Chapter 1: Prologue
What is balance? In the English dictionary balance is described as "a condition in which different elements are equal or in the correct proportions" so this mean it has to be equal in proportion on both sides, in order words for there to be God there has to be a devil, for there to be cold there has to be hot, and for there to be light… there must be darkness.
People always hate the negative side of the balance, they hate that for happiness there must be suffering and for life there has to be death. But what if without this balance the universe would be thrown in chaos… that this balance is the only way we can enjoy happiness or have life.
And that is where this story begins with a being and his longing to get away from this balance.
"What do you have there Light" Darkness asked curiously looking over at his counterpart. The two sat in the nothing, a world above all others where there was only darkness and light.
"It's a baby" Light said in a naïve and childlike little girl voice holding up a small sphere of energy. It was blue and white and was the size of a rock. She had long white hair and pink eyes; she looked about nine years old.
"That's stupid" Dark muttered. 'I want one too' he thought in his head. Dark had spiky black hair and red eyes he looked the same age as Light but always had a permanent scowl on his face.
A few days later
"Hey Light look what I have and he's way cooler that yours" Dark said holding up a small black and red sphere.
"Wow congrats" Light said happily. Light always managed to stay happy despite Dark constant insults and put downs.
"Now what do we do?" Dark asked.
"We let them grow" Light said.
Eons Later
"Sigh they're at it again" Dark said with an annoyed sigh.
"It's like they are trying to destroy themselves" Light said tired of all the constant fighting. The two looked over the edge to see the constant war. Angels and devils killing each other, dragon fighting dragon, and man fighting man. The two have been forced since the beginning of time to watch the constant fighting.
"And all this over a stupid apple" Dark said crossing his arms.
"How is he?" Light asked. Her ball of blue and white light was now the size of a basketball.
"He's bigger than yours" Dark said pride fully picking up his red and black ball. They were both the same size but Dark always had to be bigger.
Centuries Later
"Mother" the figure with white hair, yellow eyes, and was wearing a white robe said. He looked about eight.
"Yes Uri" Light said.
"Why?" Uri asked.
"Why what?" Light replied.
"Why us?" Uri asked.
"What do you mean?" Light questioned.
"Why me and Kale" Uri asked.
"Why not", Light questioned.
"What's the meaning of our existence" Uri asked quietly.
"Meaning is what you make of it. The humans fight over paper and coins but for an angel or devil that stuff is meaningless" Light explained. "Why should anything mean something? Why struggle to achieve something that will eventually fade away?" Light asked.
Uri didn't have an answer so he remained quiet.
"I want to go down" Kale said, He looked like Uri but with black hair, dark red eyes, and was wearing a black robe.
"Why?" Darkness asked.
"I want to be their God" Kale said. He envied how the humans lived…always having fun, and playing games. He also hated how the fun was ruined by the evil and cruel humans so he wanted to rule to make sure they always had fun.
"You can't" Darkness replied.
"Why not?" Kale asked.
"Because for light there must be dark and for you there must be Uri" Darkness replied.
Centuries Later
"No I am leaving" Kale screamed angrily.
"You can't" Darkness replied.
"Watch me" Kale said and with that he jumped off the edge but was violently jerked back up.
"Told you" Darkness said.
"Why should me and Kale be forced to live such meaningless existence forced to sit on the side lines and watch as everyone else gets to have fun and live. Why do we exist? What's the point?" Kale shouted angrily.
"Because for light there must be darkness and for Uri there must be you" Darkness said laying back down in the air.
Later
"I figured out how to leave" Kale said happily.
"He's at it again" Uri said with a sigh.
"Honestly Kale why can't you be like Uri" Light said. Light looked more mature like she was in her early 20s her hair had grown long touching the ground.
"How?" Darkness asked. He enjoyed watching Kale's constant failed attempts to fall. Dark also looked the same age as Light and had raven black hair that went to his back.
"Like this" Kale said and he quickly grabbed Uri and threw himself off the edge and something tragic happened…they weren't pulled back up.
Light and Darkness watched in horror as their children fell to the Earth "Aren't you happy we'll be Gods together" Kale said as his and Uri's spirit began to fall they then split and fell into two different women wombs.
Light and Darkness didn't want to leave their children defenseless on the Earth so they each gave them a special gift mimicking the technique they saw the Gods and Dragons do repeatedly.
Light gave Uri the "Branch of Light" and Darkness gave his rebellious son Kale the "Branch of Darkness.
"What if the human world corrupts them" Light said to Darkness in a worried like tone.
"Don't fret when they die they'll come back here and Kale will be punished" Darkness said lying down in the air.
A girl with long black hair and grey eyes watched as the beings fell into the woman's womb from another dimension. "A deal is a deal" she said her eyes flashing white.
"I have always wondered who watched from above. Who kept the balance together… I would like to play a game with you two…I will give you each a gift and in return you will fight and fight to win. Which is greater light and order or darkness and chaos? You two will settle this question. Use the power of the heavenly dragons to win and this is my will…the will of Ophis"
"I will cease to exist as I am now…only to be reborn as the God of everything. – Kale
"If I ever kill you you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed"- Uri
Author Note- I'm going to explain the two characters and their symbolism.
Kale- he is the creation of darkness and so he quest for dark things. He represents the darkness and evil in people's heart so he quests for power he possesses the power branch of darkness. Another symbolism he possesses is the chaos of wanting to be on top of everyone.
Uri- he is the creation of light and so he understood his role as a being without a purpose. He represents light and good in people's heart so he quests to follow the rules and order of things he possesses the power branch of light. The final symbolism he represents is order, the order of knowing your place.
Branch of light-has power over sound, gains the ability to manipulate it and can use light magic, absorb darkness, and can create light creatures and weapons out of light if he can learn to master it enough
It manifests as a golden gauntlet (like the witchblade) except it is gold and has a light red gem in the middle of it and his eyes turn golden yellow, also gold streak appears in his hair
Branch of darkness- can devour light (in living things like plants or electric like lamps) to add to his strength and use dark magic and has ability over sight can make illusions and if mastered enough can create anything out of darkness like weapons, monsters, tentacles, etc.
It manifest as a gray and orange skull like gauntlet with spiked finger tips around his right arm (like Jackie Estacado in the darkness), and his eyes turn black, also dark blood red streaks appear in his hair
