Of seashell gems and story trends

At first, the Chronicles of the Chosen was just the same old stuff they teach every kid here. Buuut, since you probably don't know all that stuff, I'll do a quick summary for you.


So, a long time ago, the magical creatures and the people of Hexanalyn, were at war. It was very bloody, and tons of people died... Anyway, they got to a point where both sides were so devestated, that they were forced to call a truce. Turns out, the humans thought the animals were trying to destroy them, and the animals were just trying to survive!
When they realized this, they quickly came to a compromise. The creatures would give some of their magic, in the form of jewels, to the humans. In return, the humans wouldn't harm the animals, and if one was in danger, they would help.
The day the treaty was signed is now celebrated yearly, as a festival.


In a way, it's a nice story, isn't it? Happy endings and all.
For the most part, I skimmed over this. Then my eyes caught this... Interesting bit.


Supposedly, the jewels were made so that only one person, known as a Chosen, could access the full power, but anyone could use them, if needed. Unfortunately, there were some side effects.
If anyone other than the Chosen, used the jewel for a certain period of time, they would experience nausea, sudden mood swings, and in the worst cases, they might even develop another personality.


Now, remember Henry's random personality change? Looks like he's been way too close to a jewel. I smiled.
Seems like I'm finally taking a step forward.

A/N My friend and I started a manga blog, because we draw a lot of it. So please check it out!
