Before the beginning

After the great war between heaven and hell

God created the earth

and gave dominion over it to the crafty ape he called Man

To each generation, was born a creature of light

and a creature of darkness

And great armies clashed by night in the ancient war between good and evil

There was magic then

Nobility

And unimaginable cruelty

And so it was, until the day that a false sun exploded over trinity

and man forever traded away wonder

for reason
