Prologue – Counsel

--* Abyss, Creator Counsel *--

Pitch black. Everywhere you looked, there was only darkness to be seen. Inside of this seemingly endless abyss, a group of cloaked figures were gathered. Surrounded by the void, the eight of them were fervently shouting, caught up in an intense discussion. The group gathered around a green crystal ball, the image of a planet inside of it.

“We cannot allow these foolish beings to continue desiccating our creation! Who would have thought that the conscience we ourselves have created will be the downfall of all our other creations!” a wild scream echoed about, the voice carrying a massive pressure.

“Hah… though it pains me to wipe them out, we must punish them in some way,” one of the other cloaked individuals replied, black tendrils bellowing out of his body, assimilating with the abyss around them.

“Hmph…” a grunt escaped from one of them. As it filled the air, the crystal ball they surrounded slowly began to glow brighter, its previous earthly green color distorted and warped, replaced by crimson red, which permeated an aura of death. The planet inside of the crystal looked as if a drop of blood was dripped onto it as red clouds started to spread and surround the sphere.

“If they survive this, then I admire their willpower and intelligence, if not, it was their destiny. Seven waves of punishments and seven keys to save themselves. Will they live to continue their corruption, or die to pay for their grievances? Only time will tell…” an ancient voice emerged from the cloaked individual who had grunted.

“Begin… the purge!” eight voices shouted together, the sound vibrating space itself as the abyss began to crack, and soon collapsed, replaced by emptiness.
