Prologue

Evil and Hatred are contagious. 

They are spread through human interaction and are virulent. 

They are carried by Fear and Anger. Dispersing through the world at a pandemic pace, they multiply in moments and cannot be removed or eradicated easily. 

The only cures known are Kindness and Empathy. Both of which seem to be in dwindling supply as the world grows ever older and wearier. 

There is a Veil that exists between Good and Evil.

The Veil is held together by the good deeds of humanity and is watched over by the Angels and their soldiers. The fabric gets stretched and torn and has to be mended frequently or the tears and rents will become bigger and allow true Evil to enter the world unchecked. 

The Demons seek out the weak spots and try to push their more violent brethren into the world to create more hatred and to literally sew Chaos into the fabric of humanity so that Anger can flourish.  

The seeds of the dragons are not planted in the soil, they are planted in the hearts and minds of humans who then act out the will of the Demons. 

It is an ancient tale and it has survived because it is true. 

Evil and Hatred are diseases.

And no one is immune. 

Not even the Angels.
