Thousands of years ago the world was a prosperous land of wealth, peace and magic. Creatures and Humans lived side by side and life was good. Some creatures and humans even bonded and communities grew and integrated.

But the humans were a jealous and greedy breed. They began to hunger for more information that they could not understand, they wanted more wealth and more power over naturally superior beings. One fateful year, a few bad human apples with a power complex decided that they needed to be the superior race.

They slowly started to impregnate the idea among humans that the super creatures were dangerous and propagated that these peaceful creatures needed to be leashed. They should be used for their abilities not to be allowed to live as equals.

People fear what they cannot control and people fear things they cannot understand.

So a Great War broke out and many lives were lost. One day all the supernatural creatures and those mated to them disappeared and with them so did the magic, the prosperity and the peace. All traces of these supernatural creatures disappeared with them only leaving behind memories.

It is said there was Great Prophecy set in stone by the first Dragon that spoke of the Great War and that the Creatures living in the shadows would once again live side by side the humans.

As the years rolled on, memories became stories. Stories told over time were reconstructed by the orators and became myths and legends, fiction spun on hopes and dreams of a different time. Fairytales were created and romanized.

The Humans continued to grow but so did their lustful desires, greed and hatred and ultimately despair. Diseases and war followed the humans like a parasite.

However, the Humans constant curiosity helped fuel a determination for advancement and eventually prosperity began to take shape. Humans have known to be resilient and have overcame every obstacle thrown at them. Humans survived and created their own utopia, advancing leaps and bounds by the 22nd century.

The stories of these creatures became bedtime stories, some twisted and turned dark to create fear in the littles to behave.

Parents would warn their children not to go out alone at night or misbehave because then the creatures would come out of the shadows and snatch them up never to be seen again.

Modern entertainment would dramatize the folklores for prophet skewing the imagination of the masses.

Many societies began to fantasize about the mythical creatures in the shadows and created fictional worlds to appease the ever growing need to satiate curiosity of that unknown world.

Humans have always been a greedy race.

Fast forward 250 years to today.

One of the most popular scary stories growing up was that Human teenagers were to be extra careful as it is said that the king of the shadows was looking for his virgin bride to fulfill a great prophecy that would bring back the creatures of the night and the king would become the ruler of all and the humans would be pushed into the shadows.

No creatures were lurking in the shadows, right?

So let's not dwell on the scary stories. Everyone loves a good happy fairy tale instead. How does it start? Oh, yeah Once Upon A Time... yeah fuck that shit.

This world is not a fairy tale with the handsome princes that rescue celestial pansy beauties who have borderline beastiality friendships with animals and sing merry little tunes and go 'oh woe is me'.
