Not all fairy tales have a happy ending

In the past, there was a conflict between two armies: the Army of the Light, comprised of mage warriors, and the Spirits of Nawia. Eventually, the Army of the Light was reduced to only its leaders, Steel, and his loyal followers. In the end, they surrendered to the goddess of the underworld in exchange for leaving the Jawia world undisturbed. As part of this agreement, the souls of the warriors were taken, along with the Army of the Light stronghold, and the existence of the Army of Light Warriors was wiped from the history of Jawia. However, the tale of the legendary battle between good and evil has been passed down through generations like a fairy tale, along with a prophecy that the final warrior will determine the fate of humanity by choosing between light and darkness.
