《Godhood》Chapter 9 - Morren's Journey
Advertisement
Morren rushed off away from The Great God Emyir as he needed to find a place to gain the last tiny bit of insight that he needed to break through. He felt that Lumas Prime would be the best place to gain the final insight needed as it was completely different from almost everything he had ever experienced.
Lumas Prime compared to Genesis would be described as harsh. Compared to Genesis it was harder to see because of the amount of light reflected of the white sand. It was also extremely cold compared to most of the places on Genesis, though the cold didn’t bother Morren anyway (sorry, I couldn’t help myself).
As Morren neared the southern pole he started to hear deep yet light sounds that reverberated all around him. He noticed off in the distance that a group of large creatures swam gracefully slow as they sang a song. Morren in his search for insight slowed his run and began to listen to the graceful song as he began to slowly hum with the oohs and and awws.
He continued to hum as he walked across ocean. He only woke him up from his dream when he stubbed his toe. “Fuck!” he yelled while in excruciating pain. The surroundings shook a little. ‘Wow!’ he thought, ‘I can yell louder that I ever thought I would be able to before I ascended to godhood.’ When he finished thinking to himself the ground began to shake again.THe ground shook and shook, but finally the quakes stopped. He looked over and noticed a giant 20 foot monster standing on a small hill in the distance. The strangely humanoid creature was staring right at him with its icy eyes. He didn’t know what it was, but before he could guess his mind focused on the creature as it was running full speed at him. ‘Shit’ he thought as he took a defensive stance preparing for the seemingly imminent attack. But the attack never came.

Finally after a little while Morren looked up. He noticed that the giant was much closer, only about 6 feet away, and it was obviously studying him. It did not even have its guard up in the slightest as though it wasn’t threatened by Morren at all. Though Morren was concealing his aura and divine power. Morren had no doubt that he could beat the giant, but it probably would not be easy. Suddenly the giant spoke in a unknown language that was for some reason, strangely familiar, but he couldn’t point out where he heard in before.
“Who, and what are you creature?” the giant asked in an unknown language that he could strangely understand.
“If I answer your questions, you have to answer mine. Deal?” Morren replied.
“Fine, stranger”
“Alright then, I am Morren Trock Llihelom of the Durrocs, the first Demigod. Now let me ask you a question. Who, and what are you? What is that language you are speaking? I’ve heard it and can understand it, but I can’t speak the language myself.”
The Snow GIant was shocked, a demigod was right before him,“Well, I am Burban Snoremorr the Snow Giant. I speak in the tongue of gods like all others of my kind. The tongue of gods is spoken by our patron deity Emyir and it speaks to the soul, so everything can understand it.”
It finally made sense to Morren why he could understand it, and why it felt familiar. Though Morren had only met Emyir twice, each meeting was ingrained in his mind. Coming back to reality, Morren noticed that the situation was really awkward. They just stared at each other for a while. Morren finally could not longer stand the silence and asked a question, “What is a Snon Giant? I’ve never heard of them, and I’ve been around a while.”

“Well, a Snow GIant is a half divine beast, which means we are inherently stronger that all other species, but it is harder to become demigods. We are long lived and are dedicated to our extraction and crafting with the poles specialized materials…” Burban went on to tell Morren almost everything about the Snow Giants and even preach about the Snow Giant beliefs about Emyir.
After a while Morren said farewell to his new acquaintance and went to the connection point and traveled to Lumas Prime. He found the top of a uninhabited mountain that is part of a mountain range that is somehow inhabited by not only Berrains but also 3 Snow Giants that got past the Giant Worms that surround the poles.
He spent his time on the mountain in meditation. To gain enlightenment one must understand a part of how the universe works. Though this was very vague, he knew almost instinctively how to do it. He had to watch interactions. He watched the interactions between the Berrain clans and the 3 Snow Giants. He watched the interactions that the physical world had on it’s self. HE also used his energy sense to sense how the energy that made up the physical world interacted with energy that was in different planes which he could only vaguely sense.
In his deep meditation he discovered a sub dimension thats access point was at the top of the tallest mountain in the mountain range which just so happened to be uninhabited. He quickly traveled to the sub dimension and entered.
As soon as he entered he was bombarded with different unrestrained energy, he managed to recognize divine power and faith was in there somewhere, in doing so he got a close up look on how the energy interacted, and that's when it hit him.

Celestial Spark
Mages traditionally make poor fodder, but with proper training and motivation, possess near limitless potential. For mage teams, the battle camps of the Upper Realms provide both, with missions ranging from orc hunts to political espionage. This tale follows one such team of four who strive to prove themselves in a world that would rather overlook them. Loyalty, honour, and devotion are contrasted by avarice, treachery, and apathy, though at times it can be difficult to separate vice from virtue. For though all people, whether they hail from the peripheries or the kingdom capital, are subjects whose fates are bound to the stars, their choices must be their own. Any comments or questions are welcomed.

The Discarded
The Umbrae Lunae existed before man, beautiful abominations birthed in the nightmares of mad gods. They wait for humanity to misstep, for the angels to look away. For the moment when they can cloak the world in moon shadows once again. But even horrors have children. Even nightmares must feed. One child, unlike the others, finds his way to a school for young abominations. Will he be a sheep cast before the wolves, or a terror that wears the skin of wool to entice the wolf close? The flesh of his body was his only coin, strips cut to pay debts that never ended. Everyone has scars, stories in a life led, lessons learned, and licks taken. Luminous bodies touched by darkness. There are a cursed few that are the opposite, black shadows consumed by scars, twisted minds devoured by diseased hungers, bodies tortured misshapen works of gouged flesh, silver lines of blade thin cuts, ragged tears of teeth and glass. For them, the scars are marks of homecoming, the mangled wasteland the only place they feel at peace. Hell is a place. It's made of concrete, steel and glass. It's the sounds of starving kids crying themselves to sleep, huddling into small balls as creepers come and take their due of innocence and tender meat. It's eating rotten food and carrying ticks in your hair. It’s having no one and nothing while surrounded by everything. It's the life of a street kid. What abomination was birthed in the corrupt womb of man’s cast-off shit? Pretty people don't know the power of ugly. They can't see the strength in a broken soul or the power in a calloused heart. Those secrets are for the discarded alone. Only the broken understand the grace of darkness. The blessed folds that hide scars and tears, the protection of its concealing umbra.
