Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

Nothingness

Darkness, simply put, an absence of everything.

Empty, yet full of potential.

A great light descended from the heavens. Then everything, all at once.

Light becomes matter, matter becomes life.

A strange world sprung up from the darkness, a world of strange beings that seems to be sapient stars, and even stranger horned beings.

Despite this, they lived peacefully. Building a stunning society of gears and clockwork.

And yet... They didn't like this.

They were unhappy, They didn't like the fact that these beings were evolving at too rapid of a pace.

Or was it because They fear the potential ability of these beings to overthrow Them? 

It didn't matter. They casted out Their hard work, causing the realms to fall into disarray.

The stars went berserk, fuelled by an urge to destroy their counterparts. The horned beings were caught in the crossfire, slowly being picked off one by one.

This... disaster was almost expected to ruin this once wondrous place. And yet... 

Some starfolks managed to escape this horrid curse. Some managed to break free of their strings and choose their own destiny. 

This is a tale of two of these freed starfolks.

Dual-type yet bound by polarity 

Separate yet equal

Fire and ice, lightning and wind

Claws and swords

Dark and light

Two opposite beings, freed of their strings, working together to overthrow this Tyrant God.

This is a tale... of Two Puppets' Dance.
