Chapter 1

Arrival of the Moon

00000

"Help! Someone help! Help us! We call to the heavens!"

"Save our child! Hear us!"

Two voices echoing in the darkness...a mans voice and a womans voice...crying for their child's life...the voices reach his ears...he opens his eyes with a flash of light. A burst of light and he is plummeting towards their world. A streak of fire burning across the sky. He soars over the land of those who called him forth, he sees the child and the crocodiles closing in around him...with a wave of his hand he sends the crocodiles away with the tides and then plucks the child from the water, dropping her next to her parents safely. She appeared to be about eighteen years of age.

"You saved our girl!" said the woman. "Thank you! Thank you for your mercy."

The new being simply looked confused...what was it to do now? He had come to save the child..but now that the child was safe...what happened now?

"We praise you!" said the man and all three of them started kneeling down and bowing to him.

Just then two little creatures appeared next to him. One looked like an old man sitting on a cloud. The other was a red fat man with horns and little bat wings flapping furiously to keep aloft.

"Greetings." said the old man.

"We're your conscience." said the red man.

"Good." introduced the old man.

"And Evil." said the red man.

"Yin and Yang." said Good.

"Black and White." said Evil. "As part of you we'll guide you through this world."

"Very well then..." said the being. "So what do I do now?" he asked of the consciences.

At this point the humans had stopped bowing to him. "Our people will want to worship you." said the woman. "Please come with us to our village."

"I would suggest following your new worshippers to their village." said Good. "Worshippers are a God's lifeblood."

"Without them you are pretty much powerless Boss." said Evil.

"I think I'll be needing a name before long." said the being to himself. As he mused over a name he floated behind the humans leading him through a pass in the mountains next to the ocean.

After an hour of travelling they arrived to a clearing where a larger group of humans were to be seen dancing around a statue.

"Your arrival was foretold! The Prophecy has come true! We can now finish the Temple." the man closest to the statue said.

"Prophecy?" asked the being, this time making sure to be heard by the humans.

"The Prophecy of Gods of course." the man said looking a little confused that he did not know this. "It is an ancient prophecy that says that when a pure prayer is called out, that a God will descend from the heavens and aid our village."

"I see...so this families call for their child's safety..." the being said gesturing at the three humans who had led him here.

"That was a pure prayer milord." said the man at the statue. "But come! We must take you to the Temple."

A man on a horse rode up to the group at the statue. He looked to be out of breath as did the horse.

How do I know what to call these creatures? the being thought to himself. "Because your knowledge of this world grows the longer you stay here." informed Good.

"Soon enough Boss you'll know your name and then these people will know who they're worshipping." said Evil.

"Hush you two...I want to hear what this human has to say." the being said as he got off the horse and accepted a cup of water.

"The king...he has discovered us...he means to destroy the Temple. He wants nothing to do with any Gods."

"Destroy the Temple? Why would this King as you call him wish to do this?" asked the being.

"The King wishes to rule without the aid of Gods milord. You and your brethren represent to him a loss of authority. The Kings were fine with Gods being non-existent on our world...but as soon as you all started to actually appear to us and in the flesh as it were," the mother said gesturing at the beings glowing form. "they started to destroy any Temples that did not already house a God...so as to weaken their link to our world and cast you back to wherever it is you all come from."

"I see...well then let us be moving to the Temple before it is destroyed. I will aid in its construction if needed."

They all rushed off to the village with the God following behind. Along the way he uprooted whole trees and made them fly behind him. When they arrived at the Village they saw smoke coming from a pass above the village in the mountains beyond.

"That's the King's Army! We must hurry." said the mother. "Milord, there lies the Temple...if you can help in its construction then please do so." she said pointing at a half finished building near the edge of the village. It provided a view of the ocean that was exquisite. The being nodded and flew over the water towards the Temple, the trees flying behind him obediantly.

"So how am I to do this?" the being asked Good and Evil.

"Leader, there is an ability that Gods possess called God-Building." Good started.

"Simply order the trees that you picked up to turn themselves into boards of wood and send them down towards the Temple. They will do the rest." finished Evil.

The being did so, and the trees slowly transformed from giant pine trees into thousands of planks of wood that flew down towards the temple, fixing themselves onto the established skeleton structure. As this was going on the King's Army marched ever closer.

"Hurry Great One!" cried out the villagers. The being simply grunted as he focused on his task...as the Temple neared completion, a name started to form in his mind. His name.

