Sudeki

Prologue

Of the gods and demigods created from the Void,

Tetsu – heir to the realm of Omnia – received a gift with which he toyed.

Sudeki and all its subjects would worship him alone;

yet still he longed for another god to share his celestial home.

Drawn from within his crystal skin, another child was born.

Yet slicing one, though good and true,

the light from dark was torn.

At first the brothers celebrated

and shared their world in faith.

But then the dark grew powerful

and love was made to waste.

The dark gave swing to his selfish twin,

and he banished out his brother.

Now weakening, the good twin flared in search of help from others.

Of animal men – one wise and fair – his tribe, they turned to flee.

While human beings hid their feelings,

save the heroic three.

"Twas separation brought us here! How selfish was my wish?

So unity will be our new goal; we fight," the angel hissed.

They fought the beast so powerful,

and forced him to give in.

Then as battle silenced a rage came o'er the twin.

The world would form asunder,

the subjects split in two.

Unable to reach the afterlife,

death drifted in the gloom.

Then the magic ceased;

and silence took control.

An age, one thousand years would pass before these kin would toil.

And of the four who bravely fought,

their fate was not to end.

For time would tell, to save from hell, we will need these friends again.

Now is the hour that my brother wakes.
