A very long time ago before the great Dharma war that change the landscape of the entire world, the Yuvians, the advanced humanoid beings, were divided in small communities. From wanders they became settlers in this time period taking control of their chaotic life.
On a normal day out of nowhere two divine beings appeared. They claimed to be the children of God. They were twins; a girl named Devira and a boy named Raldev. They had come to give a message from their father Ind Raneel, the God of all life in the Akari system.
They said that God is very pleased by his creation and wants to give them the opportunity for eternal life after death so as to preserve their identities. But to do so, they have to live life in a certain way following some predetermined rules.
To propagate this knowledge to other communities, twins split their job and went different ways to spread the message. Result of this split-ways, the description of what to expect of eternal afterlife got split into two different versions. So did the rules to abide to achieve the said afterlife.
Devira guaranteed a simple blissful life with family and friends living for eternity singing and dancing. Raldev on the other hand guaranteed a life of wealth, luxury and pleasures to satisfy the soul.
Many centuries later when the sibling reunited they realized that they were promising two very different contrasting things in the life after. They both tried to resolve this issue, but it only led to a disagreement, followed by an argument which eventually led to the millennium Dharma war.
The two gods fought on mortal grounds. The damage and loss on both sides was quite enormous. After many years of battle, Devira managed to defeat and kill the physical form of her brother Raldev.
The first thing Devira did after winning was to define two words; ‘good’ and ‘bad’. Basically everything Devira believed in was considered as good and everything her brother proposed was considered to be bad.
At one point both their mortal forms perished. Still there were followers on both sides. Meanwhile both were immortal gods so when Devira got reunited with her brother both of them made a deal. Since they won’t agree on common terms, it was decided that there will be two versions of afterlife each managed by one of the siblings. While Raldev was given the red rock Saki (aka hell); Devira took the white rock Aria (aka heaven) for herself. So based on which kind of life a soul preferred, they would be allowed inside one of these afterlife worlds.
