Prologue

Far from the busy world, there was an unknown country. This country was different, it wasn’t like the usual country. From the technology, this country was far better than the other country. Things those should only exist in stories could be seen here. This country ruled by a king. Only people who has pure-blood from the family can rule the kingdom. That was a short story about Primera, a country of living.

It had said earlier that this country was different from other country in this world. The difference was not only from the government or technology or the citizen. Primera keeps a thing that control the life of humans. This thing seems like nothing but it’s really important, not only for Primera but also the world. Because of this thing, human can live peacefully with a friendly environment. Many battles occurred some years before, but until now humans still able live safe and sound. This thing is like a key. It’s called Zoi Dentro, a tree of living, the key of life.

Though Zoi Dentro could save the world, battles still couldn’t be avoided. Long time ago, many countries attacked Primera so they could have Zoi Dentro and rule the world just as how they wanted. Many kings of Primera joined the battles to kept Zoi Dentro and the cities safe. They fought with all they have, together with their soldiers that called Stratiotis.

Zoi Dentro located in the middle of Primera, where the palace built. It’s located in Clavis. The place where the king and his family live. Zoi Dentro stood bravely in the center of Centricos, the capital city of Primera. Stratiotis surround it every time to make sure it’s safe. They wouldn’t let the key of the world destroyed so easily.

Zoi Dentro is not only a big tree in the middle of a yard full of grass and flowers, or a tree in a savanna. Former kings who died were buried around Zoi Dentro. Once they died, their spirits would integrate with Zoi Dentro. They become its strength and keep it safe from inside, while the Stratiotis keep it safe from outside.

Only pure-blood of Primera family could control of the tree, but that was not always happen. Only people with huge heart and determination of helping people and keeping them safe could get the chance to fight with Zoi Dentro and the spirits of the kings who passed away, that’s mean they can have full control of the tree. Zoi Dentro knows exactly the heart of people who asked for its help. It knows well which is the right person with a real heart.

For someone who finally got a full trust from the tree. The tree will give them its power. It will give them 9 swords. The swords are Japanese type called katana. These 9 swords have different names and powers. Hi for wild fire. Mizu for calm water. Kaze for blowing wind. Yuki for the beautiful snow. Kaminari for the unpredictable thunder. Kojo for the living plant. Kage for the dark shadow. Hikari for the shining light. And Hana for the dancing flowers.
