《Ashes of the New World Book 1: The Divine World》Chapter 5: Creation and Betrayal
Advertisement
“Billions of years ago before humans came to be there were many Spirits and Gods. Such as Solis the High Goddess of the sun and day. Her husband Lunis the High God of the moon and night. Tempus the High Goddess of time, order, marriage, and is known as the Judge. Her husband Astro the high god of space, hospitality, philosophy, and known as the Knighter. A being that is unnamed goes by the title of Nameless who was a mere Spirit at the time. Medela the Goddess of healing and prosperity. Reamer the God of dreams and mercy. the Black Beast the God of nightmares and punishment. And Pestis the Goddess of sickness and desolation. Astro and Tempus have a daughter and a son named Vita and Tonitrua. She is the Goddess of life and fertility, and he is the God of weather and sky magic, but every happy family has some sort of dirty laundry. Gods are no different, Astro cheated on his wife with Medela putting a strain on his family. Tempus was furious and Vita was as well, but Vita blamed it all on Medela not even blaming her father for a second. She felt that Medela was just using her father for power and status, but no one really knows why Astro cheated. In Vita’s grief, Nameless came to her rescue, he asked her to help him with the creation of our world. Vita happily agreed, and she helped Nameless make the world. Then she and Nameless wed then had Flora and Fawn, the twins of nature. Flora looking over the plants and Fawn looking over the animals created by the Nameless and Vita. Vita created magical beings such as elves, fairies, dwarves, orcs, ecsadera. Finally, the Nameless created Man and the normal animals and plants. Everyone was pleased with this new world. Finally there were other beings that were alive like the Gods. In celebration, Nameless was titled as the God of Humans his job was to guide, protect, and help humans. He also became the God of Light Magic. As time passed new spirits came into being such as Fear and Amor. But Vita and the Nameless noticed that some of the things that they created were dying either peacefully or brutally, it scared them since they feared everything they built would be destroyed by these deaths. That’s when he was discovered, Azrail the God of Death and Dark magic. Vita hated Azrail and his Shade Riders for they were killing everything she and Nameless worked to create, she begged her mother to destroy him. But no one can kill a God unless you kill the thing they represent or destroy their soul, thus Tempus explained that Azrail was probably brought into the universe to bring balance to the universe. Unfortunately, that wasn’t a good enough reason for Vita, and so the rivalry between Vita and Azrail began. Azrail is the reason things die, he cursed living beings with life spans, and he created Heaven and Tartarus so souls have a place to go. He never cared for the rivalry, he was just trying to help the world, but Vita never cared to accept-”

“ That’s a lie. Goddess Vita only wanted what was best for her creations. Azrail is a being with no heart. He is slowly destroying our world just how he destroyed humans all those years ago!” Sean said, interrupting Seek.
“ But why..? Why would the God of Death kill all of the humans..?” Norah added with a very shy tone to her voice.
“ No one knows why he did it, Norah. Only he did and hasn’t paid for it for some reason,” responded Seek ashe continued on.
“ Anyway..two centuries ago or so in the year 2020 the humans went into a state of panic. With plaques spreading throughout countries like a wildfire, many were dying. During this time their governments became weak, and some bad humans took advantage of this and killed who they wanted when they wanted. Because no one could stop them. The Mortal Realm turned into an apocalyptic world then over the course of three years, all humans were killed...everyone blames Azrail for this. Since the majority of humans died the Nameless grew very weak, and he was stripped of his Godly powers and title for not fulfilling his duties. Now he remains on Earth living out his immortal days as a Spirit of Light Magic. That brings us to this day and age. Some parts of the story are still left untold.”
“ But what does all of this have to do with me.? I’m just a 13-year-old girl sure I have some powers..but that’s really it.”
“ Norah, you have an ability that can kill a God. Your flames can actually harm the Gods. In the Legend of the Freezing Fires, it’s said that a meteor fell from the sky one night. Fawn used the minerals from the meteor to create the first Phoenixes, one of them was named North. North and his phoenix siblings had the ability to control and create fire, but North wanted more power than just fire. He flew into space to search for more power, while there he found a star beginning to die. The star exploded when the phoenix got caught in the explosion causing some nebula, or star dust, to be absorbed by the phoenix. His red flames turned into the colored flames that are the Northern Lights, with his new power he began to pity the creatures that wandered in the dark cold nights in the Northern regions. The Phoenix flew around igniting its fires in the sky to light up cold nights for the creatures below, as a result the Northern Lights became a symbol of the impossible becoming possible. Astro was disgusted by this act and tried to get rid of the Northern Lights, but the Phoenix fought back against the God. Using it’s flames and the flames nearly killed Astro since it was thought to be impossible to kill a God. The Gods then made North promise to never use it’s powers to hurt or endanger another divine being ever again, but North still did his best to look after the world. So whenever North senses the world will be in danger he will bless someone with his powers to hopefully help the world. Now he has blessed you, Norah, with his powers to hopefully bring peace among the Gods permanently.” Seek said, as Sean and Taurus looked at Norah. Quiver’s skin was turning pale, her face became twisted with horror.

“ Are you saying you want Norah? A child. To kill a High God?! How dare you all! I won’t allow this! ” Quiver stood up and began walking away from them, dragging her sister by the wrist. Sean started to follow them but Taurus lightly nipped Sean’s wing to keep him from following.
“ What,” Sean said with irritation in his voice.
“ Leave the lassies alone birdie. The older one needs to calm down, they’ll come back.”
“ What if the child gets hurt and she dies?”
“ She won’t. We’ll follow once there’s some distance.”
Sean scoffed and glared at Taurus in disgust then laid back onto the soft grass that glowed beneath their bodies. Vita, I hope you are watching over them and protecting them from harm. So justice can be given to that heartless rat of a God.
Quiver and Norah marched through the magical woods ignoring all the beautiful plants that glowed, all the strange mythical beasts that roamed its lands, and arrived at a large cave that had a normal forest on the other side. Though it was dark out Quiver still marched out of the magical woods.

8 177Recovery of a Life
The prince of a kingdom was erased from the world. His very existence an enigma. Follow Xopil as he forces his life into a world that refuses to acknowledge his presence. I tried to write a novel without including all the standard things you find in certain genres, or if it is included, I hope it's at least a fresh take on it, this includes me breaking the fourth wall, probably too much. I'm wondering if that helped with humor at all, and also reconsidering if that should be a part of the story. I'm going to be rewriting every chapter at this point... and that chapter I'm extremely disappointed with could likely be deleted if not redone entirely. Now that this story is marked 'completed', I'll be going through each chapter and fleshing out the story a bit, as I found it severely lacking, and I've been saying to myself "I could have done more with that." way more often than I should be. And that speaks to my own dissatisfaction with my writing. I make no warranty-express or implied-as to the quality of these chapters, or the story as a whole. Cover art by Roman Valeyev
