《Rise of the Three Gods》Rebirth
Advertisement
Once upon a time in a small village on the night of a solar eclipse, a pregnant woman, the wife of the village chief, was giving birth to not just one child, but three. She cherished the thought of triplets, yet misfortune came and only one child managed to survive the night.
This day of tragedy was understandably unforgettable to the child's parents, yet this did not stop them from giving their all to raise their only surviving child.
As the child grew older, he was a very mischievous child and seemed to be always looking for ways to pull pranks on others. Despite this, however, he grew up incredibly cheerful, bringing life and joy to the once dull and solemn village.
This, however, seemed to not be meant to last. One day Eric, the young boy, now four years old was hiding on top of a tree waiting for his father to pass below him so he could splash a pot of water mixed with egg yolk on top of him.
As his father passed by the tree without noticing him in the slightest, the child grinned and advanced a bit so as to throw the liquid in the little pot over his father's head. Sadly, however, his foot slipped and he ended up crashing to the ground, hitting his forehead and fainting upon impact.
Luckily, his head had the endurance of a well-trained monk, causing him to only bleed a tiny bit. But, as time would tell, this was not the only consequence.
When the child woke up, he saw his mother and father waiting by his side, his mother's face full of tears and his father filled with obvious anxiety.
Noticing his awakening, his parents attempted to talk to him, yet strangely the child, "Eric", did not talk, but instead only showed a confused look in his eyes. No matter how hard his parents tried, the young boy wouldn't utter a single sound.

Fearing the worst, his parents panicked and took him to the hospital. The doctor, however, seemed to be unaware of the problem, simply saying that he might have a concussion and that he should recover after a few days of rest.
After hearing the doctor's words, the parents finally relaxed and brought their son home. The next day, when the child woke up and seemed to be full of energy, his parents were overjoyed thinking he recovered and gladly let him go outside to play without paying much attention to such a change. After all, who wouldn't feel energized after a near-death experience?
That was, at least, until he came back covered in mud and ran to his room to hide as if knowing he did something wrong. What followed confirmed his wrongdoing, as two adults came knocking on the door while holding the hands of two young boys who were crying.
They came to complain about "Eric" beating up their children. The parents of the young boy, of course, pacified the parents of the crying children while confirming that they would scold their son so he would never repeat that again. But, they did not do so, at least, they didn't do too much about it.
The next day, Eric once again started pranking. His father got smeared with egg yolk, yet he just laughed it off. But, the days that came afterward were just like when he first woke up from the fall, mute and silent. He was without a single word. This, of course, frightened his parents.
The days after followed a similar pattern. The day after his silence he was filled with energy, while the day after that he was once again was filled with an urge to fight.
This eventually led to three kids getting beaten up by Eric, similar to the last time. This time, his parents were suspicious of his behavior and couldn't help themselves but to ask him why he would beat up the children.

"Eric, why did you beat up those children?" His Father asked.
"Who's Eric? I just felt like fighting with them." replied "Eric" with his head lowered as if he was embarrassed.
The child's parents finally freaked out, their son didn't even know his own name? They grabbed him and ran to the hospital again, and eventually learned that their child may very well have Multiple Personality Disorder, or MPD. They were given a prescription that was intended to suppress the other two personalities, though this failed and whenever Eric went to sleep, his other personalities would awaken.
The child's parents eventually got used to the way their son behaved and eventually, they came to love both of his other personalities. As time came to pass, they named the child's other personalities what they intended to name his two brothers. The personality that loved to fight got the name Cross, while the always silent one got Vincent or Vince.
As such, the three boys lived their life in that village, growing older as time went on. What nobody knew, however, was that when sleeping these three boys could actually communicate with each other in a sort of soul like state inside their mind.
Aware of the existence of the other two, they managed to create a sort of order between them, with Vince as the oldest brother, Cross the middle brother, and Eric the youngest brother. They grew up as one, causing their bond to grow closer with time.
As time went on they managed to get a job while having an otherwise lonely life as it was hard to find people willing to accept their situation.
Thus, they lived on as three different souls within a single vessel, constantly wondering why it was they were able to communicate.
When they found out their parents were supposed to have triplets, they even created a theory in which Vince and Cross were actually the two brothers that died, though they were met with harsh denial from their mother and never mentioned this again.
On the arrival of their 33rd birthday, another eclipse appeared.
The three kids, now adults, looked up at the sky, now sharing their vision, an improvement that happened over lots of training and time, such as when they first learned to control who got control of their body.
A blinding light shone upon them, a light so bright it felt like it was burning them. As time went by, this burning spread from their body to their soul.
BOOM!!!
A thunder-like sound could be heard as the three men lost consciousness.
On the Heavenly Continent, there was a village on a mountain, this village was surrounded by a forest and was part of a mountain range, causing the village to be surrounded by important natural resources.
In the village, something magical began to happen as a woman began to give birth.
Three cries erupted from where the woman was giving birth before a rough voice shouted out in the dead of the night,
"The madam has given birth to three boys! We shall have a feast tonight!" following this, the man screamed out in joy as those around him followed him to the feast.
Not a single person slept that night.

It has been often described as an unusual place by a good deal of people on the mainland. If they only would visit -why I am sure they'll soon have a change of heart, they may even come to find it a quaint sort of place, odd but in the same way a tattered old quilt can be both odd looking and warm, and especially soft.

The stage is set with a level of perfection that would have astonished me in my youth. They are coming. Derek will follow her.

She holds onto questions feverishly tight, that one. Lights them up inside like a new type of fuel without the slightest worry of being burned. She knows... There is but a certain few who can look at a map and find nothing where I stand but the Atlantic Ocean. And still, there is earth beneath me, a noisy pub down the road from me, and several people clucking conspiratorially on a balcony above me. She knows... that the Isle of Red doesn't belong here. Neither, technically, do I. (Hello!