Just as he was about to finish, a man rode forward from the front of the Army. "I am your King! I expressly forbade the creation of any Temples within my Kingdom! Did you peasents think that simply because you lived on its edge you could get away with this?" he asked before looking up. "What the hell is that?" he cried out pointing at the being.

"That is a God! He answered our prayer to save our daughter from the crocodiles near the ocean!" the woman cried out as she strode forwards from the crowd.

"This girl?" the King asked pointing at the young woman holding her mother's hand. He grabbed her and pressed a sword against her throat.

"What are you doing?" the mother cried out but the soldiers held her back.

"Hear me God!" the King bellowed at the being who had stopped building the Temple to witness the events on the ground. "Destroy this Temple...or I slay the one who brought you into existence!" he finished pressing the blade closer so as to nick her throat.

The being looked at the consciences. "What would happen?" he asked, the final plank of wood hovering over the Temple waiting to be placed.

"If the Temple is destroyed then we will have no center of power...no focusing agent...we would be next to powerless even with a Village full of Worshippers." said Good.

"What happens if the girl dies?" asked the being.

"She dies." answered Evil non-chalantly. "Nothing happens to us...I think."

"That doesn't sound very reassuring." the being replied.

"In theory we would lose a portion of our power...but we would regain it in time..after the villagers double in population." Good hypothisesed.

The being thought about this. Then he slammed the final plank into the Temple.

"You choose a building over a young girl?" the King asked, lowering the blade in surprise. "Well then I guess you've made your choice."

Before he could raise the blade into her neck, the being appeared directly in front of him, grabbed his sword by the blade, pulled it out of his hand, and then rammed it into his leg.

"Aaargh!" the King yelled, releasing the girl who ran to her mother.

"I am a God. What made you think you could threaten one of my people, let alone the one who is to be High Priestess?" he asked the King.

The girls mother gasped at the declaration.

"I will not bow to anyone!" the King managed to say. The being grasped the King by the neck.

"I am not asking you to bow to me...I never did. I was content to simply exist within this village...but now you threaten that. I will eliminate any threat to this Village and my own existence."

The girl ran towards the God.

"Please don't kill him." she asked. "He was just frightened. He's used to getting his own way and thought you would be the same."

The being thought about this. "Very well then. I shall spare him. But only because you ask of it." he released his grip from the King. He gasped for breath as he backed away from the God.

"What are we to call you? All the other gods have names." the girl asked, as the village and army both kneeled down to the God.

The being looked out over the army and the village, then at the King who was also bending the knee to him.

"My name...my name is..." the being started before looking over at the Temple. The sun had by now set and the moon was rising over the Temple. "My name is Lunaris."

"Lunaris...all praise Lunaris!" the little girl declared. Lunaris gave a small grin at the young lady already giving orders.

"And what is your name mortal?" he asked. "If you are to be my High Priestess then I must know what to call you."

"My name's Nilita, milord." the young lady replied curtseying.

"Well then Nilita, would you and your family care to see the finished Temple and where your family will be staying...if they wish it? I understand you humans have lives involving farming, fishing and lumberwork...I would not pull you from your home."

Nilita looked over at her parents.

"It's fine dear. You stay with Lunaris. Your father and I will stay at home. You be a good girl now and do everything you're told."

"Muuum!" Nilita groaned.

The King rose from the ground. "And what of me Lunaris?"

Lunaris looked over at the King and his Army. "I have decided that you shall remain in your seat of power. You are free to continue with your reign as King. Your Army will leave with you back to your Capital. Along the way you will tell your Kingdom that this Village has been graced by the god Lunaris."

"I would advise against that milord." the King said. "If word spreads that a new God has arisen, then the other gods in other Kingdoms may look in our direction too closely. I fear that you are not strong enough to withstand their power."

"The human gives sage advice Leader." said Good.

"But we'll get stronger with more Worshippers!" said Evil.

"I will acknowledge your wisdom in this King. I will bide my time and learn the extent of my powers. It may appear that I can only perform some tasks in a superior fashion to others."

"I thank you...besides, my Kingdom consists of this Village and two others and then my City. Despite the Army's looks...we are not very skilled in warfare." the King admitted. "We are an island nation...as are all other Kingdoms throughout the world of Eden."

"So this world is made up of lots of islands?" asked Lunaris.

"Indeed, which is why any Army is strictly for island defence and not prolonged combat...battles if any are conducted between the Gods and their Creatures."

"Creatures?" asked Lunaris. His mind then flashed him images of titanic animals wielding a portion of their God's powers. "I see now...so where is my Creature?"

