The Aura - the single-binding force of the universe, the life bond of every single creature, whether human or otherwise, the ancient mystical force of the galaxy. A force that cannot be seen at all, but can only be felt around the environment, the surrounding. It is said that without it, the universe will die and burn and fade into the darkness from which it spawned from. Some are almost oblivious to the life brewing above them, unknowing of the force that exerted the natural influences of the galaxy, much less the world.
Then there are those with a higher perception to it, those that know of its existence and of its ubiquitous abilities. And those are the ones that can unlock its ancient mysteries. We call them 'Twilights', obviously referring to the use of Aura in different ways. Aura is not just a mystical force, but it is also used as a way of living through it in order to achieve a nirvana and an enlightenment that can truly ascend them to a peaceful afterlife. Shinigami, or followers of the Aura, are twilights that have devoted themselves to learning the higher aspects of Aura, regarding it as a gift from above.
And then there were others who saw Aura as a means to an end, a way to solve their own problems either through sheer brutality, or by manipulation and deception. Remaining in the shadows of quiet obscurity, they call themselves 'The Veil'. Using Aura as their primary tool, they believe themselves superior because they treat it as something that bends to their will, not the other way around. Some strengthened their connection with slaughters, perfectly crafted ideas and events that would benefit themselves, and even dealt countless blows and set backs to the Shinigami Society. Atop of the upper echelon, the darker masters and the assassins and hunters, and on the very top, stood the Shadow Lords above all.
Three thousand years ago, far from the modern society of now, existed the original Veil. The Veil that existed then were far more powerful, and it truly turned them into something that they weren't before. The Veil were an amalgamation of twilights that had fallen from the path of enlightenment, taking Aura into their own desires and uses, formulating their own culture. They became the first to rebel, the first to revolt from their masters, and the first to feel the crippling effects of the dark side of Aura. Among them lived one of the most infamous fallen twilights - Marik Ishtar, who soon became Shadow Lord Marik. His rise to power marked the beginning of what was called the Fallen Wars. A series of wars that placed the Shinigami knights against his dark forces and his control over the dark side of Aura.
After five intense and long years, neither of the forces were gaining the upper hand. Where they predicted that some would die from both sides, much more had fallen in battle, over eight times what was expected. It was not a battle - it was a slaughter. Neither side, light or dark, had anything to gain from the war. And so, the Elder Gods interfered for the first time in their history, ending the tragic war and imprisoning Marik inside of a chamber deep inside the battlegrounds. But the price had been too great - so many shinigami had died, so many lost to the Aura, the Shinigami went into a period of recession in order to increase their forces again...
But the forces hadn't recovered enough, as suddenly, word of twilights being killed within the shadows of Aura reached them. Alongside Master Rintaro, the young Master Koro issued that these new forces were the remnants of the Veil. Yet these were of a different type of twilights, the ones that hunted through the shadows for some unknown reason. Another culture entirely, and another shadow lord in hidden power that they could not pinpoint.
Years later, the birth of a hybrid led to a prophetic realization. The child had already displayed such affinity to Aura, enough to rival Shinigami masters, though he was undeveloped. His name was Aliahan Sleyperion. And so, the Shinigami masters took him under their tutelage, curently training him as a Shinigami Knight. They believed that he would be able to lure this hidden force out and allow te rest to destroy them. Only time will tell if the young hybrid can achieve the prophetic task placed ahead of him...
