In the beginning, there was Father Time. Where he came from is unknown. He created the universe, gifting it to his two twin children. Aravariella and Araxes began to create life on the earth. Aravariella created nature's beauty and the world's goodness. She was the one who gave everything that was light and good. Araxes though created darkness and destruction. He was jealous of his sister, for she was the favorite of their father, and vowed to destroy everything she created. So it began, she created something and then he created something to counter it. This continued until finally together they created the living souls, those who could think for themselves. In an attempt to make peace with her brother, Aravariella offered to allow him to place in each creation some weakness and darkness. The god Araxes agreed, though he had other plans.
But, the world was created with all its living things. There was a thousand years of peace. The twin gods ruled equally, yet Araxes chafed under these measures. He longed to have complete and utter control over everything. He was not allowed to destroy his own sister though, but he could however gain control through the living souls themselves. Thus, the dark source was created. Araxes chose one especially dark soul and gave that creature power unimaginable to most at that time. So it happened that darkness began to spread across the earth. Araxes' power was strong and very soon, the god would have had utmost control over all beings. He thought he was not untouchable, but not so.
Many years passed and Aravariella watched in sadness as her brother's darkness consumed the earth until only a small part remained unscathed. The goddess tried repeatedly to make peace with her brother, not wishing for the earth to be in eternal night. Araxes turned a cold ear to his sister's pleas and cries. Aravariella decided to fight fire with fire, looking for some great hero to carry her own power. After much search she found a strong warrior, a man leading his pitiful armies against Araxes' pet. Aravariella choose this man but she did not proceed as her brother had. Instead, she granted the man and his family her power through something called the Sky Gem.
Now the tables were turned as the warrior used his new power. The darkness was forced back and eventually Araxes' pet was killed. But Araxes simply choose a new bearer of his powers and started yet again. Now the two gods began a serious war between themselves over the earth. Aravariella knew that her brother would only destroy the earth and that Araxes could never have complete control.
Father Time watched this fight between his children and though he did not stop it, he did create some laws. The bearers of the twin's powers would know when the other used their abilities. That is to say, when the dark source was used then the Guardian would feel it. If the Guardian used the Sky Gem then the Keeper of the dark source would know about it. The Twin could also never tell their chosen ones about the other side. Araxes could not tell his pet where the Guardian was and vice versa for Aravariella and her Guardian.
As Father Time's laws could never be broken, it became so. But thus started the ancient warfare between the Keeper and the Guardian. But even now, the Keeper has grown stronger and darkness again may fall across the entire earth.
