Basically a world in which to create a story between two users. Sounds like fun, huh?

Our story begins in an unnamed town, often called the "Urbs of Ago": the City of the Lives. Long ago a legend tells of a great tragedy, in which all the citizens of the town suffered a terrible fire. Several reports of the incident say that the fire was sent from the darkest pits of hell's wrath, sent to kill those who sinned and cast them into eternal damnation. Many lives were lost, hence the name.
But why this fire is so outstanding to the town's history is this: it is an island surrounded completely by water. Therefore, the witnesses of this catastrophe believed that the flames were from a source beyond our comprehension, with unconceivable power and might...
Today that town stands no better than it had before, with dingy streets made of cobblestones and brick layers, and buildings so dilapidated that they are almost uninhabitable. The adults of the town farm for their own food, for ships almost never come to the town for belief that it is haunted. The children, once they are of working age, begin to assist in their parents' work.
Some of these children, however, are rebellious and find themselves in lodged in deep mischief, for they are orphans of an unkind world...
"Hey, no fair! You cheated," a girl shouted.
"Nu uh, you just stink at this game," a boy shouted in return.
"Admit it Sion or I'll punch you!"
"I didn't do anything Lian!" he retorted.
The two children were in the outside skirts of a forest not far off from the town. There was not much foliage, as the fateful fire had burned everything to a crisp, though some had barely survived.
Supposedly it was the starting point of the fire of long ago. Therefore, it was marked as a forbidden place to everyone except the priests, which would come to exorcise the area regularly. Stories of the souls trapped in the woods were common throughout town, which lead to the panic of the people. The priests, wishing to appease them, began regular exorcisms.
Guards patrolled the area just outside of the forest's borders. However, some were stationed jus inside the perimeters of the accursed site, where the two children were having a row. Unfortunately, the two were too engrossed in their quarrel to realize they were indeed not alone.
The girl, Lian, who was of very short-tempered personality, punched the boy with all her might. She had a short stature, but a great deal of power. She also had fiery crimson locks and bluish green eyes. Her skin had a pale complexion, which reflected the light from sun.
The boy, Sion, rubbed the shoulder miserably and aimed a blow at the girl's knee, hoping to get revenge. He was a brunette with olive-green eyes and with a normal stature. His skin was also pale, but less than the girl's.
The two stopped abruptly when a mysterious cloaked figure stepped out from the woods.
