"In the beginning, there was nothing. But in this nothingness, for reasons
we do not know, there came beings, the First Ones. These were beings of
energy, of power. They began to shape kingdoms, lands. They lived in
peace, and harmony.
Or so it would seem. For, in their hearts, they craved control, to push the line of power. They pushed to far. Their worlds fell to darkness, and they were destroyed, sent to live in the shadows. And it would be this death that would bring about the shadow realm." He paused, and looked at Yami. "But 1 survived. The One, the strongest of the first, had remained pure, and was spared the descent.
Now, this being, during his search of his universe, discovered a planet, one barren of live. And he set out to recreate it. But he needed help. So, he created the gods. These beings were modeled after him, but could only control 1 piece of power. Some set out to create water, others crops, and some life. Some took control of areas. They would become the Egyptian, the Greek, the Asian, the Norse Gods.
IN this world of celestials, this realm of light, households were made, the most powerful being the house of time. And to this house was born a god, Destiny. This god held more power then any could believe, and rivaled even The One."
Geno looked at him. "Nice lesson, now get to the point."
Agile frowned. "This is the point. Pay attention, you might learn something." He looked around, and everyone remained quiet. "Around this time, the shadow realm had began to respond to the death and despair that had created it. Feeding off the power of the dead First Ones, the demons where born, a twisted, vile race. They hated the gods, for they had been given all the perks they never got. The demons lead an attack against the gods, killing many angels and gods. In the end, Destiny faced off with their king.
As they fought, the demon king told Destiny that he was fighting a losing battle. When Destiny asked way, the demon told him that he had seen the future, and like him Destiny could never win. Both of them would be killed by a child of the household of time. He told him to never consummate with a goddess, or he would face death. Destiny chuckled, and killed the demon, who was reduced to a stone statue.
But, after that battle, Destiny's heart became heavy, fearing what the king had told him that day. He grew wary of his kin, and murdered all but his 2 sisters, Fate and Luck, who could never kill him, for all three had sworn never to bring harm to one another. But still, he worried that maybe, a distant relative remained, a unlce he had missed, a cousin that had hidden, and now he had only angered them. He knew he had to become stronger, better then whatever could kill him. He searched, to find a god or goddess that had power that could aid him. One that few rivaled in power. And he found one..." He looked at Yami. "In Egypt. It was there that he discovered the goddess Isis. She had discovered the powers of life, and Destiny craved it. It was on his mind, all the time, to take this power. He began by bribing the god Set to kill his own brother Osiris. Set did this, but Isis remained pure she would not accept Destiny's offer to help her return her husband to life. That is where Destiny became desperate. He romanced the goddess, and slowly poisoned her mind and heart, corrupting her. Even after he husband was revived, she longed for Destiny, and in the end, murdered Osiris."
Kevin frowned. "That is not how the legend goes!"
"These are not legends." Agile replied. "Destiny then asked the goddess to join him, to help him defeat the demons, for he now believed that they were the force that would kill him. He had learned that the demons had a legend of one known only for the title Hunter, that would share the blood from the line of Time. He feared this demon, and knew he had to make his strike now, prevent this demon from taking his power. He asked Isis to help him, but she refused. She told him there was only way she would join him....he would have to take her. For all his knowledge, Destiny had long forgotten the demon's warning, and made love to her. But in those moments afterward, the voice of the demon king called ot him, and he rushed to the statue of the demon King."
"I know of this." Geno said. "The gods learned that their was a chosen one that would destroy the pharaoh, one who had been baptized in the blood of a god. I was that child, and they tried to kill me. The goddess Nephthys told me so after Pharaoh Atemu banished me."
"You are wrong. That is not the story." He looked at Geno, who was shocked. "It was there, that Destiny finally asked, 'What will kill me, for I have consummated with a goddess.'"
"And the demon replied, 'From that goddess will be born 2 infants, both male, from 2 eggs of the woman. One shall be a martyr, doomed to die in battle with one of your servants. That one is not to fear. It is the other, his twin brother, that will be your death. That baby will bear your image, and will have powers that none of us can even dream of. Upon his brother's death, he shall ascend past you, and bring your death, and become king of the heaven, forever ruler, council to the One.'"
"Destiny ran back to Isis, and found the demon statue had spoken true, she was with children. He knew he needed to destroy his sons, and did what he had to do. With Isis' blessing, for she would do anything for him, he used his powers over time to increase the embryos' ages, till the twins were ready to be born. He then brought forth the first one, screaming and reaching for his father. But Destiny had no time to show love to his heir. Using the knowledge he had gathered from the demons, he opened a portal to the Shadow realm, and hurled the infant into it, dooming it to death."
Serenity paled. "How could a father do that to his newborn son!"
"How indeed?" Agile asked. "But, while he was doing this, Isis was giving birth to the second son. But his fate would be different then his brother. For the gods of Egypt had learned of Destiny's plans, and reached the decision to save their newly born realtivies. They sent the goddess Nephthys to save the infants. She saw Destiny toss the first one, and believing him dead, took the second baby with her. The gods mourned the infant's death, and then made plans to save his brother."
Agile paused, and looked at Geno. "But they were all wrong. Both children were born with the power of their bloodline, and not even the shadow realm could kill the first born. The baby held some of Destiny's power, and used it to age himself, allowing darkness to creep into him, increase his strength and intelligence, to give him a fighting chance. Soon, he reached the age of 20, and fought his way to earth, where he fell in the desert."
Geno looked at him. "Are you trying to tell me....I am the son of a god and goddess?"
"I am not trying, you are." Agile replied. "Why else would the gods pay attention to you? Why would the honor you, protect you? Because you were a powerful immortal? No. They learned of you, but knew they could never reveal you, without envoking your father."
No one could believe it. Sure, Geno was powerful....but a god?
"tell me this..." Geno said, struggling to his feet. "How do you know all this."
Agile smiled. "Nephthys took your brother, and brought him to the great gods of China, and had them raise him in their ways." He leaned forward. "As he trained, learning their ways, they named him after his speed and agility."
Yami shook his head. "Agile."
