《The Book of The Gods》Chapter 1: The only God: Part 1
Advertisement
Before the worlds of heaven and hell there was an empty place. Not dark, nor cold, an amorphous void. It is inexplicable. It was overflowing with the attributes of this world, yet, it was empty. It is called Ouroboros. It is the beginning of this story, and also the end. This place is not known, humans make many theories and guess as to the purpose of its existence. Some say it's the dynamite to "The Big Bang" others say it's the void before earth. Some even say it is God. After Ouroboros and from Ouroboros the God of Gods was born. The death of the beginning sparked the flame for the end.
It is taught that this God of Gods created everything in the universes. However the story is a little bit different. The God of Gods, took it upon itself and made Gods. The Gods that not only govern the systems of this world, but are directly active in their roles. The first was "The Son of The Unknown, God of Time, Lumin."
Clasp* as the story book closes. "Okay CJ time for bed." He smiled "Daddy! Just one more, pleaseee?" I begged. "No honey, you have school in the morning, remember?" He whispered "C'mon it's your first day, it'll be fun." He smiled. "Okay" I sighed.
Father leaned his forehead against mine, holding it there for what felt like an eternity. Then he kissed my forehead and left. Father had the huge book on his shelf. When I asked what it was he said that it is an amazing story. I can't read yet, so he said that he would read it every day to me. I think about it all as I doze off to sleep.
Beep, Beep, Beep* a sound of an electric machine of some sort woke me. As I open my eyes a bright light is blinding me. It moves over revealing a white ceiling. I try to lean up but notice im strapped down. Looking at myself I realize im naked, and covered in lines and drawings of marker. I began to scream, then I woke up, tears running down my face. "CJ! Are you ok?! What's wrong?" My father said as he rushed into the room. As he saw me sitting in the corner of the bed curled up in a ball, he came closer and stooped down slowly. "CJ?" He whispered "It's ok, talk to me."

As I looked up with my tear drenched face, I tried to say something, but before I could finish one word my heart sank. My eyes closed and my mouth agape, I mutteringly howled in soft agony. He slowly came onto the bed next to me, and hugged me. The warmth and protection I felt in my father's arms made me cry even more. "I- I...mm-" I muttered "Shhhhh, Slowly" He whispered. I took some deep breaths, and turned to him. I trembled with every inhale. He brushed his thumb against my cheek, wiping away some of the tears and pulling away my soggy hair. "I miss mommy." I whispered. As I said it, it seemed to strike a chord in him. He got up and went to my dresser, and slowly came back with a brush. "I miss her too." He smiled, but his smile was one of pain. As he sat on the edge of the bed he tapped his lap, signaling for me to lay on it. I lied on daddy's lap and told him about the nightmare.
"Oh, that must have been scary." He said "But don't be afraid, I won't let anybody hurt you. Dad will protect you ok?" He promised.
"I wish mommy was here." I said. "Me too."
"I miss mommy's butter, chocolate chip cookies, and her pancakes. Mommy would always smell like pretty flowers." I said
"Yes, your mommy really loved flowers." He continued brushing my hair.
"I miss the games we all would play, like hide, and seek." I began to cry as I tensed up
"Yes, those just don't feel the same without her."
"Mommy has gone to pick flowers somewhere else. Right Daddy? In a world, where all the old people live." I cried.

"Yes sweetie" he stopped brushing. I felt a drop of water on my cheek, so I turned toward him. I saw him smiling with closed eyes as tears slid down, dropping unto me. "It'll be ok, Mommy has gone somewhere, and we won't see her again, but we have each other." He assured me. Momentary silence*...
"I love you." I said "I love you too CJ." He smiled, but this time it was one of immense joy. This was the third time we cried together, and everytime we did I would feel much better afterwards. I'm a crybaby, as some may call me, but Daddy is supportive.
It has been 6 months since mommy died.
"You're not going to school tomorrow." He said "It's 5 am and you're not feeling well, so I will inform the teacher."

Spear of Aiste
It was a beautiful day outside. The sun was shining, fluffy white clouds adorning the sky. Birds were twittering, flowers were blooming, the trees’ leaves were rustling under a gentle breeze. Spear couldn’t see any beauty in it, though. He didn’t notice any of those things – except for the sun hurting his eyes. He fantasized about running away from the village and going as far as the end of the world; he didn’t believe for a moment that he’d be able to. He tried to think of somewhere else to hide, but nothing came to mind; he kept wandering aimlessly, hoping to delay the inevitable.

Convergence Series
Eulisses Malinor is a prodigious and somewhat reclusive wizard with an unconventional outlook on life itself. The latter may or may not be related to him shedding the burdens of mortality some time ago. He claims that every wizard that takes pride in themself needs to reside in a tower in the middle of nowhere. It definitely has nothing to do with the Addia fanatics that continue to seek him out. Successfuly, much to his discontent. Ever out to ‘cleanse’ him, or bloody murder him if you'd ask the lich himself. But soon, that will no longer be a problem, as Eulisses has finally gathered every reagent - magical or otherwise he needs. He will tear open and stabilize a miniature Rift, essentially creating his very-own pocket realm in which even Addia’s gaze will no longer be able to reach him. Everything has been carefully planned out in advance, so there is no possibility of failure. You can maybe then imagine his bafflement, when instead of the nothingness of his successfully created pocket realm, Eulisses finds himself in a quite holy looking hall, amidst quite too-baffled looking fellows, in the centre of a gigantic summoning circle - allegedly, he cannot read the runes that make it up - and facing a young and quite fair maiden that stares at him quite wide-eyed.
