We recount that the continent was blessed before the lands separated into two, there was only one nation before that the four guardians loved to watch upon.
Different beliefs, different regions, weather, and conditions. Thus two countries were established and wars that ravaged both sides saddened the guardians who only wanted what was best for the people.
People of Taiyou worship the Azure dragon, while the people of Jīnhǔ worship the white tiger.
People of Taiyou custom tradition and nobility, whilst the people of Jīnhǔ choose the strongest as their leader.
Taiyouns pride themselves in their literacy prowess through education, and Jīnhǔans boast of their progressive education through experiences.
The continuous streams of hostility, pride, competition, and greed between the two countries were only silenced when a prophecy descended.
The gates will open, and people will suffer
Worse than death, people will wail and plead the heavens
For those who harbor desires that go against the gods
But to save these people
Whom is born of golden lining,
lived with a radiant prospect
a flower brought to change the tides of horizons...
"Nii-san, does that vision pertain to an ugly monster!? A big ugly monster?!"
The older brother looked at his little sister in awe. Telling stories about the continent was his sister's favorite bedtime story. One that amazes and makes her giddy but never fails to make her slumber.
"Yes, and that demon will come if you don't sleep now Grahh!!"
The bright hair of the two flickered against the dark night, laughs echoing inside the makeshift house, he tickled his sister and the other gave a hearty laugh. Flaring hair was shadowed by the candles of the room. The burning color of the small fire contrasts with the most beautiful duo of shining orange hair.
Shouyou, the older brother, plants a soft kiss on his sister's forehead and pats her to sleep.
But nobody knows that this is where it begins, the tale of a thousand-year-long war that broke hearts and lulled people endlessly after death and after death.
