The Greek warrior, Bellerophon, with the aid of heaven’s exiled blacksmith, created the five conscious Crystals from granular specks of dust stolen from paradise. The Crystals were once nearly united.
“But Vesuvius exploded, and many died that day including Bellerophon, whose restless spirit was sent to wander alone on the Aleian plane.’
