This tale speaks of the epic battle between the light of order and the darkness of destruction…

Final Fantasy VI Music - The Prelude

Genesis, goddess of order…

Tsukuyomi, god of destruction…

Both deities were in an eternal feud against each other to see who would be the one to claim the world as theirs.

But they knew that a battle between one and the other would cause irredeemable chaos to the environment around them.

So, in order to make measurements, just so that there would be no harm to the world,

They both gathered heroes and villains alike to represent their factions.

Genesis called her heroes "The Bearers of Hope",

While Tsukuyomi named his villainous pawns "The Bringers of Despair".

Thus, they both began preparations for the incoming "Battle for the Realms".

*Music stops*

Realm of Genesis – Goddess' Pad

Genesis, the goddess of order, was resting in her pad; it was a room that was illuminated by the window overlooking an expanse of land that had a nearby town – currently deserted –. Walls painted in sky blue were what surrounded the lonely goddess, who was sitting on the bed beside the window. She was sitting behind the curtains of her luxurious bed, looking through the window, thinking about the current situation that was being presented to her.

Genesis had the appearance of a beautiful woman with long black hair reaching to the upper part of her back and wearing a long white dress, without sleeves that could cover her slender arms, which reached and covered her bare feet.

Genesis was thinking about what her enemy, Tsukuyomi, told her: "This Battle for the Realms will have warriors from both sides competing against each other, with the victor claiming the land as theirs." She was worrying a bit too much about the upcoming epic battle that would seal the fates of many people.

Distant Worlds – Terra's Theme

She started talking to herself about the warriors she chose for this fight that would support her cause: The "Bearers of Hope". She began mentioning each of their names individually in a soft manner.

"Terra Branford… Noel Vermillion… Sora… Akira Kurusu… Morgana… Ryo… Shulk… Link… Arle Nadja… Carbuncle… Dust… Fidget… Ori… Sein… All of you will be destined to fight a great battle that would determine not only your fates, but also of the worlds you will have to protect."

The preparations began once she concluded her short speech… These heroes would be destined for greater battles indeed.