The King pointed towards a large gateway. "Beyond that Gate lies the Creature Land. Every Kingdom has a small portion of land Gated off from the rest...no-one knows why, but it has always been so since the Dawn of Creation. No-one but a God can pass the Test of the Trainers. They are a closed-knit group of humans who have existed in these Lands alongside the Creatures for as long as anyone can remember..."

"How did all this, the Creatures, the Trainers, the Gates...how did all this come to pass?" asked Lunaris.

"Since the Time of the First God. According to ancient legends, the many Lands were all one Land. The Creature Lands were all the center of the Prime Kingdom of the First. It is said that the First God created the Creatures as an Army of their own...or that they were an experiment in creating the animals and humanity. The Trainers are all said to be descendants of the humans who lived within the Creature Lands. The First Humans." the King said. "But something went wrong...there was some kind of catastrophe and the First God was destroyed..the resulting explosion shattered the Prime Land into the multitude of Lands that exist today."

"Wait..destroyed?" asked Lunaris.

"There will be time for a history lesson later Leader." said Good. "Right now we need to get inside the Temple and establish our power base."

"Yeah, then tomorrow we can get ourselves through the Test of the Trainers and get ourselves our very own Creature!" said Evil.

"No-one knows Lord Lunaris...it is said to be knowledge that only the Gods can know." the King sadly informed unaware of the conversation going on in Lunaris' mind.

The crowd looked on at Lunaris. "I shall take my rest within the Temple that you have all constructed. You should all return to your lives as normal. Come Nilita. Your Majesty should return to the Capitol." Lunaris suggested. The King bowed and left with his Army. Nilita ran to the temple "racing" the God to the Temple.

Inside the Temple it looked like a palace. The candles that were placed inside chandeliers lit up as soon as Lunaris entered the Temple.

"Welcome Lord Lunaris." said an echoing voice.

"What was that?" Lunaris asked.

"That's the Voice of the Temple. Every Temple has a Voice that aids the Gods in moving around the Temple." Nilita explained.

Lunaris looked around. In the center of the Grand Hall was a large map. Upon it could be seen three villages and in the middle of them was a slightly bigger village. No doubt the Capitol City. He could also see a ring of light around the village.

"What is this ring?" Lunaris asked the Temple.

"That is the extent of your influence. Although you are a God, you can only perform your powers within the confines of the Ring of Influence. Over time, this ring will extend over this eniter Land as more and more people start to Worship you as you convert their villages or your single village gains more population."

"I see...Temple, show Nilita to her chambers. She is to be my High Priestess, since she is the reason I even exist in this World."

A small light seemed to float down from the ceiling towards Nilita. "Follow me Nilita."

And so the God rested. Tomorrow came and went...in fact an entire month passed by before the God woke up.

"Unh Boss...You've been asleep for a month." said Evil when Lunaris awoke.

"A month?" he asked.

"It would seem the journey here tired you out more than we believed. But the good news is that no-one required your aid in that month. Nilita is busy getting the Trainer for your meeting so you can take the Test." Good explained.

"Very well. Nilita seems to be making good use of herself. Is there anything else I should know about?"

"Well your High Priestess, like your Creature, will be able to use any powers that you can...within the levels that a mortal can handle." explained Good.

"Also there is a ritual that the High Priestess must perform with you Boss after you get your Creature. And I think you're gonna like it." Evil said with a sly grin.

Images flashed through Lunaris' mind. "You're kidding me?"

"It is part of this Land's legend milord. The High Priestess is supposed to be the union between the Mortals and their God...the bridge between the Mortal and the Divine...so these people believe that.." said Good until Lunaris held a hand for silence.

"I get the picture." Lunaris said. "It may be an interesting experience to say the least. I doubt any other God has had to go through this 'ritual'...oh well if it will keep the humans happy."

Lunaris left his chambers and entered the Grand Hall. Nilita and another human woman were there already waiting for him.

"I told you he would awaken eventually." Nilita said with a grin. She was wearing a deep blue gown and had her hair plaided into a braided tail that laid itself over her left shoulder.

"I never doubted it High Priestess." the other woman said. This one was of darker skin, short white hair, and wore a simple green tunic and brown trouser. She was dressed not for ceremony, but more for practicality for her job.

"Master, this is Trainer Birch. She is here to give you the Test of the Trainers so you can claim your Creature." Nilita introduced.

"I am honoured to meet you Trainer Birch. From what legends I have heard of your people, you have accomplished much." Lunaris said. "Tell me..what happens after a God claims their Creature?"

