Shades of Blue and Grey
Prologue
Long ago, there was a time where there was many gods ruling over different parts of the Earth. All the gods lived in peace with one another because they were all separately ruling over their own part of the world. As time moved forward, however, their worlds became meshed together and no group of gods could truly rule their own territory. Immigration moved people of different religions around and in time, some gods where forgotten all together. This led to a conflict.
All the different gods and/or groups of gods wanted to rule over the Universe. They argued and fought for the entire dark ages. In their struggle, some of the gods were wiped out until only a few remained. The few who remained where the Christian gods, Greek and Roman gods (who where one in the same), Egyptian gods, the Norse gods, and a few gods from other religions. The Christian god was sick of he fighting and came up with a solution. They would split the ruling of the Universe in between them, some gods ruling planets that where on the outskirts of the universe, some ruling earth, and one group to rule the afterlife. All the gods though this was a very good idea, except the Norse gods, who were then exiled as the rest wanted no more violence. Then the Universe was split.
The Egyptian gods ruled the two worlds of Helliven and Fronican on the outskirts of the Milky Way, along with the surviving gods of other religions. Earth was to be ruled by the Christian god, because it was him that was worshiped most. The afterlife was given to the Greek/Roman gods. The gods got settled and each formed their own government. However, for this story, we only need to deal with two, so those are the ones I shall explain.
The Christian god made a complex government with 3 departments. The first Department was called Nature. This department was run by the spirits of the Earth and Mother Nature and controlled the Earth's environment. The second was called Destiny. Three women who wove a delicate web for every living thing's life ran it. The three women were named Fate, Chance, and Choice. Again these two departments are not a main focus, so I shall not discuss them further. It is the last Department that needs to be explained.
The last Department was called Elements. The people who ran in were called the Elementals. Each elemental had its own branch. The jobs of these Elementals were to make sure that the lives of the living things on Earth followed what Destiny had assigned to them. The branches of this department were Life, Death, Hope, Despair, Hate, Love, Chaos, Peace, and Joy. This department was a little different from the others. Instead of creating people for this job, the Christian God wanted to recruit actual people from Earth, so that Earthlings had a say and influence on their planets live. And so God did this and it worked out very well.
The Greek Gods also set up a Government, though it was different from the Christian God's. Each God or Goddess was given free reign, able to do whatever he/she liked in the Afterlife. To do this, each god/goddess was to make a new breed of creature in any manner of way he/she liked. They called these creatures, shades. Each shade was unique and perfectly loyal to its master. And this is where the story begins...

"Hmm...that doesn't look at all right." Venus said, looking at her shade. A few paces away, Artemis was also creating her own shade. The blonde goddess of love looked over at the Virgin Goddess's shade and noticed one thing about him. This shade had wings. Venus mused for a while over this. She needed to make her shade reflect her own beauty and therefore, needed to make her shade beautiful. She had done an ok job so far. Her shade was looking of Arabian decent, as she had always liked the people of the desert. He had short platinum blonde hair that made the sun scream in envy and crystal blue eyes that made the sea cry for it's lost beauty.
"Wings maybe..." the goddess muttered. She created beautiful wings of gold and silver feathers, placing them carefully on her shades back. Venus viewed her work again. Now her shade looked like the beautiful things the humans called angels. Brushing a hair from her face, the goddess nodded and brought life to her creature.
"Hello there Shade." The Goddess greeted. No need to be unkind, seeing as this shade would be with her for eternity. The shade lifted its crystal eyes and smiled, making him look even more beautiful.
"Hello, Master." The shade greeted. His voice was lie sweet music to Venus's ears.
"You shall call me Venus, shade. I always did like it better the Aphrodite. You shall be called Quatra, a beautiful name for sure. Do you understand?"
"Yes Venus." Venus smiled at her creation, happy with its charming face and beautiful body.
"He's very beautiful, Venus." Came the voice of Artemis. She walked over to examine the shade, her own creation walking behind her.
Venus looked over the hunter goddess's shade. She had to admit that he wasn't at all ugly, but not as beautiful as her beloved Quatra. He was looking of Japanese decent, a people Artemis had always taken an interest in. He was toned and strong with short, dark brown hair and colbat blue eyes. He looked just like a hunter should look, serious and cold. The wings on his back were scaled and for some reason, upside down. They were purple and black, made to blend in the night. And why shouldn't they, Artemis was the goddess of the moon as well. It would be logical for her shade to be made for night.
"Not bad yourself, Diana." Venus said, returning her gaze to her beautiful Quatra.
"Artemis, please. I dislike Diana."
"Alright, what is his name then?"
Artemis placed a hand proudly on her shade' shoulder. "He is called Heero."
"Hello then Heero." Spoke Quatra in his beautiful voice. Heero's gaze turned to the other shade and he nodded in greeting.

A/N~ ^_^ If you're reading my other Story called From Hades to Heaven, you might see an error here. In my other story, I cast some one I called Rykku as the Shade for Venus. I made up this story based on a story line I mad for that character, I just substituted the Gundam Pilots! Next Chapter will be up as soon as I can make it!
