In the very beginning, the Goddess of Creation brought each and every creature into beings through her Love. Conflicts between her creations gave rise to anger, hatred, jealousy, and fear. War and death ravaged the land until the Goddess sealed the negative energies into her Scepter and placed the Scepter on the top of Mount Azak. As time passed by, the negative energy turned into the Demon and escaped from the Scepter. A plague of evil swept the mainland, twisted and slaughtered the innocent people. Your endless prayers got no answer, while the evil tore the people’s bodies and tortured your will.
