There was once an age when light reigned supreme. Its radiance spread across the heavens, burning so brightly that shadows fled and people forgot that they had ever existed. People called this state of affairs “peace”. However, peace born of blindness is merely silence before the storm. For in the shadows where light did not dare to venture, darkness stirred; not as evil, but as memory. The forgotten pulse of creation itself waited and watched, whispering to the void that the world had lost its symmetry. When the first shadow rose again, the sky trembled not in fear, but in recognition. Unab(Storyline via IGDB)
