The winged ones have never lived in complete harmony as myth has told. In the realm of Mists, they have fought among each other, splitting their kind into separate groups. The cause of this split has been lost in the passing times and has been long forgotten, just like the winged ones existence.

Upon Earth, humans have their lives, never really giving thought to the winged ones. The only source for the knowledge of them rests within The Lost Books. They winged ones are classified as fable, myth, and just stories. The books describe the winged ones as the creators of grace itself. They are creatures of beauty, and vast knowledge. They once resided upon earth, long before the human race. They took to the skys with their wings of velvet feathers, never involving themselves in pointless quarrels that lead to violence. Within the first years that man became known upon the earth, the winged ones fled with the fear of being shunned and killed for their precious wings. It was then when they vanished, the few men that knew them named them the only thing that could live up to their grace; Angels.

The land of Mists knows history in a different way. There was never peace between the Angels. There was never a time when they shunned quarrels and blood shed. It was what they lived for, though many tried their best to remove this instinctive killing. Thus, the split began. The angels who fought this killer instinct, the 'Light', and the ones who embraced it, the 'Shadow'. The battles between sides were catastrophic. There fighting ways were the ways to eliminate the other. Some angels learned to generate dangerous, magical swords from their inner strength, making them lethal. One touch from these swords was the end to one. Others used specially wielded swords, made to be feather light, and able to have the users power funneled into the blade, creating a powerful strike, powerful enough to remove one's wings.

For years, after the angels left earth to live among their own realm, the angels destroyed their numbers to almost nothing as the confinement of the realm drove the angels to destroy the other for existence. That has been the life of the angels in Mists. They fight over their disagreements, and then exterminate each other for dominance of the realm. In the recent years, another war has broken out upon the angels. The Light and Shadow throwing every ounce of their energy at their opponents. The high amount of energy being ignited through the air chewed through the edges of Mists like pollution. The battle was in full swing when the exterior shattered, taking the lives of the angels.

On each side, a few surviving angels were sucked through passageways where they have been wandering for some time. For the years of wandering, parts of the angel's souls slowly rubbed away, leaving them with only half of themselves. When the passageway finally reopened, the angels were released in a familiar, but very different world; Earth.

From the years wandering the dark passageways, the angels now find themselves able to hide their wings when they wish, and being drawn towards a certain human. Over the years that the Angels had been wandering the passageways, their faded souls found their ways into the infants of humans, gifting them with a hidden invisible power. The power, not able to be used by the humans, is the calling for the angel whom they share a 'Soul Link' with. If the human is to die, so will the angel who is linked with them. The only way for the Angel's to survive, is to protect their human.

Upon becoming more vulnerable, the sides have quickly formed between the angels once more. The Light has a difficult time getting by within this world as humans live on fighting and there is enough of it within the world. The Shadow, they thrive upon Earth. They fit in within the raging world and now understand how to rid those Light; Kill their humans. Will the Light be able to protect their humans while trying to keep away from their vicious instincts? Only time will tell.
