1 In the Beginning

The earth's core has been infiltrated by darkness which has never been known until the rise of the Great Shadow and its prophecies. It was believed that the Great Shadow existed from the darkness's kinds but without a heart or will to destroy. It's like darkness sprouted goodness when it felt like exploding from the core looking for something to invade. It seemed that darkness created its foe and willed balance on earth. Inhabitants believed that darkness was similar to the god of light who was deceived by its kind.

This Kind, a part of the darkness that went out from the core and mingled with the inhabitants, learned the ways of living on earth and traveled across countries for a long time, gaining knowledge and powers. With the desire to change how inhabitants live and think, it schemed and misled them to do nefarious acts. This Kind believed darkness should not stay in the abyss, fostering the essence of its existence which is nothingness. This Kind believed darkness is paramount and omnipotent.

Living for a hundred years outside the core, This Kind empowered himself above anyone else and continuously got stronger. In preparation for its final ascent to overrule the world, it inhabited the country of Sibu, infiltrated the government, brainwashed, and used every one of its own volition and purpose. It's frightening how he became so much stronger and silently spread malevolence. Its insurmountable and incomprehensible power lead to an unfathomable incident. An enigmatic dark fragment emerged from its shadow form and almost extinguished half of its power—the birth of the Great Shadow.

After the birth of the Great Shadow, it stayed on earth like a passing energy and yielded its life through innate power and mana. While This Kind gets unfathomably powerful, the Great Shadow fragment also yielded and started to have a shadow body form like This Kind. The birth of the Great Shadow wasn't in the very plan of This Kind but due to its endless cultivation of power—hence, it was born. This Kind either feared or made it a companion since it neither sided the light nor the darkness. It was still from its energy. All it needs is just to stay in This Kind's shadow. The Great Shadow fragment was a gamble of fate.

While This Kind is gaining massive power and sovereignty above the core, terror and chaos overwhelmed the earth. For almost 200 years, the war between light and darkness brought extensive slaughter to the inhabitants of different countries. This Kind scattered its armies in different regions and cautiously prepared for a great final war. Without enough wizards and soldiers to protect, it was impossible to survive.

Things turn into something expected and unpredictable when the Great Shadow's prophecy came out after so many years and claimed to the oracles of Sibu—the emergence of the White Dragon that will defeat the darkness. The White Dragon will arise in between light and darkness, from the uncharted realm of earth and space. Its golden eyes will blind the devouring darkness and its colossal wings will shield the righteous inhabitants. Its fiery breath defeats destruction and its icy cool breath heals impressively. The golden heart bears the hope and mercy that will vanquish all the evil in the world. The core of the past will be broken however, the remainder and things to come have to pay the price.

For almost 300 years of preparation of finally taking over, This Kind fell into ruin when it was devoured by its kind from the core. It was betrayed.

It was believed that when the Great Shadow was born, the core has started to crack and slowly penetrated by light due to the massive power emitted by This Kind. Believing This Kind became colossal and indestructible, the others tried to reach it and devour it to create a new barrier and fix the crevices. They took advantage of the small openings and dwell on earth.

Before This Kind was fully devoured by the darkness, it emitted an outlandish aura that overwhelmed the darkness for a few seconds and time stopped. This Kind, emerging from the eminent strange energy, crawled up to the White Dragon and penetrated its golden heart; it was a spur-of-the-moment on earth but enough time for This Kind. The White Dragon has become a monstrous creature and emitted immense energy, giving off formidable light and started to annihilate only the darkness. It was the last of This Kind's power that saved the inhabitants and broke the core. However, with This Kind's dark nature, the White Dragon's golden heart was infected and cursed, and slowly rotten. It was the end of the White Dragon's cavalry and the repeat of the horror in the future.

The White Dragon lost its immortality to the inhabitants and disappear in the air with its ashes being dragged by the wind. There was no evidence that This Kind has been vanquished and believed that it still exists in the present time. The White Dragon that once a savior of the earth will return possessing no majestic heart but This Kind's power. The prophecy of the Great Shadow imparted early destruction of the world.

The White Dragon was once a savior but has been forever defied with the credence of its destructing power in the future. It's disheartening the fate of goodness was overshadowed by disbelief, terrors, doubts.

The inhabitants embody light while nothingness embodies darkness. It was a fight that lasted for long hundreds of years, generation to generation. After the great war, nobody aimed for individual power to lead. Thus, continuous loss and suffering. Fear of the darkness and the unknown has been the main enemy of the inhabitants. Knowing that the Great Shadow still exists, it was neither fear nor assurance of the things happening in the future. The Great Shadow's existence has been neither a disaster nor a blessing but most of the oracles and wizards patronize the Great Shadow as a great being.

After the White Dragon vanished, it was believed that a prophecy has been claimed but was unannounced to the general inhabitants. The last truth to hold was the return of the White Dragon.
