However, what was created for balance turned into poison in the hands of the Hunters. Hunters are beings who have rejected the Circulation. They do not wish to be reborn; they seek eternal dominion over matter.

They took the sacred Darkness of the Twins and created from it "Poisonous Nectar"—false pleasures, greed, and digital illusion. While true Darkness grants the soul rest, their "darkness" steals time and memory. The Hunters convince people that death is to be feared and earthly power must be clinged to by any means necessary, even through betrayal of the Parent-Creator.

Thus, a distortion arose in the Fifth Generation: people ceased to distinguish peace from indifference and silence from emptiness.
