Balance was maintained without too much sacrifice, and humans thrived on Earth. Then as humanity grew and developed, it became more difficult to navigate balance. Not only were humans getting so many they threatened the balance of the world on their own, but did their existence prove attractive to both light and dark in matters never before indulged in. Legions of the dark toyed with ideas of drawing humans into their ranks, while legions of the light did the same. Balance was no longer a question of keeping Earth thriving, but locking humanity safely in the middle of the two legions. Push here, pull there. Every year a new generation of nocturns were created, and every year one generation of nocturns gravitated towards each other and Los Arcos on their 25th year of life. Their task a simple one: be the direct force of both legions on Earth, preserve peace, protect the next nocturn generation, and vanish. Yes, vanish. Some died during the task, others were stripped of their powers and an entire year of memory to flock among humans for the rest of their lives. A rare few were stripped of their human side and brought into either legion. However they vanish, they always do. This is not inevitable by nature, but it is part of the rules. Just like every year angels and demons must heed the Call and touch upon Earth to create a new generation of nocturns. <br/><br/>But rules have been broken. <br/><br/>A debate spread through both legions over the course of the last century, about whether or not humans still deserve the gift of Earth, about whether the balance is true or if one legion holds more weight than the other. Decades ago this debate resulted in war, and the rulers of Dark and Light removed one problem. No more nocturns would be created, and every single one breathing on Earth of upcoming generations were killed. For thirty years, no nocturn existed. The only reason Earth did not feel its impact, was the fact that both legions were busy fighting in a violent war for ultimate power, a war neither ruler put a stop to. Earth? Earth might become collateral damage, a prize or a weapon. Who knows what will happen when the legions focus back on this center of their world. <br/><br/>Thankfully for the human race, not everyone condoles this war. Not everyone wants to partake it in. There are some who believe in the way things were and want to reinstate order as it once was. Those few secretly stepped down to Earth and created a new generation of nocturns, in hope of building strength from within, from where the legions would not see it coming. They protected the nocturns at all cost, and only hoped that the task given to them in twenty five years would not be too big. <br/><br/>After all, who doesn't want to save the world?</span><br/></div>
