《Righteous Bestowal: Emperor of All》3.Astoria (Edited)
Advertisement
Astoria planet, a planet five times the size of earth conformed seventy percent of water, thirty percent earth, in where five percent at the top and bottom of the continents are made of icy lands, the coldest parts of the planet, the closest you are too both sides the colder will be, where many creatures of the cold element live, the planet has three continents named after the three sons of the goddess.
This planet was once governed by the goddess of creation Astoria, one of the most powerful gods to ever exist, a beautiful planet in comparison to others with hundreds of times more natural energy, this was the creation of her life, yet this only provoked the jealousy and greed of other gods of creation, because of how powerful she was, they attacked her when she was most vulnerable, injuring her and forcing her to retreat into her realm, these other gods took control of the planet, breaking havoc within it, forcing it races into submission, humans, beasts(Dragons and any mythical creatures), and demons (fairies, elves, actual demons and others), looking at these, the injured goddess, prepared a counterattack, she gave birth to three sons, that had relation with the three dominant races, their name as it follow:
IGIS THE GOD OF HUMANS
EZALL THE GOD OF BEASTS
VAILIFERA THE GOD OF DEMONS
These three gods with the power bestowed by their mother, only second to her, fought against the other gods, but even with all their power, they found hard to resist the might of many of them, so they ideated a plan, after talking their mother of it, she accepted their proposal. It was to give mortals the power to fight the gods, that was mana, using the newly acquired power, they reached toward they mortal races on the planet and gave them the ability to battle, with their help the greatest wars of all started, the war for the planet, Igis leaded the humans, Ezall the beasts, and Vailifera the demons, even with all their forces they were barely able to compete against the other gods forces coming from other dimensions, so in the end the goddess Astoria sacrificed herself in order to put a barrier around the world, no god born from another plane, could go in or out, with this the three sons and their armies clashed against the ones that could not escape, annihilating them, but they could not get rid of all their followers, after most of them were destroyed these went into hiding, waiting in silence, looking for a chance to make their comeback.

At the end of the war, the damage was so big the earth broke into three pieces, what is today known as the three continents, each of the goddess sons took place into one, with their respective races following them, after the follow of the Great War, the reconstruction process was slow, after all the damage sustained was too enormous, with the pass of the time some races started to mix giving birth to what today is known as the demon beasts and demi humans these caused wars, in the past discrimination was something seen, pureblooded races didn’t want to accept mixed races, they were too proud, they tough mixed races as dirty blood, but these dirty bloods showed great power, which soon started to be valued highly by other powerful factions, with the pass of the time mixed races started to be slowly accepted, not only that but most of these ascenders were none but these mixed races, in fact the first of the ascenders was none but a demon beast, when it happened the three gods didn’t show any hostility, which changed the opinion of the masses, today some of the most powerful kingdoms in the continent have mixed races retainers, after all the more power you show, the more you’ll be accepted, yet not all of them think like that some extremist factions still exist.
“Now any questions kids?”(Old male voice)
An old man voice could be heard in the middle of the night, by a big campfire, surrounding the campfire were many kids of different ages, you could even see quite few adults around.
This was village located in Stonewood valley, the old man, Domor of Stonewood, was an elf and the chief of this village. Stonewood was the name of the village and the valley, this valley had four mountains surrounding them and a forest inside it, the village was settled in a mountain halfway to the middle, around the mountain they were settled three mountains were located, two by its sides and one at its front, the location where they settled helped them, they were not too far from the forest where they hunt and train, and close to a small city right behind them outside the valley , where sold meat of beasts they hunt on the forest, bought supplies and worked as mercenaries, these was their choice of living, after all they exceled at mercenary jobs.

The village was composed of many different races, from elves to demi humans, there were 200 warriors, 50 elites, 50 mages, 20 healers and 400 non-combat personnel, this includes kids, housewife’s and some elders , between them and animals, the village has less than a thousand people.
“Here Chief!! Here!! ME!! ME!!” Many kids called.
“Ok, ok don’t fight” (Gramps)
“Tell me Sherie, What do you want to know?” The gramps said.
“Grampa Domor, What did you mean with ascended?” A little girl with white hair and green eyes asked, the little girl looked like six years old, had two cute little wolf ears on top of her head, if you paid attention to her back you would see a little tail moving around restlessly, this was Sherie of Stonewood granddaughter of Domor the village chief.
“Well child, in the past when the goddess Astoria gave us power, she also gave us the chance to surpass our limits, using the mana in the atmosphere, we could train our mana channels (mage) or our mana veins (warrior) in order to make use of this power, the more mana can flow through them, the biggest are the chances to form a core, after the core is formed, the person awakens in to a higher being, in case of humans they become High humans, after that you got to cleanse the core impurities, raising its power, usually the brighter it shines, the more power it has, at this point mage or warriors train their affinities in order to cleanse the core, after you reach white core formation, its says you must form a mana seed and plant it your core, after breaking into this realm you will evolve once more, I don’t know much about this realm, but is it said once you grow the seed you connect to the heavens, ascending where the three Primordials wait for you to join them in the battle.”
“Then, are they still fighting?” (Sherie)
“Hohoho, no one knows, my child.” (Gramps Domor)
“Hey Chief, then who was the first ascender?” (Random kid on the background no one cares about)
“Ohh, listen well, HE WAS KNOWN AS THE HEAVENLY DE…”
“Gramps look back!!” (Sheria)
Hearing her voice Domor noticed that all of the kids were not paying attention at all, in fact they were all looking behind him, turning to look, he was shocked, he saw in the sky, many golden lights falling down to the earth, like comets, rushing down at an incredible speed, there were quite a few of them, 8 in total 7 of them were gold colored and were burning because of the fall yet only one was different, it was not burning, yet it shined with a silver ethereal glow, pleasing to the eye, at difference to the rest this one crashed down into the furthest mountain from them, the one at their front known as Sunrise mountain.
The Chief shock only lasted a few seconds, before issuing an order, toward the rest of adults were looking at this spectacle dazed.
"QUICK! CALL TIBARN!!”
“We need to confirm, what that was.”
“Gramps is everything going to be okay? Will you send Dad away?” little Sherie asked scared by the situation, at difference from the rest of the kids, she was the village chief granddaughter; she had a small idea of what could this mean.
“It’s ok little Sherie, you dad is just going to check the situation, he is going to be fine, after all he is the strongest warrior in our village” Domor said patting her head with reassuring smile on his face, sending his own son to check sure has some dangers, but he must do it before others do, after all beast are not the only dangers that exist on the valley, many other villages are even more dangerous.

Virtuous Sons: A Greco Roman Xianxia
Book one now available on Kindle. The saying goes that when a man is born the Fates weave his destiny and swaddle him in it. Then one day the man dies, and the swaddle becomes a shroud. Heaven moves on. It is audacity to question the Fates. Olympus is Olympus. The land of men is the land of men. To transgress that, to cross the line of divinity and scale Olympus Mons?
