The dark plague descending on the land of Aira was thought to be legend, scary stories to keep the children from wandering into the forests or sneaking extra sweets. Nothing could have prepared them for the nightmare that broke the veil on one fateful day, an evil immune to all their weapons and magic, an evil that consumes those it destroys and turns their mangled forms to its' purpose. When hope dwindles amid the darkness, an aeon arises to stand against the looming shadow, a lone warrior in the darkness. A mysterious voice bids him to seek the other aeon and prepare for the coming war. He sets off on his journey to grow his newfound powers and reawaken an army of the light, all odds are against Varus as he shoulders the weight of the world and his new powers as the first of the nine aeon.
