In the beginning...there was Ralph and Sean.
Two celestial beings who shared a brother-like bond.
And together they created a Universe filled with freedom and joy, which they called Sticknodes.
In this Universe they created dimensions, or as we call them...series.
These dimensions would then continue to expand and grown within the universe. Retired from there world building Ralph and Sean reduced themselves to multiple souls and then spread throughout the dimensions, with some even taking forms.
Though they retired, they needed someone to take their place, some sort of guardian.
Thus they created Mother Nature.
But when there is light... there must be dark, so Vitali was created.

Vitali was in charge of destruction and death throughout the Universe. Where there was chaos, Vitali was there to create and then to end it.
Back then Vitali was a chill dude, he looked and acted a bit like Mother Nature, sometimes he may act a bit twisted an edgy but he was a good dude...but that was before the ‘event’

After thousands of years Vitali had gathered the courage to ask Mother Nature’s hand in marriage, but Mother Nature refused, not because of he wasn’t handsome, not because of the way he acted, and not because of she was seeing someone else. It was because it wasn’t right.
Literal Light and Dark can not be mixed together, it would shatter the fabric of reality.
Heartbroken and somewhat pissed Vitali attempted to kill Mother Nature, unaware of what this would do to the balance of life.
Failed in a cosmic battle that shook the universe Vitali was wounded greatly, Mother Nature didn’t want this to happen and tried to help him.
But with a changed mind Vitali new what he must do, he swore to consume all light in the Universe. In order to do this the tome of Elu must be destroyed, which has become his ultimate goal. And once it’s done it will just be him, Mother Nature... and darkness

After this Vitali retreated to heal his wounds and multiple missing body parts, only using darkness, which gave him his appearance we see today.
After a great battle with Vitali sieging the Holy Wilds with his army of Darkness Mother Nature accepted the fact the man she once new was gone. And with Vitali being immortal she could only banish him. So she sealed him away along with his army.
Now Vitali awaits his reawakening and continue his goal to be with Mother Nature. For. All. Eternity...
