Midevial Europe, 1192

A master alchemist has sent out a message for males nearing the age of adulthood (10-14) to help him with his work. He promises fame and immortality for the takers and riches for the families, with the only requirement being that these four remain in servitude to him until his death. Four young men answer his call. Some do it for the sake of their families and the money they'd be able to provide. Others it's the fame that appeals to them. To some still the idea of immortality is too tempting to resist. Whatever the reason, the four say goodbye to their families and are sent to the man's castle.

That is where all of their Hell began.

They were each paired with an animal - the bat, leviathan, snake and wolf- and morphed with it, giving them amazing powers beyond their imagination as well as specific enhancements, and lasts the ability to transform into a beast related to their creature.

The bat was made into a blood thirsty demon with wings, granting him flight, night vision and the ability to use supersonic to his advantage.


The snake a gigantic serpent easily the length of three school buses with poisonous saliva and scales human blades can't so much as scratch.


The leviathan, easily the size of a ship, able to breath underwater and live on land for periods of time with hundreds of jagged dagger-like teeth, claws and scales.


The wolf became a massive beast with razor sharp claws/fangs, powerful enough to pull up trees with it's jaws, and an unrivaled ability to hunt down any prey.

These four men, now part monsters, were bound to the alchemist for ages it seemed. He helped them learn to shift into their forms and use their powers. They in turn served as his body guards, caretakers, and went on various retrieval missions for him. This went on for nearly 10 years and over that time the young men became very close and declared themselves to be Blood Brothers. However, eventually, the alchemist's health began to wain and he knew his death was fast approaching. It was on his death bed that he executed the final step in his plan:

As the four men were gathered around him, each eager to return to their families and the lives they knew before the alchemist with their new found powers, he began to speak to them. He offered them each a ring in the likeness of the creatures they could now become and asked they all put them on as a memento, saying that these would "bind them to their masters through loyalty". Thinking that he was referring to the animals as their "masters" and that this would allow them to keep their powers, they agreed and put them on.

However, the moment they did the four men's souls were trapped in the rings and they vanished, the rings clattering to the floor.

The alchemist then gathered the four rings and sealed them in a box with a puzzle without a solution, along with a note that read:
"Inside this box are Four Rings; The Wolf, The Bat, The Fish and the Snake. Each Ring is each possessed by a spirit of great power, in the likeness of their Ring, who will protect and serve their Masters' either until death or for as long as their Master wears their Ring. Beware ever removing the Ring, for the beast will otherwise have no allegiance to you. And, whatever you do, do not allow these to fall into the wrong hands - else you will be at fault for the destruction of the world."





Centuries have gone by and the box has passed through many hands, all of which have been unsuccessful in attempting to open it and with every failure to open it the legacy of the box faded until it seemed to have been forgotten entirely. Eventually, nearly 800 years later, it passed through a pawnshop and was sold to an older couple, was placed in the attic and then left there when the old couple sold their house to a group of four college girls.

These four girls have been best friends since Jr High. All four of them were kind of the "social outcasts" who never fit in with the popular crowd (it's not like they could help it that they liked anime, Disney movies and reading books! Oh well...) they found each other an became very close - even though here was an age difference between them. They've were accepted into the same college and, after a year of dorming together, they finally saved enough money to buy themselves a house to live in. It's currently summertime and they were cleaning out the house when one of them found a cool-looking box sealed shut by a puzzle. It took almost a week of working on it but they finally cracked the code and discovered that inside the box were four animal-themed rings. Naturally they each picked their favorite and, after laughing at the rather ominous note, put them on before going back to cleaning and unpacking.

Then, in the dead of night at about the same time the rings had been sealed centuries before, the seal was broken and the spirits inside the rings were released - appearing in their human forms by the bedside of their new masters (or, I guess I should say, mistresses).
