《Dream of the Guardians I-1: Rising》Chapter 0 - The Great Darkness
Advertisement
Long ago, when humans were just beginning to form communities, two beings of great power collided, bringing destruction to the earth. For mortals, the land full of life was trampled on by the whim of beings outside their world, outside their lives. With great anger towards the beings and fanning the flames of their hearts with the love of the land they were born from; the beings were expelled from the world.
With the power they awakened, humans built great civilizations, expanded their domains throughout the world. Nothing was out of reach; no monster was able to cope with them... until the world became boring and meaningless. Jealous of their fellowmen, each civilization began to yearn for the power of its brethren, those who could build longed to destroy and those who could destroy longed to build.
Before long, everything they built after eons of trial and error, mutual support, and bonds beyond the ages, disappeared in less than a blink. The very power they used to protect the world where they lived ended up consuming them until no trace of them remained.
Time passed, new civilizations rose above the ashes of the old world, and although no one knew what had happened, history repeated itself once again in an inevitable cycle. The endless race of the human to build a path to greatness, reach the heavens, just to end up falling into the abyss only to repeat the process.
Along the way, humans with power took the reins of the course of civilization, anyone with power can take the reins, yes, but not anyone with power will take the road to greatness. In this way, powerless humans became fed up with the endless cycle of impotence.
Making use of the only power they had, their inventiveness, powerless humans began to prosper and reached heights never imagined by humans with power. They turned the tables, now they had the power and the reins. Humans with power were repudiated and were forced to hide in the shadows, where no one found them, where they could live in peace.

400 years ago, a man gathered humans with power and unified them in a single movement, with a single goal, to survive under the light of the world. To be able to shout to the four winds that he is alive in the world, to feel the freedom that he longed for all his life, that man really reached to greatness and his name was engraved in the annals of time.
Little would everyone know that he would end up betraying everyone, humans with and without powers, in order to reach the top and bring great darkness to the whole world. The scar he left, the same one that has been repeated infinitely in the world, would give rise to the story of a young man with the ambition to reach that same peak.
