Crystal Shards

"'This gem holds all of the information of the Uerica itself, like how it functions and how it can be harnessed. Losing a piece of that gem is like removing pages from a book. You cannot know the whole story without all of the pages.'" These are the three pieces of the Uerica Crystal.

Role in the story
The Crystal Shards, or just Shards for short, are the reason SCAR and Salvador haven't taken control of the Uerica yet. The goal was to take the Uerica Crystal and use its information to take the Uerica away from Goldyrondo, but since the Crystal was shattered into three pieces and spread across the globe, the antagonists had no choice but to use what they got and build from there.

The Shards created our heroes, and united them as well.

The Shards share a fraction of the information in the Uerica Crystal, which is why one Shard isn't enough and all must be found.""

Creation
Salvador explores the Earth, only to discover Lakrima, who can open portals through space and to other universes. Salvador uses Lakrima to return to the Uerica and he stole the Uerica Crystal, but it is destroyed into three pieces by Goldyrondo and are scattered across the globe. Salvador is only able to retrieve one shard, which is kept with SCAR for them to learn more about the Uerica. Salvador searches for the other two shards until he figures out another group of scientists who possess a second shard.

Locations
From the moment the Shards were created, they had been seperated.

Shard 1: The first shard was found by Salvador not long after it was created. It was brought to SCAR so they could use its limited information. This Shard is later stolen by Abel as a response to SCAR mutating him.

Shard 2: The second shard was later found by humans, who knew nothing of its abilities. It would be sold for money before it reached the hands of David's scientists, who knew it produced a continuous energy source greater than other energy sources. They used its energy and information to grow a breed of genetically modified humans, which were stronger and smarter than normal humans. This is how David was born.

Shard 3: Lakrima found the third shard after its creation, and it kept the shard safe for years. He learned from the shard and used it to experience peace within the universe. Lakrima resided in a temple in Southern Asia and became dormant, protecting the shard from the world until David and Abel arrive years later.
