《Beginning Of Reality》Chapter I: The Banishment
Advertisement
As He was forced down onto his knees before the Eldritch Council, Carnatus had only thoughts of anger and resentment on his mind. He also felt a great deal of pity, for he knew they would not kill him. Not after everything He had made for them, and done for them. He looked up into the desolate eyes of the Eldritch Council and saw only black staring back. He knew they were corrupt which is why He did what He did. He started a rebellion to return his peoples back to what they had been millions of years beforehand.
The High Eldritch, the leader of the council, said to Carnatus, "For your crimes against your peoples we banish you from this plane. We will take your precious Nemesis Machine and you will be thrown out into a different Universe never to return here. What do you have to say for yourself?" Carnatus said, "You use the machine you refused to before just to get rid of me? You should just kill me it would be faster and would cause less harm for you in the future." The High Eldritch replied, "We will simply destroy this machine once you are cast out, you will never be able to return through it. Your rebellion is being crushed swiftly, and to think you used to be one of our most prized warriors. You are a disgrace to your peoples, and now you suffer a price worse than death.
A group of guards drug Carnatus out of the Council chamber and out to where the Nemesis Machine waited. One of the guards said to Carnatus, "Turn it on traitor." He did as commanded and turned on the machine. It spun to life, a large machine that was crude but indeed did what it was designed to. A portal opened, a sight that none but Carnatus would ever see again. It glowed an immensely incandescent light which was not possible in their Universe or so they thought.
The guards threw Carnatus into the portal that opened and He fell for many years until He landed upon a pitch black field that went on as far as He could see. He decided this is where he would take up residence. He erected a large tower, this tower was a pristine white which shone like a billion stars against the massive black landscape which surrounded Him. Once the tower was created He entered it and made his way to the main chamber in which he crafted a throne.
If He would be banished to this Universe He would be its ruler. It was then when He came up with a plan, a plan for revenge. He gathered His power and concentrated hard, creating Five beings of power, each holding a piece of his own power. He created firstly, the Aspect of Negativity Hebrechion, and secondly the Aspect of Positivity Archurion. These two together would create and maintain equal halves of the power of this Universe, and they would be in charge of keeping it in balance at all times.
He then created Dervion the Aspect of Destiny, Tiernion the Aspect of Time, and Farchrion the Aspect of Fate. These three beings would be in charge of population the universe, a set number, and exact number. This would ensure that Hebrechion and Archurion could do their jobs. Once these Five were created He sent them out, these young gods were sent out to create this Universe. They would create beings that would be tested, that would be used to gain his revenge.
After many attempts the lesser beings of this Universe would fail time and time again and Carnatus, now calling himself Reality would learn of one planet in particular that interested him. This planet laid in the exact center of this plane of existence. This would be the planet He would use to create a race that would be strong enough to control his power, to conquer everything.

He created the Human species and left clues for them to follow, as well as telling the Five that their main focus would be this planet over all the others. After the first cycle of this planet's life it bore a worthy candidate. This first was a warrior named Wrecker. With the help of Wrecker Reality destroyed the planet and reseeded the life on it, a job completed by Wrecker himself with the power that had been given by Reality.
This new world was very uneventful and was eventuall the birthplace of one created by Dervion, Tiernion, and Farchrion, now known as Destiny, Time, and Fate. The one they created would do what Wrecker had done, but on a Universal scale. This would assist them greatly but be a huge advantage for Realities plan. In response to this reality placed within the Universe a power to take the very essence of another, their power and soul, and increase your power. He did this in hopes that one would learn this power and consume the Universe then meet him, which is when he would divulge the nature of this Universe and his plan, and gain a second to help him return home.
He was displeased when in fact his power was stolen by the one the Three created, Veruchion, The Reaper of That Which Was Sown. He destroyed the Fourth or so he thought when his essence still lingered for millenia. The planet spat out two champions instead of one, which threw him off. This was to compensate for the destruction of the Fourth. These two champions were Revian and Krium. Each Identical in power, and both willing to comply with Realities plan.
In the third cycle of the planet it bore a massively unexpected outcome, a being that rivale Reality in power because of one simple thing. The power to leech from another. This being was Atlas, this human was chosen by the Three to replace the Fourth and balance the Universe. This being would go on to absorb nearly all life in the Universe including the Five. He would be the only one to ever meet face to face with Reality aside from the Five when they were first created.
This being wanted nothing more than to be slave to none, and to be his own master. Reality saw in him what He had been, strong and independent. Reality tested this Human, and the Human passed his test but asked for something in return for helping Reality. Reality was thrown off by this as none of the others had asked for something, which is what made Atlas that much more different, smarter in a way. Reality granted this wish to Atlas. It was simply reverting the Universe back to much earlier when the life Atlas had before had ended and He left Earth for the first time and became a pawn of the Five.
