One may be surprised that when one immortal existence meets a mortal one and both become entwined with each other, the mortal ascends into an immortal transcendent one. Such is the power of Anima. When Luke met the one man who will chase him across all of history and space—breaching through the universes—it set into motion a destiny unwritten.
One that would scare the entire Pantheon and Division.

"You have a new quest," Michael informed Luke as he looked at the quest log during his brother's final class of the first day. "Apparently, you have to make your first creation with Anima within the next two years to gain a reward."
He remembered the look of that boy during Luke's first class of the day. When the teacher first introduced Luke to the rest of the class, every other child looked at him with respectful awe and interest yet it was only that one boy that made Michael shiver in fear. It felt like the boy wasn't a normal one in the slightest and held a dark shadow that made him see that he'd tear through the Daleks and Cybermen with no issue. He even saw a spark in his eyes when he saw Luke that made him want to protect Luke even more than now.
He saw the spark of obsession within those golden yellow eyes.
"Oh?" Luke mentally asked Michael. "Does it specify what kind of creation it should be?"
Luke was asking this question because he did know that, despite his passion project Blood of Anima, there was also some lore he could use from the game RuneScape. He could create Jas and her sisters or even forcibly create Guthix to help him out in this new universe where Time Lords and Gods exist.
Yes, he did play that game too as he created his own game. Sadly, the last quest from the main RuneScape game he played or was released was when Rasial and the City of Um had been the latest expansion. He did get to go up to Level 95 Necromancy just before he died and finished the quest to unlock Rasial as a boss.
"It just said 'your first creation of Anima before your seventh birthday' so it seems like you have a couple of years to make it," Michael replied. "Yet the reward for it seems a tad vague."
"How vague?" Luke asked inquistively while he was doing his schoolwork.
"As if the reward is left unknown on purpose," Michael replied back.
Luke sighed at the revelation that the reward for this quest had been left purposefully unknown. He had a small nagging feeling that some quests in the future had unknown rewards and it would take some time to find out what they were. As for the quest itself, he decided to simply let it be for now.
There was no trouble in waiting for the right time to make something from Anima.
=={DW:NG}==
Luke was wrong in his assumption that he could wait to create something with Anima. Just after school was done for the day before Christmas break, the events of The Christmas Invasion was soon to begin.
He knew that the Doctor was soon to regenerate and reappear in Jackie's apartment after regenerating into his tenth incarnation, yet the androids that signaled the Sycorax's arrival were already here. It wasn't mentioned in the show just how long the blighted things were here for, but Luke and Michael both knew that things were beginning to slip into the hell that is where the show truly took off.
"So, it's almost time, is it?" Luke asked Michael in his mental world. "Almost time for Ten to show up?"
"It seems like it," Michael replied in a concerned tone in his voice. "Do you plan on making your first creation to help the Doctor?"
Luke didn't need to reply as his parents drove through the crowded London traffic. He had already pulled up the plans to create his first being using Anima.
Sadly, this first creation wasn't from his game Blood of Anima but was actually from the game RuneScape. He wanted to create the guardian of Anima itself, Telos the Warden, as he wasn't sure about creating any of the deities as his first creation. He needed a guardian to protect him and his parents, yet while Telos fit this role, Luke did understand he had to think more long-term than a simple golem.
Then, as if an answer burst forth from the depths of his mind, he made plans to recreate the one God he could trust the most: Guthix, the God of Balance.
