《Gaia Quest: Switch'Loc's Ambition》


 Chaos in Childhood

    "Come on, Chaos, everyone''s heard that story a billion times." Ezra said, eyes rolling as Chaos took him to go hear the story of the gods for the fourth time that week.


    "But it''s so cool!" said Chaos, practically begging. "It''s the only thing to do around here anyway. Hollowgate is so boring." He continued.


    "Hollowgate isn''t boring to us normal people." Ezra said, slightly envious.


    "I''m normal, I just actually train, unlike you." Chaos goaded, smiling.


    "No, not everyone can wield a weapon as good as the Knights in a month." Ezra pointed


    out.


    "But I couldn''t, I trained before that. Come on, I''ll show you a few tricks if you come


    along with me." Chaos said, knowing just how to get his best friend to do what he wanted. "Alright, fine. The Overhead technique?" Ezra asked, perking up at the sound of a


    reward. Chaos nodded silently as he started walking to the Elder''s chamber. Chaos had an ulterior motive as well, though, as he knew he could coax the whole group to go with him. There was five of them, in total, and all of their houses on path to the chamber. First, they walked past Ethios, who came immediately. Then they saw Mileena, who was practicing spells. A short beg from Ethios and they continued on their path. Finally, Chaos detoured and went into the forge, to find Joran''s dad. "Hey, can Joran come with us to hear the story of the gods?" Chaos inquired. Joran''s dad, though the forgemaster of the town, was a very nice and friendly man. There weren''t many dwarves in Hollowgate, and most minded their own, but Joran and his father were very social, and Chaos spent good time with them very often. "Why, of course! Are you ready to wield a mighty sword from me yet?" Asked the warm-hearted Dwarf.

    "Is that so? Come over tonight, and we will talk about these plans. If it''s really huge, I''ll need all the time I can get!" The gentleman said.


    "Sounds like we have a deal." Said Chaos. At that moment, Joran came out, a baby wolf around his neck. This wolf was unlike most, however. Joran was a scroll master, and this was his bound pet. Scroll masters did not train in martial of Magical Combat. They instead trained in the art of Scroll Making, in which they draw from Magical Runes to summon creatures to do their


    bidding. Each one has one creature who would live and grow with their masters, who were named Bound Pets. Joran''s, Sepitha, was rather weak, however, as it wasn''t a humanoid creature, as most were. "Let''s go!" Said Chaos. They left in a flash, full speed ahead to the chamber. The group slowed as they approached, however, as the Elder''s Chambers were respected by all in Hollowgate. The Chambers were like their own city, a testament to the Six in every way. It was a Sages dream to become and Elder. They opened the door to the Hall Of Elders, and walked in silently. The Elders, surprised at the company, welcomed the young ones up to the meeting room, which was only used in times of desperation. Well, that, and the entertainment of Chaos and his friends. Chaos always felt in this room. It was the last place he had seen his parents before the War of Holy and Hexic. But, that was years ago, and on his mind now was the lore the Elders were readying to tell. "Tell the story of origination, please!" Chaos bowed and begged. They agreed happily, and Chaos got off the ground. They all were seated, and then the Six Elders began to tell them the tale.

 Interlude - The Story of The Gods, as told by the Elders to Chaos

    The world, in the beginning, consisted of only four biomes; one forest, one clearing, an ocean, and a deep underground cavern. This world was quite small, and only had six inhabitants: Arcan, Clere, Udi, Pyr, Necrot, and Demo. These six, were of the Hallowed race and lived in harmony with one another, becoming more powerful magic users of different specialties. When they mastered their respective magics, they combined the arts into one of beautiful creation, and expanded the land into a large and vast landscape, and filled it with beautiful creatures, created large skies and beautiful seas. All was good in the world. Upon completion, they named their creation Gaia. They created other life forms to enjoy their precious world that they crafted, intelligent creatures they named Immortali. They taught the Immortali the magics and how to speak and be in harmony with Gaia, but they did not listen. They built large buildings and polluted the gift they were given. Something had to be done, thought Arcan, Necrot, and Pyr. They met in secret, without any of the Immortali anywhere near. They had to be stopped! Pyr, Necrot, and Demo twisted their once beautiful arts into those of war, and proceed to hunt and exterminate the Immortali, as the others destroyed buildings and erased the pollution. In time, the trinity succeeded and the Six learned from these mistakes. This time, they each created only one race each, and each would counterbalance the others, and the world would function as one. But Necrot and Demo were twisted in thought. The battles of centuries waged war on their minds. Orcs came from Demo and Vampires from Necrot. Arcan made the Elves and blessed with the ability to love nature. Udi made the Dwarves and gave them knowledge of Orestones. Pyr, the humans, who were given his fiery desire and passion, but, as the spoils of war took their toll on Pyr, the humans became tainted with power hungriness. Arcan, Udi, and Clere, now outraged, created a secret alliance which the called the Holy alliance, which was formed to protect themselves from their hexic brethren. The wars which ensued took their tolls on the world, and the battles were bloody and gory. Finally, a truce was struck between the six, and they ascended into godhood, changing their names to those we know now.The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
