Introduction
In the beginning all was Dark…
then Light exploded into being
and Life spawned from the spark
A million billion worlds were formed
in Light’s ever-expanding play
and countless creatures swarmed
But mindless Dark grew ravenous
to swallow up all Light and Life
restoring emptiness
Then Dark invaded Light’s domain
deforming Life to mete out Death
through beings warped with pain
Light wavered under Dark’s onslaught
Such Shadows rose, the flame of Life
seemed doomed to gutter out
So Light divided into lights
and hid itself among the worlds
away from Darkness’ sight
We are those lights—the chosen ones;
we thwart the creatures of the Dark
lest Shadows rise again
