In ages past kingdoms dedicated to magic existed in the world.  Protected by magical warriors, they believed their immortality was certain.  Becomming more and more over confident, they continued to delve into more dangerous research.  Eventually, they awakened the Dark Ones, beings ancient and terrible, that sprang forth from rifts.  Over powered by these creatures, the kingdoms of magic crumbled, their protectors being killed, or worse, used as energy sources.  For these creatures devoured magic, either through eating the user, or the more intelligent using carnal means to draw forth the power through the copulation of these guardians.<br/><br/>When all seemed lost, the last of the Guardians banded together, lead by outsiders of good and purity, eventually these creatures were sealed in the darker reaches of the world, while the leader of these beings, known only as Chaos, was returned from which it came.  The celestial beings knew that eventually break free of their restraints, and once more be unleashed on the world.  Leaving behind a guide, the guardians were sealed in a cycle of reincarnation, to be activated once more should the creatures be awakened.<br/>************************<br/><br/>Vergil often disliked his existence.  A powerful being of the light, he had been left here to watch against the dangers of the potential evil from returning.  However, it had come at a cost.  As his connection to his own world had waned, his form had become smaller, more dimunative.  While the original plan was that he could help them fight, now, at best he could provide a snack for one of these creatures.  The great Three headed dog, once known as Cerberus, had turned into little more than a puppy.  The brown fur, and crumbpled face with heavy wrinkles could be considered cute... had it not been for the fact that he had three heads, something that he glamoured out when he traveled around.<br/><br/>Currently, he was trying to find his charges.  Fortunately, whether fate or otherwise, they had all congregated to a place called Metro City, a booming metropolis completely unaware that the magic they thought was a myth, was very much real.  It would be a strange battleground indeed, and the three headed dog wondered if these reborn guardians would be up to the task.  With recent kidnappings, the battle had already begun, even if one side didn't really know it yet.<br/><br/>((OOC:  Feel free to post Character intros, come across Vergil, or maybe already run afoul one of these monsters.  Look foward to rping with you ^_^ ))<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
