Eight crystals containing the powers of the eight different elements that make up our world were the prized possessions of the Grigori, or the fallen angels of Heaven. These crystals were destined to be for the young people who would champion the cause of restoring the Grigori's place in Heaven, after they were cast out in a bloody civil war.
This was how it would have been, if the Grigori hadn't been hunted and killed by Cruxis, the angelic organization that had expelled the Grigori from Heaven. For the last several millennia, Cruxis deemed it necessary to annihilate the Grigori for their crimes against Heaven. The organization sent its angels scouring Earth for the Grigori and in the first few decades of this conquest, the Grigori's numbers were decimated.
In order to keep up their strength in numbers, the remaining survivors banded together. They sacrificed some of their divine abilities in order to blend in with the growing human population. After teaching learning from the humans, as well as teaching them some of the Grigori ways, they had established a permanent settlement of their own in hopes of finding and training the Eight Champions of Heaven to fight the army of Cruxis.
That plan also went awry. Spies infiltrated the settlement and all those within it were massacred. Cruxis left the smoldering remains of the city, believing their plans
had been fulfilled.
What the agenst did not know was that a small troupe of scouts seraching for the humans had left the compound for the day. When they came home to their city, they were astonished and burdened with grief to find it razed and burnt to the ground. the bodies of their friends and families were reduced to the shards of Life Light that they had begun from and left to die out.
The only thing left intact was the sacred box that held the crystals. But the case had been opened and most of the gems in the box were missing, obvioulsy stolen or taken by wild animals. Before leaving, the final Grigori took the rest of the crystals away with them. They intended to find the humans that would bond with them and bring them back to Heaven.
