#mcd lore

In my world building I have Tu'la seperated into two kingdoms, North and South Tu'la, with each being represented by there own specific big cat. North Tu'la is represented by Tigers and Sout Tu'la is represented by Lions, with both kingdoms adopting features from the cats.

I am going into a long post so a keep reading is in place for ease

me: *trying to come up with Magick Users Lore*

me: *remembers that Zoey once introduced herself as a fairy before she became an elf*

me:,,,,,humans used to be fairies. Elves and Fairies lived amongst one another (along with the other mythicals) until something happened that resulted in a group of fairies losing their wings but not their magic.

me: these wingless fairies did eventually start losing their magic though, as generations went on and their numbers grew, their magic began to dwindle. they eventually lost their magic identifiers -- pointed ears, sharp teeth, etc -- until they became known as modern day humans.

me: the fairies that didn't lose their wings eventually went into permanent hiding due to being hunted down by humans and wingless fairies (later to be known as magick users).

me: they were being hunted because the wingless fairies/humans believed that they could regain their wings (or their magick) if they ripped the wings off the fairies/consumed them/stole their magick.

me: there are little to no written records of fairies, and the ones that do exist are held in the yggdrasil forest where humans cannot find them. nobody knows where the surviving fairies are because their locations weren't written down, and the elves that did know have long since passed and/or disappeared.

like when aphmau has these episodes where she would see glimpses of irenes life. thats sort of like a way that irene is contacting aphmau with guidance (except it isnt very helpful because it leaves aph more confused..).

each original warrior has a different way of contacting whoever possesses their relic currently, with straightforwardness or cryptically. (like irene does it through glimpses of memories and speaking to aphmau directly).. and possibly it isnt just the Divine warriors who are contacting the current user, its any of the previous users giving guidance. (having the idea that the relic was passed down through many generations and was inherited by multiple people). but that would be extreemely chaotic from the inside.

it sounds like it would happen often, but it does NOT. communication between past warriors to the current hosts is never consistent. it could happen one day, then happen again in three days, then never again for seven years. and it HEAVILY weighs on whats going on in the world that needs attention to. this actually ties into my theory that the relics are predictive but ill explain that later..

just imagine, how its often portrayed in fantasy shows with generationally passed down magical items, theres a room within the relic, thats honestly more like some mindscape with the mcd relics, that is filled with the spirits of the past warriors of that specific relic. BUT this instance would be even more rare for a future relic wielder to be able to see, seeing as even just getting a slight nudge in some direction by previous warriors was rare, itd be ever more rare to be pulled into some mindscape filled with all warriors previous to the relic. mega rare. why its rare for this contact will also be explained later.

however this is not rare for aphmau because, well, shes irene, irenes the MATRON. irene kind of started the whole relic bizz, also aphmau is the first rebirth/resurgence of irene. alsoo they are in a dire situation with shad trying to come back, so obviously irenes taking any chance she possibly can to contact aphmau (through memories or speaking to her) without exploding aphmau in the mental and emotional department.

moving on bc idk what else to say

communication from the Divine Warriors to the current wielders of the relics was super rare probably due to their belief of the relics being almost a “freedom of use” with future wielders. they had faith in not only the person carrying the relic but the relic itself. the divine would not intervene in any course of action that a future warrior might place themself into, unless it would, by chance, tragically alter the universe or anything equivalent to that. even with it being canonically said how there were relic holders that were inherently evil and would use the relics power with malice, they would not interfere. they also did not intervene with warriors affairs probably for the belief that everything plays out for the advantageous prosperity of the future. they thought the relic to bring balance to the world, not destroy it, no matter who wielded the relic, or how it was used. additionally, they believed that the relics were above them, and were an entity itself.*

*these beliefs were more like personal beliefs. half of the divine would believe this, that the relics were entities and that the relics were made for balance restoration, but the other half just vowed not to intervene in anything for other reasons. restoring balance is also more of a lifetime thing, it would take decades for restoration. war doesnt get resolved in three days after all. perhaps esmund was one of those believers and thats why he dared not to intervene when zane had the protectors relic and wasnt really doing anything,, good, with it. and not when it was pulled from him, or absorbed by garroth… cuz he believed the relic had some wayward path or some shit..

but like i said, communication was very rare, even in scenarios where there was a tough decision and youd think some divine would reach out with advice.** but the first hint of communication, if any, always gives false hope for a second one.

**if you take ep27, at 16 minutes, when irene stops the guards from beating up Lo by possessing aphmau,, more than likely a situation like that would not be intervened by guidance of another warriors possession of their own relics host. but like i said, its a little different for irene because aphmau is her first resurgence.

for the predictive relics explanation.

i believe, because the relics were forged by irene against the fates, the relics have some sort of “predictive” ability. this idea stems from, not only the fact that the FATES were against the creation of the relics, but for the time period of which the relics come in use. it seems to become active again*4 just before tragedy.

the relics first come into play when irene creates them, and gives them to each divine warrior. she seemed almost distressed explaining how she needed help and “could only hold back the emptiness for so long.” the emptiness is what threatened their world at the time. (personally not sure what the emptiness was but it was bad). now what threatens the world is Shad. shads resurgence is unbalancing the world once more, and the relics are active again. not only shad but Tu’la taking over too.

and the problem is not about Shads coming back, its not really shad himself, its about his intention. like, pretty sure he wants irene dead, and i dont remember what else, probably take over the world,, idfk,,.

i really dont know how to explain it, but its like the relics are some intervention between Shad and his-opinion-of-victory. if there is no intervention, theres a possibility that shad could alter the line between realms. if the relics are not active to stop shad, shad gets what he wants, and causes unbalance.

the predictive part is the timing in which Irene was resurged,, as aphmau. the timing of when aphmau was woken, to her time in phoenix drop, to fifteen years in irenes dimension, to the three year time skip, and shad no longer being dormant, is all tied to the predictive timing of the relics awakening. so by the time shad and irene formally face-off is when irene will be at her strongest… maybe..

*4 when i say the relics become “active again” its because i think that the relics are abeyant for lifetimes until a moment strikes up that could shift worldly balance. the relics purpose is to maintain balance between realms sort of. i have no expansion on that. also i wanna say that all of the relics dont awaken at the same time. as of season three, we only know about the protector, the keeper, the destroyer, and of course the matron relics. not of the others. and with the divine warriors being from different areas of the world (regions didnt exist back then) it can be thought that they had family in their home town right? or perhaps the other relics have remained dormant because it hasnt made any connection with people.. 

honestly, if all of the relics are active at the same time, its safe to say that the world is on the verge of collapsing.

this went from me saying “haha thatd be cool” to me just losing my mind. if any of this turns incoherent and ive lost , any of which who has read this far , ask questions ? half of this is based off of stuff that happened in episodes and the rest is something i pulled blindly from my mind, and started piecing together like it was literally canon..
