Ugh.. this place is as good as dead.
Only bones everywhere.
We have to keep looking. Go over there.
If we're lucky, we might find a snake.
If you want to starve to death, you can stay here.
Fine, fine! I'm going.
Bingo!
Huh?! Who...
What are you?!
Ah, don't worry.
This isn't going to hurt one bit.
You're cra-
Grandma! Grandpa!
*yawns*
Shouldn't you rascals be asleep?
When are mom and dad coming back?
It could take a while, little one.
Hunting is not an easy task.
I want to hunt too!
The time will come soon, Cobalt.
You'll be a mighty lion, just like your grandfather.
I don't want to be like grandpa, he's old!
N-no offence...
Blaze!
*chuckles*
None taken.
Hey, I have an idea.
What?
To make the wait seem a bit shorter for you
how about I tell you a story?
A story?
What kind of story?
It's an ancient tale.
It has been told for generations and now it's time for you to hear it as well.
It is a story about our gods.
Gods? There's no such things!
Who told you that?
Dad.
Real or not, this is still a story worth listening to.
(Faolan V.O) At the beginning of our time
there was nothing but vast emptiness.
Darkness covered the land.
But in it, there was a small glimmer of light.
As the light grew bigger, the darkness fused with it
creating the first-ever creature that is known to exist.
We call him Father.
Father, after seeing all the emptiness around him
decided to create new creatures and begun to shape the world into what we know today.
In this process, he created three dominant species.
Equines...
...canines...
...and felines.
When Father was finally pleased with his work
he started to notice flaws in it.
The world was in constant chaos and disrupt as the species clashed between one another.
Father realised that balancing every aspect of all of existence
was too much, even for him.
So, he created six gods to act in his place,
each for a different aspect of life.
The first two gods were equine brothers.
A white pegasus...
...and a black mustang.
The pegasus was called Anam.
His task was to breathe life into every single creature that was born.
His brother, Kifo, had the opposite task.
He took life from the sick and elderly
and guided their souls to eternal rest in Father's Safe Haven.
The second pair of gods were wolves.
A brother and a sister.
The sister was called Cahaya.
She was a beautiful white wolf
whose coat glimmered in the sunlight like crystals.
She was the sun herder.
Meaning that her task was to bring up the sun each day
and guide it back down when her brother, Nox, started his work.
Nox was a black wolf.
who guarded the moon at night.
Last but not least were the feline brothers.
One was a giant white lion named Candor.
He was the guardian of luck and all good that existed.
During hard times
he would fill the hearts of the Earth with hope and optimism.
His brother,
like you already guessed,
was the opposite.
Malus
a black panther, who was the god of misfortune and evil.
He brought misery upon those who deserved it
but also kept the balance between good and evil
to follow nature's course.
His task was not to spread evil
but to guard it and unleash it, when needed.
(Ezra V.O) Hundreds of years went by
and Father was pleased with his offsprings' work.
Some gods, however
chose to choose heirs for themselves.
that would help them with their work and eventually
take over their role as gods when it was their time to go to Father's Haven.
Candor was the first god to do it.
And he chose a young leopard cub
named Tenebris as his apprentice.
The god taught him everything there was to being one.
As Tenebris grew up
his ambition and desire grew.
Candor had made becoming a god his only goal in life.
The other gods, Kifo being the first
saw the darkness in Tenebris's soul.
The feline didn't want to be a god to do good for others.
He only seeked power.
Tenebris was outraged by the accusations of the other gods
but Candor warned him not to take them seriously.
When Candor finally presented his apprentice to Father
the latter saw Tenebris through
and what he really was.
Cruel,
ambitious,
evil.
He rejected him and did not allow him to be Candors heir.
Tenebris, of course, was furious
and that's where his hatred for all gods began.
With the powers Candor had given him,
he gathered an army of supporters and made them turn against their rulers.
Tenebris had declared war upon Father and his children.
The other gods had no choice but to fight back
except for Candor.
He was still blind.
He could not bare to see what his apprentice, who he once called his son, had become.
He was obligated to destroy everything he had created.
But how could he?
(Faolan V.O) Tenebris had become powerful.
So powerful, that he was now a match for a god.
Malus went into battle against him, but...
...was defeated.
Candor finally saw the real Tenebris.
As he had been the one to train the apprentice
he had given him powers
and that made him the only one who could take those powers away from him.
However, as Candor was about to do so
something strange happened.
As Malus's spirit faded away
unbearable pain struck through Tenebris's body.
As he withered on the ground in agony
his coat turned pitch black.
For he had killed the god of darkness
he had become one himself.
His dream had finally been fulfilled.
But not in the way anyone would have expected.
Candor knew that Tenebris was still full of hatred
and wanted revenge.
He called the other gods together
and they used their powers
to cast a powerful spell on Tenebris
that would seal him away into a dark abyss for all of eternity.
Shall he ever break free
only the gods can stop him again.
That's it?
What happened next?
Tenebris had been defeated
but Candor was miserable.
So many innocent lives had been lost in the endless battle.
Among them his own brother
and he had lost his apprentice.
The one who he had treated as his own son.
One day
the gods could no longer find him.
Not even Father himself.
And he was never found again.
(Ezra V.O) Some say that he died of grief
and his soul is wandering Father's Haven.
Others like to think that he left the Earth
and although he cannot be seen
he's still out there,
guarding us.
But what all the other gods knew, for sure,
was that he disappeared
and never came back.
Will he ever come back?
Maybe one day...
