In the beginning, there was "darkness."

Then, the "darkness" shed a "tear."

From that "tear," the brothers Sword and Shield were born.

Shield claimed it could defend against any attack.

Sword claimed it could slice through anything.

The brothers began a legendary battle.

At the end, both Sword and Shield shattered.

Sword became the sky, Shield became the earth, and the sparks from the battle became the stars.

As for the jewels, they fell to the ground and became the True Runes--The runes that all other runes were born from.

A warrior takes sword in hand, clasping a gem to his heart...

Engraving vanishing memories into the sword,

He places finely honed skills into the stone.

Spoken from the sword, handed down from the stone,

Now the story can be told...
