Inheritance and Legacy

Author's note:

I would like to explain myself with the kind of fic this is gonna be. This an AU fic and not a salt fic. (I honestly think the show works as a springboard of ideas, a little flawed, but it's not thatbad) The story behind this idea is that I originally wanted to write this concept into my original work, however, the concept itself felt like it was too similar to secret identity/magical alter ego troupes you see in manga and anime like kamichama Karin, DnAngel, etc. Not to mention it doesn't feel like it could fit within the confines of the work I've been writing for a while.

As a consequence, I shelved the thought until I read and watched a few MLB episodes and fanfics. Then I thought hey, why not just use the concept on fanfic for this. That way, I'll have fun expanding concepts from the MLB PV as well as add my own spin on it.

This fic will diverge away from the canon but I will be using Thomas Austruc's characters as a vessel for this concept.

Prologue

This was a tale told for generations. One that spanned for so long of a time that one would begin to question its own origins.

It began with an Order of temple monks, designated with the task of safekeeping a box of miraculous treasures. These treasures are vessels to the great deities of eons past. Once known to the world, the sacred treasures once served a great empire. But after its fall, the Order took matters to their own hands and hid from the world. They, who once served the empire chose to honour the deities' wishes.

For a time, the sacred treasures were only granted to those who were deemed worthy of carrying the deities' wills. And for a time, the Order of monks appointed themselves as guardians of the sacred treasures.

Then one day, tragedy struck on the Order. The temple was attacked by a band of thieves, pillaging everything in their path. The temple monks were no stranger to raids and fought back, but were overwhelmed by the raiders' weaponry.

The thieves took the box that contained the sacred treasures, leaving behind a massacre. Those who survived managed to save the miraculous of creation, one of the two most powerful of the sacred treasures. Gathering the remainder of the Order, the monks vowed to take back the sacred treasures in fear of what may come to those who abuse their powers.
