(Morrison): Tristian, Ingrid, Aitanna, Malakai, Faye, Paige, Allister, and Caito. These eight names are known throughout the world far and wide from adults to children. Because these are the names of the eight warriors who once saved the world. Centuries ago the Eclipses once had a leader dubbed Perro, the king of the Eclipses. It was through him that Eclipses united and sought to destroy the world and everyone in it. This resulted in a war with the fate of the world on the line. Despite humanity’s best efforts, they were slowly losing the war. Towns and cities were destroyed, many lives were lost, and people sought shelter in the fortresses we now call kingdoms. However, there were eight warriors who rose up and turned the tide of battle in favor of humanity. Now they weren’t chosen warriors prophesized in legends. Far from it. They were just skilled fighters who enjoyed traveling and working with each other. In their minds they weren’t trying to become heroes, they were just individuals who saw the state of the world and knew they had to do something to help. While the war against the Eclipses had many heroes, none stood out more than these eight. They took out the most Eclipses, secured important victories in the war and in the end they were the ones who defeated Perro. While Perro’s defeat didn’t destroy all of the Eclipses it greatly weakened them as the loss of their leader left them without a commander and they were either killed or quickly scattered to be hunted down. It was a crushing blow to the Eclipses and showed them that this world belonged to us. After the war these eight were called the Legendary Heroes and their names became etched in humanity’s history for eternity. After the war the eight each settled into different roles that would go on to help others. While some have long since passed away there are a few who are still alive and continue to help and lead others. Giving inspiration to young knights and warriors who wish to follow in their footsteps and protect the world.
