History
Ever since the beginning of time, the 10 Elemental Spirits were created by the gods. And with each spirit, came a world. Each Spirit, was the keeper of it's own world. Making their own world in however way they wanted to.
Until, however, the Goddess of Love, Yancalana, made mortal creatures like hedgehogs, tulips and etc. Setting them to live on the 10 worlds. This angered the spirits and they tried to destroy their queen. But Yancalana easily beat them and then came a punishment. The punishment was to be forever locked away inside 10 rings which would keep the spirits locked away until they finally learned to live in peace with the mortals.
Each spirit represents an element and emotion. Trapped within each ring. Slowly starting to forget who they are and become emotionless and blank. Only used for power and war now.

While Yancalana is grateful for Lara's kindness towards the once corrupted spirirts, she doesn't really trust them. But through time she learns to cope with the long lost spirits.
