There once was a Being, a Being of nothingness; no light or dark, no matter or time, no life or death. It was a lonely existence.

So they created.

Out of their hands came life and light, death and dark. Time began and matter spawned.

And six Gods, with a seventh to follow, were breathed into being.

But with their existence, something else followed too. As if the world needed an equal, a balance.

So with the Gods came Monsters. Things with no souls that wanted nothing more than to destroy what the Gods attempted to build. But they were separated by Veils – walls in existence itself keeping Earth and Heavens away from other lands and the Hells. It's said, at the very beginning of time, those walls began to break and crack, allowing some Monsters to squeeze through from their side to another. And with time, those cracks grew, and so more came.

No one knew why, but the Gods couldn't rid the world of Monsters. Some say it was because they were equal. All they knew was that they came.

The Gods searched for answers until they found one. They could merge with Humans and create their own kind of species. Those special enough became Creatures and they could ruin the Monsters with their newfound powers and ability.

It would be an endless fight, a war, the Gods and the Being knew, but it needed fighting for all souls were worthy of life. And so the Creatures would pass down these gifts through the generations, trying to rid the world of Monsters and give life to those who deserved it until one side emerged victorious.

This destiny wasn't chosen by them. It was chosen for them.

And so, from the Being's loneliness, there came Creatures and Monsters and a great balance that may one day shift all worlds forever.
