In the beginning, before life graced the cloud of existence - before any semblance of time and sunrises and sound - there dwelled only two divine forces of energy.
Decedre, the God of Matter - Oresae, the God of Light.
Decedre, a powerful force that pulsed with massive authority - carved along the darkness with commanding gravity. Oresae, a wisp of graceful luminescence - beamed with ferocity and tore across the emptiness.

The contrasting entities brought duality to the nothingness they inhabited. Polar in their qualities, but equal in their strength. For a timeless eternity, they danced along the canvas of reality, orbiting in a synchronized sway. Locked and drawn in the dance of one another’s magnetism - in perfect movement.
But ever tighter did their nexus become, condensing ever so narrow with each revolution.
From afar, attraction formed between the two forces as they were drawn to unite, beckoned by the other's powerful magnetism.
And so, restless and unable to repel the other's attraction, the Gods raced across the void towards one another. They collided in a grand explosion, fracturing in a violent rush, melding and dispersing their particles amongst the expanse - creating a slew of new matter.
The momentum bound all that was into a cycle in which the two energies symbiotically flowed, moving and swallowing faded energy to nourish it anew until it faded again.
Billions of cycles passed as energy became spirits, spirits threaded into souls, and souls became lifeforms. Decedre consumed the dying and purified tired souls as Oresae shepherded them back to the physical realm. The universe hummed in harmony as the balance of divine energy flowed in peaceful cadence.

Conscious life forms emerged, bringing new and exuberant definitions to existence. From it grew love and wonder and awe. The conscious-kind flourished with vigor, in tune with the roots that bound them to the fabric of all that was. An age of serenity graced the conscious kind. In their hearts lived the essence of the Gods - in unity and balance.
However, consciousness was a burden of conflict, prone to falter. In time, despite the cycle of renewal, the mind grew weary of its mortal body. Fear crept into the world - a fear so grave that it defied the flow.

Fear evolved into sinister concoctions, becoming vicious hatred and vile atrocities. The conscious kind’s grasp of their origin weakened. The vibrational harmony of the universe began to tremble.
A corruption swept across the lands in the hearts and souls of the conscious kind whose unwilling spirits refused fate’s surrender. Man found way to become immortal by shattering his soul into body - corrupting the divine materials of the physical realm.
Those afflicted tore their souls from the cycle of rebirth, willing the essence of Decedre to their agenda.

Millenniums passed as the Conscious Kind struggled against the affliction. A shadow of foreboding loomed as spirits whispered prophetic truths unto the societies of men, warning them of the wavering balance. Should the clotting of the energy worsen, the end times would await the entirety of existence.

A divination of hope also transcended into the breath of messengers, foretelling an arrival of a savior. As the beast of Conscious Kind arises, threatening to tip the scales of reality, a chosen hero would be called upon to restore the balance and soothe the wound of the realm.
