Creation and destruction two things that must always exist but keeping balance can be difficult.
To keep this balance there were two powerful beings, Zarc and Ray. Ray the embodiment of peace, harmony and most importantly life. Zarc was her opposite who ruled over and brought chaos, destruction, violence and death. They both did their jobs well but as time wore on Ray couldn't help but notice the shift in balance, things were slowly becoming more chaotic, there was so much more anger and fighting. The fights themselves were becoming more brutal.
Zarc had grown tired of staying in the background, he loved the praise and the cheers from the people and the roar of battle. Of course he was soon confronted by Ray who wanted him to stop, that there needed to be a balance but Zarc wouldn't listen. Soon they began to fight and during it Zarc summoned his four horseman to fight against Ray's four guardians of the land. Eventually Ray got the upper hand and brought and end to Zarc. Though it would only be temporary. Over time the horseman would return and with them their master- Zarc- would follow but so would her guardians.
