Konton: Well long time no see. I've succeeded in killing him off.
Mizu:...
Konton:... I didn't say that.
Mizu:... Just get started, describe what this is about.
Konton: This is a story about the beginning of the Sylvian Empire, another country in our universe, which lies across the ocean.
1. Bitomi meets Lyxia
I was like every other Sylonian in Sylonia, a farm hand, the poorest of the poor. We are a city where the gods have abandoned us. The society of Gulaz, the god of creation, had abandoned their only house in the small town believing it to be forsaken.
Right now all I can do is feel deep regret while looking at the building. I almost weep because I know the god has abandoned us, this town should have been the center of an empire. The town had been established by the last generation and he had grown up in a town rapidly growing but that had all changed when the curse that whenever sickness took somebody in the town they would die.
Day after day people dropped dead and nothing anybody could do to stop it. But today as I stare at the abandoned building I feel something different, curiosity.
"Hello my good sir." Said a beautiful women wearing only white, she had long black hair, dark red eyes that stared steadily at him. When he looked at her surrounding he saw she was in a bathroom, oh how he wished he could have one of that splendor.
"Are you are Witch?" I ask.
"No, I am nothing of the such." She says laughing.
"A mystic?" I ask.
"No you can consider me a goddess." She says smiling at him.
"What are you the Goddess of?" I ask wanting to know more about this deity. A goddess to worship at this time could break the curse that had been plaguing them.
"I am a goddess of Bathrooms, trade and prosperity." She said smiling. That was fine and all but he needed a god for Warriors and expansion. I want to build an expansion.
"Give me your blood youngling and I shall grant you power no warrior has ever known before, I will become your guardian goddess. The one that will help you build an empire." She says smiling a cruel smile.
"But how would you help in building an empire if you have no warlike qualities?" I ask her, she just laughs in response.
"I have plenty of warlike quality, trade and prosperity are times that warriors use to build up strength and regroup. The bathroom is where you wash off the blood of your enemies." The goddess says. "I am also the goddess of warriors and blood, my dear youngling."
"Okay the what should I call you my goddess?" I ask her.
"I am Lyxia Goddess of Blood, Warriors, Prosperity, Trade and Bathrooms!" The goddess says holding her hand out to me.
"As you wish then Lyxia, for I am but your humble servant." I say, putting my arm into her hands as she slices it open and collects the blood from the wound.
"This blood will save the empire that you will build, it would fall otherwise." She says closing my wound and taking a sip of my blood. I can feel the power ripple from her; I know this is a birth of one of the strongest goddess of my time if not the strongest.
"Thank you, I will do everything in my power not to fail you, I shall give you the recognition you deserve. Starting here I will build a church around the faith that you have given me." I declare and I see that she is pleased.
"May you be the most prosperous man that has lived to date my dear youngling." She says closing the window, but before it fully closed I see the water in the bathtub turn to blood.
I walk back to the town happy, hopeful but worried it was obvious that Lyxia was older than our last god or as powerful but I hoped that she would be powerful enough to save our village.
"Bitomi it's a miracle our town has been saved, Gulaz has saved us." Says Gotomus, he is one of the avid believers of Gulaz.
"No I have found another being who won't abandon us, a goddess to save us." I say, I start seeing a crowd grow around us.
"Give us proof of this other deity, one that would save us from this curse when Gulaz couldn't!" Gotomus taunts at me.
"O great Lyxia I beseech you to help me at this one moment when I need you to invoke belief among these non-believers." I say lowering my head.
"Oh already calling on me youngling, fine I will answer your desperate plea." I look up and I can see it in Gotomus's face. When I look behind me I can see Lyxia in her white dress.
"I am Lyxia Goddess of Blood, Warriors, Prosperity, Trade and Bathrooms. Do you question my power?" Lyxia says, I can feel the power radiating off of her. Compared to when I first met her I can tell you she is truly a goddess. "I am an even more ancient deity than your Gulaz, the world may have forgotten about me temporally but they can never forget about me forever. This use to be the site of the empire that worshiped me but then they forgot about the Gods and fell apart."
"And how will we benefit from worshiping you, the only one that believes in you is that weakling over there. He couldn't beat me if my hands were behind my back." Gotomus says, the crowd yells in approval.
"Fine then let's have a dual right here, to the death. If Bitomi does die so do my chances to revive my pantheon during this generation, if you die then this whole town will see my worth." Lyxia says calmly.
I grab a shield and a short sword meant for stabbing. I see that Gotomus grabs a shield as well and a longer sword. I look back at the weapons; I see a bigger squarer shield. The shield would hinder my swinging abilities. But I take the gamble and grab the other shield.
When we meet at the battlefield everybody laughs at me because I look like an idiot but I ignore it, I made the gamble to worship what the society would call an evil religion but I am sure that the goddess Lyxia will lead me to victory.
The battle begins and Gotomus slashes at my shield failing to penetrate the armor but sadly since I can't get in I can't get one stab in on him. He then charges me and knocks me onto the ground removing my shield he stands over me victoriously.
"And now I will get rid of this heretic!" He says swinging his sword down at me. I see the blood on his sword and I don't know what comes over me but I manage to get my shield back and protect myself from his attack.
I jump back up and start approaching him, he stabs at me but I am in a different world. I reflect the attack and take a stab at him from behind my shield I get his side. I go further into the state I am in and take another stab he deflects it but I see it nick his neck. He steps back and trips and as soon as that happens I stab into his body.
"Gotomus is dead Bitomi is the victor, truly Gotomus's god Gulaz has abandoned him while Bitomi's Goddess Lyxia truly favors him." Says the announcer, the silence is piercing.
Konton: I told you. I got him killed.
Mizu:... You did nothing, I was the one who killed him.
Konton: Moral support counts for something. Plus i'm the only one who ever reads what you write.
Mizu:... *Gloom* At least I have the ability to actually finish what I start.
Konton: You say that but I have to fix your mistakes in even that very sentence.
Mizu:... At least I can capitalize my words.
Konton: I'll Just end this before this gets serious.
