I. In the Beginning
In the beginning were the Guardians. Powerful were they, in the beginning. Down to Terra they came, and saw that it was good. So they created humanity, male and female; in their own image they created them. In their image were we created. But not all of the Guardians were pleased. Some saw humanity as hopelessly inferior and pointless in their creation. These Guardians rebelled, and were defeated, and they were driven back whence they came. They were no longer known as Guardians, but were called Demons, Monsters, Fallen Guards.
The Guardians saw humanity and said, "It is not good for humanity to be alone, without companions of their own. We must make for them companions." So the Guardians made companions for the humans, and these were called animals. But some of the Guardians realized that the animals and humans would grow too numerous, and others simply did not like the humans, so they made animals to hunt others, both animal and human. They created food for both animal and human, and these they called plants. And the Guardians looked at all they had made and saw that it was good.
Then humanity, for they were brave explorers, spread to all corners of Terra and even beyond. Some even ventured far enough to reach the home of the Guardians, where the Demons were now kept. This was not good, so the Guardians set up barriers to keep the Demons from leaving their home, and the humans from entering it. So humanity multiplied and spread, and the Guardians also multiplied in order to watch over humanity, and the Demons also multiplied.
But as the humans advanced further, and the demons advanced further, they found a barrier in their way. The humans did not remember why the barrier had been put in place, so they tried to destroy it. They failed, but the barrier was now weakened in a spot near the island of Amelia. So they sent scientists to study the barrier and discover how to destroy it.
The Demons were also attempting to destroy the barrier. Their efforts, combined with the humans' own, finally resulted in breaching the barrier. A portal was opened on the island of Amelia, allowing Demons to escape into Terra for the first time in many thousands of years.
