AN: Tomorrow. Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow.. Tomorrow will probably be the start of a duel post, as I may be working on the epilogue on my end today. Which means there'll be a new story sometime in the next week or two.

As per usual, thank you all for reading thus far. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to voice them.

A full cycle would come to pass before anything of consequence was to appear. During this time, however, there was the award ceremony which was needed to give out compensations for the efforts of those within the Black Parade. Not to mention those that would ascend to Godhood, of which were Sienna, her significant other Ama'luun, and Stovahn. The last was a Lord of Chaos-to-be, and would be instrumental in the creation of the world the other two were to control.

These three stood atop the walls of the Necropolis, overlooking a sea of individuals from the Guild. Of which numbered as eight million, four hundred and thirty six thousand, nine hundred and fifty three guild members. Yes. They were quite the force to reckon with, and would spread throughout the core worlds of the Pantheon. Whereupon they would live, love, and grow, but not before I made sure that their allegiance to my person was absolute.

In any case, I had brought them all here, and thanked them all for their service to my person. Of whom were then gifted with a medium sized bag filled to the brim with gold, jewels, and Discs. Next, those who performed outstandingly, and had become Higher Immortals, were given a small portion of land with a sizable home upon it within the worlds around Terra. For only those of whom had become Gods, have already been birthed upon the world, or those specifically chosen by my person will be allowed to live upon our world.

This then led to the anointing of the new Gods and Goddess who would then rule over the world of Amak Duul as equals in all things. Some may believe that I cursed the trio, whilst only a few believed it to be a blessing. However, the truth is far more simpler.

For you see, each and every world within our Universe holds a triad of Gods and Goddesses. These groups hold the perfect balance of red, white, and black which govern over the whole of their world. Yes. They are very much needed, as without one the only option for that world is complete destruction until another comes into being.

This is so, as if a world is completely dominated by the Red of Neutrality, then not much will be done in the progress of the world. Which would leave only a world that was dominated by Nature and its Wildlife. There would be no good or evil, only what is the "Law of the Jungle" prevalent over all others. Which is why the world they are being sent to is full of such savagery, and will be needing to tame it.

If a world has been taken over by the White Light of Purity, then everyone and everything will be persecuted for simply acting out in their own nature. For example, the Goblin Tribes. These creatures fight, steal, and in some cases, abduct females of other races in order to give birth to more of their kind. Yes. In such a world they would all be hunted down into extinction, of which would begin to upset the natural order of balance. What is more, all other races which are not of the race that claims to be the most "Righteous", "Good", and "Pure" will subjugate or eradicate all other species solely due to the fact that they are different and not of liken minds.

Then there is the example of those worlds that have been dominated by the Shadows of Chaos and Death. For upon these worlds, all life has been removed from the equation. Thus leaving only a war-torn land in which very little survives. Those that do must fight greatly in order to overcome all odds, but for naught. For although they have fought greatly to the end, the world they lived upon was doomed to die, and nothing they do will make a difference.

Therefore, a balance must be maintained, and if any of you are wondering if there is something keeping my person in check, then look no further. For one of the duties which had been imposed upon my wife, Sarah, is to do thusly. It is she, as well as my son Nox, who keep my person from reacting too strongly in favour of one or the other. Thus keeping my person sane in the midst of chaos.

In any case, this trio of beings were then elevated to the ranks of Gods. Yes. Gods, not Minour Gods as was promised before. This is so, as they would each be given one of the three Gifts which I had received from God King Azazel so long ago. However, instead of imbuing symbols with such gifts to be absorbed into their persons, I opted for a more direct approach. One in which would cause their persons to reel back as I forced a minour copy of such things into their bodies.

Yes. After accepting such things did they fall as I blessed their persons with what I had gained. No. I did not feel much of anything beyond a slight drain of a percent of a percent of my strength. Of which caused my person to wonder what would happen if I imparted a being with the full gift. Well, such a thing will never be spoken of, as my experiments are my own and not for the faint of heart.

In any case, this scene caused quite a bit of commotion amongst those that were Lesser and Higher Immortals. so much so, that they grew angry until they noted that the trio had stood up and bowed in my direction. This included all other Guild members, to which I felt an unfamiliar surge in my strength, but disliked it immediately. For although having such beings bow towards my person created such a thing, it was far too easy to become addicted. hence the reason why all are forbidden to ever doing such a thing towards my person. As well as to why I only require a simple acknowledgement of my presence.

