~Contest Story: The world is beginning to crumble right beneath our fee- *cough* paws. Even worse, the skies are becoming darker, the shadows longer, and the screams of the dying are getting louder. As you breathe, your soul is being torn. This world, this beloved world that you were graced with is degrading. It's becoming a nightmare. A dream without escape.~

You must first choose a side: Lightness or Darkness. The Lightness seeks to defeat the Darkness that roams about this troubled earth. If this side is not careful, everything that was once treasured will be nothing but darkness and blood. They seek for sanctuary. Peace. Beginning. A Paradise. Now, the Darkness on the other hand, seeks for destruction. Domination. Sin. An end. They are shaped by fallen dreams. Some say they represent the lost souls of the dead themselves.

You must choose a "vessel": Both sides contain gods/goddesses, messengers of the gods/goddesses, victims of both sides, and prisoners/slaves of both sides.
