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. She 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 craves the girl as a man would crave a woman. 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. This time, however, the lines start to blur and overlap… merging two universes in a single timeline. The stories are the same yet different outcomes result in hearts changing… therefore altering the destinies set. Dreams become reality and reality becomes dreams. Eventually it is hard to tell the difference between the two. What is real and what is not? Hyakuhei’s darkness begins a battle within itself, the true guardian striving to be heard amongst the screams tearing apart his soul. A young priestess places herself, both body and soul, on the line with only her heart and the Guardian Heart Crystal to guide her. Secrets are kept and true hearts are hidden beneath layers of ice and wickedness. Once more the battle between good and evil begins anew… sending the destinies of those involved into chaos. Two Guardians battle their own hearts as well as each other to protect the priestess. She is the center of their world and each seeks to make her what she was meant to be… a Guardian’s Possession. less
