Light's Shadow
Since the dawn of time there waged a war. A war in which shadows would attempt to engulf the light. The shadows were led by a fearsome ruler named Ramsus. He controlled all shadows and bent them to his will. Powerful as he was though he was drawn to a stalemate against his opposition known as "The Everlasting Light". The ruler of light was known as Zoa. Both of these beings were formed in the image of both Gods and of the element they manipulated. Zoa was incased in white and gold armor of a gallant knight. He wielded two dual blades that had majestic powers. Ramsus though was shaped in the demonic figure of an enormous shadow and used dark arts to his bidding.
The shadows then waged war against the light. Zoa was reluctant to face his foe but thought of the casualties and sorrow if he stood aside and let Ramsus control the world. Ramsus's main objective was to embody the Earth in shadows and to become the ruler of all humans. Zoa was known to be peaceful and knew that in order to maintain balance in the world that light would not be able to live without shadows and shadow without light. Both Zoa and Ramsus fought and as expected got nowhere and would always end there battles in a stalemate. These battles led nowhere and often ended with unnecessary casualties. Humans would control there shadows without an issue but when in direct contact with Ramsus he'd give the shadows enough power to overwhelm there human halves and would have an undying thirst to consume the inner light within humans which held the innocence and beauty of the human soul.
One fateful day though Ramsus and Zoa decided to settle the battle of light and shadow face to face. Zoa agreed to participate in a duel for power on the condition that they were far away from any innocent bystanders for the battle and Ramsus would choose the time of the battle. Ramsus agreed to this offer knowing that he had the upper hand. On the day of the battle they met in the barren desert. As they began their battle the outcome that was predicted was coming true. Both were equal in strength and for the first 16 days then on the 17th day of their battle a rare celestial apparatus occurred. The sun had been eclipsed as Ramsus had predicted. Shadows engulfed the battlefield which lead to the
clear advantage of Ramsus Zoa of course being of light was in a weakened state. He turned his back out of sheer pain of losing so much strength in such a quick amount of time.
Once he regained a sense of where he was he turned back to see his counterpart and all that he saw was no longer the figure from before. Ramsus had transformed to his final form. He was embodied in a mass of darkness and his voice echoed across the desert "Your death will soon be upon you! Now do you have any final words as you stand before your final form?" Zoa replied "Light will soon be resurrected and finish what I was incapable of doing" Then with his entirety he used his magic to release a blinding light that even blinded Ramsus in his final form. Using the diversion Zoa immediately discarded his dual blades and with his hand thrust into his chest and pulled out the Pure Light and said to it "Be reborn and finish what I was incapable of doing" Then he threw it towards a village filled with his disciples and the light then went into to the villages most noble warrior family. It sped through the lands and entered the womb of the head family's wife waiting to be born. Zoa then turned to face Ramsus who had finally recovered from the flash of light to only see Ramsus irritated and prepared to end Zoa's life. "Now that you've prolonged your death…YOU SHALL DIE WHERE YOU STAND!" yelled Ramsus. He sent his shadows and it engulfed Zoa. In his last moments of life Zoa whispered "Ludas will be the savior.." then Rasmus ended his life with the final blow…A dark spear through the chest of the Gallant Knight.
Meanwhile in the village where the Pure Light was sent lied a mother giving birth to what would one day be the salvation from the shadows."your name shall be Ludas" said the mother to her newborn child.
