"As long as humanity has existed there have been others among us. They’re human, yet they have abilities beyond those of ordinary men. These Others are as varied as stars in the sky.
The Others are soldiers in the eternal war:
The struggle between Dark and Light.
Light Others protected mankind from the Dark Others who plagued and tortured humans.
Legend tells of a day when the two armies met on a bridge, and so began a great battle, bloody and merciless. As the screams of the dying reached heaven the Lord of Light realized the two armies were equally matched, and he knew that unless the fighting stopped, every last soul would perish, so he stopped the battle.
The forces of Light and Darkness forged a truce.
And these things were agreed: No one could be forced to good or evil without choosing freely.
So the balance would be kept for centuries to come.
But one day, an Other would come... more powerful than any before him, and like all Others, he would have to choose between Light and Dark... his choice would change the balance forever.
If he takes the side of Light, Light will triumph. But wise men say he will choose the Darkness, for it is easier for a man to destroy the Light inside himself, than to defeat the Darkness all around him.
But as long as there are those among us who believe in Light, there will be hope."