"To the Trainers? We remain within the Creature Land. I however as the one delivering the Test remain with your Creature inside the Creature Cave below the Temple." said Birch. "Now then..are you ready to begin the Test?"

"As ready as any God can be." Lunaris said.

"Good. Then follow me." Birch said leaving the Temple.

Once outside they saw it was nightfall. "Interesting..." said Birch.

"Indeed." replied Nilita.

"Someone want to tell me what's so interesting?" asked Lunaris.

"When we came into the Temple, it was midday. Barely an hour has passed and it is already nightfall." answered Birch. "It would seem that your very presence causes this Land to fall into Night."

"Well I'll be sure not to step outside the Temple during the day then." joked Lunaris.

"Or until the Ritual is performed. Until then, you're powers over this Land will be slightly erratic. Your powers were yours to fully control until you declared me High Priestess...now you must consumate the Ritual to return your powers to proper order." Nilita said.

"Very well then..let's get this Test underway post-haste. I don't think crops can grow if the Land is under the cover of Night now can they?" Lunaris stated.

Birch nodded. "You recall the statue you saw when you first came here? You must take that statue to that platform over there." she said pointing to an altar in front of the Gate.

"Why can I not simply fly over the Gate and claim my Creature?" asked Lunaris.

"Because the First God decreed it so. No other God may enter his Lands until they pass the Test. Even if he no longer exists, his Word remains Law. Even to the newer Gods." explained Birch.

"So take a statue and stick it on the Altar? No problem." said Lunaris. He flew over to the statue and easily placed it onto the altar. There was a clicking noise coming from the Gate which soon passed.

"That was the first part completed, so the first lock has opened Lord Lunaris." informed Birch. "The second statue you need is housed within your village somewhere. Your task is to find the house and retrieve the statue, however you see fit."

"That's it? Get a statue from one of my worshippers...very well." said Lunaris. He flew to the center of the village. "I have been told that one of the houses here holds a statue similar to the one you now all see upon the Gate Altar..." he called out.

"Aye! That's us milord!" came a voice from a house near to the woods. Lunaris flew towards it. "Please milord...my brother has become lost in the woods and is gravely ill...can you please help return him to us? If you do we'll give you the statue."

"Now I see what Sable meant. I can either do this task for these people, or simply take the statue by force..." Lunaris said to himself.

"Boss, just take the statue! The guy was an idiot to go into the woods when he's ill...I say let him rot there." Evil said.

"Leader! We cannot just take it from them! They trust us...we must aid our followers. If we do not then they could stop worshipping us and without them we have nothing." Good rebuked.

"I will aid your brother." Lunaris said to the woman. He flew off in the direction of the woods, scanning through the trees for the man...until he found him nearby to some mushrooms. The man was within the Ring of Influence. In fact from what he rememberd upon his glance of the Map, near enough the entire valley was within his Influence.

"Lord Lunaris...are you here to help me?" the man asked as he collapsed onto the ground.

"Indeed I am." he replied, carrying the man in his arms back to the house.

"Oh thank you Lord! As we said, here is the statue you need." the woman replied when Lunaris handed the man over to her. From out of the house was pushed a statue. This one looked like some kind of tiger. The one from before looked like an ape. Lunaris took this one and placed it onto the altar alongside the first statue. There came another series of clicks.

"Well done Lunaris. The next statue may be a little trickier. According to your High Priestess the third statue was destroyed long ago when two gods destroyed themselves over this Land."

"But not all hope is lost Master." Nilita said. "There is a statue carver in the village who could recreate it from the legends...but he will need a stone from the quarry of the correct preportions."

"I see...so I am to collect a stone from the quarry of the right size, give it to this stone carver, and let him make us a new statue for the Gate Altar." Lunaris summarised.

"Correct Master." Nilita said.

"Then I'd best be off." said Lunaris as he flew towards the quarry.

As they watched him fly off Birch turned towards Nilita.

"I have to ask High Priestess...why do you keep referring to your God as Master?" Birch asked.

"Because the High Priestess is slave to the God's will. It has been written for as long as our Village has existed." Nilita explained.

"What if Lunaris doesn't like the idea of you being a slave?" Birch asked.

"It is meant metaphorically." giggled Nilita. "Do you see me on a leash? Do you see me crawling along the ground at his side like a dog? I am his slave only that his will is my command...as it is with all of a God's followers. The High Priestess is just more strictly bound to the God's will."

"I see...so long as you explain it to him like that, then I should see no problems. Here he returns. He is eager to recieve his Creature is he not?" Birch replied, pointing towards a shining light soaring towards them, a whole series of rocks trailing behind it.

