The Immortals and the Haunters

For centuries, each faction chose new heroes to fight in the war for eternal souls. While my foundations are not entirely Earth-based, I have been observing the wickedness and know what this planet will become. One day, the light and dark realms may merge, resulting in a massive battle that will leave destruction in every direction.

I've wandered into the uncharted territories of the human subconsciousness. I've seen the brightest and purest souls in these regions become corrupted by false visions of an undetermined future. I've also faced unimaginable terrors in my dreams.

As a Dark Shadow, there is a period of time spent as a youth that is distinct from the transition to a mystic sage warrior. The dream world can play on your worst fears, leading you to sadness and despair. The dream realm is a toxic illusion of madness, a realm not charted in the world of the living. Once your body has been consumed by slumber, the astro projection of your spirits transcends the physics that hold reality together.

By spending more time in the dream realm, I've finally seen what is about to be unleashed on the world as we know it. Elder Gloom foretold the prophecy about the all-powerful Being's return if the light and dark realms ever came together. The all-powerful Being would be so compelling in its restoration that it could command both realms and destroy the galaxy. Campfire legends of mystic and majestic warriors engaging in various trials were held in high regard throughout the history of Dark Shadow members in my world.

Each trial forces the opponent to collect pieces of an incomplete item. After completing the trial, a lunar or solar eclipse occurs. The elder in charge of guiding the warriors of that realm, whether Haunter or Dark Shadow, falls asleep.

The Immortals and the Haunters Pt.II

After alternately traveling through the land of the living and exploring the places where lost souls spent an eternity in torment, I was able to gather the necessary items to aid in the battle against the Haunters' looming army. The items needed were pieces of a magical knife used to fight the Haunters. The knife could conjure up a solar eclipse, allowing our clan, the Dark Shadows, to see into the future and plan a defensive strategy to combat the Haunters. With this solar eclipse lasting one hour, gathering precise forewarnings could have a significant impact on everything at stake. Dark Shadows patrol the entire planet for suitable Light warriors from time to time as we travel.

Those in command of the Light's soldiers would select one soldier to compete in the trials. In previous trials, the odds were manipulated in favor of the Dark armies, allowing them to win many trials. The balance was frequently tipped in favor of the Dark armies. Many trials await you as a Haunter in the realm of the living. Many of our trials as Dark Shadows take place in the realm of the afterlife.

Only as a Dark Shadow was I able to complete the trials set by the afterlife lords. My success rate has skyrocketed thanks to the knowledge passed down from the Elder Dark Shadows. As a Dark Shadow, you have access to mortals' lives on Earth. This ensures the success rate for future recruitment.

The trials had been designed for each opposing side to present challenges to the hero chosen for the competitive trial. Obtaining the magical blade had been my sole focus during my time in the dark realm of the afterlife. As a result, I was able to collect an enchanting blade known as the Valhalla.
