Edith

In the distant past, when the world was just being created, the Ancients built the Heavenly Palace above Sanctum Island in the Sea of ​​Hope.

The island was part of an underwater volcano. Submerged rocks and atolls were scattered around the island, and the waters nearby were often shrouded in thick sea fog, causing the wreck of many ships that ventured to pass by.

Isolated and unspoiled, the island was the ideal location for ancient wonders. The Ancients began building temples and workshops using their incredible skills and technologies. When the Heavenly Palace began to operate, the mechanisms of the temple on the island received energy waves from the palace, and thus the island on the ground began to coordinate with the palace above the sky.

Before the Endless War broke out, the Ancients attempted to control orders in the Land of Dawn. They sent Kaja and Uranus to arrest the unruly evil gods and imprison them in the Temple of Thunder on Sanctum Island, where a priestess loyal to the Ancients would lead her mecha guard "Phylax" and watch over them.

The mecha was powered by Primal Lightning, a unique magic that could control lightning with the power of the Ancients, and could only be performed by those specifically created by the Ancients. Among them are Kaja and Uranus at the top of the Heavenly Palace, as well as the priestess below on Sanctum Island.

The priestess was named Edith. She accepted the eternal youth and divine power granted by her masters and punished the prisoners with the merciless Primal Lightning. Hearing his name alone could make the most powerful evil gods cower in fear.

However, after the outbreak of the Endless War, the Ancients no longer used the Twilight Orb to seal darkness and light. Edith, the immortal Primal Warden, fell into a deep sleep as her masters disappeared.

Times have changed and survivors of the shipwreck have appeared on Sanctum Island. These poor people struggled to survive on this barren island, and many of them trudged across the island just to find scarce resources.

After a devastating earthquake, the ruins of a temple have been revealed. It was buried at the bottom of the valley and burned by lightning. While searching for metal debris, an old rag picker discovered the place, but instead found a blonde girl lying in the rubble. She could be struck by lightning at any moment!

The old man risked his life and brought the girl back to the seaside fishing village. Having been injured in the head, the girl only remembered her name: Edith. The childless old man took her in and they lived together in the small village.

Edith's adoptive father adored the girl he had miraculously found and spared no effort to take care of her. Edith could walk around the village when she didn't have to help with the household chores, but the old man had a rule: she couldn't go near the valley, he had a feeling that one day he would lose his daughter there...

When Edith was bored, she often looked up at the Heavenly Palace above: the villagers said it was the temple of the gods, and sometimes she could see strange bird-like people hovering in the sky with lightning. But every time she saw them, a strong feeling of uneasiness invaded her heart, because the past she had forgotten seemed linked to the sparks of lightning. So she always ran home and buried herself in her father's arms, calming down when the old man patted her hand.

Ten years have passed and the old man has become more fragile. The other children all grew up, except Edith who remained as young as when she was first found.

Eventually, his adoptive father was too old for physical labor. To survive, he had to break his self-imposed rule: he took Edith with him to collect metal debris from the ruins of the valley.

After searching the exterior in vain, the old man had to take the risk and enter the temple with Edith. As they sank deeper, Edith felt her memories resurface once again, and suddenly lightning struck as giant flying blades were fired at her father! Edith rushed forward and instinctively stopped the blades with her power, the blades plunging into the ground and splitting rocks with sparks of lightning.

Amidst the fire and dust, an elemental giant in golden armor appeared in front of Edith: “You have left your post, Edith!

It was... Uranus, the Guardian of the Heavenly Palace! At that precise moment, countless memories flooded Edith's mind: the Elders, the priests and priestesses, the temple, the evil gods... She screamed to dismiss the memories, but her mind was already absorbed in the past: the earthquake accidentally woke me up from my sleep, and it was the old man who raised me when I knew almost nothing...

“Die, invader!” Uranus waves its giant arm towards the old man, a series of flying blades shooting towards the ground! Quick as lightning, "Phylax" arrived as summoned and extended his powerful metal arm to catch the blades.

Edith spoke from "Phylax" the mech, "Let my father go." Uranus shouted at the mecha in front: “Traitor!

And Edith calmly replied: "Or let us fight to the death."

Among the ruins of the temple at the bottom of the valley, Edith and Uranus fought a fierce battle, roars of thunder echoing through the mountains as lightning crashed against each other, shattering stone pillars and statues.

While the two were still in a stalemate, a bird-like guardian of the Heavenly Palace, Kaja, closed its wings and descended upon the ruins, "Stop this senseless fight! The Heavenly Palace is in peril!" They looked up to the sky, and as expected, Edith could no longer feel the energy of the holy city. And soon, pieces began to fall from the sky – in the blink of an eye, the great Heavenly Palace began to collapse!

Since the fall of the palace, the temple on Sanctuary Island could no longer receive energy from above and the sealed evil gods began to flee.

Uranus ordered in a thunderous voice: "Kaja, we will stay and repair the seals!" Edith, stop the evil gods!

To this Edith replied: “I understand my duty. Let me send my father away first!

Kaja and Uranus remained in the temple valley to watch over the rest of the evil gods, while Edith drove her "Phylax" and took her adoptive father back to the village.

As Edith looked at her senile and trembling father, she could not stop the tears that ran down her cheeks. After ten years of living in a family, she was no longer the cold and heartless Primary Guardian.

I am his only child, his hope for the future. How will he continue to live if I leave now?

But the country was facing new crises due to the fall of the Heavenly Palace. Edith had to fulfill her duty as guardian and hunt down the fleeing evil gods.

Farewell, dear father! Please trust me, I will come back to you one day…

I promise!

Edith drove "Phylax" and flew to the Land of Dawn.

Later, many people in the Land of Dawn would claim to have seen a giant Mecha Guard. Whenever an evil God wreaked havoc on the world, Edith and her "Phylax" were there in an instant, punishing the dark forces mercilessly.

Between battles, the girl would break away from “Phylax” and look to the far-off northeast. On the horizon, mountains, rivers and seas, on an isolated island, an old man would also look longingly in the direction of his daughter...
