Earth. A modern-day, technology-run world with little, if any room for such whimsical ideas as magic and impossible creatures. Yet, they exist, living among the humans undetected. It is a world, a realm we all know well. But it is far from the only one out there.
Connected to the place so many of us call home is a mirror realm. A realm cultivated when Earth was still new to the creation of fire. Its continents and their divisions mimic our own. Even their names bear a resemblance to ours if read from right to left. But, unlike our world, this realm is run by magic and creatures of lore. Here, what we accomplish with technology, they succeed at with sorcery. Magic runs through the very core of this realm, a realm its denizens call Htrea.
In Htrea, both humans and supernatural beings live and work side-by-side knowingly and willingly. At least, most of them do. It is from here most of Earth's supernatural creatures originated, many stumbling or traveling to Earth in an era long past. Travel allowed through access to now well-guarded portals.
For just as long as their existance, rules have been laid down to keep the supernatural beings from harming humans. While they can roam free within Htrea so long as they maintain peace, on Earth, they have been forced to keep to the shadows. After all, Earth's humans are far more simple- and closed-minded. There was no telling how such primitive, destructive creatures as Earth's humans would react to discovering the true existence of creatures they quickly dismissed as lore.
But not everyone follows the rules. Some strive to break them. In Htrea, wars have erupted between those who support living alongside humans, and supernaturals who believe humans are meant only to be dominated and used for sustenance as they see fit. To this day, hate crimes are committed daily against humans. Though law enforcement has been established, patrolling the streets and investigating murders and other crimes with keen eyes, even some of them—and their leaders—have fallen to corruption.
Despite the occasional raids and wars between clans, races, and even the occasional entire towns, Htrea has lived in a time of relative peace for nearly a hundred years. For just as long, Earth has had few "supernatural" disturbances, only the irregular creature going rogue.
But a period of peace is always bound to shatter.


When both realms were yet new, a man arose from amidst the chaos of development. He displayed powers and magic beyond anything anyone had ever seen. But slowly, he fell into corruption, playing with and altering things that aught not be tampered with. His mind and body twisted until he was little more than a shell, a suit for the powers of death and destruction incarnate.
Even in Htrea, it is a tale that has sunk into little more than a fairy tale. A fable told to children to warn them against dabbling in forbidden arts.
Alas, it is far more than a fairy tale.
Locked away in a chasm between the realms in a time even the rocks have begun to forget, this evil has begun to stir. Freed of his prison, this vile monster has only one desire: to bring humanity and other weaker species to their knees. He will stop at nothing until he sees the streets of Earth and Htrea run red with the blood of his enemies and humans alike.
But all hope is not lost.


For as long as this ancient evil has existed, so too has a prophesy accompanied the stories. A prophesy speaking of a young man and woman destined to meet. Of two powerful souls designed to be strong apart, yet unstoppable together. Side by side, they will free the good this evil has locked away and strives to extinguish, and conquer one of the greatest of threats. Together, when the time came, only they could stand against the ancient powers and maintain peace on Earth and in Htrea.
For just as long, those who reject order among humans have hunted this prophetic couple. Known to the people of Htrea as the Destined Ones, many wars have been raged whenever rumors of their birth arose. But all have failed, for their time to live had not yet come to pass.
Now, these two have been born, separated as they grew with their own families, neither knowing the great destiny that awaits them. Though they come from different races—and even different realms—fate will see them together not a moment too soon.
If they cannot accept their fate—or each other—and find a way to stop this evil before they become his next victims, both Htrea and Earth as we know it will fall.
But the ancient evil lurks close at their tails, intent on destroying the Destined Ones. With the ruthless shadow of the embodiment of death already stretching across Htrea, can these two youths once more shed light and hope to the world and rise up as heroes against the impossible, or will the darkness consume the the realms around them?
