The World of War of the Wings

I want to tell you a tragic story,

one that will make you hate being human.

Once There Was Only Man

Unchallenged they inhabited every corner of the world

Populating every corner of the land they devoured like locusts. They tried in vain to sate their endless greed.

Their insatiable appetite however stretched too far and a terrible punishment was awakened.

The Flesh Feaster

A hungry plague that striped the very skin from its victims bones.

Leading to an unfathomably painful degradation.

Then closely stalked by a death far too slow to be merciful.

The Church of Unity

The unchallenged Theocratic church of the Unifier was unable to provide alleviation for their quickly dwindling flock.

Instead they chose to blame their short comings on any scapegoat they could conjure.

Yet, there are only so many witches you can burn, or babies you can drown before hope is lost.

The Hopeless Dying Masses

Finally Unity implored their flocks to prey to their divine to elevate them from the terrible disease would stop spreading like wild fire through dry brush.

Eventually, their prays where answered.

The First of the Sky Weepers

No one knew where the tens of thousands of featureless winged beings had come from as they descended from the sky.

All they knew was they migrated across the land healing those infected by The Flesh Feaster.

Then They Changed

The strange otherworldly beings began to take on the appearance of the young women that had succumb to The Flesh Feaster.

They were near indistinguishable from those they took the faces of. They inherited their names, mannerisms and varying degrees of memories. Though what distinguished them were those terribly magnificent violet burning eyes.

As The Flesh Feaster was purged the beings that came to known as Cherels where hailed as saviors by most.

There were those however, that where suspicious of them.

The Envious Shepherds

The church of Unity that where impotent to stop The Flesh Feaster believed that Cherels where not sent by their Devine Unifier. Rather they were birthed from the womb of the evil Defiler.

It was decided that the abominations masquerading as perished beauties should be rounded up and purged.

Those Killed Were the Fortunate

The saviors of humanity where kidnapped and held in the darkest dungeons of Unity.

They where subjected to the most wicked torture mankind could offer. Beaten, starved and worst of all their wings where sheared from their bodies.

Just like the hopeless humans before them they wailed into the darkness. Preying for alleviation.

Just like humanity before them, they where answered.

SALVATION DECENDED

A magnificent Cherel descended on six sets of wings from the sky.

Though unlike her predecessors, she did not bring salvation. She brought vengeance.

The being that wielded devastating power known by humans as the Golden Harbenger and by Cherel kind as Mother raised an undefeatable army.

She rallied all Cherel kind to her with the intention to rescue their imprisoned sisters and annihilate their oppressors.

The War of the Wings

The Mother declared war on Unity and was met with overwhelming scores of fanatics. Indoctrinated to her children where abominations.

Though no matter how creative their cruelty. The crude methods of humanity where no match for the power, divine weapons and unbreachable armor of their near indestructible foe.

After countless devastating defeats the church of Unity saw their imminent demise and grew despite. They where no match for Cherel kind and their Golden Harbinger.

Yet, cunning is humanities greatest weapons.

One Last Play

While Unity had no hope of beating their divine opponents, they still had their lost sisters locked within their dark dungeons.

“The executioners noose shall remain empty, if we can come to an agreement”.

So they did.

The Worst Price to Pay

Both sides came to an accord to end the war and release the imprisoned Cherel’s.

The price to pay for peace was for all Cherel’s to give up what was most precious to them. To have their wings cut off and become Clipped.

A Terrible Sight Awaited Them

Their returned sisters had been mangled.

The cruelty of Unity had turned them into monsters.

Cherel kind turned their faces away to the creatures that once resembled their kin.

The Wayward Mother

The Mother of Cherel kind disappeared after the once beautiful broken monsters had been released and given their own charge.

She has not been seen since.

An Endless Journey

Sisters tuned to monsters, the loss of their mother and an eternal life among people that hate them.

Yet the worst was Cherel kind having their wings removed.

They have never stopped searching for what they lost.

So ended the War of the Wings and the beginning of Cherel kinds eternal suffering.
