The Rise of Lord Sunday
Prologue
In the beginning there was the Void of Nothing. The Void stretched to the ends of all eternity. Then came the Architect and with her came the light. The Architect came out of the Nothing and immediately began to shape and form it. Soon after the appearance of the Architect came the Old One but he was then known as Zezima. (His name was forgotten after his banishment) At first the Architect and Zezima worked side by side shaping the Nothing and forming it into what is now The House dwelling place of the Architect. They were partners doing everything together and taking credit for everything together. That all changed with the creation of Denizens and the Secondary Realms. The Architect got bored of shaping Nothing into what she pleased she wanted to see what it could do on its own. So she gathered up a giant blob of Nothing and flung it into empty space and let it sit. There was so much Nothing and so much space that the Architect couldn't keep track of it all on her own. Not wanting to share her wondrous creation with selfish Zezima she refused to show him until it was too late to stop or change it. She had to get something else to record her wondrous work. Thus Denizens were born.
Chapter 1
"I the Architect of everything and Lord and Master of all the house and Secondary Realms give you, The Piper, mastery of the Incomparable Gardens, ownership of the Seventh key to my Kingdom, and ruler ship of all Secondary Realms on any given Sunday, and I trust you to fulfill my Will until such time arises in which a rightful heir should come to claim mastery of the Incomparable Gardens and the Seventh Key to my Kingdom." With that the Architect handed over the gleaming key to The Piper. She smiled at her son and turned to the other Days of Her Week "My dear Trustees I love you all and you are some of my best creations. I trust you will follow the Original Law which states that 'No being or member of the House shall interfere with matters in the Secondary Realms. Watch, observe and Record only!' Thank you and good-bye." She raised her hand to the air behind the line of newly appointed Trustees and opened a portal into Nothing and the Realms beyond. With that she departed with a flash and a flurry of air. The Trustees stood and stared at each other with distain and distrust then they too disappeared into there respective areas of ruling.
The Piper gripped the key he felt its power and he liked it. The ceremony had taken place at the Star Fort in the Great Maze which was now part of Thursday's domain. Nodding to the other Trustees he strolled to the elevator and stepped in. Grinning with glee and happy that he had outsmarted Sunday the eldest son of the Architect and his older brother. The Piper then hit a button in the lower left hand corner of the huge wall of buttons instead of the one in the top left. There was someone who could help him get rid of the other Trustees and the Architect forever. That someone resided in the Lower House.
"Hmmmm, very interesting." Muttered Sunday as he stepped out of the shadows of the Star Fort after the Trustees had departed. "My fool of a brother is trying something rash and I will be there to stop him and claim what is mine by right. He is right to believe that the Old One can help him but he is a fool to think that he can undo what the Architect put so much energy and power into. Even with the powers of that key, that key that is also connected to me by blood. I do not even think that the power of all Seven Keys can undo the prison that The Old One sits in. He will falter and when he does I will be there to crush him." Turning on his heel Sunday sauntered out of the Star Fort and using a gold and silver Transfer Plate he transported himself to the Upper House, he needed to have a conversation with his dear friend Saturday who was now to be referred to as Lady Saturday.
The Architect stood atop the highest steeple of the house and looked out upon all of the worlds and realms she had created and smiled. She looked out upon the vast reaches of the Realms then looked down and gazed into the complex workings of the House. She liked what she had done and was proud of how the Secondary Realms had turned out. The House was magnificent and everything was running the way she wanted and she was no longer needed. Her smile faded as her thoughts wandered to her retched husband the Old One. Her thoughts wandered down deep into his coal pit where he sat to where he would sit for the rest of eternity. She thought about how he had tried to meddle in her creations by changing them and "improving" them so he said. She had created the House first and the House is eternal so is everything in it. Time flows steady in the House and it cannot be destroyed. The House was first then she took the entire Void of Nothing and splayed it out into the void around the House. This Nothing morphed, changed and evolved into what is now the Secondary Realms. The House and its Denizens were created to watch and record the evolution of these Realms, nothing more nothing less. The Old One thought himself to be above the original law therefore he wrongly meddled with the work of the Architect. He said that he had the right to do what he wished in the Secondary Realms because he was the second one to come out of the void of Nothing after the Architect. That had made her angry…so angry that she had him locked in the coal cellars of the Lower House. Bound by chains of Immaterial light to a clock face formed by the highest levels of sorcery, the sorcery was so powerful that the clock face hummed and glowed with the very power of the Architect. Everyday at noon and mid-night creatures come out of the clock, cruel Clockwork creatures that are in the form of wooden dolls. These dolls pry out the Old Ones eyes and eat them. His eyes then will grow back just in time for them to be ripped out again. This always put the Old One in a terrible mood. This endless torture did not please the Architect but it was the necessary thing to do. She could not have the Old One ruining the evolution of the Secondary Realms. As the Architect sat thinking she realized that the time was nearing, she needed more preparation but the time was near indeed.
