Once, at the beginning of the world, there lie two Goddesses who worked in harmony to make the world. These Goddesses were named Chaos, and Creation. Both got along well, but Creation soon tired of Chaos's constant destruction and instead created an alternate dimension for the woman, one called The Shadows. It mirrored the first world in many ways, but gave Chaos the ability to destroy as much as she chose without using all of her power to ruin the first world. And so, every time Chaos would find herself bored of causing small amounts of destruction in the first world to keep it in harmony, she would head back to her own decimated world, stirring the world into the darkness as she pleased. Of course, Creation would come along occasionally to make sure to keep the world inhabitable and stable, but for the most part it remained in ruin and darkness, holding the most unholy of creatures away from the world of light.
This was all just legend though, or so everyone believed. It was fate that brought two girls, both strangers, into a predicament that left them both terrified. You see, a rip between the worlds opened one fateful day, and the two who had been simply been riding in an empty train car found themselves thrown into the world of darkness, changed into creatures of the darkness by such a transition. All other people had vanished, having not gone through the rift, nor seen it. And unluckily for the ladies, the rift closed soon after their arrival, leaving them stranded in this new world with a new appearance. It was there that they realized they would have to band together to escape this place: The Shadows.
