- Everything is set to die at a certain day in time. The most innocent of beings; the darkest of creatures. They all die and rot in the ground; or they’re burned. Sometimes thrown into a river to slowly be eaten away by the inhabitants of the water, or used in labs for those who want to pursue science. No matter what happens, everything dies.
But what happens if one day, something happens when that critical law stops applying to certain individuals? Certain individuals whose lives are filled with the darkest of deeds, the most blood, or worst intentions. What happens if, one day, the ones who roam the streets and fill them with blood, simply stop dying? Bullets pierce their flesh and rip through it, they’ll scream and writhe in pain and bleed, but continue living. Sickness and the ticking of times’ clock no longer apply to them. They’ve suddenly achieved what all want and strive for: immortality. But at a cost?
They’ve lost their shadows.
These shadow-less people have become what the common folk call Sinners, simply because of what they have done all their “mortal” lives. Sinners lost their shadows because they were all ruthless killers, sadistic tortures, betrayers of everything. They did the worst of the worst; stained their soul such a deep shade of black with wretchedness and cruelty that a special place in Hell was reserved for each and every one of them.
But, the Gods always had a lesson to teach when it came to messing with the creatures running about on the world they had created. Shadows were not completely lost to the Sinners, they simply became another being. Dark shape shifters of infinite powers. The Shadows are what kept the Sinners alive through sickness and age, through wounds and lost limbs. Sinners felt everything, the Shadows merely kept them alive to suffer through all eternity.
But, there was hope. There was always hope.
Three jewels were scattered across the world. A jewel for the heart; a jewel for the mind, and a jewel for the soul. A Sinner can regain their mortality and shadow once more if they can obtain all three jewels, and have truly changed in their ways. A Sinner must have a change of heart to touch the Heart Jewel; a change in mind to come near the Mind Jewel, and have come to terms with their past deeds to be in the same realm as the Soul Jewel. The jewels are also guarded each by a guardian, and each has a challenge.
The Gods are cruel and merciful, because once the Sinner is mortal again, time catches up with them.
