A normal world…A normal life…A normal everyday scenery...
That was the reality of things. There were no powers, no magic, no godly beings. Just man and his natural surroundings…And yet, what if there was something else in this world we don’t know of. Like perhaps, another dimension, another reality separate from our own. A world that is full of power, yet full of disorder. That was the alternate reality: the Underworld.
Long ago when the world was still new, there was no such thing as a parallel reality, one world holding everything that was both fantasy and reality. Yet, because of the existence of the more powerful beings, that world was imbalanced and in a state of chaos. As a resort to bring the world into a better order, the most powerful ones among the special beings decided to open a large gate towards an alternate reality, sealing their other brethren behind to survive in, what's known now as the Underworld. As for them though, they stayed behind in the normal world, safeguarding the means in order to the passageway that links the two worlds together. They were the Scordato…the forgotten ones left behind.
In the new world, life was only a great struggle, but in due time, society was able to manifest itself properly. Using the powers they had, they were able to survive the world, and soon they would have created their places to call as home. In order to keep the peace and unity among them, they created the Famiglias, a mafia-like community where only the strongest among them could rule as the Boss. That was how the first Famiglia was born, the Guarinello. Through the organization of the Boss, the people were able to establish a proper means of living while also progressing the development of their powers. As time passed though, other Famiglias were branched from the original, yet had no choice but to follow under the original. That was until internal disputes arisen.
There were still some among them who wished to return to the original home world, not able to accept the fates given to them by living in the much darker counterpart. To return to the world of the Di Luzio and let the surface world know once more of their existence. That was the dream of those among the Cacciatore. What originally started as a mere debate soon became a power struggle to see whose side should truly be followed. Famiglias defected, territories were fought over and taken away, and soon the Underworld was greatly divided into two Famiglia factions. However, no one realized the Scordato were making plans of their own. A war was imminent: one to determine whether or not they should return to the original reality. A battle to go……Beyond the Bounds
