Legends, stories scattered through time. Mankind has grown quite fond of recounting the exploits of heroes and villains. Forgetting so easily that we are remnants, byproducts of a forgotten past. Man born from dust, was strong, wise, and resourceful. But he was born into an unforgiving world. An inevitable darkness, creatures of destruction, the creatures of Grimm, set their sights on man and all of his creations. These forces clashed, and it seemed the darkness was intent on returning man's brief existence to the void. 

However, even the smallest spark of hope is enough to ignite change, and in time man's passion, resourcefulness, and ingenuity led them to the tools that would help even the odds. This power was appropriately named, Dust. Nature's rath in hand, man lit their way through the darkness, and in the shadows absence came strength, civilizations, and most importantly, life. But even the most brilliant lights eventually flicker and die. And when they are gone, darkness will return. So you may prepare your guardians, build your monuments to a so-called free world, but take heed. There will be no victory in strength. But perhaps, victory is in simpler things that you've long forgotten, things that require a quieter, more calculating, and bright soul.


"*Sigh*So this is what they call a heartwarming reunion, eh? Can't say I wasn't expecting this." Said a mysterious man as he walks through a hallway in a house that is dimly lit.

As the mysterious man kept walking, he noticed a picture that was framed on the wall. It had two adults, a kid in a red shirt,...and a kid in a blue shirt.

"Sometimes I wonder if someone would just...take me out on a date, instead of having to find him." The man says as we can see more of him. A red coat with a large sword on his back.

He walks down the hallway with his shoes tapping on the floor with each step. At the end of a hallway was a door with many designs.

*Creek!*

The man opens up the door and finds many different things like a bed, a mirror, and a balcony door. "Well, might as well check."

*Creek!*

"You're here." Says the mysterious man as he is behind the new person, which is sitting down on a chair.

"Yes, I am here. But you already knew that. Why are you here...little brother?" Says the man sitting down.

"Come on bro, time to get up from your beauty sleep. It's about time we test that "motivation" of yours." Says the man as he walks up to the other one.

"Foolish." The eloquent man says as he pushes the chair off himself, launching it toward the red-wearing man.

The chair comes right at the red-wearing man, but it suddenly is cut into two pieces. The pieces avoid the man as he continues his gaze toward the other man.
