*A Black and White fanfiction, my story is based on the PC game: Black and White, which is copyrighted and belongs to Lionhead Studios. This is just an original story I have created with my own god, creature, and a few others. Please don't sue me for anything, I'm just a helpless young high school student trying to find things to do in the season where none of my sports occur.*
"My name is Thundraguul. I am... most generally speaking, a god. My existence was plain in the beginning, living among other unborn deities in the VIGIL, or 'Hall of Gods' located at the center of the universe. One day, a prayer was heard, and a god was called upon. The matter was light, a child under threat of death by sharks thanks to irresponsible parents, on some planet named Eden near the western corner of the universe. Nevertheless, the supreme god, Supreme Kai had insisted that a lesser deity be sent to manage the land, and so I was chosen. I saved the child, and was quickly accepted as a benevolent savior to the people. This pleased me, for in my time at VIGIL, I had decided that being good was far more appropriate than being evil.
'Cowards are evil.' My father, Thundragon, had told me when I was young. 'It is simple to kill, and torture and bend such lesser beings as humans to our will, but it takes true power and skill to become ONE with the worshippers, to be seen as their father and friend, to be trusted by them, and so also to trust them in return...'
My people, Norse humans they were, had just finished my temple when my conscience, a good old monk by the name of RADIANCE, and an evil imp from the Hell planes called, NUISANCE appeared to me. This is where my story begins."
"You two are late. Have either of you an excuse?"
The two halves of the god downcast their eyes and began mumbling apologies and unlikely excuses. Smiling, he embraced them both in a powerful hug. "You both are so easily cowed. I do remember using that same trick on you when we first met at the God's Playground a century or so ago, I would have at least expected you, Nuisance to remember."
The green skinned creature smiled wickedly and floated on it's back, scaled wings flapping the air and mouth revealing a toothy grin of pointed fangs. "What can I say boss, you learned from the best! Hehe, that's me Van Winkle." He cackled, using Radiance's pet name gained from his overly long, black beard.
Shaking his head, Radiance readjusted himself atop his cloud and creased out his golden robe. "It truly is good to see you again leader, for a few years I was sure we would never be given a land of our own."
It was around this time that a Gold Scroll, those appointed by the Supreme Kai appeared further down at the other end of the village. Nodding to it, Thundraguul soared over to it, his long black and silver hair trailing behind him like lightning and sending cheers up from the villagers below. Hovering a few feet above the golden artifact, with Radiance and Nuisance sitting on his shoulders, Thundraguul tapped the object with his bare-footed toe, causing it to sparkle with sound and a door below to open at the bottom of the gate. Out walked a surprisingly attractive female human, with dark chocolate colored skin, and long bouncing curls of white-blonde hair. Her eyes were gentle and colored like a dusk sunset, while her slender, seemingly delicate frame was dressed in silks and sashes of bright yellow and shimmering white.
Nuisance began to whisper vulgar and nasty things that the young god could do with her into Thundraguul's ear and Radiance promptly smacked the imp across the head with his wooden staff, silencing the devilish little monster.
"Hello holy one." She called up to him. "I am Sable, a Trainer of Creatures, and an Examiner of Gods. I have been appointed by your lord with a task."
"And what be this task Little Flower?" Thundraguul asked with a smile as he floated down to her, his romantic side producing that little flourish of speech despite his large, stormy appearance. He was easily five feet taller than her, and she appeared about five to six feet in height. His skin was darker than hers, almost black, with tri-spike tattoos of silver and gold marking all along his skin.
Of course, being complimented by a god was no normal, everyday occurrence, and even Sable, a girl who was usually so strict with the men and boys of the village, could not help but to blush and even giggle like an infant. She quickly gained control of herself, however, and fixed the young god with a stern, disapproving look that easily said that he should not be putting his affections on young, human girls. She could not, of course, see Nuisance who was flying just in front of her face, making rude and inappropriate gestures and signals.
Thundraguul flourished a bow, while at the same time batting the imp a few miles away, a deed that made even the serious, Radiance chuckle.
"Of course, you are right..." Thundraguul said. "So, tell me exactly what I must do."
"Certainly." She said with a pleased nod, her human senses completely useless in detecting the sarcasm in his voice, sarcasm that had been taught to him by the very creature that was now cursing and spitting as it flew back towards its master from a mile's distance away. Sable took out an ancient scroll, one with the Supreme Kai's symbol and clearing her throat, began to read. "Lord Thundraguul, I challenge you with the task of opening these gates-"
"Very well."
Sable was about to keep on reading, not even realizing that the god had spoken and sped off until a loud pounding began to fill the town.
Impressed onlookers "Ooooohhh'd", and "Aaaaahhhhh'd" as the stormy deity smashed away at the seemingly normal wooden gates with a tree.
Seeing that he was having little affect, Thundraguul bit his lip in though and then tossed the tree with the utmost skill all the way over and into the lumber area of the Village Center. Nuisance appeared right on time, and whispered an idea into Thundraguul's ear. The young god smiled and nodded his head. Pointing down with one finger, he reversed the gravity around a large boulder to bring it up to him, and then winding up, launched the massive rock at the meeting center of the wooden doors. Now where all expected the boulder to punch easily through the wood, all were shocked as the rock bounced harmlessly off, and then spun off into the sky, bombing downwards on a crash course with the Child's Creche. Cursing loudly, Thundraguul wheeled in the sky and dove down, snatching the rock up before it could do any damage, and hurling it off into space with a flick of his wrist. This brought of course, more cheers from the townsfolk, but humiliation and embarrassment to the god, who had to return, defeated, to the human girl who waited with a stern, motherly look on her face.
"You should have let me finish! If you continue to act with all this bravado and foolishness this town and land will be doomed!"
"HEY! Who does that little harlequin think she is? She's lecturing you! A god! Don't take that from her! Fry her, smash her, feed her to the pigs-!" Nuisance was caught off by Thundraguul's raised hand. "She's right." He said, and left it at that.
"Wh-Who are you talking to?" Sable asked in confusion as well as a little fear, afraid that maybe this young, yet powerful god was also a little crazy.
"My conscience. The two halves of my spirit that give me direction." Thundraguul said. That brought a ruckus of screams and shouts from the two little creatures, each yelling that he was NOT supposed to tell humans about his conscience. Thundraguul shrugged them off and nodded to Sable. "So Sable, Trainer of Creatures and Examiner of Gods, what DO I need to do to open those accursed gate?"
Under the tutelage of Sable, Thundraguul quickly collected the three gate stones, the first in the shape of a Rhino's head, the second like a Leopard, and the third sculpted as the skull of a Gorilla. Placing these upon the magical altar, the gates seemed to mock and laugh at him as they slid smoothly and easily open, letting he and Sable into the Hidden Grotto. There, the young girl watched in absolute amazement, as the magical beasts she had been training to study all her life and lineage played among themselves. The Rhino and Leopard were wrestling in a mat of bushes, while the Gorilla swam in the small moor. An most amazingly, all of the them were HUGE! Taller than Thundraguul even. The shortest one, the Leopard, still easily reaching thirteen feet.
"So, what do I do now Little Flower?" Thundraguul asked, not even realizing that the nickname had stuck in his brain.
For a second, Sable could only stare in wonder at the creatures as they scrambled atop the hill and lined up, each giving reverence to the god in their presence. Tears shining in her eyes, Sable smiled and began to explain.
