Likenix: Stuck in the Middle
Prologue
The Magic Realms housed many creatures, all living in utopia. Two happily wed dragons were sitting together in their hut, having a friendly conversation about their two sons. One son was obedient, self-disciplined, humble, polite, and reliable for his age. The other son, however, completely opposed those traits. The sons were best friends though, and one day they were playing with their dad's old armor. The good son dropped a helmet into a miniature crack in the ground. The bad son told him to go get It, but the other refused, saying it was too dangerous. The bad son made fun of his brother lightly then went to get the helmet himself. Whilst down in the crack, the son found the helmet and reached for it when he suddenly felt a presence behind him. Slightly afraid, he turned around, only to be dragged down into pure darkness. Shadows rushed into him through every opening… it happened so fast. When the son awoke, he found that he was a spirit, but he wasn't on his planet. He was left to rot alone forever in a dimension of nothingness, a place that all spirits torn out of all existence went.
Meanwhile, The son's body had nothing but shadow inside it, and it grew, and grew, and grew, until it was thirty stories high. Every feature looked ferociously evil, from the long, black, dripping back spines to the pulsing white eyes. It was no longer the son, it was a monster of pure darkness, a monster known as Insanity. The other brother saw the being that is-no-that was his brother. He knew what he had to do, he prayed to the great ancestors and told them of the predicament. The ancestors gave absolutely all power they had to the little dragon, turning him into an all-powerful god, a god named Sanity. However, he did not have the power to kill Insanity, so he sacrificed all his power and life to lock insanity away for one million years, weakening him greatly, but still being out-of-this-world powerful. Now both wait, Insanity waits for the day he will come back and destroy anything and everything, and Sanity waits to give the power he regenerates to a hero who will bring peace…
Sanity was not powerful enough to restrict all access to the real world, however. Insanity, when he grew strong enough, would send shadows to the real world to corrupt any living thing who's heart was exposed to darkness. Over the years, more and more civilians were turned evil, while Sanity's wall between Insanity and the real word eroded. Until, one day, Insanity found a hole to the real world that he could fit his claw through…
