknown power of Lux Vega, their queen. As they were taken back to ancient times, their bodies lay inert outside the gate, it was as if they had been stripped of their souls.

Their eyes were stunned by what they observed, giant beasts, ferocious dragons and warriors of all kinds confronted each other without mercy, the amount of techniques overwhelmed them but it fascinated them to know that there was a different world than the one they knew, sadly for them it was out of their reach.

Time passed and they met Arius and a character named Drak in a conversation, they did not understand much of what they were talking about but they heard and saw very important things.

Arius I don't agree with what you are doing, you let yourself be carried away by power and you don't care about bringing war and destruction, this Drak was telling him, but Arius didn't care. Sitting in his chair he just looked at him and smiled, after that he stood up and told him: what is done is done, you can't go back, I have unleashed chaos in this world, only the powerful will survive, so you should take care of yourself and not worry about me.

Drak looked at him and said: It really saddens me to see what you have become, you have gone mad and someone must stop you, otherwise you will end up with the whole world.

My power has no limits," said the wizard. "You cannot stop me, for that you would have to kill me and you do not have the power to do it.
You are wrong old friend, I am willing to die if necessary, but I swear I will stop you here and now, so get ready!

After that short dialogue a fierce battle began, Drak was a skilled warrior but Arius with his magic kept him away, it was very difficult to get close to him because he generated a lot of lightning as a defense, every time Drak was about to hit him he was countered. Although the battle looked even, the reality was that there was a big difference between the two, something that was noticeable as the fight progressed.

The damage caused by Arius made Drak slower and slower, his attacks had no effect, however he was just waiting for an opportunity to execute his "Kamikaze destruction" a technique that could end the life of any opponent at the cost of his own. In his heart he had the will to do it, but he did not see how to achieve it.

Arius was a man who enjoyed fighting, he had a lot of intelligence in battle, but his ruthlessness was something to be feared, and his old friend Drak was about to witness it first hand. The fight was about to end and Arius got close enough to destroy him with one of his lightning bolts, but this proximity was what Drak was waiting for to execute his attack, when he did it he was surprised by the quick response of his rival, who being on the verge of being finished neutralized Drak's power and deflected it by means of a magic field.

The hopes of victory had vanished, Drak fell to the ground and approached him, then he said: that was close, but not so close as to defeat me, after that he continued, I see that you are about to die, however I will not let you do it, I will use a prison of chains and I will take the soul out of your body, but do not worry, you will not die, I will lock you under curse, and you will only be free when you defeat me... something that will never happen.

When he finished speaking, Arius put his hand on Drak's dying chest and pronounced the words "Ejecutare almare furum", after that moment, the young observers witnessed the most terrible thing of their lives, Drak's soul was extracted and locked in the body of someone very close to them, whom they knew as Chain Golem.

The vision ended and they woke up from their trance, when they did so they saw the closed door and read the question, they understood what it meant to "dispose their life", now their resolution had changed, they were willing to fight against the evil of Arius, no matter if their life was lost in it.

El universo pretoriano solía ser muy diferente a como lo conocemos el día de hoy, antes no existían reinos como ahora, era una sola región y reinaba la paz, pero había un hombre que no estaba satisfecho, su nombre era Arius. En aquel entonces era mi amigo, pero sus ansias de poder lo llevaron a descubrir la piedra del caos, con ella en sus manos se volvió loco, obtuvo un poder mágico inigualable, eso lo convirtió en el hombre más poderoso de todos.

Recuerdo que me opuse a él pero fue en vano, no lo pude detener, eso trajo como consecuencia la primera guerra de todas, algo evidente pues emergieron 5 reinos, agua, tierra, fuego, vida y muerte, cada uno de ellos con su propia civilización, mentalidad y deseos, unos pacíficos, otros no tanto, lo cierto es que solo trajo un caos, tal cual como la piedra lo indica en su nombre.

Mientras proseguía con la narración, la reina de Alter – pretoria le interrumpió

Golem, necesito que hagas algo para mí

Si mi señora Lux, respondió

Los jóvenes oyentes se quedaron un poco tristes porque anhelaban seguir oyendo acerca de lo que había acontecido, pero el Golem antes de irse les indico, en el centro de los recuerdos que se encuentra en las praderas, allí pueden ver los registros que hemos recolectado desde aquel entonces, como guerreros de nuestro reino es necesario que aprendan todo lo necesario, solo tengan cuidado.

Al oír esto no dudaron y emprendieron su camino, en su corazón querían conocer más acerca de este asunto, lo único que no tenían en cuenta era que descubrirían la desdicha de su buen amigo, el golem.

