Rayman: Dawn of Janus


AN: Ubi Soft owns The Rayman Series. It also owns all characters in here except for Janus and a few others I might add. Now, on to the fanfic…

Prologue: The Great War

In the beginning, there was one.

From the mind of the Great Dreamer came matter, filling up the Chaos that had previously covered the galaxy with substance. Polokus the Dreamer then created life to live on the world he had created. This he followed with forests, mountains, and rivers. The world seemed to be a perfect place.

But the dreamer's dreams could also cause destruction…

From the nightmares of Polokus came a terrible creature. Calling itself Janus, it rallied other creatures to itself and declared war on its Creator. Many people died trying to stop it, and even Polokus couldn't destroy it. All hope seemed lost.

Then, a champion arose…

From the Heart of the World, a powerful hero emerged to fight the evil around him. He fought all of Janus' minions until he came to the Great Evil itself. The hero and Janus fought for days, neither one gaining any ground. The world itself shuddered from the devastation that was caused by their battling. Then, the Hero finally subdued Janus. Polokus then created a cave to hold Janus until the end of time.
After the fighting was over, the Hero devoted his life to easing the suffering caused by the warring. Many people died in the war, but under the Hero's direction the world was able to move on. The people called the hero the Rai' Muana, or "Great Hero", and kept his memory alive after he passed on.
Every century, a new Rai' Muana, or Rayman as he grew to be called, was born from the Heart. Although these heroes strove for peace, they prepared for battle in case Janus ever arose again…
