The Legend
Life. It can be as simple as a single celled organism or as complex as a multi-cellular being. And everyday it is created. Everyday it is destroyed.
The mystery of life has always haunted the human soul. Some people spend their entire lives searching for the answer. How did we get here? Why? Those are just a few of the questions that go through our minds nearly every day. But, what would you do if suddenly an entirely new world opened up to you filled with endless possibilities? What would you do if you were about to be let in on the greatest secret of all time? The secret of the Goddess.
Life can only be born from other life, so knowing that the Goddess is alive should be no surprise. For she is very real and very alive. A being of a cosmic race would be so.
For quite some time, the Goddess used to drift between the many planes of reality and matter in complete solitude. She was alone in a world so completely dynamic, that not even the most genius of all men could even ponder her existence on a meekly comprehensible level. But she grew bored as all things do. She longed for that companionship that we as humans have and know very well. So she had a son. She created Validus, her very own son.
Validus was given the same powers as his mother possessed. But he was also given something that she did not have. The power to destroy. A wave of corruption swept the earth at the time of Validus's birth. It only lasted for a brief time, but it would end up being the omen that would predict her downfall.
As Validus grew in mind and power, he began to turn. The Goddess feared the worst, so she created the Faeries, prophets of her virtuousness. The Faeries attempted to sway to humans of Earth, who had begun to follow in the footsteps of Validus. They had little success, so the Goddess regretfully decided to banish her son to Hell, a barren wasteland set on a plane beneath that of the Earth. She isolated this plane with a powerful barrier so he would not be able to leave it for an undetermined amount of time.
As time wore on, the barrier would weaken leaving Validus's minions, called Demons, able to pass freely between the planes of Hell and earth. But still Validus could not leave. He was still confined to Hell, for the barrier in its weakened state, concentrated all its power it had left on him.
The Demons on the outside, however, found the Goddess had met her own demise of sorts. Nearly all of her powers had been drained. Her last act was to select a certain band of humans and give them all of her remaining powers as well as the gift of destruction. They would use these powers to destroy Validus bringing him and his Demons to an apocalyptic end. These humans would be named the "Chosen Ones", the sovereign saviors of earth.
