Never thought I'd actually start this story, ah well... :)

Prologue

Many believe that two major forces dictate our lives: Good and Evil. That their eternal struggle for dominance and for the complete destruction of the other has created our legacy and heritage, since the ancient times, to the present days and continuing into the future. Some of us however, think that by stubbornly believing that only these two forces dictate our lives, we're grasping into childish beliefs. No force can exist without its counterpart: that everyone agrees in. Good and Evil are eternal enemies, neither willing to give ground to the other. Our existence is constantly endangered by their eons-old quarrel. We live our lives with a war above our heads, like an ever-present Damocles sword. But there is always a middle way….

For the skeptical, let's bring an example: Evil comes to invade a world. Good tries to start a rebellion, kept on hold by Evil. Evil clouds the mind of the people, thus gaining more and more ground. And then, unexpectedly a third force arises: someone, whose soul is of kindness, but soon becomes hunted, because of an ancestor's choice made long ago. How can we name this phenomenon? Good? Not solely. Evil? Surely no. Is it a "mutation" of the two forces? A Good-Evil combination? Or is it just the aforementioned golden middle? Some tend to call it names: Balance, Order, but these too have counterparts. The third force doesn't have a name, it just exists…unseen at most times by the other two, acting only when its needed to keep the world from collapsing under the constant quarrel between Good and Evil.

As the struggle for complete dominance continues, Evil finds his way: it tries to lure her to him, so that she may be turned against their enemies. Battles are fought, and with her help Good prevails, and Evil suffers defeat. Another page of our history has been completed, this time not solely written by Good or Evil. Some may call it a day from here, seeing the answers stated above, they would think they know everything by now. How wrong they are…for there is-at least-one more question present. If we are to believe the existence of something beyond Good and Evil, logically the question arises: How can one force stand between the two? The answer, though hard to believe, is as simple as the question: there has to be more than one emissary acting for the purpose of the third force. Knowingly, unknowingly…it doesn't matter, as it never did. None of us know what fate has in store for us, whether our actions will help Good, Evil, or the between…

As we speak, time continues, history is being pushed forward by the acts of the three forces. Destinies cross each other throughout the universe, like a spider's web, forever getting thicker and denser. Choices are made, some of them instantly bringing result, while the rest only set a path for the future. This is our heritage, the so-called "book" of our history. A new page has been started, destined to be the conclusion of an act performed thousands of years ago. An act which has tied countless destinies together, and not only invoke the third force, but is also pushing the two major forces into an inevitable confrontation. The final scene in this grandiose play is only a little bit further now…

And with this final accord, our story continues…
