(Dark Side of the Moon)
PROLOGUE
"The tales of the universe are long and almost gone, and it's secret powers lay hidden still."
Long time ago, there was vast nothingness, not a particle in sight, much more a living thing. Yet from the nothingness sprung the entity called Light. She came in separating Darkness from her being, engulfing with her presence the Darkness she occupied. Longing for companion, she bore children which she scattered all around her. They were lovely beings twinkling around her. They spread out far and wide into Darkness. But Darkness was too vast that even though Light had borne millions and millions of her children, they were not enough to conquer his void. Nevertheless, it concerned little of her children. They were happy living in Darkness' void.
There came a time when Light's most powerful and brilliant child, Lunaria, brought forth children that were fair and different from the other stars. They were brilliant, yes; but, they were extremely diminutive and their forms were none like any. The other children, sisters of Lunaria, bore also children; however, they came in unlike the offsprings of Lunaria. They were like themselves, very brilliant and big; some were also non-luminous, hard and solid.
On the solid ground that came from Light's other children settled the children of Lunaria. Immediately, they flourished. They called Light's children 'stars' and they revered their mother Lunaria above all; she was near them and was their source of brilliance. Later on, the grounds they lived in became the planets. They called the one they lived in Sirio, for it was the child that came from Lunaria's sister, Siriana.
The children of Lunaria grew in multitude, becoming less brilliant as the passing of time. At some point they had to find other planets to live in. Milleniums passed and the descendants of Lunaria were scattered, much like her siblings. Some of them trekked light-years away, rarely to be heard of. There were others who stayed in Sirio, while some preferred to live on planets near Lunaria. And it came to pass that these separated kinsmen were long forgotten; and if ever the Lunarian people hear of beings from afar, they would take them as foreigners. Language and culture differed; thus becoming the barrier that held the forgotten relatives apart.
And difference caused misunderstanding; misunderstanding caused arguments; arguments caused wars. From them started the first war in the universe. The first class of warriors sprung from them, the first art of war, the first bloodshed. An entity named Chaos was born amidst them, breeding greed and hatred in the hearts of the children of Lunaria, and feeding from all the malice that the war had inflicted in their minds. Thus the war continued.
In a desperate attempt to save her children from the malice and the entity named Chaos, Lunaria sought her siblings' help. Together with Gaea, they battled Chaos. In the end, they won, dismissing Chaos to the far off regions of Darkness.
Afterwards, Gaea created Earth and they brought the remaining children of Lunaria there to start anew. Lunaria, on the other hand, bore another children, quite different from the first ones. They looked the same as the first though but they were fairer and more powerful. They were also immortal and were held as the guardians of the universe. Among these children came the most powerful protectors. And the youngest of them would be the ancestors of the most renowned among them, the progeny of the Silver Moon.
This is the story of the ancient times. But this is but a gist of the story. The details lay deep as time goes by. With this, our story begins.
