When the universe was still young, it's said that there was only peace. There was peace, that is, until the mother of the gods fell from grace, becoming a cruel and spiteful creature who sought to only to destroy the four brothers that she had given birth to.
In her cruel attempts to destroy the brothers, her emotions becomes twisted and ugly. These ugly emotions, with nothing but destruction in mind, gave form to a being who only had one solitary desire- to destroy the very things that the brothers loved and created.
This child, this being who desired nothing but destruction and chaos was neither man, nor woman. Instead, this being was able to chose which sex it wished to be. Using this, the being descended to the Earth to wreak havoc on the planet that the eldest brother had so lovingly created.
During the first few years, the planet- despite the being of destruction's attempts- remained at peace. No unhappiness existed on the Earth. This frustrated and angered the being who brought destruction. In a world where there was only peace, the being of destruction and chaos soon grew depressed and began to give up on his desire to destroy what the brothers had created.
Only when the being had finally relented and given up his desires of completely destruction did he meet the being who desired only war....
Becoming friends, the being of destruction's desire to destroy and cause chaos resurfaced and they began to drive the world into darkness. War, strife, famine and chaos plagued the Earth. Together, these things all brougth about the birth of the being who would walk hand in hand with them. This being was the youngest of now five brothers. This being would later become known as Death.
It took the birth of Death to make the friends realize the state they had put the Earth in. Once their eyes were opened, they sought out the eldest of the brothers. Together, they made a deal to walk hand in hand with the youngest of the brothers, their cousin, to keep the balance of a world they had sent plummeting into darkness. And so it was done.
Walking hand in hand, Destruction, War, and Death became the balance to a world that was once considered an Eden, a paradise full of nothing but peace. It's said that when the world begins to plummet into darkness once again, they will reappear on the Earth to once again become the balance to the eldest brother's peace.
