Hey guys, this is chapter 2. Thanks for the reviews, it's really awesome to know somebody enjoys your work. Anyway this chapter is about back story. I'll try to keep the chapters short, because i don't want to upload every month. If you have any ideas you'd like me to put in my story feel free to tell me.

Marth sent messagers to all countries, and scouts to know where the menace came from. They left south; unaware the danger was up north. Hundreds of miles away, the dark city of Thebes, sealed by the Divine Dragon's power, had been opened again. The tower of Thebes, located in the center of the city, was a powerful artifact if used in a correct way. That is why the gods above, looking after the worlds, had sealed it away in the first place.
"The seal has been broken, goddess", a voice resonated in the hall.
"I've felt it", answered a feminine voice "It is my duty to seal it back".
"But, great dragon, didn't you seal it with help from other gods."
"I did Gotoh, but I'm confident I don't need their help resealing it."
"I… am confused, goddess, no one has ever bothered to tell me how everything started", revealed Gotoh.
"Then sit down, and listen to this tale", invited Naga.
Hundreds of years ago, the world was a disaster. The Divine Dragon Naga didn't care about the world. She landed on it one day and was astonished by its beauty and the extravagant terrains. She decided to throw foundations to this world, and created new lands. Many continents were formed. Archanea, Elibe, Magvel, Tellius, those were just a few of the continents spread across the Great Sea. She gave birth to children and assigned them the task of protecting the lands. Her two first children were charged of looking over Archanea. They were Tiki and Nagi. But Tiki was too unstable and she got sealed away in the Ice shrine. Nagi started looking after Archanea like she was tasked, but quickly fell into a sleep that would last thousands of year. She woke only once, to give Falchion to the hands that could use it. Naga then sent Medeus but he became consumed with darkness and shadow. Confused, his thoughts turned black. Destruction was the only thing he could think about. To Magvel she sent Fomortiis, but like his brother he became obsessed with leading instead of guarding. She had no choice but to give the humans help. Five orbs appeared from the sky and they used them to seal him away. She sent Myrrh afterwards, which succeeded in her job. She sent Nergal to go to Elibe. He started living happily in the continent, but succumbed to his dark thoughts too. He experimented on dragons to extract their quintessence. He made an army of beasts to attack the humans. Naga intervened, asking her son Volcania to forge 8 divine weapons. They were used to seal away Inun, Nergal's ally and sister, as well as her legions of dragons. But when they turned to Nergal, he disappeared. He reappeared after, but was stopped by Naga's twins, Nils and Ninian. In Tellius, the goddess of Dawn, Ashunera, resides. She was feeling alone, and wanting to be perfected, she separated herself into two, causing a catastrophe. The entire continent was flooded, all but the highest mountains of Tellius. Naga had one child after that, Gharnef, and one grandson, Grima, son of Medeus and Inun. Both had disappeared some time ago.
"You would trust me with this truth?"
"You underestimate yourself, Gotoh", Naga replied "Do you have any questions?"
"I do… First, who are my parents and Xant's? And second, you haven't revealed anything about Thebes. I would like to know more about it."
"Thebes was a mistake. I, Tiki and Nagi created this place to be a connecting point for the gods and the humans. But some dark magic intervened in our work. We were pushed back, and Thebes woke up for the first time. It generated soldiers, and having no choice, we buried it under sand. The tower was sealed by me, Tiki, Nagi, Nils, Ninian and Myrrh."
"What about Xant's and my parents?"
"I am".
Gotoh stepped back a little. He always thought he was the child of nameless manaketes. He had found his mother! He had brothers and sisters!
"May I ask one more question?" asked Gotoh.
"Of course, Gotoh", replied Naga.
"Why haven't you sent somebody to help against Medeus or against Thebes now?"
"I did, Gotoh", quickly replied Naga "I did send one of your brothers. His name is…
