Hundreds of thousands of years ago, Gaia was a simple ball of magma and stone floating around a star. No life, no water. An uninhabitable Hell Dimension. The Spirits emerged from the Great Star and hoped to change this sole planet's fate. Each spirit claimed their own land on the planet. The Purity Spirit claimed the duty of plant life, trees, and foliage. The Water Spirit claimed the Water Cycle, which keeps Gaia in balance. The Crimson Spirit claimed the function of fleshy life and evolution. The Hallow Spirit claimed the domain of Dreams and Magic. The Sky Spirit claimed the domain of the Atmosphere and of all things that fly. The Fire Spirit claimed its place at the very top, ruling over all as a kind spirit leader, helping to channel their energies into productivity, while also claiming the domain of the planet's interior, creating the Underworld as a residential power source. The heat from the flowing magma fueled the world's mana with Hallow's help, bringing balance to the young planet and allowing for life to harness various magical techniques.

With all of the spirits working together, life sprang forth. Millions of trees grew from stone, breaking it up into sandy dirt as they lived and died, the newly created soil growing many blades of grass, flowers, and all other forms of life. Creatures like Bunnies and Snakes were cast into the world, creating their own primitive societies, and fighting eachother for land and for food. Food crops were blessed upon the newly formed Gaia, filling up fields with wild strawberries, carrots, potatos, and lettuce. The deepest valleys of Gaia were quickly filled with Water in order to sustain life, the world being sped up and the Water Cycle beginning. Storms rolled across the entirety of Gaia, filling lakes and ponds and creating vast rivers. The Hallow blessed the entire planet with an important power- the power to create and use magic artifacts, this power being called Mana. Bunnies would cast duplication spells for their lettuce, and the newly formed Human Race would use these spells to create fire and warmth, some even using them for party tricks to entertain children.

The Crimson Spirit had cast in the Bunnies and Snakes with its power over blood and flesh. The Water Spirit had cast in the oceans. The Purity Spirit had cast in the plant life and food. The Air Spirit had added the Atmosphere. The Fire Spirit had given the planet power, and with the Hallowed Spirit's help, Mana. Each spirit added something important to Gaia. Without one of them, the entire system falls apart and becomes unsustainable, like a scale being tipped to one's favor once it becomes unbalanced. The Spirits keep it in line.

Without the spirits, the World falls into chaos. This was why the Great Seal was the greatest mistake made in Gaia's history.

The spirits turned on themselves, clashing in a battle that would nearly destroy Gaia. Each creature began to grow enraged, fighting over territory, food, and simply to kill those they saw as lesser. Blood was spilled by blood, and all of the creatures that had once lived in harmony began to fixate on their spirit, fighting in a pointless war to see which spirit is the best one, a war which the Spirits were all too involved in. In an attempt to cease this pointless war, the Fire Spirit ventured into the depths of hell, attempting to seal away some of the Spirits' power in order to preserve Gaia before any damage was sustained to their creation. However, in the Fire Spirit's efforts to do this, they sealed away all of the spirit powers, binding the spirits to a Curse known as the Wall of Flesh. This wall was the great evil, created from all of the power that had been sealed away, all of the qualities in the Spirits that had caused this war. Wrath. Envy. Greed. Lust. Gluttony. Sloth. Pride. Only a worthy soul may harm this wall, anyone deemed unworthy being killed immediately by one's own weapon. If one is deemed worthy, however, the Wall will present itself only to one who has made a sacrifice.

The effects of the Great Seal were drastic, Gaia's mana being consumed at a frightening pace by each creature, casting spells simply to shed blood from other creatures in order to continue a pointless war, now over which one would bring back their power and save Gaia. Many creatures simply accepted their fate and believed there was no hope, and that Gaia would eventually die without the influence of the Spirits, some believing that they didn't require the spirits to live as they always did. But few remained optimistic, believing that if a worthy person came along, perhaps the Wall could be defeated, returning life to Gaia and returning the Spirits back to their former glory.

One could only ponder if the Spirits would learn their lesson from almost destroying their beloved creation.
