The world was full of chaos and darkness. No light or good, just darkness and despair, no trust or truth only dishonesty and hate; in a world like this everyone lived in the shadows in fear or were out praising the darkness in the hunt for more chaos. No one sang, no one laughed if not for insanity that filled others and let them cackle in shadows as they filled their souls with sins. All was chaos and darkness, and all was ruled and watched over by the ancient and terrible ruler, Chaos herself. Chaos was a beautiful woman in a black hood and cape that turned into a serpent who lived on fear and insanity and all negative activities done in her realm of shadows. All the shadows hid in the darkness in stained dark hooded cloaks that helped them hide in the shadows and darkness of the realm.

One "day", inside the deep and dark city of shadows, a group of pure souls,that struggled to survive, came together to do what no other would ever think of doing. They came together in robes made in the purest of silk and joined hands together and made a flame in the darkness that lighted up the shadows and revealed their now pure and white non-hooded robes. They people were known as the givers as the light protected those that stay away from the chaos or the shadow realm and insanity.

Once Chaos herself heard of this band of heroes, she went to go exterminate them one by one, removing their hope. They kept the flame alive because they knew that she could not touch it or she would loose her forever beauty. Once they were all but one murdered by the serpent witch, she went after the giver of the light, the only one that lived with the hope and gave the people the spark that they needed to keep on going and not to loose their minds to the chaos and insanity. She was known as Hope, a beautiful woman in a flowing white dress that can become a swan with wings so big that they could wrap around the humans she protected.

Once Chaos reached Hope, she charge at her with her giant fangs and wicked smile. Hope took her wings and flew into the sky as Chaos chased her down. They fought in the darkness of the night and the battle went on for six cycles of the twenty four hours. As the two fought their vicious battle, the people of the realm stopped their chaos and looked at them in amazement as the two beautiful titans battled with great power.

After the long and exhausting battle the two powerful beings returned to their human states and fall to their knees all scratched up and bruised. The people of the realm look as their two challengers look at each other with tired and empty eyes. They finally let go of their remaining strength and fall to the ground, exhausted and as fallen heroes in their own ways.

The beautiful woman in the white dress slowly vanishes into a small ball of soft glowing light. The beautiful woman in the black cloak vanished into a dark ball of soft glowing shadow. The people in the realm were confused on what has happened before their very own eyes. The two balls of energy flew high into the dark sky and exploded into a giant pulse of energy that knocked everyone in the realm into an unconscious state.

No one really knows what happened after that other than the fact that everyone awoke in a different realm with a big ball of light in the sky that gave a warm feeling to all and a big ball in the sky that gave a mysterious feeling to all. The people were confused in how they got into this realm and why at a time there is a big light time and a relaxing big dark time. They say that the fallen heroes look upon their children as the now called "sun and moon". In the shadows of the night, Chaos watches over her children of destruction and still feed on their negative emotions and insanity. In the bright light of the day, Hope keeps watching over her children and followers, keeping then safe in anyways that she can.

Every 3 years or so, the powerful gods or the sky meet once again for a short yet powerful and blinding battle. The moment when Chaos tries to battle Hope once again and tried to cover her world once again in her beautiful darkness but fails every time. It has said that one day Hope will finally give out and Chaos will rain supreme once again and throw her realm back in the shadows of darkness.
