Gaia: I see! You want to learn about their origins and why we need them, right? Welp, I'll try my best to summarise it.... A long long time ago, a huge star almost the size of a supermassive galaxy, exploded so violently that the entire universe was blown apart by its sheer strength. It was caused by an imbalance of elemental particles; too much dark and not enough light. As a result, the elements dualised inside the star's iron core and as a result the iron core weakened, succumbing to the pressure and as a result the star imploded, wiping out any life that may have been alive at the time...all except for one. These elitists understood the imbalance of such an occurrence and created a method to halter any future stars from growing to that size in the first place. These 5-pointed shaped energy objects would contain the pure particles of a certain molecular substance which was an important part of...well...creating and sustaining life. As our solar system formed, these elitists duplicated billions and billions of these stars entirely by hand, and once they found a planet which had the capabilities of creating life (in the goldilocks zone, surface temperature was between 0-100 degrees celsius etc) they would then unleash 7 of these powerful objects in the form of meteors into the planet's atmosphere, and let the stars balance the energy distribution on the planet. The 8th star, Aether, which was distributed in the ratio of 1 Aether star:1 galaxy, is located somewhere near the center of the galaxy...on a small rock suspended in the middle of space. But, because there were so many planets and very little stars, only a handful of planets were given these stars. And we were lucky enough to be one of those planets that happened to host these stars! These stars are so rare and so powerful that many life forms who have heard of them wish to use them for their own desires. The problem is, if one of these stars are taken from their given planets they will unleash their energy and all havoc will break loose throughout the galaxy. This Nox-guy has been around for almost 4,000 years now, attempting to steal them, but we managed to seal him up somewhere and we hid the stars so that nobody could reach them. But, sometime last year, when a load of weird comets fell onto our planet, this seal broke and he became free. Do you remember that weird ring that protected anyone from accessing the Sakuradai Archipelago? That was just the beginning of the end. If the Earth star was to be absorbed, its control over rocks and the Earth's rock system would, quite literally "capsize" and Earth would start to go crazy and possibly crash into another planet. But, if we gather all the stars we can seal Nox again and restore peace to our planet! I hope that's a good enough explanation for you. Feel free to ask me another question; I'm happy to answer all of them!
