Prologue
It All Started
It all started years ago… no, not years. Centuries. Centuries since humans have ever seen or heard of these creatures that had once lived among us. Once in harmony and peace, helping one another, living with each other like family. There was equality and kindness between them and the humans. All was calm and happy.
Till one day, the darkness came, and destroyed the peace.
No one knew where the darkness came from, or what its goal was, but it was certain that the darkness had come from those who had evil in their hearts, gathering its strength over the years till it was strong enough to attack. War broke out, and many had fallen in battle against the darkness.
Many had tried to find a way to defeat the darkness, and all turned to be futile. Many years had passed, but the war raged on. The darkness grew more and more powerful each day.
All hope was fading as lives were diminishing more and more each day.
Till one fateful day, a brilliant man constructed a powerful machine, one strong enough to defeat the darkness once and for all. On the eve of the final battle the man used the machine. Light flooded out and basked the field of pure power that brought back what others had lost.
Determination.
Filled with determination, the darkness was defeated once and for all. But the victory was short lived when the humans noticed one thing.
Their allies, the ones who fought with them to stop the darkness, had vanished. The machine had not only defeated the darkness, but had also banished the creatures as well, sending them deep underground where no sunlight shined and no soul could escape. Few had been spared in their banishment to the underground, but chose to live far from the human eyes and live peacefully where no one would find them.
Years passed, and humans had started to forget their friends.
But they never forgot the humans, or what they had done to them…
