Diplomania is hidden beneath the grounds of the earth many search but never find it. Only immortals or special people live in this land.

Imagine living in paradise, a world where you could have everything you could ever wish for and more, Diplomania was exactly that. On the rim of the ocean, you could see the attractive aqua sky; the ruby sun dancing. Can you see all that in your mind? Picture that, times 1,000,000,000,000. Even dreaming of this Island will make you tingle.

Ever heard of Hercules? He had children: Sneak, the quarter goddess of lightning and steam; Shadow, the quarter god of stealth; Thorn, the quarter god of nature; and finally Shade, the quarter god of water. They all lived in this amazing, paradise - like place. But in the corner of Diplomania lived a family of devils, the enemy of Hercules' family.

One son, Clothaire, had a mission against there family. He had solemn sweared that he would complete his mission. Clothaire would never reveal his mission, not even to his own siblings or father, Loath. But once it happened, they wouldn't know what had hit them...

Every night, Sneak would here noises; thinking it was just her imagination, she would try to get sleep. Along with that, at least once a day, her words would get muffled. All was because, when she was just a young one she was cursed. By... Well I must not say or it shall give it all away. All I must say is, every day she went out for a stroll by the lake.

Today, she wanted to shake off all her anger while feeding the heavenly swans. She kept on seeing shadows behind her. Being the brave figure she was, she went to investigate; every time she turned around, nothing was there. Confused, she arrived at the swans and watched them dance like ballerinas. They deserved a treat, she thought. As she gave them pieces of bread, she was sure someone was following her, but were they?
