Synopsis
Aeternum. A planet that hosts life. One brimming with energy, with lush greenery and sapphire seas.
How this world came to be is unknown, lost to time. But there are theories. There existed a singularity long ago, one being that split into two. A being of light: Solis, and one of darkness: Moros.
Solis, the light so harsh that it burned, and Moros, the darkness that swallowed everything whole. Antithetical in every way and yet, two sides of the same coin. Creation and destruction, an endless cycle that reshaped the universe over and over again.
Until both beings grew tired of fighting. Exhausted of their powers, they created a battlefield for themselves. To pit their powers against each other, indirectly. Solis birthed the Caeli, and Moros the Infernals.
War raged on for aeons, until victory was achieved by the divine forces of Solis. The god created a gift for the Caeli. A race to protect and call their own. Humanity. Beings not blessed with innate power, yet had the ability to populate Aeternum with numbers.
The planet, once simply a barren battleground, erupted with life. Humanity, along with the many other beings the war had spawned, took over the planet in droves. It was peaceful.
Yet nothing is everlasting.
Solis and Moros were two sides of the same coin. Due to not inheriting Solis’ divine powers, humanity represented both sides.
Moros, whose form was destroyed and trapped in the very core of the planet, began to feed. Feed on humanity’s negativity. Feed on any negative thought, emotion and impulse.
The dark god continued spawning Infernals. Even if Moros couldn’t act, the Infernals would do his bidding. They would slowly take over the planet, and erode their god’s prison.
Humanity was a battery. A battery to feed the Infernals, as they only grew stronger and stronger, obliterating civilization after civilization.
Solis’ divine Caeli could only do so much. They were beings that were finite in number. Finite in power.
But humanity wasn’t content with being used by the Infernals. They were not simply batteries. They were fighters. And they weren’t going down so easily.
