The Gifted Warriors

    Long ago, when every continent was connected and was one big landmass. The gods felt that everything that was once in balance and at peace with each other will be pulled apart. Not much later, changes appeared in the species that roamed the super continent. They fought each other, not with the need to survive but with darkened pleasure.      The gods panicked and saw the evil seeping through the Earth, causing the landmass to separate and the unlikeliest of species evolved into two-legged creatures who were full of darkness. They showed the signs of the evil one, also known as the seven deadly sins.      The gods held a meeting and decided that something needed to be done to help bring the balance back to the Earth and protect those who were innocent and destroy the darkness that consumed almost everything.      The gods put the Great Luna in charge of creating the peace keepers because only she had the power to keep the Great Star from burning life. They balanced each other and they were known as the Great Mates. He gave her light and warmth, and she gave him guidance and calmed his aggressiveness.      The Great Luna wanted the peacekeepers to have what she had because nothing is better than balance. So she granted the males to feel the warmth when they found their rightful mate, just like the Great Star gave her. The Great Star wanted the peacekeepers to feel safe, protected, and loved like he wanted his Luna to feel when they found each other.      And they both promised to each other that if one should die the other one would follow because even an immortal life without the other would be like living being burned alive in the flames of hell. And so shall their children.     There is a legend of the Great Mates original children. Four boys were each individually gifted by different gods. The gift of the ability to lead, to be Alpha of the population of the peace keepers, to remind the others that everyone plays apart in the balance. The gift of strength, to be able to overpower those who defied the Great Mates. The gift of hunting, so he can be able to kill the evil out of the world and ensure survival. The gift of brains, to give wisdom to those who have lost their way.      These four gifted children of the moon and stars were called the Gifted Warriors who protect the light that was left on Earth from the darkness. Soon as to be expected the boys soon came pleading to their parents informing them that they could feel the darkness consuming themselves. They begged for help and their prayers were answered when she-wolves came and greeted them. Sensing their mates they have each been paired with their other half and they felt their souls repaired and felt whole once more.      The Gifted Warriors fought courageously and fearlessly against the darkness and with their newly found other halves, nothing could stop them. But little did they know that time took it's toll on everything, even though they were descendants from immortals the Earth has turn the clock faster. Sure the evil two-legged died quicker due to a shorter life span but they would still die some time.     The gifts the gods have given the first of our kind have faded and mixed together after they had died. Word came from the gods that the gifts will show themselves again when a darkness so great will threaten the Earth once again.     No one would have expected that that time would be millions of years later and I would have found the gifts myself the day before I was sent to meet them to see if I was the other half of one of their souls.
