Chapter 1- Broken Alliance

The sun shines bright over the land of Aetheria. The light reflects off the shiny crystal structures of the Crystal City, Zergonia. The citizens were moving hastily as it was a special day. The King of Crystals, Veyron will form an alliance with the King of Iron and the King of the Floating City. 

The citizens were busy with the preparations. They worked on the decorations, the banquet and they even started polishing their crystal structures. The soldiers stood in their assigned positions carrying crystal weapons. The king was in his room getting dressed. 

The afternoon passed and evening came. The King of Iron, Caion Speare arrived with his entourage consisting of his advisers and his royal guard. King Veyron stood along side with the King of the Floating City, King Feyone and his royal guard as they waited for the arrival of King Caion. 

They sat down on their respected seats as the signing of the peace treaties was about to begin. They stood at the sound of the explosion behind them. They turned their heads as their guards sprang into action. Rays of orange light shot from the sky. The rays exploded when they came in contact with anything. The crystal structures were in flames. The citizens fell to ground. It was in total chaos. 

"Who would be foolish enough to try and sabotage the forming of our alliance." said King Veyron. 

The two kings exchanged looks and then looked towards him and said in unison. "The Founding Families!" 

"They have always had hatred towards us for stealing what was theirs." said King Caion.

King Feyone nodded. "We have to get out of here. It is not safe here." The king said as he started walking away. 

"No, Feyone! We must..." King Veyron was saying as he was interrupted by the explosion. King Feyone lied on the ground motionless and was singed from the explosion. King Feyone's royal guards were annihilated. King Caion and King Veyron ran into the tunnel entrances. 

They hid there for hours and waited for dawn to come. They came out of hiding to see that the Crystal City was no more. They rode on horse back to the Iron City only to find that the city was reduced to ashes. 

After two months after the incident they have rebuilt the city into a stronger and bigger one. The two kings have rebuilt the former Crystal and Iron City into the City of Blood, Slytte. 

And the hunt for the members of the Founding Families begins now.
