Let me tell you a tale about the great change that altered this world.
As you remember, or not, this world was once a grand battlefield, between White and Black realms. As war continued, both sides start using locals for they own agenda. While one side was buying by blessing, smite and protection, the other use gift, curses and power. Witch one is which, right or wrong, change with a point of view, like a wind direction.
But as time flowed and the eternal war continued, something unexpected happened. A Third Lord rise up from the locals. It was a seven headed dragon king, the god of Earth. This one not simply denied both sides, both agendas, teachings, ideals, extremes of virtues and sins. No!; it promote a third way; a balance between those two, on personal level of each individual. Opening arms to both of them, but refusing to chose the absolute of single point of view. Not absolute order or absolute desire.
Yet the White and Black Lord dint liked that, and show up on battlefield Earth with full force. The battle was so intense that the scenery changed in unimaginable scale.
However, the Third Lord was so strong, that in the end, it force both Lords to run. To withdraw deep into their own realms, so far, that neither lord can reach them and win.
How is possible, that the third one wins, when he was mortal? Clearly they managed to slay the dragon king more that once, even evaporate it to dust. But it come back, always... Because White and Black are.
As you see, when those two start to make a mess on this realm, then it don't matter what form the Third will take on, to deal with them.
It can re-spawn, just by recollecting its severed heads, no matter what form they take on. In one cause, the head take a form of a prepared dish. There is no probability to serve the single plate or bowl of food, for correct person, it was a destiny. The more, somebody tries to prevent the heads recollection, the faster it will happen.
When it reaper only as a body without awaken mind; a task force will descent to Earth, solely for putting the Third Lord back to sleep. (What ever it will take.)
The eternal war hits the stalemate, but the influenced locals are lock on destiny to fight anyway. If its not the White or Black, they eventually fight each others. The reason is always some kind of difference in anything. The third way, is the greatest strength and greatest weakness. Always a slippery, unstable balance between order and desire; resulting in brewing conflicts, arts, and achievements.
Absence or abundance of white or black will result on tagging that person with names. Yet, that is what make humans; a humans. And the most strong example of defiance to do it in (our own way), are called dragon.
