A mysterious narrator explains that humankind was formed from the dust of creation, but shortly after, creatures of darkness known as Grimm appeared and began attacking mankind and its creations. However, the humans eventually discovered a power of "nature's wrath", which became known as "Dust". They used this power to drive off the Grimm and secure their own existence. The narrator warns that the dark will eventually return and destroy the Human civilization, which will not be able to defeat the Grimm a second time when solely relying on Dust and strength. Another voice muses that victory may come from something long forgotten: "a smaller, more honest soul."
