Beneath Heaven lies a vast primeval world upon which countless beings roam and it is the common beasts that are blessed by Heaven. Amidst beasts who can shatter mountains beneath their hooves, fell entire forests with a single roar, and split the oceans with only a wave of their fins a lesser race carves out a living against all odds. A feeble race of beings known as humans cling to survival hidden among the less dangerous of the world's lands as an eternal grudge settles among their kind... a ceaseless hatred for the monstrous Heavens above. Even as they toil in the shadows to ensure their continued survival there are some among them who seek to defy the will of Heaven in hopes that humanity can one day wield power on par with both beast and Heaven above.

Into this world a child was born to the lesser race of humans and with it's birth the Heavens seemed to awaken in rage as black clouds began to brew in the sky far above. Looking down from the Heavens one would be able to see the place that had incurred their wrath...

[] A seemingly normal mountain whose surface is covered in trees almost entirely though dozens of caves can be seen.

[] A quiet woodland valley that lies shrouded in a dense fog from which the faint cries of beasts can be heard.

[] A small city center in the heart of a desert, it's center taken up by a large lake from which the destroyed remains of a statue clutching a sword can be seen.

[] A black wasteland from which toxic smoke and roars of creatures beyond imagining pour out into the world, at the heart of it all a towering stele made of bones can be seen.

Lightning crackled in the previously clear sky as the rumble of thunder spread throughout the desert city below. As more and more clouds gathered in the sky a feeling of oppression began to weigh down on the inhabitants below, many of them slowly collapsing to the ground under the pressure. However, a handful of people still stood throughout the city as a pale white light spread from their bodies and slowly spread out over the city only stopping itself a short distance from the exposed statue remains. Suddenly a figure appeared seated atop the stone sword's point with its head craned towards the sky above, wisps of white hair falling down behind it and disappearing into nothingness.

Strangely the figure was transparent and shortly after its appearance dozens more otherworldly figures began to appear across the city standing atop buildings and scattered through the streets. A sigh sounded out as the ghostly figure seated upon the sword stood up, its face an indistinguishable blur yet somehow displaying a boundless sadness. In unison the hundreds of other ghosts in the city stared up at Heaven and the figure upon the sword spoke,

"The Will of Heaven is not welcome in the lands it has forsaken, leave us to our peace. However short it may be."

Strangely the clouds above seemed to spark to life as bolts of lightning rained down from the sky in answer only to freeze in place mere feet above the city. Another sigh came from the statue ghost and the air next to it began to tear open as a battered sword broke forth into the world, it's surface chipped and rusted beyond recognition. Fully emerging from the rift the worn sword caused the pressure to disperse and the lightning above to shattered before replacing it all with an unholy rage that turned the sky red.

"So be it..."

Before the words finish echoing out the ghost took the ruined sword in it's hand and for a moment the figure's body seemed to become real. Replacing the cloudy face is a youthful visage quite at odds with the white hair trailing behind it, an apathetic expression hanging upon the figure's face. Without a moment of pause the ghost slowly raised the sword to the sky leaving behind a perfectly black void as space itself seemed to tear before ripping forward at the clouds gathered above.

"In time all will fade, even Heaven. Perhaps this child is the key to our people seeing a world without the cruelty of the Heavens."

A faint smile spread on the figure's face as it turned its head towards a seemingly random house while the sword quickly dropped from it's grasp. Quickly the sword disappeared into a rift once more and the young man once more returned to his ghostly visage before beginning to fade along with all the other ghosts. If one looked closely they would see a few of the ghosts were dimmer than before and a few even broke apart into nothingness rather than fade away...

In the house the statue ghost had looked at a child had been born, one who could inspire the wrath of Heaven despite the innocence of one who had never touched the world around it.
