[b]65 Million BC (Prehistory)[/b]

Cave People dance around their fires gleefully after scavenging for food and bringing back a successful raid on the Reptites, a race of humanoid dinosaurs who wage war on the humans for supremacy. In the Tyrano Lair, Queen Azala of the Reptites prepares to send the next wave of foot soldiers upon the unsuspecting cave people. Somewhere nearby, in a small research facility, one Reptite is hard at work with inventions, concerned not with the war outside. 


[b]12,000 BC (Antiquity)[/b]

The royal family of Zeal, rulers of a seemingly utopian society, talk amongst themselves of the progress of the Ocean Palace. The family members, Janus, Schala, and Queen Zeal, consult the Prophet and the 4 Sages who serve them. 


[b]600 AD (Middle Ages)[/b]

War wages yet again, but now between Fiends and Humans. In Guardia castle, the king orders troops to go to Zenan Bridge to defend it. He turns to his Chancellor who gives a nod and says something about a house to the south west of the church being suspicious. The king then calls a knight to head there, hoping that his beloved wife will be there. In that small house, a man stands from the chair he was sitting in. He draws a Dagger from its holster at his waist. It flashes in the dim light that seeps through the window to reveal the word “Arkan” etched into it. The man, presumably Arkan, rushes out of the house and dashes into the woods, dagger held ready.


[b]1000 AD (Present)[/b]

Guardia’s Millennial Fair has just begun. Performers are doing everything from racing to throwing Boomerangs. Although some may look weird, nobody takes notice since it is common to perform dressed as a Fiend or Knight. Toward the back of the fair, a group celebrates in prehistoric style, wearing only animal hides and creating primal music. Everybody from Mercenaries to Magic Enthusiasts are here, enjoying themselves. A swordsmith peddles his wares and a fighting robot gives out silver points.


[b]2,300 AD (Future)[/b]

The land outside is barren, food is in short supply. A ragged, starving man steps into a strange machine within the metal dome he lives in. His HP and MP are restored, but he is just as hungry as before. Below him is a huge food storage, but the security system has gone haywire and kills all who try to enter.
