~ Many lifetimes ago, the people and creatures of the world followed the ways of nature and peace. A golden power enriched the land with fertile fruits and shady trees.

Then, one day, a human of great evil tried to claim the golden power, for to control it was to control the earth itself.

It was a time of darkness, as that man's dark influence spread through the sky. Crops failed, families were torn apart, and swarms of monsters ravaged the land.

The people could do nothing but appeal to the Good Spirits of nature and love, who they believed to watch over them.

As though by divine providence, a hero appeared. Walking like a beast but speaking like a man, the hero took up the blade of evil's bane... somehow. With the help of the Good Spirits, he released the golden power from the evil man's grasp and returned it to the earth, so that peace may once again govern the lives of people and creatures.

But, as the Good Spirits knew, it was not that simple. For the hearts of men had been corrupted, and all knew that ultimate power could be freely obtained. The innocence of the world vanished in the era that followed as humans lied fought and killed one another in search of the sacred realm where the treasure lay.

In a quiet village beyond the civilized centers of human quarreling, the people who cling to the old ways still pray to the Good Spirits to send another hero, one who would defeat the nameless evils guiding humanity, and deliver them from the lure of the golden power... ~
