Flames of the Azure Sky

Before history began, the Five Realms were one continent, divided into northern and southern shores by a vast rift.

The south worshiped the Holy Light, Ming Chen, while the north revered the Demon Lord, Ming Chen. The two sides coexisted in a delicate balance.

Then, one day, the person who would shatter that balance appeared, leading that glorious civilization down the road to ruin.

The Demon Lord Ming Chen was sealed away, the Holy Light Ming Chen fell into slumber, and the holy messenger Algalufa was cast into another world. The Five Realms continent split down the middle, and islands rose from the force of the cataclysm, forming the Five Realms as people know them today.

What stories lie behind those few words preserved in the history books?

[PS] I'm terrible at writing blurbs, so this may be a little confusing... Basically, it's a prequel to Northern Cross, a story set at the end of the Genesis era.

This is a preview version. As I kept writing, my ideas grew and grew until I realized I couldn't handle them all, so I'm planning to start over. Ahem...
