Was yours brought on by Celestials and Archfiends too?
[Darin turns and leans back against his own work bench, crossing his arms across his chest.]
In my world...there's a prophecy.
[He clears his throat. He's heard this prophecy his entire life, so reciting it comes easy. It helps that it's in verse.]
'Seven souls from a silvery moon. Seven heralds of impending doom. The Earth shall heave, the heavens shall cry. The time is now, the world shall die.'
[He sighs.]
Legend dictates that before my world was created, there was a war between the Celestials and the Archfiends for dominance of all of the realms. Being evenly matched, both sides met in council. The seven strongest of the Celestials met with the seven strongest Archfiends and decided that their war would be decided by a third party. With that, they pooled their powers and created my world, then created humanity.
They would watch humanity grow and thrive and if we wiped each other out, then the Archfiends would be declared the winners and have rightful claim over all the realms. If we managed to stave off global war and self-annihilation for five thousand years, the Celestials win and peace would befall all of the realms.
