Long ago, before the Soul Realm had kings or laws…
There was only the Shaman Queen.
No one knew her true name.
No one knew her real face.
Because every time she appeared, her face would change—
To match your fate…
Or the face you feared the least.
Her origin? Unknown.
Her disciples? Countless, if whispers are to be believed.
But what the world remembers…
Is what she created.
The Alkaios
Seven warriors.
Seven hearts.
Seven souls bound to her—not by fear, but by love, loyalty, and purpose.
She named them The Alkaios—
A word older than language itself.
Unbreakable Strength.
They didn't just protect her.
They believed in her.
And if she asked them to die—
They would've thanked her for the honor.
The Betrayal
Then… she vanished.
No warning. No goodbye.
Gone like the wind that carried her glyphs.
One disciple remained.
Quiet. Ambitious. Always watching.
He unlocked forbidden knowledge—
And rose to power.
He became the Soul King.
But he feared the Alkaios.
Because he knew:
If even one stood against him…
His throne would crumble.
So he banished them.
Erased their names from history.
Stripped their power.
Locked them outside time.
The Banished
Now, they are remembered only by a cursed title:
The Banished.
Some disappeared.
Some searched endlessly across realms for their Queen.
But one remained.
The strongest of them all.
Not because he was left behind—
But because he chose to wait.
And the others?
They gave up what little strength they had left.
Their final light.
And turned themselves to stone.
All so the last of them could fulfill one sacred promise:
"When the Queen returns—even as a spark—
You must find her.
Protect her.
And help her open the Gate."
Only her reincarnation can pierce the veil between dimensions.
Only she can bring the Shaman Queen back…
Even if only for a single, final breath.
Now…
One Banished still lives.
And he kneels now—
Before Mira.
Her hand on his forehead.
Her eyes glowing with a power she doesn't yet understand.
He whispers:
"You've returned… just like they said."
"Forgive me for what I must do…
But the world needs you again."
