Chrysalis

In an age long past,
the world was suffocating under the crushing grip of war.
Only the efforts of the idealistic Avalonian Empire were enough
to bring the warm embrace of peace to the land and lead it
toward a new age of prosperity.

Fate itself brought together those whose lives were filled with hope
and those whose duty sent them from the harsh north.
As they locked eyes, the Crystal shed forth an immense light
that filled the land, drowning everything in silence.

And then, the world was sundered into light and darkness.
