Fiction:Elemental Sentinels

The Elemental Sentinels are a curious group of nine timeless individuals who have taken on the mantle of guarding the energies of the elemental forces that compose the whole of existance. Each sentinel guards its corresponding element: Fire, Water, Stone, Thunder, Light, Darkness, Ice, Moon, and Spirit. Each sentinel is bound to a stone that resonates and channels their respective elemental energies. These mystical stones are known as the Elemental Gemstones.

Origins
Little is known as to how, when, or where these beings came from, some say they were created at the dawn of time, while others believe of them to be a myth, and that elemental powers don't exist. But there is proof that such powers do indeed exist, the obvious proof is the ability a few selected sapient races have of being able to harness the power of a single element, and using this power offensively or defensively.

It is believed that these sentinels originated from the ancient Geris race, a species of highly intelligent bird-like people who at one time attained a god-like level of technology, before their civilization collapsed into extinction countless aeons ago. Reported sightings of these sentinels have confimed that they do indeed bear an uncanny resemblance to the extinct avian race. Excavation at several ruin sites of their civilization revealed small fragmented recordings of their bid to control the forces of the elements, crystalizing their energies into mid-sized gemstones. Little is known as to what happened after this, but many scientists and archaeologists suspect that this attempt led to their downfall.

Sentinels and the Elements
While small pockets of the Geris, as a people, still exist to present day, they severely lack the hyper-advanced technologies of their ancient ancestors for unknown reasons. However, the spiritual sentinels have been known to appear before certain individuals and converse with them. From what has been told, they have full recollection of their past lives and the secrets of their people, but refrain from telling.
