The Legend of the Guardian Heart Crystal series…

The worlds may change… but true legends never fade.

Darkness and light have constantly battled since the beginning of time. Worlds are formed and crushed beneath the feet of their creators yet the ongoing need for good and evil has never been in question.

However, sometimes a new element is thrown into the mix. The one thing that both sides want but only one can have.

Paradoxical in nature, the Guardian Heart Crystal is the one constant that both sides have always strived to attain. The crystalline stone has the power to create and destroy the known universe yet can end all suffering and strife in the same breath.

Some say the crystal has a mind of its own… others say the gods are behind it all.

Each time the crystal has appeared, regardless of the world or time, its guardians have always been ready to defend it from all who would use it selfishly. These guardians, though different in background, have always worn the same faces and loved with the same ferocity.

One girl stands in the center of these ancient guardians, the object of their affections, and she holds within her the power of the crystal itself. This is the bearer of the crystal and the source of its power. The lines, however, blur and guarding the crystal slowly changes into guarding the priestess from the other guardians.

This is the wine from which the heart of darkness drinks. It is the opportunity to make the guardians of the crystal weak and susceptible to attack. The darkness craves the power of the crystal and also the girl as a man would crave a woman.

Hence the entrance into another world where darkness is dominant within the world of light.

Within all dimensions and realities lays a secret garden known as the Heart of Time. There, a statue of a young human priestess kneels. She is surrounded by an age-old magic that keeps her secret treasure hidden and well preserved. The maiden’s hands are outstretched as if waiting for something precious to be placed in them.

Legend says that she is waiting for the powerful stone known as The Guardian Heart Crystal to return to her.

Only those who wear the crest of the Guardians know of the true secrets behind the statue and how it came into existence. Only one spirit possessed the coveted stone and she is the one true treasure. A priestess that both sides would try to claim… no matter the consequence.

The father of the five siblings, Tadamichi, and his younger brother, Hyakuhei, protected the heart of time during its darkest history. For centuries, they protected the seal that kept the human world from overlapping within the demon plagued youkai world. This task was sacred and the lives of the humans as well as demons had to be kept safe and secret from the other.

Unexpectedly, during their reign, a small band of humans accidentally crossed over into their world because of the sacred crystal. During a time of turmoil, its powers caused a rip in the seal that had separated the dimensions. The leader of the human group and Tadamichi had quickly become allies, making a pact to close the rip in the seal and keep the two worlds sealed away from each other forever.

But during that time, Hyakuhei, Tadamichi’s younger brother had fallen in love with the daughter of the human leader.

Against both of the newfound lover’s wishes, the rip had been repaired. The strength of the seal had been increased tenfold, separating the two lovers forever. Hyakuhei’s heart was shattered… Even his own blood brother, Tadamichi had betrayed him by making sure he and the priestess were separated by eternity.

Love can turn into the most wicked of things once it is lost. Hyakuhei’s broken heart turned to malicious anger and jealousy causing a battle between the two brothers, ending Tadamichi’s life and leaving his five sons to take guardianship over the seal.

The five youkai lords were born with the family crest as a symbol on the pulse point in the arc of the neck. It was in the shape of a guardian’s feather but only those with the eyes that see such things have ever witnessed the form of the hidden crest.

But one other held the family crest and knew of its secrets.

Their fathers’ younger brother Hyakuhei, whom had joined the demons within the evil realm, also bore the crest as he too had been born into the family who protected the sacred shrine.

Imprisoned within the darkness he had become, Hyakuhei cast out all thought of protecting the heart of time… instead he turned his energy toward banishing the seal completely. His long midnight locks, reaching past his knees and a face belonging only to the most seductive, belied the true evil hidden within his angelic appearance.

As the war begins between the forces of light and dark, a blinding blue light is emitted from the sanctified statue. And a young priestess, born over a thousand years into the future, accidentally steps into the mist of the war stricken land, holding The Guardian Heart Crystal within her own heart.

As the youkai lords are drawn to her and become her protectors, the battle between good and evil truly begins.

This is one of their many epic adventures…
