In the beginning...( IC)

[Republic of the Cristo]

"Of course father. But what in the world is she jelous of? The only things that I have that she knows of is one volcanoe & my suit. Is it the suit she covets? How petty that would be, she has the whole sky while I have only this..." Vesuvius pouts.

"I know not why she is jealous, simply that she has acted out upon this. Go my son, explore and make merry the plane of Earth."

[Matta]

Saso woke from his slumber, he had had a dream about his creation. He was saddened that his father Cria never talked to him. He thought to himself. Just please, say something to me Cria. When he walked outside he saw a great sandstorm going through the land. He calmed himself and stopped the Sandstorm. He noticed that there was a large object in the sky. He looked at it in awe, however he saw that all his subjects were praising it and making idols of it out of clay. Saso tried not to let this get to him. However he told his people he was going on a journey. As he walked in of where he saw a tall mountain and a grey cloud over it. He sense that there was a powerful being there. He hoped he'd make contact with another god. One his way he saw clear that there was also a orange substance that seemed to be generating heat.

[Terranubis]

Vesuvius sensed a presence near his volcanoe, another god from the amount of power it was generating. He was far from the volcanoe but he had another way. He would create another humanoid copy of himself. He extended his arms towards the direction of his volcanoe & focused his energy....

[Terranubis]

A being walked out of the mouth of the fiery mountain. It was a walking brilliant orange humanoid shape of lava. A great blast of freezing wind hit it & the lava cooled down the doppelganger. The lava turned into black stone. The black statue split in half & fell into two separate parts.After these two halves had split, another humanoid shape was revealed. It looked exactly like the original Vesuvius avatar that was now a few miles away....

Cryana dejectedly wandered her icy realm. She had seen the flashes of thunder on the horizon, and had wondered what had happened. Then came the downpour. Her realm was far too cold for the ice, and so she witnessed the beauty of snowfall. Another gift taken by Crai. She still loved him, but her feelings grew more towards hate every day. She was so lonely, and with a beautiful, yet barren realm. Nothing grew here, so she longed for some other life. She began to fly across the land, trailing frost on the ground below. She saw trees and earth, and other things she had never seen before. She pressed on, and soon came to a land covered in a thin type of rock. There she saw creature, ones that looked like her. She walked over and observed them from a distance. One turned, and seeing a woman enshrouded in ice, ran back to its home. She followed, trying not to be seen.

"Who?"

His first test proved him worthy to rule over the vast tracks of water; all were forced to submit to the rule of their new master, the Prince of the Sea. Though dissent still brewed in the very depths of the ocean, waiting, listening patiently for the perfect time to strike. Kanaloa looked at his new domain in awe and amazement. All of this: the seas, the ocean, the rivers and the lakes were now under his control. He was proud of what he achieved, in the short time that he did and lifted his triumph to the heaven's above. "Father, what a great day it is today!" Looking up at the sky, he smiled. "What a beautiful, wonderful day!" Kanaloa dove into the sea full of excitement and joy, swimming carelessly against and with the flowing tide. He dove deeper, the warm waters became colder, it became harder for him to breath. As he drew nearer, the light of the overworld dimmed and he soon found himself surrounded in darkness.

"Kanaloa! Prince of the Sea! Master of the Water. All shall bow to His Majesty," a symphony of voices called out, sarcastic in tone. "All shall love him, for he is our master..." The multitude began to laugh, snicker. High pitched screams and banter echoed through the empty Sea. Slowly around him, figures began to materialize, the water now a frigid temperature, the pure silky liquid now tainted. It became heavier, thicker, harder to move in. "We will never submit to the likes of you," the voices simultaneously pronounced in chorus of evil. A figured moved closer to Kanaloa, circling him. In one quick, fluid motion, the figure lunged at him, the others cheering him on. Kanaloa swiftly dodged his attack, though the murky water made it hard for him to maneuver. "Leaving so soon my Prince?"