Cuando llegaron al lugar, una puerta estaba frente a ellos, tenía una pregunta escrita que decía: ¿Dispones tu vida para seguir adelante? Al leerla se extrañaron porque no entendieron, pero no tuvieron mucho cuidado y asintieron en forma de respuesta. Al hacerlo la puerta fue abierta frente a ellos y accedieron a una zona que les era totalmente desconocida.

Lo que no sabían era que esta puerta trasladaba sus memorias a los momentos de los registros, una acción mágica gracias al poder desconocido de Lux Vega, su reina. Mientras eran llevados a tiempos antiguos, sus cuerpos yacían inertes fuera de la puerta, era como si se les hubiera despojado del alma.

Sus ojos estaban atónitos por lo que observaban, bestias gigantes, dragones feroces y guerreros de todo tipo de enfrentaban sin piedad, la cantidad de técnicas les abrumaba pero les fascinaba saber que había un mundo diferente al que conocían, tristemente para ellos estaba fuera de su alcance.

Pasó el tiempo y se encontraron con Arius y un personaje llamado Drak en una conversación, no entendían mucho de que hablaban pero escucharon y vieron cosas muy importantes.

Arius no estoy de acuerdo con lo que estás haciendo, te dejas llevar por el poder y no te importa traer guerra y destrucción, esto le decía Drak, pero a Arius no le importaba. Sentado en su silla solo lo miraba y sonreía, luego de eso se levantó y le dijo: lo hecho, hecho esta, no se puede volver atrás, he desencadenado el caos en este mundo, solo el poderoso sobrevivirá, así que deberías cuidarte a ti mismo y no preocuparte por mí.

Drak lo miro y le dijo: Realmente me entristece ver en lo que te has convertido, te has vuelto loco y alguien te debe detener, de lo contrario acabaras con el mundo entero.

Mi poder no tiene límites le dijo el mago, tu, no puedes detenerme, para eso tendrías que matarme y no tienes el poder para hacerlo.
Te equivocas viejo amigo, estoy dispuesto a morir si es necesario, pero juro que te detendré aquí y ahora, ¡así que prepárate!

Luego de ese corto dialogo comenzó una feroz batalla, Drak era un guerrero habilidoso pero Arius con su magia lo mantenía alejado, era muy difícil acercársele pues generaba muchos rayos como defensa, cada vez que Drak estaba por golpearlo era contrarrestado. Aunque la batalla se veía pareja la realidad es que había mucha diferencia entre ambos, algo que se iba notando a medida que avanzaba el combate.

Los daños causados por Arius hacían que Drak fuera cada vez más lento, sus ataques no surtían efecto, sin embargo solo estaba esperando una oportunidad para ejecutar su “Kamikaze destruction” una técnica que podía acabar con la vida de cualquier rival a costa de la suya misma. En su corazón tenía la voluntad para hacerlo, pero no veía cómo lograrlo.

Arius era un hombre que disfrutaba pelear, tenía mucha inteligencia en las batallas, pero su crueldad era algo de temer, y su viejo amigo Drak estaba por presenciarlo de primera mano. El combate estaba por terminar y Arius se acercó lo suficiente para destruirlo con uno de sus rayos, pero esta cercanía era lo que Drak estaba esperando para ejecutar su ataque, cuando lo hizo quedo sorprendido por la rápida respuesta de su rival, el cual estando al borde de ser acabado neutralizo el poder de Drak y lo desvió por medio de un campo mágico.

Las esperanzas de victoria se habían esfumado, Drak cayó al suelo y se le acerco, luego le dijo: eso estuvo cerca, pero no tanto como para derrotarme, luego de eso prosiguió, veo que estas a punto de morir, sin embargo no te dejare hacerlo, utilizare una prisión de cadenas y sacare el alma de tu cuerpo, pero no te preocupes, no morirás, te encerrare bajo maldición, y solo serás libre cuando logres vencerme…algo que jamás sucederá.

Al terminar de hablar, Arius puso su mano sobre el pecho moribundo de Drak y pronuncio las palabras “Ejecutare almare furum”, luego de ese momento, los jóvenes observadores presenciaron lo más terrible de sus vidas, el alma de Drak fue extraída y encerrada en el cuerpo de alguien muy cercano a ellos, a quien conocían como Chain Golem.

La visión termino y despertaron de su trance, al hacerlo vieron la puerta cerrada y leyeron la pregunta, comprendieron lo que significa “disponer su vida”, ahora su resolución había cambiado, estaban dispuestos a luchar contra la maldad de Arius, sin importar que su vida se perdiera en ello.
