There is a legend

Once there was a demon who tore the world apart, delighting in the torment of souls with dreams shattered and hope gone astray cast in the shadow of the twilight created when the light and dark were destroyed.

Then the angel came, her heart broke at what she seen. The world ripped asunder, lives broken, and hope no more. Her tears fell on the land and the flowers bloomed, bringing back hope. She shed a tear for sadness, love, and pain into the clay that had once been the sea. Molding that clay into humankind the angel filled them with the souls who had not been lost to the shadows of the twilight.

But the demon was not done

When the demon seen what she had done he wanted to destroy it once again. But the angel would not let him steal what she had made, and a terrible war was waged.

Across the stars of light to the darkness of space, a thousand years the battle raged until they came to the place where the twilight cast shadows over the world. In that twilight the demon was trapped and the angel was lost forever.
