Hey, I never said I expected this to be one of my more popular stories.

-

Just so you all know, this story involves a lot of stuff from the computer game Black&White. I recommend getting it - its fun, even if its a little old now. Luckily for the rest of you, in depth game knowledge is not required for this fic.

This was all happening so quickly, he thought as the other humans started bowing.

They asked him to be their god, and even though it sounded weird he said yes.

"Then let us finish the temple!" They said and ran off to a half-finished building.

"A temple?" He said to himself.

A different voice said, "Yeah, it'll look great when it's finished!"

-

-

He yelped in shock.

"I told you to let me handle this," snapped another voice.

-

In front of his vision there floated a old man dressed in white and a purplish horned beast-thingy.

"Greetings," said the man.

"We're yer conscious!"

"I am Lupine, and my - ahem - counterpart here is Luster."

"Nice ta meet ya, Boss!"

-

"Honestly," Lupine said as he swatted Luster, "Can't you see he's still disoriented? Master -" he paused.

"Say, I never did catch your name."

"You call yerself his conscious and ya don't know his name? Well, what do ya call yerself Boss?"

-

The crimson being that was currently floating over a house thought for a moment.

"Yuugioh," he said.

-

"Weird name, but whatever ya want is fine by me Boss!"

"Well then, Master Yuugioh," Lupine continued, "We are here to guide you as you make your way through Eden."

-

-

"Hey, dey finished da temple! Check it out!"

A beam of red light pulsed as it projected into the sky from the pointed rooftop.

"Marvelous, isn't it," Lupine was saying as they headed inside.

-

-

-

A few days later, Yuugioh was amusing himself by creating various Disciples when he first spotted the huge wooden gates.

"Lupine," he asked, knowing the lighter one's answer would be more factual then Luster's, "What's behind those doors?"

"I'm not too sure," Lupine answered.

"Let's go take a look!" Luster said.

-

The scenery on the other side of the gates looked very inviting, but as Yuugioh tried going over the gates a invisible wall bounced him back.

"Hey! What's with da wall? Throw something at it ta break it!" Luster yelled.

"I don't think that will work," Lupine said worriedly, but then a voice from below called up to them.

"Hello up there!"

-

Yuugioh flew down to see a woman had walked out of a little door and was waiting for him.

"I was wondering when you would come by. Greetings Mighty One. My name is Sable. I am a Trainer of Creatures, and I challenge you to open these gates."

-

Somehow, the words 'I challenge you' seemed to echo with a déjà vu sort of familiarity.

"I accept your challenge," he said as if automatically.

-

"Good," Sable said with a laugh.

-

"Behind these gates are three wondrous Creatures. They can grow as tall as mountains, and can perform Miracles."

Before Yuugioh could ask what a Miracle was, Sable went on to talking about 'Gate Stones'.

-

-

-

"I still say we shoulda busted open da house," Luster mumbled as the trio went in search of a certain kind of rock.

"I think it was noble of you to rescue the poor boy," Lupine said, pointedly ignoring Luster's complaints.

Yuugioh just ignored both of them.

"There it is, just where he said it would be," he said as he grabbed the rock.

-

The village sculptor needed the rock to make a replacement for the third Gate Stone, which had been accidentally washed out to sea some time ago.

"Yeah, we're gonna get a Creature! I say we get a big and powerful one. A real fighter!" Luster yelled to fill in the time spent waiting for the finished stone.

"Why not one that's nice? A nice little Creature would help us tend to the village," Lupine argued.

-

Luster laughed.

"Who cares? I just wonder if we can get more den one…"

-

"Sir? It's finished - Sir?"

The sculptor was trying to get his attention. Yuugioh thanked the man, who danced with delight at being thanked by a god, and carried the stone to the pillar where the other two were standing.

-

-

When the last one was put on top of the pile, it sank into the pillar and out of sight, while the gates opened.

"Excellent," Sable said.

"Now you can go forth and claim your Creature."

Yuugioh flew by her, glancing around before darting into a side canyon. There, he saw three things that had to be Creatures.

-

"Hey, dey're tiny! We got cheated!" Luster said.

"They're just young," Lupine said, "But they'll grow fast. Which one do we want?"

-

Yuugioh looked at the three. There was a cow and a monkey, playing some sort of rough wrestling game. The other one, a leopard by the looks of it, broke it up gently despite her smaller size.

It was a female, and her coloration was far from ordinary. Then all three spotted him. The cow waved and mooed while the monkey screeched and jumped, but the leopard calmly groomed herself.

-

Yuugioh picked her.

"What?"

"Are yeh sure Boss?"

-

"Yes," he said, and when they tried to argue further Yuugioh glared fiercely at them.

Wisely, they said nothing more.