"Who are you?"

"We are nameless servants."

"Who do you serve?"

"There are others like the one you call Father. More older in fact, primordial spirits of the ocean bound to serve the One."

Kanaloa was petrified, for the first time feeling an undesirable and indescribable experience of desperation and alarm. "We are nameless," they began to chant. "Servants of the One. We are nameless, Servants of the One."

Building up any sort of power he had left, he announced, "You are MY servants, followers of the Light. Renounce your allegiance to this false god and be cleansed of your sins." He clapped his hands and light penetrated the darkness which surrounded him, screams of true pain ensued with the figures dissipating into the water. Kanaloa mustered all his strength and shot towards to the surface at unbelievable speeds. Gasping as he reached the top, he reached towards the heavens. "Father! No longer are my lands pure. Tainted and full of hate, they speak of The One. I have drove them and imprisoned them to the deepest depths of my domain, but they will fester and grow, for no light can touch that place." Shouting to the Heavens, "Father! Oh Father! Have you forsaken me?"

Niflil floated amongst the infinite expanse of space.

Space was his plaything.

He wandered the cosmos, empty, void of all life.

Infinite worlds, from gaseous Jupiter, to frozen Titan.

A world of pure metal.

He crafted endless cities, and domains, of stone and ice and steel.

But all was empty.

[The Flame Dawn]

Some time had passed in Hakiru's domain. The tress around Hakiru had small and simple huts in them, where the Hana lived. Everyday during the morning, the Hana would gather fruit to eat while Hakiru would wander the forest or help her new friends, and during the afternoon they would work on the creation of tools. The only tools they made were sharpen sticks, which they used to gather fruit, and simple percussion instruments. During the evening, they sat around Hakiru who sang until the sun had set, this was how most days went.

But today was different, Hakiru had told the Hana that she was going to see what was outside of the forest. With a skittish leap she exited the forest and could see a large mound of rock and stone in the distance as well as an endless field of yellow dirt. Fascinated by this, she began to walk towards them.

[Matta]

As Saso walked he saw to his right a forest. He couldn't decided which way to go. However he looked back at the mountain and saw a figure approaching. He decided he would go toward the figure but when he looked one last time at the forest he saw another figure. He tried to think of something to do. Finally he decided he would call sand from the desert and make himself a giant so they could see him wave at them to come closer. A large amount of sand came from behind him, enough for them to see, then it wrapped itself onto Saso and he grew until he was easily seen. He then turned toward the figure from the forest and wave his hand to tell them to come closer. He did the same for the figure coming from the mountain. He then sat down and waited for them. Hopefully his size would not scare them.

Hakiru squinted her eyes at the creature that suddenly grew in size. At first it seemed to be about the same size as her at first, but the being quickly grew in a size greater than any tree she had encountered before. While she was scared, her curiosity was even greater, so she continued on towards the large being.

Many weeks passed, as Brazto and the ogres made their way to their new home. They had followed a river out of the mountains, ad its winding had taken extra time to follow. They had passed through grasslands and rocky mountainsides, meadows and woodlands. They had only a day ago left a forest, and it was a very strange experience. Several ogres swore they had seen plants moving from tree to tree, and stranger still was that every evening, a haunting song echoed through the woods. Brazto was curious, but he remembered the Dainfolk and their loss, and decided to keep his ogres away from a potential threat. It was a very odd place, and Brazto gave thanks to Kanaloa that the river did not go deeper into the mysterious wood.

Now, however, they sat in a grassland, the night sky overhead. The ogres were feasting, celebrating the end of their journey. His eldest child, Ehrstuh, had lead a scouting party ahead, in the hilly area the river now passed through. She reported that between the hills lay a fertile land, filled with game, the party had even brought back three large beasts, with brown fur and branch-like horns atop its head. The beasts provided more meat than the small rodents they had caught in the woods, which was good, as they had caught few and the fruits and nuts were little comfort to the ogres growling stomachs.

