A Tale of Determination

Prologue

Legends had it that Monsters and Humans had lived in the same world together.

They were once peaceful and loved to do everything almost together.

It was until one unfortunate day, a human found body parts of a dead child, one that belongs to their very own.

It was also on that day when the dust of the Prince of the Underground was scattered about in the King's throne room.

They later brought this upon the Monsters, who told them that they had nothing to do with the murder.

The Monster had also brought the death of their beloved Prince onto the Humans, which they claimed that they were not the ones to blame.

Neither race had believed what the other had spoken and declared a war against each other, stating that both races will perish in their own hands.

The Monsters retaliated with all their might and it continued years and years, neither side was unwillingly to give up what they had wanted, death or happiness.

But alas, the Humans had finally emerged to be the victors and they had banished all Monster to the Underground, sealing them within a magical spell. It was deemed impossible to leave.

Until, the King had issued a decree to capture all Humans who had fallen into their world. He had believed that taking their souls would destroy the barrier, allowing them to live on the surface once more.

But no matter how many souls he had gathered, it did not break the spell.

Years later, the Monster there began to adapt to the ways of living in the Underground. They had still believed that they would once more live on the surface, but at what cost?

It was until then, at the year of 20XX, two human boys climbed the mountain of Ebott, trying to find a place far, far, away from one's abusive parents. As they both enters the cave, one notices a hole and decides to examine it. The other warns him not to, fearing what might become of him.

The boy ignores his words and leans in closer. As he stepped closer, he slipped and fell into the hole, screaming. The other boy tried to grab him but fails as he plummets into the depths of it.

What becomes of them is now unfolding...