"I believe that his mind has told him of the Ritual...it may not just be the Creature he is in a rush for." Nilita implied with a sly grin.

"Surely not." Birch replied. "I would think that a God would be above Mortal affairs."

Their conversation was interrupted as all of the rocks dropped down in front of them with a resounding thud. They were all of varying sizes and shapes. Lunaris landed onto the ground next to the stones.

"Carver! Will any of these stones do for the Altar?" Lunaris called into the house. When Carver came out of his house he jumped back a little at the veritable rock garden that had sprouted up in his front garden.

"I should think one of these will do milord Lunaris!" Carver replied in astonishment.

"Excellent. You may keep the rest to do with as you see fit Carver. Recreate the Gate Statue." Lunaris commanded.

"As you wish milord! It will take some time...ancient texts being what they are when it came to descriptions." Carver replied, already going over each stone.

"In the mean time Master, whilst Carver goes about making the statue, we need to show you something inside the Temple." said Nilita.

Lunaris simply looked baffled as Nilita was able to race towards the Temple. "How does she do that in that dress?" he asked Birch.

"You're the God. You're supposed to be all-knowing." Sable joked.

"I don't think even Divine powers will help me understand females." Lunaris replied. Apparently to thin air because Birch had returned through a small doorway in the Gate back into the Creature Lands. He shrugged and returned to the Temple.

"Nilita! Where are you?" Lunaris called. None of the Villagers were in the Temple today. According to Good and Evil on the way back the Villagers had all been visiting the Temple now and again whilst he had been sleeping.

"Over here Master!" she called to him from a doorway edged with blue. He flew over to the room and entered it. Inside was a large golden orb surrounded by gold disks with smaller orbs. Underneath it was a pedestal emblazoned with blue runes.

"What is this room?" Lunaris asked. "And can you hear whispering?" he asked looking around, but all he could see was Nilita and the Consciences.

"Whispering Master? I can't hear any whispering...but this room does reveal secrets to Divine beings..so it could be the whispers of the future that you're hearing." Nilita replied, trying to hear what Lunaris was hearing. "This room is known as the Future Room."

Lunaris listened but couldn't make out what the whispers were saying...they were just too quiet and distant.

"How did humans manage to create this?" Lunaris asked.

"We didn't." Nilita answered. "We created the body of the Temple. When you finished it, as all Gods do when they find their Temples, their own power infuses the Temple...then the Temple creates these chambers." she said pointing back out to the Great Hall and the other doors that lay within.

Lunaris tried again to listen to the whispers...but could distinguish one voice from the other...but there was one word he could make out every now and again...until eventually every voice in the room whispered the same thing. "The Nemesis approaches. He is death, and brings it. Beware!"

"Nilita...have any of you ever heard of something or someone called The Nemesis?" Lunaris asked. Nilita gasped.

"Nemesis...he is a Dark God of Pure Evil. He seeks only to rule this world as he sees fit, torturing the lives of those under him, simply for his own amusements." Nilita said spitting on the floor. The spit magically vanished from the floor. "If this room is warning you about him, then you must heed the warning."

"I think I might just do that...tell me what are the other chambers in the Temple?" Lunaris asked.

Nilita and Lunaris walked back into the Great Hall. "Over here," she said pointing at an orange ringed doorway. "is the Room of Memory. This room allows you to relive your memories. Over here," she said pointing to a darker blue ringed doorway, "lies the Great Library. Within it is every piece of knowledge that your people and yourself gather throughout their lives. Subjects range from farming, foresting, magic, and a whole host of topics."

Lunaris looked at her quickly. "Magic? You mean humans can perform acts similar to my own? Then why do you need gods?"

Nilita gave a hearty laugh. It sounded like a thousand bells pealing. "A human mage pales in comparison to the Gods. A mage, sorcerer, warlock, whatever you wish to call them...they need the power of a village..and entire village focused on a single task. If that task is to bring rain to crops..then the entire village must be bent on making it rain. The mage is simply the gateway through which the power flows."

"I see." Lunaris said nodding.

"Also, us mortals do stumble across ancient magics that the gods of the past have left behind...like this altar here." she said as they entered the Great Library. It was a great circular chamber, reaching as high as the eye could see. There was a winding staircase connecting the various floors. One of the walls had a series of alcoves. Inside one of the alcoves was a glowing orb that looked like it had a raincloud in it. "This is a Miracle. The world of Eden has these scattered all across its surface. Some scholars believe them to be remnants of the Prime God's power. That he bestowed these to his human subjects so that they wouldn't need to disturb him when he was doing his experiments with Life." Nilita informed. She sounded just like a school teacher would just then.