"If there are more of these in those hills," Brazto had told the ogres "then we will have found our home. But that will wait for the morning. Tonight we feast!"

After the feast the ogres rested, but Brazto stood on the outskirts of their camp looking out at what he he hoped would be their future home.

[Terranubis]

Vesuvius walked and saw a thing he had never seen before. It had a color he had never encountered before, a calm & cool color. It was so unlike the fiery colors of his mountain he was used to. Then as he cautiously walked through these colors, he felt life in them. He would later know them as "trees"....

He heard a silky & elegant sound in the air. He had never heard such a thing back on his mountain. Volcanic sounds emitted such rough & guttural sounds, hissess & sloshings really. He would later know this magical sound as "music". Just who ruled over this domain? Who was making this sound?....

[Republic of the Cristo]

Crai looked down at his Son Kanaloa. In his mind he sent him the following vision.

Far below in the sea, where the light meets the dark, the darkness begins to slowly creep up into the light. The light of the sea tries to hold out, but inevitable fails. Once the blackness had filled the sea, the snows of the void came rushing in, the same as they had in the time before time...


Crai looked down at his son Versus and saw what he was doing. He was touched at the compassion that his Earthen son for the murderer of his people. For the kindness that Versus was trying to offer to Jasu, Crai decided to create an after life for Versus people. Crai looked at the heavens around him and saw that except for him and some clouds below, it was void. Crai, using his golden vision, crafted a majestic white stone castle of absolute unimaginable size. Inside of this castle, he laid on the floors the softest grass for which the dead to walk and rest upon. In the air, hung the smell of cinnamon and other delightful spices. Bouncing around the halls for eternity would be the melenous songs of Hikiaru. In the courtyards ( of which there were at least 20) each would house a different realm from Earth, and would be 100 by 100 miles. In the courtroom of the castle, Would be an immense hole in the ground, for which Crai could look down onto the Earth. "From this day onward," He thought to himself " The thinking mortals of this world that die, shall receive paradise with me, for all eternity." The final act of Crai, was to make the Castle invisible to all mortals.

Crai thought upon this, and decided that perhaps there was one more thing he could do to praise Versus. He went to the unspoken tree, and took two pieces of bark from his sons back. Brought them both to the ocean and took some water from his son's domain. He then traveled back to the plains and threw them both on the ground. He stared at both of them and gifted them knowledge and wisdom. Soon, the both sprang up, alive and aware. One yelled out "Thrivian!" the other yelled out " Qogaldir!" and so that was their names. Crai told them that they were to be the co rulers of all beasts in the Earth realm.

Arkos And Niflil

They wandered the cosmos together, two as one, infinitely overseeing time and space, the continuum of the universe.

Together they forged galaxies, Niflil creating, and Arkos foretelling.

For Arkos, Arkos could see all.

And what he saw troubled him.

"Crai? Oh father? Oh creator? I hath seen the future, and the past, and I foresee trouble. "

[Republic of the Cristo]

Crai continued to look down at the Earth. " I have seen it too." He said using his eyes. " The darkness that was the void is trying to infest in the Earth, my kingdom. I know that it will come. I know that once it does come, our only hope will be to unite against it."

[Syrixces]

Crai continued to look down at the Earth. " I have seen it too." He said using his eyes. " The darkness that was the void is trying to infest in the Earth, my kingdom. I know that it will come. I know that once it does come, our only hope will be to unite against it."

"Father. I see a darkness across the land. There is only one way to stop this. We must become one, to nullify the vileness of this impurity."

Said Arkos, inscribing upon his slab of clay, his three eyes glowing white.

"As I see it, as it will be."

The tale of Yami

While Hakiru was away on her exploration, a terrible plague started on the edge of the forest. This illness swpet through and had taken the lives of many Hana, so many that they began to pile over each other trying to reach the castle in the sky. However, one Hana, who was calm and peaceful in life had allowed the others to climb on her to reach higher, however the soul was pushed into the darkness below. In the darkness below, the evil and violence of the shadows used the innocent Hana's soul as a vessel. After some time, during a new moon the corrupted and lost soul dragged itself up to the surface where the living thrived.

