The Origin of the Dark Realm

"Those rogues and that spell are from the Dark realm. All of them were Dark realm magicians, not rogues." Mr. L said.

Kai asked, "If they are from the Dark realm, what were they doing here?" Kai's curiosity had reached its peak.

Mr. L responded, "They are looking for the same thing you are looking, Kai."

Simon murmured, "Eclipse Arcana." he continued, "They were looking for Eclipse Arcana..."

"What is this Eclipse Arcana? And why Dark realm magicians are coming into our realm to find it?" Kai asked.

"Follow us," Mr. L said.

As Mr. L said, he stood up from the chair and began to walk away from Kai. Kai first grabbed both of his masks and began to follow Mr. L with Simon accompanying him. Both of them were following Mr. L at a close distance as they traveled through countless aisles.

Mr. L took Kai and Simon to a quiet and bright room of Eldritch Menagerie. This room is too bright for Spellhounds to even come near it. The room was filled with scrolls and books. Mr. L created a table with three chairs in the middle of the room and said, "This place is more secure to talk about Eclipse Arcana." 

"Come sit, Kai," Mr. L said. 

Kai and Simon both sat next to each other while Mr. L sat across the table. Mr. L said, "Kai before we tell you anything about Eclipse Arcana. You must know who created it, what it can do, and what is the Dark realm."

Mr. L began, "Kai, in a reality which we live in consists of three realms. Our realm is also known as Astra. Dark realm, and finally, the Spirit realm in which all of our souls are departed after our death for afterlife. This is the rule of our reality, and it also applies to everyone in the Dark realm." 

Mr. Z said, "He already knows about that. Just get to the point."

Mr. L said, "Kai, did you ever wonder why we call the Dark realm the Dark realm?" Mr. L flicked his finger as he flicked them. Two maps materialize on the table before Kai.

Both of the maps were completely identical. Not a single thing was setting them apart. "Kai, the map you see on your left is of Astra. The map on the right is of the Dark realm."

Before Mr. L could continue, Kai interfered and said, "You have been preparing to tell me about this. You knew I would come and ask you about Eclipse Arcana."

Mr. L responds to Kai with a smile, "Kai, we are the Watchers. We know the future and the past." He continued, "We knew you would come here today, and we couldn't talk you out of this."

"Now, let's continue," Mr. L began. "Thousands of years ago, the Dark Realm was just like ours. It was a peaceful world filled with happiness. Until the fairies showed themselves Fairies who are the sole guardians of all the realms."

"What did they do?" Kai asked.

Mr. L began, "Kai before the fairies showed themselves in our realm and the Dark realm. Both had countless wars with each race that has ever lived. Humans, Scorcehers, Dragons, everyone trying to prove to each other. Who is the superior. As a result of that war, some kinds almost went extinct. Some are still recovering from those wars till to this day."

Mr. Z took over and said, "Then the fairies arrive from the Spirit realm trying to save every race from extinction, but no one listened to them. Everyone wanted to prove they were superior to others. But the Fairies didn't give up. They returned to the Spirit realm and created two most powerful weapons to protect their realms."

Mr. Z flicks his fingers, and the maps disappear, but two visuals appear in the middle of the table. One of them was the Eternal Blade, and the other one was a round stone Talisman.

Kai observed the Talisman briefly and said, "It has the same symbols as the Eternal Blade."

"Yes, Kai, both the Talisman and the Eternal Blade were created by the Fairies," Mr. Z continued, "The Talisman you see is no ordinary stone. It is the Eclipse Arcana. Both weapons were created to protect the realms."

Mr. L took over and said, "Fairies then chose a savior from each realm to use their weapons and trusted them to return it after the war is over."

Kai interpreted and asked, "If fairies were so strong, then why didn't they weapons themselves? Why choose a savior?"

"Kai, Fairies are strong, there's no doubt about that, but they are too kind. For example, take Luna. Tell me how many times she stopped you or stepped in your way to stop you from fighting." Mr. L continued, "Despite not knowing her past, Luna always wants everyone to be happy around her. Violence is just not in their nature."

"So, what happened after that?" Kai asks, after understanding about Fairy's nature.

Mr. L began, " The Savior who was trusted with the Eternal Blade. Used its power wisely and stopped the war between every race. And as promised, he returned the Eternal Blade to the Fairies." Mr. L continued, "But on the other hand. The man who was trusted with Eclipse Arcana did not only ruthlessly murder every race except humans. He also....." Mr. L hesitated,

Kai asks, "What did he do?"

Mr. Z took over and said, "I'll continue. He also killed the Fairy who was sent to retrieve Eclipse Arcana." Mr. Z continued, "That's what they get for trusting someone with that power."

Mr. L took over and said, "Kai, killing a fairy is a sin. That man not only doomed his entire life but the entire realm was cursed. As soon as the blood of the Fairy touched the soil of that realm. Since that day, the sun has never risen in that realm. That is the origin of the Dark realm."

"That's why everyone called that realm the Dark realm." Mr. L stated.

"So, what's the other end of this tale." Kai continued, "You have told me the origin of the Dark realm and the Eclipse Arcana. But you didn't tell me why Eclipse Arcana is here? And why Dark Realm magicians are coming here to retrieve it?"