Once all of them were gathered they each played a heavy role in the creation of another Nemesis Machine. They spent many millenia making this machine, the reason it took so long was simply that it was nearly ten times the size the first had been. It took much more power than Reality had thought it would to return to his Universe than it had to be banished from it. He found out by this that it was like climbing up and down a ladder, going up took more energy, than moving down.
He waited for them in his throne room, waited until one fateful day he saw the four warriors approaching him. He thought that today would finally be the day in which his revenge would come, and it could not have come at a better time, or a worse time for that matter. The four of them walked towards Reality down the massive corridor like room that served as his throne room, all but one looking around in awe.

They stopped several feet in front of the figure and the figure said, "Welcome warriors, you have finally reached the final step in your journey." Revian asked, "Who are you?" The figure said, "I am one whom you have known all of your lives, but you never knew it. I have created everything you see and feel, I am in a sense your God but I am indeed very much more than that. My name cannot be uttered by your primitive minds so you may call me..." Atlas cut him off, "Reality." Reality looked at Atlas and asked, "How do you know that Atlas?"
Atlas said, "I have been here once before do you not remember me?" Reality said, "No one has been here since the Five were concieved, no one." The four warriors looked around at each other, Atlas the only one in confusion. Reality continued, "...But yes you can call me Reality for I am everything and I am absolute here. You have but one task left and it will not be an easy one. I come from a plane very far away, but not so far when looked upon on a greater scale. I was banished from that plane, and I will have my revenge. I was exiled into an unknown space where I created a plan, a plan for my return."
Krium asked, "Why were you banished?" Reality said, "I was different from the rest, I was smarter. I knew the path it was being led and fought against it, as did many of my brethren. That place was filled with war and the ones in control sought to punish me, and they did. I have created this plane for the four of you. I set in place a way for this realm to concieve powerful beings, ones that matched mine. I did this so that we may return, and we may set things right. Once that is done you all shall be free to do what you please."
The four looked at each other with no words to say at first until Wrecker said, "So we are to help you fight a war?" Reality looked at him and said, "No. I want you to help me end one. You are all products of terrible war, the strongest out of any other living thing. You mirror me in every way, and now it is finally time to do what should have been done long ago." Reality took a few steps forward and turned around, he held out his hand and his throne rose off of the ground and towards the ceiling which revealed a massive strucure meant for a type of machine.
Reality said, "Ther is a machine that will allow us to return to my realm, it will also completely free you and allow your power to surpass even what it is now. Our fight will be long and will not be easy so we must go now. I however will give you the choice. If you are not ready to fight in the greatest war to ever exist, or to stay here and tend to a dying universe." The four talked it out amongst themselves but they soon settled on the same outcome. Revian said, "We have nothing to go back to, so we will fight with you Reality."
Over many millenia the five worked together to build this machine. This machine was very complex and dangerous to behold, once they had completed it they stepped back to look upon the massive machine they had built together. Reality said, "This is the Nemesis Machine reborn my warriors. One very similar brought me here, and now this one will take us all back. We only need to power this montrosity now." Atlas said, "About damn time we finish this thing, started to think we were never going to actually get it done."
Reality smiled and said, "Good. Now prepare yourselves, this will get very intense." Reality powerd on the machine and said as it came to life, "You will each need to pour your energy into it, and I mean all of your power. The amount we need is nigh impossible even in my realm to reach but with us all we can do it." Atlas asked, "What if it does not work?" Reality said, "We will continue to pelt it with our power until we erase the realm itself, and soon thereafter ourselves." Krium said, "So let us not fail then." Reality said, "Indeed, let us not. Now, let us begin."
The colossal machine sputtered to life and Reality started to pelt it with his energy. Soon the four warriors poured together their strength with Reality's and they shot a single massive barage of energy into the machine. The machine kicked itself into overdrive and began to whir and whir faster and faster. Soon the machine was at its limit until Reality stopped, the other four following suit. The machine began stoic and Reality said, "It is done, we may now travel to the other side."
The portal that had opened glowed an iridescence that the four had never seen before, but Reality had seen only one other time. Revian turned to reality and asked, "How can we stand against the powers that banished you if we are only part of the realm that you created? Would they not simply banish us as well?" Reality said, "No. The banishment process is very long, and has rules. We will have eons to fight them, and to eventually win. We will not fail as you four have proved yourself to me, and for that I thank you. Each of you are stronger than you know, and each of you shall join my side when we finally end the tyranny of those who banished me."
Reality was looking forward towards a massive tower when thousands of soldiers appeared before them. Reality said to the three warriors, "This is the beginning warriors, prove yourselves to them, so that we may destroy them..." Reality turned towards the army and yelled, "...I have returned, you had banished me but I have broken your chains of imprisonment and I have come for your heads!" The army began to lurch towards them and the four took their places and soon charged towards the army. The two forces collided and they started a war, a war for revenge.
