Prologue: The Myth of the Ancients

There was only aata,

HE WHO WAS, HE WHO IS, HE WHO WILL BE.

But there is only aata. He felt alone.

Out of His loneliness, He created.

Out of himself, He created space, time, and essence.

But He was still lonely.

He put in light and energy, stars and plants, gases and rocks.

He found a place he truly liked, so He created the land and the sea.

He created the sky and the horizon.

He created mountains and valleys. He created hills and flat terrains.

He created islands and beaches. He created everything that could be.

The entire universe was filled with stars, planets, nebulae, and quasars.

It was bright and beautiful. It was chaotic and peaceful.

 He still felt lonely.

So He reached into himself and grabbed a piece of his essence.

From it, the Great Ancient Gods were born.

The first of these Ancients was Miqeal.

Then came Diablos, Drakronos, and Osiris.

Nidhogg and Tiamat were next.

The youngest of the Ancients was Lucifer.

Each of these Ancients created Lesser Gods of their own.

Miqeal created the angels.

Diablos created the demons of sin.

Drakonos created the dragons.

Tiamat and Nidhogg created horrors of their own.

Then the Lesser Gods shaped the world.

Lucifer wanted no part in any of it.

Something sinister was brewing deep within him.

The Ancients tried to win their Father's love,

Nothing could satisfy Him. 

He still felt empty.

The Ancients felt a great shame.

They failed as sons, but Lucifer was uncaring.

He was distant and grew a resentful hate.

He devised a plan to kill their Father.

Lucifer was cunning,

He seduced the other Ancients to aid him.

Together, under the influence of Lucifer,

The Ancients killed their Father.

Each obtained a part of Him.

Miqeal got His strength.

Diablos got His scorn.

Tiamat got His vileness.

Nidhogg got His loneliness.

Drakonos got His wisdom.

And Lucifer took His eyes.

 Once the enhancement wore off,

The Ancients quickly came to their senses,

They captured and imprisoned Lucifer.

They split a part of the world and made it his prison,

That place was called Tartarus or Hell.

Diablos' demons were to be his jailers.

Lucifer's evil plans were stopped.

The world experienced peace again and to ensure it,

The Ancients split the world into the 6 Realms.

Each ruled their realm graciously.
