Prologue

Some say that the world was born when Chaos was created. That there was nothing but darkness everywhere. From that nothingness, that dark void of space, Chaos was born. What had birthed Chaos was nothing but pure untamed power. The Source but its been millenniums since that name has been heard and used and that name has been completely forgotten. What everyone had forgotten or either never knew was that it was The Source from where Chaos has come from and through Chaos, The Source birthed Gaia,the earth, one of the first primordial deities and one of the most powerful. Gaia became the earth and it was beautiful.

The Source saw the planet earth, saw what Gaia had created and thought 'If creating one God can create something like this, what other beautiful things can other Gods make?' And through Chaos, The Source created Tartarus(the lowest part of the earth, even lower than Hades itself), Erebus(deep darkness or shadow) and Nyx(the goddess of Night). Gaia, parthenogenetically, gave birth to Uranus(the sky) and then Pontus(the sea). Gaia took her son ,Uranus, as her husband and together birthed the Titans, the Cyclops, the Hecatonchires, and the Erinyes(the spirits of punishment).

It was said the Uranus was so horrified at the sight of his children that he his them away in Tartarus(the bowels of the earth). Gaia found her children uncomfortable and sent her youngest son, Chronos, to help her. Gaia gave her son a sickle and when Uranus tried to lay again with Gaia , Chronos castrated his father and the blood that fell from the severed genitals came in contact with the earth and that's how Furies, the Giants and the Meliae were born. The Source sat back and watched The Gods populate the world. The Source was not happy with how The Gods treated each other and decided to step in but it was then that Zeus told Prometheus and his brother Empimetheus to fill the empty world with life to populate it.

Empimetheus first stepped forward and created animals. These creatures could do wondrous things. Some of these beasts could fill the sky. They could fly. Something that only The Gods could do. Some animals could live in water while others lived on the earth itself. The Gods were fascinated with what Empimetheus had done. And then it was Prometheus's turn and he filled the world with his creatures. He made humans. Weird, hairless beasts that walked on two legs just like The Gods. The Gods were infuriated that Prometheus would dare do something like this; to create something defenseless and weak but looked like The Gods but Zeus was proud of his creations.

A couple of hundred years passed and The Source grew to love human. So much that The Source wanted to become part of their world. And what The Gods didn't know was what The Source did next. The Source became human. The Source lived a human life unbeknownst to The Gods and The Source was happy until one day something terrible and The Source suffered and began to drown the world with its sorrow. Everyone felt it; animals, humans and Gods alike. The Source would have destroyed the world except for two creatures who stood against The Source. Creatures that that no one has ever seen before. Demons. Borrowing the powers of The Gods and using their own, the two demons bound The Source and put The Source into a deep sleep.

The Gods all rose in anger, they were frightened that The Source would wake up again and try to destroy the world. The Gods banded together to destroy The Source but the two demons stood against the mighty Gods and protected The Source. For what The Gods didn't know was that if they killed The Source, not only would the world die but the very fabric of the universe. There would be no earth, no Gods, nothing. So the two demons did the only thing they could do. They made The Gods forget. They made The Gods forget what The Source had almost done and they made The Gods forget about The Source. The two demons couldn't risk The Gods remembering and rising against The Source.

The Gods no longer remembered their creator.

So The Source was bound and kept in a deep sleep but The Source was all powerful and had too much power to be kept asleep that way. So the two demons bound themselves to The Source to channel and use it's powers so that The Source could never wake. Because if The Source woke, the two demons were afraid of what The Source might do.

The Gods moved on, forgetting an important part of their history. New Gods were born and the world grew.

And no one remembered.

So The Source slept and did something unexpected. The Source dreamed. Since its capture, The Source lay in a deep sleep and dreamed of the world. Thousands and thousands of years passed. More Gods were born and the humans evolved and populated the world. Empires rose and fell and The Source saw it all. The minds, dreams, hopes and fears all of the animals, humans, and Gods invaded The Source's dreams and it overwhelmed The Source that it weighed The Source down deeper into it's sleep. But The Source saw the world change and grew restless. The world was entering a dark age. The world was coming to its last days and that The Source thought could not happen. The destruction of the Atlantean Gods, the curse of the Apollites, the Were-Hunters, and Dream-Hunters. The Daimons killing humans and the Dark-Hunters dying. The Source could no longer stand by and watch its creation destroy itself. The Source did something that shouldn't have been possible. The Source was waking.
