A desolate, empty world. Void of life. Until one day, god came, or gods. We called them the twins. Our lands, filled with grass and animals as far as the eye can see. Oceans far unexplored and skies unreached. The twins gave us great power. We called it love. They called it a weapon. We were created so that our other halves could live. They were born without power. But even so, we loved them. We cherished them over anything else. They were true life. Powerless, and yet so impactful. Every decision they made was so random, and it brought a smile to our faces everyday. They learned to do as we do. Even without powers.
But one day. A sin sparked inside our other halves. They wanted more, they desired more than they could hold. They became greedy, and still, we loved them. They began to hate us. They began to hate themselves. Then they began to hate our creators for not giving them powers just like us. They felt.........different. We understood the anger they felt, we too felt sad but could not intervene with the choices of the twins. Their orders were absolute, there was nothing we could do. Our halves, they were not controlled by the twins like us. They had freedom. They had a choice. I guess that's why we loved them so much. Because we wanted to be like them.........free. A few years later we soon gave them a name. Humans. However, their hatred towards us never stopped. It became worse everyday to the point where they began killing us. We couldn't take it upon ourselves to kill the very thing we wish to be. So our number decreased ever so slowly. The twins realized this and began creating monsters and abominations that hunted the humans. We couldn't stand for this and fought off the monsters that wanted to kill our very ideal way of life. We struggled against the monsters all over the world because of our number. As the monster's numbers decreased, so did we.
The twins did not like this one bit. So they decided to cut off their age limit. They could no longer live as long as us anymore. They were cut off from the bloodline. The humans became angry with this and decided to revolt against the twins, demanding their place with us. The twins shunned them and decided to wipe them off the world. They created a mass army of monsters to wipe all the humans. The humans finally understood they couldn't win this alone. They asked for help, but we were already there to save them. They were our treasure. This became the 1st great war on Kradle. The twins became angry at our notion and thus uttered what we are. What our true purpose was. They called us Dorekami. God slayers. Our purpose, everything we stood for. We weren't protectors of life. We were tools of destruction. World enders. They were right. Our power wasn't love. They really were weapons.
So we did what we were intended for. We slayed our gods, we killed the twins. But at a cost. Our world was broken into three. Elysium, Grail, and Baofuella. The humans graciously thanked us for helping them. Both humans and dorekami suffered a great loss. But in the end, we scraped together what was left of our world and made it better. Those who had a weaker bloodline from the twins created a utopia in Elysium. Calling it the realm of angels. Those with a stronger bloodline created a hellscape in Baofuella to strengthen themselves so they wouldn't be so weak. Finally, grail was the middle ground. Where humans and dorekami could live together. Traveling the other realms required being able to use magic since our world was broken, empty space was far closer than you could imagine. Walking to the edge of the world wasn't impossible. Borders had to be made so no one would accidentally fall off the world and plummet into space.
Those who could enter space without protection, they guard the borders and call themselves Doretori's. The gatekeepers. They prevented anything going out and anything that wanted in. Creatures like voidling and vardons started showing up. The Doretori's did their best to keep them out, but the creatures still found ways to enter our world. They create monster hives that spawn more of their kind everyday. Us Dorekami hunt these creatures and hives as a dayjob. But ever since the twins disappeared, so did our source of power. The more our generation continued, the more of our power started dwindling away. This was our dream, to finally become human. But with all these dangers, do we really want to become human? Who will protect these people without power? Humans always had ideals, we were always the power. If we are gone, who will protect this world from the dangers that exist in other worlds?

On the edge of Grail
Nilheim, my darling. Why must you choose this path? The war is over. - Diana
Our children will experience much bigger threats if we don't consolidate the problem now. The high council will pay. - Nilheim
The high council doesn't care about us. They only feared the twins. Now that the twins are gone, we aren't a threat to them. Our numbers are 1000 strong. We can't do anything to them even if we tried. - Diana
The high council sent in scouts to overlook our world. I've already sent people to deal with them. - Nilheim
You what?! Do you know how much danger we could be in if we were to mess with the High council. Have you even thought about our children before you sent your men out? You are reckless and irresponsible. Gihelsh was right. All you ever think about are the G.O.D's. - Diana
Don't.......call them Gods.Their real names are Dura's. They are no gods in my eyes. Everytime they bring about a new Dura, they think they can control us. Which is why I will bring the war to them. - Nilheim
You will not......I won't allow it. Our children will suffer no more because of your ludicrous ideas. - Diana
Our children will continue to suffer if these people still live. They will send countless soldiers to massacure us all. - Nilheim
No, they won't. - Diana
Diana casts a spell that binds Nilheim in place. A crater opens up from the ground in front of Nilheim.
What are you doing Diana, let me go this instant. You don't know the damages you will cause to our world. Release me....now! - Nilheim
I'm doing this for our children. For all the children that may be born in the future. So that they may never have to experience war like we did. So they never have to be traumatized like you. You were a good man, Nilheim, but you were never meant to be a good father. - Diana
Nilheim's expressions and emotions left him as he heard her last words spoken to him. She pushed him into the deep crater and buried him alive. Footsteps could be heard coming behind her.
Magnificent job Diana. You did well. Now, I can guarantee safety for your world. - GKE
You promise to leave us alone. My children....... - Diana
Of course, your children will be alright, as well as OUR children. - GKE
Of course......God King Ekiel..... - Diana
