Chapter 1 The Prophecy
There was a time when darkness fell on earth, when Adam and Eve started to sin. When their successors have gained their dirty hearts. When conscupiscence was born. When there were no allies but only selfishness. Hell's era has started.
Hell rose from the fruit of Adam and Eve and from their departure from the Garden of Eden.
From the time nations have developed, hell was as abundant and crowded as ever. They are too many to dwell on earth, so they made another realm, deep underneath. Since then, they have decided to create earth a toy, where they sent devils to make sure that evil is still there. Forests were burned and animals are homeless, humans struggles to survive. no matter what they do, they are only slaughtered and are punished by devils. Their obedience to them is very disliked by devils, since obedience is never a sin. But when they refuse, they are punished with a long rope with thorns and blades sharp to cut a bone into two.
Though little does hell know, there is a little group among humans who desires to destroy them and protect humankind from them. The group's number increased as years passed by, as they hid from the devils from cave to cave, tree to tree, nation to nation they traveled near and far in order for them not to be caught by those devils. They have found a place where there is no devils in sight, the northern and southern poles. They made their bases here, though they are separated, they can survive here as there are springs and abundant food. They did all they could to enhance their powers and their strengths here. Magic and weapons were their specialty. Though they are only few and powerless compared to the devils, they trained more and more and continued to invite humans to join them in their rebellion.
The time has come when this group had a large population and are powerful enough to fight the devils and their destructive demons. They declared war and fought to the devil's surprise.
Though Temptation, the queen of all devils, enjoyed this rebellion and said that it is a very good thing indeed and allowed these humans to slaughter some devils of hers. But due to her enjoyment, she had a lesser amount of forces to destroy these rebels. She used her dark magic and conjured spells, making the north and south pole freeze. Luckily, all of them were at Hell's Headquarters, the place where most devils dwell and live, which is right underneath the barren desert of Eden. Here they fought. Though the demons' magic are powerful, they are useless in combat.
The angels descended from heaven to aid the humans and sent flying horses for them to use.
Their help has been useful, since their healing and resurrecting magic is very admirable and was feared by devils.
The war lasted for 30 years because of Temptation's destructive magic. And ,alas, the war was over. Humankind had won and Temptation fled and was nowhere to be seen. Peace fell on earth and angels, the fewest in number of all, sounded the trumpets and horns with joy to celebrate their victory.
Though it was peaceful, these humans never forgot Temptation's last words before she fled.
"There will be a time when a human will come to me, and we will conquer these lands for long."
Many centuries have passed and no one is sure if ever this has already happened, but the humans are still cautious about it and still are afraid. The angels searched for Temptation, but there isn't any luck.
The peace that humans are living with, may not be peace at all. But still, humans continued living and lived in peace, without worrying about devils.
Little did they know, Temptation married an unknown creature and gave birth to seven children, all of which are born at the same time, namely: Pride, Avarice, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Anger and Sloth. Each of which characterized their own selves.
The human's unconciousness adapted their traits, though unintentionally.
When Pride was given birth to, the human's questioned the angels' sudden arrival. They asked questions like where did they come from and how did they know of their existence?
When the angels answered these questions, the discovery of the gods and goddesses' existence became known and thus paganism started. Though the angels said that there are still two gods that they have never met and so has the other gods but is beleived to be the most powerful among every god. The existence of the two gods was questioned by all but seemed to be so real. They can feel their presence but they cannot be seen.
When Sloth, the last of the seven children, was born, the gods obtained the trait of laziness and did not continue helping the humans. This made the humans angry and another war started. Avarice, Envy, Anger and Pride became happy and decided to watch the ongoing war without Temptation's permission, much to her delight.
Due to the gods' laziness, they were defeated without loss for the humans, but the two gods were believed to still be there. Anger, however, became aggressive and started to attack the humans. The humans were alarmed and attacked the four children of Temptation. They were defeated, but not killed. They were thought to be gods as well, but they denied to be so, saying that they are too evil to be gods.
With the human's magic, they were forced to tell them what they are. Envy told the humans everything, about Temptation's existence and her marriage to Concupiscence and their other three siblings. Their location was known and the humans headed to attack them, imprisoning the four children, since they were powerful to seduct them into not killing them.
They headed to Temptation's lair and found the other three. The three was defeated but Concupiscence and Temptation was nowhere to be found. Lust uttered about Temptation being angry and suddenly disappearing.
All seven children were imprisoned in seven different towers located in seven different countries. Three more towers were added, the two believed to imprison Temptation and Concupiscence and the other one for the the human who will approach Temptation and relive Evil's glorious days. But all three towers were empty.
Generations came and went, with no luck of catching Temptation and the other two. But the search continues, as they wait for that time to come.
