A/N – This idea has been on my mind for ages and I finally decided to sit down and write it. I'm not entirely sure how its going to work, and the story may change, but I hope you will all enjoy it any way.

"We cannot do this!" A voice called out in the darkness. Shapes moves, here and there but nothing was definite. Except the next man's voice.

"We must! To save our world, we must!"

"But the will be children, young ones!" The first argued.

"I know and that is why this is going to work. With a child's strength, enthusiasm and innocence...our plan cannot go wrong."

"But why children?"

"I just explained." The second man's voice was laced with irritation. "I know you do not like the idea, many of us do not. But it is the only way to save this world and all of its people."

"How will it be done?" The first asked after a moment of silence.

"I have six parents down stairs; each will be given a power for their unborn child."

"Six? I thought it was agreed to be eight?"

"It was and it is. I have foreseen that two of the couples will have second children. These, the youngest of the eight, will be the most powerful on their own. But when all eight come together, it will be unlike anything this world has seen." Movement in the darkness led to a soft glowing light being introduced. Two men stood beside each other, standing in front of a table with a book on it.

"So, each child will have a power?"

"Yes, each power will, in someway, correspond to their quality."

"Quality?" The first asked confusion in his voice and on his face.

"Have I not told you how they will be introduced to the world?" The man grinned. "These eight children will be Gods!"

"What?" The other spluttered.

"Of course it will not openly be known who they are. The world will know that eight Gods are destined to save them, only the children themselves, and perhaps their families, will know the truth."

"This is madness!"

"But it will work, I have foreseen it." The second made to leave but the first man blocked him.

"These qualities they have, what are they?"

"The most powerful virtues in the world, in a man. They are Courage, Friendship, Love, Reliability, Knowledge, Sincerity, Hope and Light!"

A year after the meeting between these two men, six children where born from six certain couples. Another four years later and two more children were born to two of the couples. And the world had its eight Gods that it kept praying to, to save it from the darkness rapidly spreading through it. And the two men who had put the plan into action disappeared completely, to resurface when the saviors of the world were ready.
