The world of Cirrus is an unusual planet orbiting around a sun and a large star that generates it’s own heat source. Because of this, Most of Cirrus is desert. Living on Cirrus are creatures that range from mere humans to angelic angels.
The continent of Shuroch is 95% desert with only 4% lush green lands and 1% water. On the North of Shuroch, is a Kingdom of animal people called Shunau. The sacred of Shunau were that of the silver people, especially the fox’s that were said to be extinct.
When Shunau are born, they instinctively listen out for a voice. A voice, which one-day becomes their life mate. It is rare for a male or female to hear a voice belonging to either the same sex or of a different species all together.
It is said that if a human and a Shunau fall in love with each other, they are blessed to be together forever.
Another creature to inhabit Shuroch is of course, humans. But also, for the North of the continent, close to the valley kingdom of the Silver Shunau, in the swamps and barren lands, dwell the giant worms and a vicious breed of Mantye known as the Ghastly Mantis, cousins of the Giga Mantis.
The giant worms such as the Swamp Worms and Neural Worms are large parasitic creatures that are as thick as a block of flats and twice the length with razor sharp teeth counting a hundred for each row of four, The Neural Worms have eyes all over their bodies, so sneaking up on one will offer you a quick death.
Ghastly Mantis’ are vicious insectoids that will eat even their own young if there is no food. They occasionally are found preying on small Neural and Swamp Worms but when winter comes, they are seen migrating and colonising close to human towns to hunt and feed on unwary humans.
It is a simple to travel from one side of Shuroch to the other by using the Steam train. There is only one and it takes roughly six months to travel from the East of Shuroch to the West. The train begins from the far west all the way to the east, where the capital city is. The capital is where the great library can be found.
The cost of a train ticket varies, depending on how many want to travel, the age of a singular person and how far you want to go. For a single person, travelling on the train from east to west or vice versa will cost you around 5000Gin. That’s around 80Gin and 65Bots for the 62 stops.
The great library is an enormous building about the size of a palace filled with books, tomes, and scriptures that hold everything ever written from simple stories to historical events such as the war known as the “Angel Reign”.
The Angel Rein war began thousands of years ago. At that time, the old rulers of Cirrus, who were the Lord of the Dark Cult and the Lady of the Holy Grace. The Dark Cult were angles with Black hair and wings who also wear black clothes and the Angel Grace were angels with blond hair and white wings and who also wears white clothes.
The war started because the Lord and Lady died of a rare illness that affected only the angels and after that, both clans started to argue as to who got to rule so that’s when the two clans separated from each other and started to live apart from each other. The mountains that the two clans live upon, holds the alters of two crystals that bring life to Cirrus. The Dark stone found on the alter of the Storm mounting, and the Light stone found on the alter of Snow mountain.
The famous of angels were brothers Archix, a Dark Cult and Lairix, a Holy Grace. They were brought together by the war and stopped the war by slaying the leaders of both clans. Now, both Archix and Lairix rule over Cirrus, protecting the Light and Dark stones that are said to hold the balance of mankind and to all who live on Cirrus.
The Dark Cult are said to live far south, deep in Storm Mountain. Their neighbours consist of the Black wolf demon clan and Dark Elves.
The Holy Grace live far north, deep in Snow Mountain. Their neighbours are the White Wolf demon clan and Elves.
The Holy Grace and Dark Cult fighting styles are split up into 3 areas. The first style is hand-to-hand combat. The second style is weaponry and the third style is Psychic/Aura powers. Archix and Lairix both have mastered the weaponry fighting style. Archix uses two double barrel handguns and Lairix uses a magic longbow. The leaders of the two clans have mastered the third style; Aura and Psychic powers. A few people have learned that a Dark Cult can give birth to an Angel Grace and vice versa. When that happens, the elders of the clans will send the baby to new parents in the opposing clan.
Lairix and Archix are brothers, but they were born as a dark Cult (Archix) and an Angel Grace (Lairix). It was thanks to the war that they found each other and decided after a long time fighting each other to decide to stop the pointless war for good.
The white wolf demons are smaller in comparison to the black wolves but their powers match them equally. The famous of Black wolves is the outcast, Daemon, the strongest of the black wolf clan. His human form is said to be quite tall, roughly 6 foot, with raven black hair and bluest of blue eyes.
He can always be seen wearing a black leather jacket with white fur trimmed collar, black shirt, black leather trousers and black boots. Legend has it that Daemon has lived for many years but has never lost his 19-year-old appearance. It was said that he committed such heinous crimes that he is to be sentenced to death when captured. In truth, he is innocent and is travelling in search for the truth.
Somewhere on Cirrus, is a continent made out of Caverns and crevasses filled with magma. On the land, surrounding the underground magma channels are the Jewel kingdoms. Six individual kingdoms ruled by the guardians of Cirrus. The kingdoms are Amethyst Kingdom, ruled by the Amethyst guardian who has hair and wings the colour of Amethyst and who knows more about working together than anyone else alive, Ruby Kingdom, ruled by the Ruby guardian with hair and wings the colour of Rubies and Sapphire Kingdom, ruled by the Sapphire guardian who has hair and wings the colour of Sapphire and who have vowed eternal loyalty to Amethyst, Ebony Kingdom, ruled by the Ebony guardian with hair and wings the colour of Ebony and Ivory Kingdom, ruled by the Ivory guardian who has hair and wings the colour of Ivory; these two kingdoms are warring kingdoms who have fought each other for many years and only work together when called for help by Amethyst. The last kingdom is the legendary Emerald Kingdom, ruled by the Emerald guardian with hair and wings the colour of emerald. He is also an eternal friend to Amethyst.
In the centre of the Jewel kingdoms, is a giant lake known as Methane Lake. It is a large city sized lake filled with Methane polluted water. It is very beautiful and a few species of water creatures live in it, but the people who live on the continent avoid it because of the magma caverns below the lake.
The jewel guardians have an attack called Chrysalis, where they encase themselves in a thick shell of crystal (colour depending on guardian) and launches themselves at the enemy, teleporting out of the Chrysalis before impact. The Amethyst guardian is the only one to use the Chrysalis for barrage attacks where he flies into the enemy still inside the Chrysalis.
South of Amethyst are ruins of an ancient kingdom called Moonstone. Even now, no one knows how Moonstone was destroyed.

- It's a neat concept but you should really work on sentence and paragraph structure. You have a good imagination, just gotta work on them technical skills. Keep writing!
