Long ago, the Four Portals lived together harmoniously, each working in concert with the other three. But of course, this was not to last. The world was torn asunder and life changed forever when the cruel Lords of Darkness, Step and Echo, brought chaos and destruction to the land. Their brutal reign remained unchallenged for many years.
One day, a bright and shining light appeared in the sundered sky, tearing an enormous hole in the blackened heavens, and all who saw it were filled with a strange sense of hope. From thence he came, clothed in radiance, master of all four chords in the Axis of Awesome, and he alone could prevail against such foes. The battle raged for many months, and when it was finished no trace of the Dark Lords or the unknown hero could be found.
Over time, myth became legend. A tenuous peace returned to the land, and a hundred years have passed from then to now. The time of trials and tribulations is once more upon us, and the new Lords of Darkness have begun making their move…
But I believe that a hero will be found. I believe that the tide of darkness can be turned by the prophesied victor of the NGADM. A new champion will arise to save the world!
