Humans, the Therianthropes, and the Undead: the three sapient races that dominated the face of the world of Remnant.

The Therianthropes, known as the masters of the wilderness and the oldest of the three races, they were the ones most attuned to nature, and because of this, they have the unique ability to change into an animal at will. They were also seen by humankind as a benevolent people for they taught man to farm and hunt for their food, to craft basic tools and survive the wilderness, and to use their intelligence for their benefit. They have taught mankind many things that helped them thrive.

The Undead, known as the masters of the night and the arcane, are perhaps the youngest of the three races, but are certainly not the weakest for they have expert control on the magical engine humans refer to as 'dust'. They are feared by humankind for they are predators, hunting in the darkness and stalking the shadows to prey upon weak mortals - be it their flesh or their souls. They are cursed beings, damned to never find respite after death and consume life just to sustain their corrupted ones.

Then there's Humankind. The second of the three races to appear and walk the surface of the planet, humans are strong, wise, and resourceful. After the Therianthropes taught them to survive, their intelligence shone and led them to civilaztion, technology, science, and modernity.

But with power, there always comes a struggle.

The Therianthropes and the Undead have been locked in an intense conflict since time immemorial, their enmity stemming from hatred wrought by the way each side sees humans. The Therianthropes guard the humans against the Undead, who see their enemies as obstacles that hinder them from feeding. Even the humans participated in this battle. Most remained neutral, but some worked alongside either the Therianthropes or the Undead. Some even worked to eliminate or subdue both to become the superior race.

This has been the way for several millennia, but perhaps now is the time for an important change to take place. And the coming change may be spearheaded by two young girls from opposing sides of the battle.
