《The Birth of a God》Farewell

Ariel woke up the next morning confused as to what had happened. She immediately tried using the magic she discovered.
It still worked, the last day had been too surreal, she couldn't believe her own memories.
Ariel decided to take one last stroll through the town after packing her bags.
She walked around saying goodbye to each and every one of her neighbors while training her newly discovered magic.
The town was lively, people walked to the only store to buy seeds for the seasonal change while others worked on the fields.
People looked at her with fear and admiration, she was using something never used before.
"Hey, girl, what is that you've got there?" Asked a man working on the stables, just in time for her to finish the first shaped object created, an ice knife.
"It's something I discovered, old man. I call it magic."
She proceeded to show off this magic, floating water in the air and changing its state, the old man was static for a moment.
"Hahaha, we always knew you'd be able to achieve great things kid!"
She said one last thing before walking away, "Please prepare a horse for me, I have to go to Mierna to share this with the king."
He looked at her with a puzzled expression, as he said, "Haven't you heard? Dian was found dead on his bed with a knife on his back."
'Is that the reason for the return of Zero?' She thought he wasn't seen in 68 years.
"I need to go to Mierna sooner then. Please hurry, I'll be back in half an hour."
Ariel wanted to say goodbye to her father. It was about time for his break, so she went to the mines.
Her father stared at her and the floating ice knife and ran in her direction, that knife resembled the weapon that killed his wife.

A snow fairy was the only known humanoid that could make such dagger, humanoids had magic abilities ever since they were born, but they always had the limitation.
--
"You will remember this scene for the rest of your life, Richard"
The fairy was holding Catherine's hair.
Tears fell from her face as her head was being severed by this maniac
"Take care of Ariel." She told Richard moments before being decapitated.
Her head rolled on the floor as blood spurted out of her neck.
"You see Richard, the law of retaliation, only one eye for one eye, or whatever it is you humans say. You took the person I loved the most, so I took your love away."
He ran as fast as he could to reach the fairy in time, but as soon as he reached her, she vanished, dropping her ice dagger.
Richard hugged Catherine's lifeless body and cried. A cry of pure despair.
--
He picked up the knife and shattered it, he bore a traumatized expression during the whole situation.
"Did you see a snow fairy, Ariel? Where did that knife come from?"
She said nothing and proceeded to show her dad what she discovered.
Ariel told him that she was going to Mierna.
"I can't make you stay here forever, can I? Go ahead, Ariel, I'll be praying for you."
"Goodbye dad, I hope I can see you again someday."
She waved at her dad as she ran towards the stables.
"Is the horse ready, old man?"
"Yes Ariel, it'll be one gold coin."
She gave the man fifty silver coins, joking, "You owed me fifty, remember?" And proceeded to run away with the horse.

Weise waited patiently in the center of the throne room for Sinfl to order him to speak.

"What do you have to report Weise? You interrupted me in my hunt."
"Sinfl, a human on the southwest settlement discovered something that could raise the probability of the humans winning this war."
The humanoids had spies all over Mierna, but as the mine was one of their main goals the best spy was positioned there.
"Somehow, humans can control the ability to exchange information, but differently from us, they can choose which path they'll follow."
"Weise, this cannot become public. Send Eirwen to kill this human as soon as possible."
Weise nodded and proceeded to walk away. Sinfl was left alone in the throne room.
'Zero helped the humans once again, will he ever help us? What have we done wrong?'
--
The Lantriarch family was shocked by the explosion that happened in the previous day, the kids suspected it was an attack made by the humanoids, while the mother thought it could be a group of rebels.
In reality, it was neither, Zero's fury made him explode.
Back on Mierna, he was trying to find a new leader, someone as just as Dian, Zero intended on choosing one of Dian's kids, but keeping one royal bloodline could be disastrous.
He started analyzing every brain in Mierna, and he found a perfect leader for the city, one that would be listened to and had purity in his mind.
A virtuous man in Zero's eyes, but a beggar in human's mind.
He materialized in front of the man, and to his surprise, he didn't even flinch. He instead looked at Zero with a respectful expression.
"Hello, Zero, do you have a matter to discuss with me?"
"Indeed, but first, can you tell me your name?"
"My name is Fadil Akram."
Zero snapped his fingers and teleported them to the castle, he had high hopes with this man.
"I appoint you to be the new king of Mierna."
Hearing the position proposed from Zero, Fadil was not surprised, and humbly answered, "I'm but a humble peasant Zero, I'm not fit to rule."
"What you are little matters to me, you are virtuous, you can lead this city in the path of justice, that's why you were chosen."
Fadil bowed, not in the way everyone did, he bowed in respect.
"Thank you, Zero. I'll lead this country forward."
Zero nodded and returned his body to heaven.
He wanted to test a few things.
First, Zero wanted to have another one of itself, a clone per say, so that he wouldn't need to regularly create new bodies and transfer souls to them.
He used his knowledge of souls to create one with his conscience. To his surprise, it was easier than he thought.
But limits existed, he could only create a soul with part of his conscience, so he decided to make a hundred of them, each one had a specific purpose.
He decided to name them Demi-gods.
He started imbuing the immortal bodies with the souls, but he noticed, some parts of him could be morally evil, so he decided not to give them full control of his powers.
He limited them, not as much as humans, but enough that they would only be able to change their respective areas.
The second thing Zero wanted to test was giving magic to someone, and he had the perfect subject for the test, Dian.
