-------------------------------------------------------------------

Nearly sixteen billion years ago, a massive war betwen the two penultimate races, the Creation and the Void, nearly annihilated all of existence. The entire planet had been consumed by war, and many races and species were completely wiped out. In the final hours of the war, a hero sent by the gods known only as Azarael appeared with a small group of powerful warriors appeared and, at the cost of their lives, set forth and brought peace to Mondane, banishing the Creation and the Vod forever into the depths of the unknown. The hero Azarael knew that this peace could not last and with his last breath declared that one day he would be reborn, and when that days comes, true peace will come to the planet. Thus being said, he sent forward into the timestream of the future five seals that would protect both forever against the return of the Creation and the Void, and that would symbolize his return unto the world.

-------------------------------------

Since the death of the hero Azarael, Moondane has always had wars and skirmishes going on all over the planet; only five years ago, the greatest threat to the magical world of Moondane to ever occur has appeared. Human demon slayers, from another dimension of existence, have invaded into this one, and have spread out all over the planet, seeking to annihilate all of demonkind in the word, to, as they say, "prevent the spread of further wars by killing off the source of hatred". They believe that by killing off the demons, the constant wars will stop, and peace will come to the world. The demons and other creatures nonhuman were hit hard and fast, and thus their numbers were heavily decimated. The invaders have brought with them new, never-before-seen technologies and methods, some of them even with magical abilities themselves, to the art of demon slaying, and even some power-hungry demons are killing off their own kind. The demons, warlike by nature, have not been able to organize themselves well enough to stop fighting long enough to mount a resistance; it truly looks as if the end is nigh.

Over the past couple of weeks, odd things have started occurring, things that will draw heavy attention even in a world of magic and demons. The scholars are running frightened; the faithful believe that the hero Azarael is finally returning to the world, to annihilate the invaders and to restore peace to the planet of Moondane. Thus, the attention of the entire world has now turned to the most magical place on earth, Passou Island, where the Hero Azarael was said to have first appeared, and to have died, both in anticipation and fear.

Among the humans and demons, everybody is being forced to make a choice on where they desire to stand. Some seek to help alog the annihilation of demons, in hopes of eliminating the warlike nature that seems to be behind the start of every war. Others aim to try and find the hero Azarael, supporting him in a way that will help both humans and demons find peace. There are several traveling around the world as healers, to bring a light to as many lives as they can in these dark times. More choose to merely go their own way, watching the world burn as they seek power. Only a few care nothing for the current events of the world, still trying to avoid the war consuming the planet. What will you do?

Shadows of The Past and Future is a site based more on the personal stories of the member charries than it is the cannons. The cannons, the shadows of the past who have lived throughout history, are the Shadows of the Past; they hold the secrets of the world; of murky secrets that have been left untold for centuries; those that have lived for centuries, hiding in secret among the normal people of the world. The Shadows of the Future are the member characters, the new generation who will inherit the earth, and while for them the future is shadowy and unknown, it will be them who brings light to the darkness and chases away all the shadows-

The Shadows of Past and Future.