Lunaris gazed at the orb of ancient magic. "Wondrous indeed...I would very much like to meet this Prime God if I ever got the chance...either in this world or the next." the last part he said within his mind. He then remembered something. "Excuse me Nilita. I need to go meditate within my chambers."

Nilita bowed. "Of course Master. Do you wish for me to call for you once Carver has finished construction of the Gate Statue?"

"You may do so High Priestess." Lunaris replied, feeling that formality was the best path at this point in the conversation. With that he then floated into his private chambers.

As soon as he entered it, the two beings within his mind came into being before him.

"You two said you would give me a history lesson. So let's begin it." Lunaris ordered. He sat down on the ground of his chambers cross-legged.

"I'll start this off Evil." said Good.

"Be my guest Beardy. I'll be sat over here sleeping. Wake me up when you get to the big kaboom." Evil said as he floated over to a corner of the room and fell asleep.

"Ahem...as you have gathered by now, Eden was once one large super-continet, with a ring of mountains in its center, forming the Kingdom of the Prime God. He created the Creatures as a test. Or at least the result of a test. Primordial was always trying to improve upon nature...to aid in its evolution."

"Primordial? That was his name?" Lunaris asked.

"Her name. Primordial was unique in that she was a female god. Every other god since then that has arrived here has been of a more male persuasion." Good replied. "If I may continue with the Legend?"

Lunaris signaled that he should.

"As I was saying. Primordial was always looking to increase the evolutionary rate of this worlds inhabitants. She was trying to see how far humanity and animals could go. She had reached the point where the animals were evolving into Creatures. The Creatures we see today are the descendants of the Prime Creatures, the first Creatures. Primordial was overjoyed to see how the animals had progressed. They were now humanoid in appearance, and could wield the very powers of the gods...albeit in a weaker state than a god, but a gods power nonetheless. And whereas a God or a human requires the energy of worshippers to accomplish this, the Creatures did not. So Primordial wanted to figure out how they did this..."

"KABOOM!" Evil said suddenly as he seemed to pop up from nowhere. It scared Good near enough to his wits end.

"Yes quite. You see Leader, in Primordial's tests to see how the Creature accomplished what a God could not...she pushed some a little too far, along with the humans she had been testing. And they had been working in secret, using their combined powers to craft something so powerful that it would force Primordial to listen to them. They created The Creed." finished Good.

"The Creed?" asked Lunaris.

"This is my area of expertise." said Evil shoving Good out of the way. "The Creed you see, back then, was a massive ball of energy! It was about the size of a full grown creature's fist, but wielded the power of ten Temples put together! With it...one could do just about anythin you could set your mind to...and more!"

"Let me guess...Primordial tried to get rid of it with her own power...and kaboom." Lunaris guessed. Evil sulked as it turned out he had guessed right.

"Primordial didn't like the idea of her creations turning against her. And so the world of Eden as we know it today was born. But that's not all." Good said. "The Creed survived. It is much weaker now...it is scattered into three pieces. It is these pieces that draw the gods to this world..for with them, a god can be truly killed if they are brought together."

Lunaris looked shocked at this news. "Truly killed...as in dead never to be born again...dead?" Good and Evil nodded solemnly.

Whenever a God died on a world, they were simply sent back to the place from whence they all came from. But this...power...it was unthinkable.

"And Nemisis seeks it." said the Temple in its weird eldritch voice.

All three of them stared around them at the Temple. "That's...not good." said Evil.

Before any of them could think of what to say, there came a bell chime.

"That must be Nilita. Carver must be finished the statue." Lunaris said. Both conscience beings disappeared into Lunaris. "Time to go get myself a Creature...then I can figure out how to stop Nemesis...or at the least defend myself from him."

Well...what did you guys think? I figured I'd give this a go. It probably won't run for very many chapters. Maybe ten or thereabouts. It's pretty much going to be what my God's doing around the time of Black and White 1, and Black and White 2.

So leave a review guys if you liked it, and leave a review even if you didn't. Before anyone says it...I realise I need to do more..descriptive work in my fanfics. I'm afraid I'm not that good at it :)

This fanfic will probably get graphic, with blood, guts...maybe a sex scene or two :) Hope you guys enjoy this fiction. Don't say you weren't warned.

Leave a review after the tone.

Beeeeep
