In the last era, there were three Superpowers that dominated the lands on which we are gathered- the Sun, the Moon, and the Star. The rulers of these Kingdoms were no less than Gods themselves; they were carefully selected individuals who were thought to have been gifted at birth with immense powers and knowledge. During the many years of their reign, the civilians worshiped them endlessly and respected their every word with great adoration for their kingdoms. They resided with each other in mutual understanding and diplomatic peace.
The Sun was mighty and gallant. The Moon was judicious and temperate. The Star was dazzling and compassionate. However, order was destroyed for what ensued threw these forces into an endless turmoil of hatred and vengeance. Enraptured by the beauty of the Star, the Sun and Moon struggled against each other in attempts to win her heart. Unfazed by their efforts, Star remained neutral, frustrating Moon to no end. This led to Star's abduction, which was carried out so lousily that even the Sun, thousands of miles away, discovered the truth behind her disappearance. Benevolent with rage, the Sun immediately reacted without thought. The very night when Sun unleashed his fury was recalled as the most abhorrent mistake of all history. As described by an elderly citizen of the Star; the darkness that devoured the land that night seemed all too overwhelming for anyone to withstand. The earth trembled as hoards of troops marched in unison through the lifeless streets. Their goal was all too clear. The very next day as the sun rose again, nothing was what it used to be. A metallic scent hung heavy in the air, so strong that no one spoke a word. The Moon suffered a great loss, therefore, seeing this attack as a declaration of war they struck back with equal ferocity. For the coming years, war raged through the lands. Houses were burnt down, farmlands emptied of life, rivers contaminated with disease, lands stripped of its rich natural resources... and the innocent lives of civilians sacrificed due to the mere selfishness of their rulers. Star could not tolerate this behavior anymore. She condemned how the war destroyed everything that was once cherished, how it involved her people and tore apart families. Most of all, she condemned the 'reason' for the commencement of this devastating battle- herself. One day, finally, she decided to put an end to the barbarity of war. "If I am the cause of all this pain inflicted upon my people, then I shall perish in their stead." Taken off-guard by Star's suicide, Sun and Moon began to contemplate their actions. They came to the realization that if they do not end this war, everything would disappear. Everything they have slowly culminated over the years, and the very woman that they loved - gone. Finally, the anger of the two leaders subsided, and an agreement was formed- that aggression between the three lands would ultimately come to an end. A new light returned to those who had survived this tragedy, and today, in honor of the legacies they have left behind, and this new-found peace- we join together as one in this era: 'Taihousen'. |
