Helios Eclipse

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Know these words, and heed them.
For when the sun rises,
when the light of hope shines brightest,
So shall the shadows cast grow deeper and darker.

When joy and despair arise entwined
Shall there ne'er be a greater portent of disaster.

When the elements fall out of order
The sun's light shall die.

But though you walk in darkness,
Know that with our hands
Ever firmly clasp'd together
We shall not lose our way.

So shall the search for future's light begin.

There are two worlds that exist, the Magic World and The Human World. All elements in both worlds have been controlled by the Sun Ruler, Helios. In the past, Helios was skeptical on why he needs to protect the human world. So he and his brother, Luna went to the human world to see what the human world is like. With the horror of seeing the human world becoming terrible with modern technology, odd cultures, pollution and rude manners, Helios could not believe he was actually protecting it. Soon he encountered a child being accused of stealing. Helios rescued the child and found a wallet on the floor which was actually stolen. Then when they met with the child and his friends again, Helios and Luna saw the children brutally kill a cat. Helios was angered by it and tried to destroy the children. He lost most of his elemental powers when he released them to destroy the children. The elemental powers escaped to the human world.

Before darkness can take over both worlds, he must find a savior to help him find his elements then restore peace to both worlds. Unfortunately, there is a villain from the Dark World trying to interfere and wants to rule over the Magic World. He sends his henchmen and minions to create chaos and interfere with Helios's plans.

Helios goes to the human world again to find the prophesized savior. He is chased by the Dark World's henchmen there. With his weak powers, he fights with the enemies and accidentally meets a human girl, Mineko, which actually was his prophesized savior.

Tropes used in Helios Eclipse include:
  • A Day in the Limelight: The non-canon Easter Egg comic in Helios Eclipse Prologue. It happens when the guardians get dumplings from the human world. There were only 3 dumplings left but there were 4 to feed. So Spade suggests that the guardian who served his/her master the most gets the dumplings. Club doesn't get the dumplings because he just eats and plays everyday.
  • An Aesop: When Nurse Rina tells Luna about a student who committed suicide after being bullied relentlessly for being "ugly", the bottom of the page has this disclaimer.

Kaoru: Remember kids, suicide is a mortal sin in all religions. There are better ways to resolve your problems!

  • Animesque
  • Author Appeal: Lampshaded in Parts 1 and 2 in "Once More From The Top" and "The Gathering".
  • Bifauxnen: Toroya.
  • Big Bad: Soileh.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Many moments.
    • Luna, Spade and Club when Mineko is controlled by Miraa.
    • Helios, Eddy, Spade and Club when Evilina and Mineko are badly beaten up by Toroya. The former eventually stays on to battle Toroya, while the latter three brought the two girls to safety.
  • Boisterous Bruiser: Eddy.
  • Cannot Spit It Out: Mineko to Helios.
    • When she finally did, Helios eventually gave Mineko an indirect first kiss ("love bites" actually).

Helios: I am the ruler of the Realms of Magic. The power of the sun itself is at my beck and call. The elements are mine to weave. And I stood powerless before you, until I hear you speak. I have wasted so much time...made you suffer so much...will you forgive me, Mineko? Tomorrow, I will set off for the Valley of Water - will you forgive me leaving you one more time? And will you awaiting me? For I'll return before the bite marks disappear. This I vow.