She gracefully walked, like the way a ghost would float just above the ground, to a small forest similar to the forest she was from, however this one was left dead and withered by the same plague that had brought her soul to the darkness. The many shadows that held her soul together flew apart and inhabited the many trees, which soon began to grow, but the trees soon turned gnarled and the leafy tops created a thick canopy where light could not penetrate.

From the trees, a sap as black as shadows dripped onto the earth which slowly crawled it's way towards where the purple glow of the lost soul had settled into the ground. The sap soon covered over the body and soon the soul took on a new body. This body was feminine in appearance but the body emitted a strange coldness around itself. The body soon stood up and could only hear the whispers of evil the trees spoke. "Your name is Yami," said the many trees in a raspy and chillingly calm voice. From then on, the night would become filled with the eerie and unsettling songs that Yami would sing, while the day was filled with the innocence and lightness of Hakiru's voice. During dawn and dusk, the two would begin to sing duets, trying to prove who the greater voice was.

"WE must all become one. All of your children. LIFE, DEATH, CREATION, TIME, SPACE as one. Only then, can we overcome this indomitable evil. "

" That is my intention. When the taint finally comes in force, all my children, myself, and you, will use the powers of the world to drive it back into the void from which it came."

"As I have seen it, as it will be."

With that, Arkos drifted off in time, to search for answers in the distant future. Or was it the distant past?

It was all one, in his mind.

[The Olog-Hai]

As he was created, Qogaldir opened his eyes. And he saw the beauty. The beauty in every beast he could think of. Lovely creatures, all of them.
"Let us go, my brother Thrivian. Let us make these fantastic beasts, and lets us make them ours. Let us see the beauty in all things."
With that, Qogaldir leans down. Making a shape out of the earth, with a god's touch, he melds it into a shape. A very nice shape, he thinks. A creature, a biped, with two arms, and snakes sprouting from... He wants to say... Her. Head. He uses his powers to enlarge it, and brings it to life.
"See my brother? See how beautiful she is? I shall call her... A gorgon. And I will make her friends, so she will not be lonely."
The Medusa's hair hisses and snaps, and to any human observer, she looks scary and hideous.

[The Heavenly Commonwealth]

Thrivian treded the ground of the earth, like he did most days, observing his creation. Until he came across something he did not recognize.

"Perhaps they are the work of the other one" he thought, and approached them.This was strange to him,seeing how he normally has knowledge of the Lord of Beasts' creations.However as he approached them, something happened.

They grew terrified.

Now this was strange to him, as no beast,bird or bug was terrified of him, as they knew he wouldn't hurt them.The creatures began to run and curious he followed,but in silence. After a long time, he dawn upon a village with intricate nests, and a fire in the middle.This was gradually getting stranger and stranger. After waiting long time, he observed Intelligence,communication and cooperation unlike anything he had seen.
He didn't know what to make of them, but he knew they had potential.He decided to guide them,and unlock this potential.

When he first came himself to them, he took the form of a serpent, who wrote in the sand about him and to not fear him. Afterward he revealed his true colossal form and they remembered the serpents words,and did not fear him.He told them the secrets of nature,the herbs, farming, animal husbandry, amoungh others. He grew a tribe of people into a civilization, and he called them his Izingane, his Children.

After many generations the time finally came for him to leave, but he told them that, no mater how far away he may seem, he will always protect them. Even now he watches over them, his Izingane.

[Matta]

Saso saw the figure getting close. He shrunk to his normal size and went up to the figures.
"Hello" Saso said "My name is Saso. I come from the desert. I was hoping that there would be others like me. I have control over the Sand. May i ask who you two are. Hopefully we can help each other if you wish."
Saso then waited for a reply.
