---------- 

In the Ancient Times, Ignis, the Goddess of Fire, and Abyssos, the Lord of the Tides, ruled in unity until betrayal shattered their bond. Abyssos, fearing the unrelenting spread of fire, extinguished Ignis’s eternal flame. Enraged, she struck back, imprisoning him beneath the island’s depths, sealing the tides away. She knew that if his treacherous rule were to continue, he would flood the world, drowning all material life in his wake.

Now, a mighty volcano stands as both prison and warning, hidden deep within the vast ocean, far beyond the reach of humankind. For centuries, the island remained untouched, a land of uneasy balance. The volcano roared above, the tides whispered below, and fire and water coexisted in a fragile truce.

But the world is changing. The skies darken, the waters churn, and the flames flicker with fury. The balance has been broken. Abyssos stirs, clawing against the walls of his eternal prison. The spirits of fire and water, once bound in harmony, now rise as bitter enemies.

Now, both gods call upon their devoted spirits to break the stalemate. To awaken their deity, each side must harness the mountain’s power—crafting enchanted orbs from its sacred gems and offering them as tributes of strength. But this is more than a race; it is a war. Each side must sabotage the other, weakening their rival’s hold on the mountain, disrupting their rituals, and delaying their god’s return.

The time is now. The final battle begins. Will fire reclaim its rightful throne, or will the tides rise to swallow the world?
