Some defected, others openly betrayed, and there was a group of others who tried to find a third way- one where both sides would be able to work together and all worlds would be saved in the process. When the time came where the world was ending, we all cast our wishes into the gem that was the lifestream of the Drabwurld, and as an answer, it sent us back in time to prevent the collapsing of the courts and the problem of the incoming Void.