Yes. I did and still do dislike such actions, but now is not the time to speak of it. For after such ceremonies were over, I gave leave for all of them to depart towards the other worlds, and to make merry as they were all home.

This then led to a small ceremony between I and Sarah. One in which only my Undying, servants, and those who had joined my Pantheon were allowed to attend. For it was our wedding ceremony, and it was beautiful. Enough so that I had to wipe several imaginary tears which beaded up along the edges of my mental self, which was then mimicked by my physical form. The beauty and majesty in which I had beheld that turn will forever be remembered as one of the most joyous occasions within my long life. One which has been in contest when my son, Nox, was born into the world not so long ago.

Yes. Nox is only a few cycles old, and I had been around to witness such a spectacle, and was even given leave to hold him within a few mere moments after his birth. He was, and still is, my adorable, little boy.

Which begs the query. Does anyone know how long it takes for a Goddess who has been inseminated by an Ageless to produce an offspring? No? Then allow my person to open the doors in answering such a thing. For it takes nearly a full millennia of years to bring about the offspring which became Nox. In this time period, we became worried about such a thing. That is, until we gained ourselves a Goddess of Fertility, and it was assured to us that we will have a child, but would need a deity of Divination in order to accurately predict when he or she will come to pass.

However, that is jumping too far ahead in the story.

During the rest of this cycle was one of perceived happiness and tranquility. For I had gained my world of Terra, and would not allow anyone to take it from my person. However, this did not stop the surrounding Gods and Goddesses from trying. As many others would come to my Pantheon with sweet words full of milk and honey that would be pressed into mine and others' ears. These would then hope to try and pull us all away with great promises. Promises in which I had already given over to those within my Pantheon, and would simply show them off to these delegates as soon as they speak of such things.

For example, one of these beings came in the form of an Elder Mindflayer, and desired Beelzebub's world of Konaku. In it, the creature promised many Broodmothers for the races, as well as a way to satiate the ever present hunger that afflicted all who were of the Devourer category of Demons. However, it was soon shocked to find out that I had created a vast array of Broodmothers that were each an immortal in their own right, and could spawn thousands before their hearts combusted due to the stress of it all. Not to mention that Rojaahn had created the perfect cure for those within the category of Devourer Demons not too long ago, and had already begun in distributing the cure to all of them upon Konaku.

This, of course, did upset the Elder Mindflayer. So much so that it did try to dominate the minds of those within the space, of which was within the top floor of the Tower of Babel. To which it found only my mind was present, and was given leave to view exactly who and what I am. Yes. It did become frightened, so much so that the creature frothed at the mouth due to the insanity of it all, and was expunged from our worlds, but of course, more still came.

In one such instance, a being full of muscle and in the form of a muscle-bound fool of a Human appeared before us with a challenge towards my person. This creature dared to challenge my right to ruling over the Pantheon, and had even boasted that it had conquered hundreds of worlds already. Yes. It even put these worlds up as a stake in the match, and once more, yes, everyone was opposed to the match. However, it was mostly directed towards the challenger, of whom believed that fighting my person was unfair towards himself.

Who, in turn, was given leave to bring others into the duel at anytime. However, this one simply scoffed at the idea of needing help to fight a, and I quote, "insignificant insect wearing fur". Do you see where I am going with this? Not to mention the fact that this being claimed to be... Hmm, I've forgotten the name. Well, it began with an "S", of that I am certain of, and it ended with "The Conqueror", but no matter.

In any case, once it was revealed that I was an Ageless, the fight became rather one sided. In that the creature begged for forgiveness and mercy, but would not receive such a thing as I quashed its life force and allowed my beloved wife to devour the crystal core which was within the chest of the being. Of which caused its utter demise, to the point where it would no longer be allowed within the Reincarnation Cycle of the Universe.

Yes. Sarah did eat the core within this being, and would continue to do so even to this day. For at that time she was rather curious about such a thing, and I would later find out that it even acted as an aphrodisiac to some degree for one such as she. In that our nightly sessions would turn into a sennight and fortnight sessions.

After such a thing was taken care of, my eyes turned to the "hundreds of worlds" it had conquered, but only found disappointment as I went to collect them. For these worlds were desolate and in a state of much needed repair. Of which were then worked upon the moment I attached them to my Pantheon, and even set apart a few Minour Gods to help with the process of breathing life back into these worlds.

There number, you ask? Well, they weren't "hundreds", but in fact only three. Of which set apart a champion, of sorts, in order to find a way to bring them all back into a golden age. What they weren't expecting was it to fail, especially when I found out that their most prominent species was...

Human.
