Peace;
What's That?
Prologue.
Before there was a difference between humans, Makai demons, or Underworld demons; Before the world was separated for it's own survival. Even before humans were even evolved enough to be considered homo sapiens, or had been able to classify themselves as such. There was the world in its rawest, and possibly purest stage. All living creatures continued to survive, or die out from natural selection, and adapt to the young planet's environmental changes.
As the planet continued to age, modify, and change, so did it's children. Those that would turn into the most advanced beings finally started to separate themselves from simple tasks. As centuries passed, their evolutions were more apparent. A race which was one, split into three species, which continued onto many different subspecies. There were the humans, which further developed into those of higher ability. Some would even consider themselves psychics and witches, if not freaks by the rest of society. While the more sinister -natured humans took on traits similar to demons, and hunted those that were considered witches; These were Warlocks. Then there were the demons, which had remained the same species till the world split into three realms. Before, it had always been two realms, where one was saved for the 'afterlife' of sorts.
A war had broken out between the two subspecies of demons. One side held those with traits similar to animals, or with strong ties to elements. The other adapted abilities by sinking further into the darkness of all creature's hearts. As the war continued, the Earth was only torn apart even further, as the Spirit Realm flooded up with spirits. A council of human spirits, called the elders, gathered with the royalty of spirits; Enma DaiOh. It took the power of the strongest spirits of all types of species, the 100 strongest witches and psychics, along with a 100 strong demons of both kinds. Knowing they would no longer exist, but continue to preserve the balance of the species, a strong ritual went forth guided by the Elders and Enma.
Makai was born, holding creatures of the imagination, and an environment few humans could survive in, but suitable for the demons. Unexpectedly, a chasm grew under the Earth's green surface. While not a different realm, it was an environment underground that had been spawned from the darkness of the sacrifice's hearts. Continuing with the quest for balance, Enma and the surviving Elders cast an enticement 'spell' upon the demons. Those of the animal and element nature found themselves drawn towards the Makai, as others found an entrance to the Underworld.
Evolution continued on with it's course. While demons had taken a sharp decrease in the humans green earth, there were plenty that continued developing kingdoms in suitable areas of the world. The Elders started to split apart, with one group developing radical ideas, influenced by what they continued to see among the living plane. Thus, the Avatars were born, with a plan to create Utopia; Where there were no demons at all, no conflict, and only peace upon the human realm. Several times, as civilizations had finally started to develop, the group continued to recruit and turn more gifted humans, with the highest 'spirituality' to their ideals. Gathering power, they had almost succeeded in their goal.
It's impossible to create a true Utopia, however, even with their plans. To simply remove all conflict would upset the balance, and shut out necessary emotions in the humans. The Egyptians had banded together with Underworld and Makai demons, and developed a mixture, which would prove to be the only thing to kill a single Avatar, which would in turn, weaken the collective. Threatening the radical group with their own solutions, the Avatars retreated into a pocket space above the 'skies' to await the next suitable time for Utopia to come forth again. In anticipation for such an 'evil,' the Egyptians entombed their secrets, in hopes it would be found when needed, and not destroyed with the passing ages.
Everything continued it's progress in the worlds. The Underworld developed a hierarchy of demons, going as far as the Source, feeding on strong Witches and Psychics, who had the power to protect the 'non gifted' humans. Makai started to have their own territories and kingdoms set up, though not set on who was the most evil. Humans, developing a sense of higher awareness, started to develop and harness their own spirit's power into pure energy. Prophecies came upon oracles and Witches, foretelling of a group of Witches stronger than any demon when they were together.
Thus caused an influx of human attacks once again. Witches and psychics were now the protectors of those who had not the abilities to do so themselves. 'Normal humans,' or Mortals, were now given the added title of 'innocent.' Up in the spirit realm, knowing how this would prove in the balance of Good versus Evil, things were brought forth even more. Enma, and the council known as Elders, developed a deal before separating from each other for their own factions. Those spirits which passed into the afterlife, whom had achieved many Good accomplishments, were awarded and recruited. With the ability to reach their charges as quickly as an Underworld demon's shimmer, and the gift of healing the most extreme of wounds, the 'pure' became Whitelighters. Protectors of Witches, and future generations of their kind.
In balance, the Underworld demons and Warlocks worked together to create a 'breed' for the sole purpose of destroying Whitelighters. Equipped with arrows of poison, and the ability to get into a future Whitelighter's mind, Darklighters had started their own hunts.
That's how it would always be for all realms and worlds. A constant struggle between Good and Evil, the balances of nature, and agents of the Spirit Realm guiding those they could. Now, humans are safer than ever before, as the Underworld remains in chaos, and the Makai unifies under a single ruler. Peace never lasted very long, however, despite the constant battles. It would take the Elders and Enma to gather their strongest to stop the next uprising in evil that threatens the solace of the realms.
More specifically, it would take the Elders, and Enma's son, Koenma, to gather their strongest to stop this uprising evil. Both group's recruits will have to realize and develop the understanding and protection of new realms, and learn to work together, before the worlds end...
Luckily, no one on either side is unused to Apocalyptic situations, where there's something close to destroying the world.
