Imagine a wonderful land, a vast place split in two by a border that holds the two kingdoms of Light and Dark apart. Imagine, among the light, lightly tanned humans, toiling about as they work at their daily chores, and in the dark, charcoal black people doing the same. For you, it's hard to see in the dark, as you are accustomed to the light, but remember this. Those people, standing in the dark? They can't see in our light, it's sort of like a reverse world for them. They take drinks from a river that, strangely to you, seems to reverse its direction every once in a while.
Now imagine a war, a great war that has these two places battling one another. Sounds strange that they would fight, when they seem to be so peaceful, right? Well, it is strange, and I will tell you why. Sit down upon the log, my child, and I will tell you the tale of this place.
It may take a while to understand, so go over it in your mind many a time, until you finally grasp it. The fact is, there is a very strange reason for the war to begin. And don't jump to any conclusions, my child.
The two kingdoms, Light and Dark, as described, were once at a very tense peace, they didn't really have much of a reason to like each other, but they truly wouldn't be happy living in the other people's shoes. As, if you remember, light can't see in dark, and vice versa. So why battle?
Treasure. The two kingdoms both had a ruler, an immortal ruler, who each held in their grasps their kingdom's beautiful treasure, in which nobody, not even I, know much about. It was shrouded in secrets, as the kings tried to keep their peace.
But, as expected, good can't stay good for long, and eventually, the treasures disappeared. Both kings, distressed, arranged a meeting, in which they gathered together. They discussed what happened, and, to keep the people from panicking, actually agreed to a war. During this war, they would each be sending those whom they trusted to search for the treasure. And thusly, the war began. Now, I myself am not excellent at going into the details, but trust me, this was a big time in the history of these two kingdoms.
