Why were the gods so fearful of the 7th Supreme? Why did they fear the boy so much that his parents had to send him away? Why did they leave him stranded on the lonely planet of Zandor? Why did gods of such prestige and power like Ray and Alexis have to resort to such a means? And why did the Olympians and Asgardians – pantheons of great power and authority – have no choice but to stand aside, bidding their time and building up an army for the boy? Why? Why? Why? Why did they have to humble themselves so? To the point where even some of them were against keeping the boy alive for they feared for their lives as well. What could possibly cause one to conceive the thought of killing one of their family?
Fear
Fear was the driving force for many of the decisions people made. Just like determination was a powerful driving force, fear was also a powerful driving factor. And fear was the reason why the gods sought the head of the Supreme. There were too
As Odin moved through the serene space of the galaxy he had discovered – well, Mimir had discovered – his eyes took pleasure at the grand sight he was beholding. Several lights shone from so far away that they looked like several grains of sand. These were Primordial Stars; stars which had just been birthed and remained untainted by the Beings of the Universe. Their energy was so pure that Odin could feel himself being refreshed every second and every minute.“I could get used to this,” Odin could understand why Mimir had chosen to hide here. Because there was no life yet born in this galaxy, it was easy to pick out the only one there was. It was like a beacon of light in a dark corner of the world; easy to see and simple to detect. And from that aura Odin felt a pressure that was nonexistent before. The God of Wisdom’s aura was much stronger than it was before. Clearly he had benefitted a lot from this place. After all, he had monopolized the re
The Norse Gods told of a story; a story of the end of times. They told of a time when their lineage will end; their blood dispersed to the furthest ends of the Universe – the Ragnarok. For millennia they had been trapped under its curse, fated to die by the hands of beings of destruction and be reborn only moments after. It was because of this dastardly curse that they who had been born long before the times of the Origin Divine Artefacts hadn’t mastered the power to go against them. For their constant birth and rebirth left them weak and unimpressive. Yet that curse had been broken by the one called Odin, granting him the title of Allfather. They grew stronger and finally had the power worthy of beings who had been born in the early years of the formative Universe.Ragnarok was known only to the Norse. The other Pantheons had their own trials, and they called them by other names. But they had not faced their trials yet, and they did mock the Asgardians for their fa
Eternals loved to hide. They were like moles that hid in the soil below. And it was difficult to find them without help from one of their own. Eternals had many Legends, yet only a few remained now. One of these few was the one known as the Cold Emperor; the Eternal called Winks. Winks was a man who had lived many years. He had seen several eras come and go, and he had served under many Supremes. Over the many years he had remained alive, watching his friends and family die and his life gradually lose its meaning, he had changed in a lot of ways. He had grown from a playful child, to an optimistic teen and then to an adult who had experienced the harsh realities of the world and had grown disenchanted with it. Yet there was one thing that had never changed. There was one thing that remained the same no matter what happened to Winks.His loyaltyHe may be the reigning Emperor of the Eternals, but he hadn’t forgotten his vow to the Supremes. No matter what he became, h
The first face that Morgana saw was James’s. His eyes were full of worry and his countenance grim. In his hands was a blood soaked towel and on the bed next to him was a small bowl of hot water which was now reddened with the blood from the towel. Next to James was Grandpa Winks. The Cold Emperor’s eyes were grim as he beheld the broken state of his granddaughter–in–law. His helpless expression quickly brightened up when he saw Morgana’s eyes flutter open.“Are you okay?” James asked hastily once he noticed that Morgana was finally awake. It took a while for Morgana’s senses to return to her, and once it did she understood where exactly the blood was coming from. For her nose and ears were bleeding profusely, as though they had been pierced through by many small needles. And James had made it his sacred duty to keep cleaning her up.Slowly the memories of what she had seen came rushing back to her, and tears fell fr
The Cold Emperor left the others behind and walked into the light. Surrounded by runic images and the smell of Edict, he could see and sense an awful lot. Before him the ethereal image of a man with two ravens on his shoulders took shape. The man had only one exposed eye, for the other was covered by a golden eyepatch. Yet that one eye seemed to contain the wonders of the world and its secrets. He may have seen this man only a few times in his life, but Grandpa Winks knew exactly who he was. He was the famous vagabond God King. He was the one they called Allfather.“God King Odin, we meet again,” the Cold Emperor was servant to no one, only the Supreme. Although he did display his respect to the god before him by slightly bowing his head, that was all he did. He wasn’t going to bow in subservience for Odin wasn’t his Allfather. This level of respect was all Odin was going to get, not like the God King of Asgard was complaining.“Cold Emper
A man in white robe slowly moved through the misty atmosphere that covered the entirety of the place known as The Deep to Zandorians. In his hand was a spear that shook with the power of lightning, and his robe was lined with several golden writings that formed a protective barrier around him. His green eyes flashed brightly as they tore through the illusions that stood in his way. He was fully alert, for the one he sought was dangerous and crafty. And it was because he was on the alert that he felt the presence of another.“Who is it?” Indra asked with furrowed brows. The aura that approached wasn’t that of darkness, and it wasn’t hidden either. It was intentionally revealed, and that was why Indra felt that this person was no enemy. If not, he would have attacked immediately he felt the aura of this person and would have worried about the consequences of his decisions later.“It is I,” a man wearing a very clean suit appeared befor
Every Higher World had one great similarity. It wasn’t in the kind of goods they exported, or the fact that they all had powerful warriors. After all, every world had goods that fetched them a great sum because these goods were found nowhere else. And though it seemed improbable because of the vast number of worlds there were, each world had its own signature export. For some, their exports were even human resources – strong warriors hardened by war. As for having powerful warriors, it wasn’t a distinct feature since to become a Higher Planet, that planet had to have a trove of powerful men and women. What really made Higher Worlds similar was their connection to God Academies.Each Higher World was a place of longing for those of the Lower Realms, for it was only by getting to a Higher World that a man or woman will be in touching distance of the elite, God Academies. The stronger the Higher World was, the greater the number of connections it had to God Aca
“Excuse me Sirs and Madams,” Maia, the one known as the Eternal Monarch by her people who had no idea that such a title originally belonged to another, approached the table of the men and women whom she was secretly listening to. The nature of the bar, with all its noisiness and chaos made it so that its disoriented and boisterous clients didn’t notice Maia’s actions. And even if they had, it was highly unlikely that they would have paid any attention to her. “Oh, young lad. How can we help you?” one of the women liked Maia’s polite attitude and offered herself to be of any assistance. Although they couldn’t see Maia’s face, they could tell from the tone of her voice that she was very young. Besides, her aura was largely youthful.The others had faces reddened from booze and wine. Yet even they liked the stranger’s politeness. This was the difference between Greater and Lesser Celestials. Greater Celest
