A Tale of Two Worlds.[/u][/size]
In the long history of the world of Aloria the facts have become distant and tangled to most. Family trees stop making sense down the lines, the art tells stories that befuddle historians, and the story the world itself tells is largely contradicting. All seem to lead to the assumption that... a thousand years ago... Aloria was almost a different world entirely. That's because, somewhere along the course of Aloria's history, the timeline split in two directions, creating two separate worlds. One was the Aloria you all already know. The normal one. The other.... well... this one's not so average.
This one has magic. Actually, more accurately, this one still has magic.
The moment when the worlds split was when the first world lost its magic, because the humans using it broke the pact they had with the Goddess of the world in which they lived. They not only forgot her- all but the most devoted lines, that is- but they rent apart her magic past reparation. They tore apart her intrinsic fundamental magic, and at that time they changed her face past recognition, and the Goddess, unwilling to die, split the timeline of that world, and, in setting the timeline back before the events that lead up to the destruction, created another Aloria, another chance for the humans to make it right.
The timeline has now caught back up with itself, and while things are slightly different, that choice is rapidly approaching again. Perhaps the humans can save themselves this time. Perhaps not. But the Goddess has not the strength to recreate herself again, so this time, there is no backup plan.
