My favorite Fairy Tale.

What's your favorite fairy tale? The Four Seasons? The Girl in the Tower? The Shallow Sea? How about the Twin Gods and Their Warriors? Hmm, you never heard that one before? Not really all that surprising. Not may care for the whole story when it seems fine for the first half.

There were once two godly brothers, one of light and one of darkness. The god of light loved creating life; whereas his brother, the god of darkness hated what his brother created so he created objects of innate destruction to damage and destroy what his brother created. However, life is always persistent and always finds a way to survive. Eventually the god of darkness created something to destroy all of the life in Remnant, the creatures of Grimm.

At this, the older brother finally had enough and confronted his younger brother, and rather than to continue fighting he offered a proposal: they work together to make one last creation. A creation that they both could be proud of. Together they created humanity and gave them gifts. The gift of both creation and destruction. The gift of knowledge to learn, adapt, and survive. The last gift they gave them was the gift of free will, choice. They then created the physical forms of these and hid them away from man.

After so many years the gods looked at their world and where displeased the humans were continuously being killed by the Grimm. So they guided the humans to unlock their auras and find dust. Things were fine for a while, but attacks were now increasing more and more as humans started to turn on each other. The gods once again came together to find some way to protect and guide their creations.

The god of light created humans with mirrored eyes with the ability to reflect their opponent's attacks. 'These will be my guides and guardians for humanity. They will lead them with joy and honor.' The god of darkness disagreed with his brother.

'What good is honor with humans who had lacked such to begin with?' He asked before stating: 'To fight as such would be leaving yourself open to an attack. Experience and instinct are what define warriors.'

And so he created humans with the ability to consume Grimm and use their abilities but limited them to the one type of Grimm they first consumed. He then secretly gave them the the gift of war. He told his brother that they will make up for what the silver eyed ones lack.

As the two families grew they regarded each other with suspicion and fear. The dark warriors were chaotic and uncontrollable, but held their family and friendships above everything else, including their own lives. The light warriors were well received by the people, but they never were able to find a place within their society due to their innate kindness. The two warrior groups had many clashes and battles between themselves due to their conflicting natures. Seeing this, both of the gods suddenly thought up a prophecy to keep the two from killing each other:

A shattered world and a shattered soul born from the ashes of war.

Born as two, A sign of peace twisted into a weapon of four.

Whether destined to create or destroy, knowledge cannot decide,

The choice will be made for the sake of the last of the mirrored eyes.

The two sides, still weary of each other, separated. The Warrioirs of Light, who the humans called the Silver Eyed Warriors, went to Sanus, while the Shadow Warriors, who the humans called the Shifters, went into near isolation on the dragon shaped continent, Bahor. (A/n: means Accursed; Blight; Curse; Toxin. From a D&D HomeBrew Campaign) Which is where we shall start this story.
