"Legend has it that it all began with the two red twin stars. On one star lived the giant Casper, and on the other, the giant Argon. They had been at war for millennia when the goddess ruling over our entire world, Botvid the Great, had enough. Being mighty and strong herself, she bound the two stars together in the middle and gave each giant a rein to learn to work together. If Casper pulled his rein, he would swing both stars to the right, and if Argon pulled his rein, he would swing the stars to the left. Botvid's plan didn't work as both giants pulled so uncontrollably on their reins that the stars collided with another world, and all life on that world was divided between them. Suddenly, in addition to the unbreakable bond between the stars, they had their own people to govern and now a third star trailing behind them like a tail. When Casper and Argon quarreled, the tail swung so hard that it lashed them both, and the only way to solve their problem was to make the tail even longer. Together, they set out to collide with more stars until the serpent dragon was born. Although the tail was now so far away, they sometimes got new lashes, and every time the tail whipped, a bit of their strength disappeared as sparks scattered. Then Argon realized that if they took the dead from all the different worlds they could reach, they could place them on the stars to help govern them. It is said to be worst at the far end of the tail because every spark is a soul that dies, instead of adding to Argon and Casper's strength. When Casper and Argon died, it is said that Karon came to life, and he continues to bring the dead home. He places them on the stars, but on the tail, those who are evil are placed, and every time Karon now whips his tail and sparks fly, it is the evil that disappears."
