Polarity
Chapter One
-Prologue-
Long ago, in the days of peace, a mighty tribe ruled the vast land of Lundarion. It was a secluded mass of land, cut off from the rest of the world by its massive mountain range that ran along the border of its only land connection. The forests were green and plentiful as was the harvest. Their plains were filled with grass and beasts roamed freely. They gave thanks to all the spirits, but none were held higher than the Sun and Moon spirits. Said to descend upon the mortal world every few hundred years. As their civilization began to grow, they conspired to build a massive temple to where they could worship their deities properly. But as they began to construct this edifice, dispute broke out between the people. Some of the tribe believed the temple should be erected for the Sun god alone, since he blessed their world with brilliant light and warmth and bestowed their world with the gift of fire. Others, proclaimed that the sanctuary be dedicated to the Moon goddess, because in their time of darkness she led them with her luminescent glow. Unable to resolve their quarrels, the arguments began to turn violent and the tribe was broke into two fragments. One worshiping only the Sun and the other only the Moon. Torn apart, the sun worshippers, known now as the Taiyou, moved from their central location near the mountains and the forest surrounding them. While the Shichiyou, the moon worshippers, retreated to the coast.
With the temple uncompleted, it remained in the ruins of the old joint civilization. For generations, the tribes were at war, neither willing to accept the ones they once called brother. And as the years passed the hatred grew. But one day, suddenly, on the untouched tablet mounted in the unfinished temple. A prophecy appeared, bearing a warning and a hope.
So long as the Moon is covered in blood,
And the Sun in darkness,
Evil will prevail.
Though the Moon controls the tides,
The Sun empowers the radiance with its brilliant light.
Together, they create
Symbolizing Life to Death
Separate, they are nothing to the evil one.
But once they are joined, balance shall be restored to the blood stained land.
