The Legend of the Beloved

There is an ancient legend that goes back into the distant history of our planet. There was a time when a great catastrophe befell the planet and it's people. The outpouring of grief and pain from the planet was noticed by a solitary wandering being not indigenous to this region of space. It was passing through it on an exploratory journey. For it was one of a kind and of unknown origin.

One version of the legend says that The Powers of the Universe created it to wander through space as an expression of them, sometimes acting as their messenger.

Another version says that the reason it was the only one of it's kind was because it was the sole survivor of a cataclysmic event in it's own solar system. It set out into space to see if there might be another being similar to itself out there in the vast expanses of space.

But no matter what version you believe they both concur that it was an ancient being of great power and benevolence.

The rest of the legend states that when this being felt Antar's sorrow and despair it took pity upon its inhabitants. It wanted to help them in some way. It came down to the surface of Antar and discovered that these strange creatures seemed to function in pairs, male and female as they called it. This was foreign to this being for it's own people knew no different sexes they were just one complete being. They had no need of another to complement itself or know loneliness. It decided to stay and aid these sorrowful creatures in their time of need. It believed that the best way to do this, so not to raise suspicion or cause fear of who or what it was, would be to split itself into two halves, one female and one male.

These two halves would always be destined to find each other for they could not fulfill their purpose until they were united once again.

So when they appeared the people subconsciously recognized within these two a great power and sensed that their time of suffering would come to an end.

And so it began.

It is said that in a time of greatest need, this soul will be reborn and fulfill its self-assigned purpose as the protector of Antar.
