When the universe began, there was nothing, Black and White (colors and not) swirling endlessly in a completely balanced gray. But a trigger was pulled, a gun was fired and the balance exploded into what we know to be the universe today, pockets of white, of color, molding into planets and suns, surrounded, tormented and threatened by the black, the empty, the nothing.

With the balance gone, the Black was free to do as it pleased, free to destroy, to take and devour. Planets, stars, galaxies, all vanished into the shadows, one by one, earth included. But, fortunately, Earth had a sister, a far off sister in the galaxy nearby, her name is Iairos. Happy to take hold of all of earths creatures, as well as the creatures from similar planets all over the universe, she became home to us all during out darkest hour. But not everyone, human or animal, follows the light, the White. The Black has followers too, followers who were similarly welcomed on Iairos, creating a beacon, a signal, for the Black to follow.

And the war began between the Black's dark planet Erebus and the White's light planet Iairos, each one guarded by their own celestial deities (a black dog and a two-tailed cat respectively) and each one fighting for control of the other.

Once again, Black and White have reached a stalemate. The forked feline pushing and the dark dog pulling, forever entwined and forever fighting for control. Every now and then the tides turn a bit, Iairos manages to drift a ways away or Erebus a ways closer. Or, more beings believe in one or the other, and one's power weakens while the other's strengthens. It's an eternal tug of war on opposite sides of a portal as opposed to a simple rope. But, every game has a winner. So, who will it be this time? The battlelines have been drawn, the sides are set in stone. It's time to choose...

Are you a cat or a dog person?
