《The Birth of a God》Demigods
Advertisement
Zero planned to create more worlds like the earth, with creatures different from humans.
Planets already existed everywhere, but the ones that caught Zero's attention were the binary stars. Two stars gravitating around each other.
They seemed to dance together in the vast universe.
He sent one demigod to every binary star near the Earth and when only fifteen remained, he stopped.
Three were left on Heaven, he named them Gabriel, Uriel, and Raphael.
Uriel guarded heaven, Raphael imbued immortal bodies with souls and Gabriel created the bodies.
Six were sent to earth to live like humans. They had the knowledge on how to access magic. One would be by the king's side, and another would accompany the current wizard. And six were stored.

On the road to Mierna, a horse sped through villages to get there fast.
Riding this horse, was Ariel, anxious to see who the new king of Mierna was.
After two days on the road, Ariel found herself on a meadow, her horse refused to move past this point.
It was already dark, so she decided to camp in that meadow. While setting up camp, she heard a loud noise coming from the woods nearby, but she didn't think much about it.
Before going to sleep, she created some darts made out of ice.
After some time, Ariel was woken up by the sound of her horse falling, she immediately burst out of the tent and saw a tall humanoid by the side of the now dead horse, a snow fairy.
Ariel did what she thought was best, she hurled a dozen darts in the fairy's direction, and when they hit her, they shattered.
"Pathetic, using ice to hurt a snow fairy? Are you trying to be killed?"
Ariel didn't answer, she had brought a sword with her in case an emergency happened.

That was the time to use it, she launched herself forward, aiming for the fairy's heart.
The fairy created an ice barrier in front of her, and Ariel's sword got lodged in it.
She made a knife and started breaking the ice.
The sword was soon freed, but it was no use, the snow fairy created a spear and threw it at Ariel.
No sound was heard, not a scream, nor an impact. Just a cloud of dust where Ariel had been.
Once the dust had settled, a man was seen,, as tall as the fairy. The spear had
vanished.
He snapped his fingers and materialized a sword, asking, "Can you speak, beast?"
"Who are you calling beast? My name is Eirwen, and who are you supposed to be?"
He appeared behind Eirwen and in a swift motion severed her head.
"My name is Oya."
He turned to Ariel and said, "I was sent here by Zero, I'll accompany you on your journey for knowledge."

Zero received a report from the wizard-god, the first report from the human gods, where he mentioned he had slain a beast that was attacking Ariel and it spoke with him.
The humanoids were rational, something he never expected.
If he had known, he would have been helping, they were probably suffering without a god.
He searched around the world for them, and to his surprise, they were just a few hundred kilometers away from Mierna.
They had a shrine to him, although he never helped them. He focused on their minds, and they were different from the humans, they were charitable by nature.
Of course, exceptions existed, most snow-related humanoids had a nature similar to that of humans.
Zero decided to send the other six demigods to this city, the only problem was their appearance, they looked like humans.

He changed their bodies and each one received a distinct humanoid form.
They received the bodies of an Ifrit, a Nymph, a Dryad, a Slime King, a Fairy, and a Pantherian.
They were immediately sent to the city called Hiera to aid the humanoids.
--
Weise waited patiently for his appointment with Sinfl, the shrine he asked to be build was finished.
At the time the entrance to the throne room had been opened by , six figures materialized in front of it.
All of them seemed humanoid, but they had an almost angelic aura.
Sinfl witnessed the scene. When they entered the room, the Ifrit said, "We were sent by Zero, he has noticed your efforts and your true nature, we will be his representatives in Hiera."
He couldn't be happier, the god that created everything noticed their existence?
"Zero also wanted to reward the humanoids for having such pure nature, state your wish, and if it is reasonable, it'll be granted."
Sinfl pondered on that, he first thought about asking for a way to win the war, but a better idea appeared in his mind, "I want to form an alliance with the humans."
A bright light flashed in the center of the room and Zero appeared.
"Hahahaha, you're interesting, Slime King! You could've asked for anything, yet you ask for peace?"
"I think we deserve nothing else, that's all we want, peace."
Zero recalled the snow fairy that had attacked Ariel and asked, "Was the snow fairy called Eirwen associated with you?"
Sinfl knew she was dead, killed by a mysterious man that appeared out of nowhere.
It was probably someone sent by Zero, but he didn't want to lie.
"Yes, I had no choice at the time."
Zero turned to Weise and asked him to enter. "I want both of you to witness this."
He snapped his fingers and created a small snow fairy, and imbued it with Eirwen's soul.
"I want to give this fairy a second chance, I refuse to believe her nature is bad."
Sinfl rushed to hug her, she was his best friend after all. He looked at Zero with tears in his eyes and said, "Thank you Zero, but what do you think about the alliance between the humanoids and the humans?"
"That's not something I can decide, I'll arrange a meeting between you and the current human king, but I can't promise anything."
Sinfl nodded and thanked him again, Zero vanished and the six demigods left.
Weise, Sinfl, and Eirwen were the only ones left on the throne room.
"I told you he would soon notice us, he is our creator after all."
