350 Eons ago….
Before the stars first shone, there was no concept of a universe, no planets, no galaxies or nebula clouds. There only existed 2 beings that held immense power. On one end of this spectrum was Durkan, he embodied all that is dark, shadows manipulator. He rules and plays with death as if it’s a toy to him.
On the other end of the spectrum was Elara, she embodied all that’s benevolent, she enjoys bringing life, creating things and seeing how they operate in her image.
Durkan never liked the things Elara created since he believed that it defies the natural order of the universe, which is that it remains quiet and still like the death he fancies so much.
Elara obviously opposes such a notion as she feels like the universe is too mundane and monotonous. Thus, with such opposing views, Durkan and Elara Fought and debated for Milleniums regarding what the state of the universe should be.
345 Eons ago….
After they bickered for a long while, they reached a stalemate. Realizing that neither side was going to back down. In the end, Elara proposed that one way to truly absolve their differences was to form a grand project ...Thus, The universe, once an abstract idea, shall be conceptualized. With that goal in mind, Elara and Durkan begin working away..Elara being the giver of life, used her immense power and formed the stars and planets. She made millions and millions of them in a single breath and a wave of her hands. She decided that she’ll group them up accordingly and that’s how the Milky Way and other galaxies like the Andromeda galaxy was formed.

Durkan decided that death shall hold a bigger meaning now as he formed the laws of death that all of Elaras creation must follow..that as life continues to grow and evolve, it shall shed parts of its old self.
200 Eons ago
Now with all of Elara’s decided creation formed after Hundreds of eons. Durkan and Elara wanted someone to help upkeep her creation. Thus, she formed the humans. However she knew that she and Durkan agreed to this project for the main reason of absolving their differences and ultimately proving who’s right.
So she gave Humans an inherently neutral aura. Unlike her and Durkan where they are bounded to one side completely, Humans have the ability to be influenced by both the positive and negative forces of the universe. In this way, which side humans end up following more shall settle their eons long disagreement as there won’t be biases.
4500 years ago…
Something went horribly wrong…humans have constructed a massive temple for Elara and Durkan respectively but with such differences in beliefs, war soon broke out among the humans and the gift of magic granted upon them was used excessively in battle, decimating and ruining most of the earth.
Elara was disappointed in the outcome of the project and Durkan nearly attempted to destroy the planet and restart anew but Elara told Durkan that the scales will balance themselves out and if needed, a unique individual will be born one day and that person will repair the broken world once more…
