The War Over Time

Once, there was a war.
Three sides fought, tearing apart the entire world in their struggle to claim an ancient power.
This power was said to be the key to the greatest secret in the universe.
Time.
Whosoever wielded this power was given control over time itself.
And so the three sides fought, destroying everything.
As the last man fell, he gazed across the barren waste of a once fertile world.
Then there was silence.
The rest of the universe continued, and the memory of that war over time was soon forgotten.
Until that ancient power was discovered on a new world.
