《Judging The Creation》 Prologue Part 1: The Emotions of a God In essence nothing existed, only void. Everything was void. No light nor shadow existed, the time still didn''t exists nor did the concept of space. The life and death came to existence only far in the future. No one was in existence at the time, no consciousness nor a self existed. But like how a stone after eons would create a consciousness, to the void happened the same thing. But unlike a stone, this consciousness included everything that existed at the time, the void. The consciousness came to existence with the name of God. God, void of emotions and character did only a thing, he existed for the sake of existing. But even a blank existence like that of God came to know the basic of emotions. Boredom. Initially it was subtle and incomprehensible for the newborn consciousness. Never did he sense something like this. He didn''t know how to destroy this irritating sensation. He tried several methods but none of those resolved the problem. They would alleviate the emotion but then it would return like how it was in the past. This continued until one day when he discovered something that stopped that emotion completely and gave him a very nice sensation. It was, sense of accomplishment and happiness. The method he found was creation. He thought, if this can help him alleviate the boredom and give him that strange nice sensation then the only thing he can do is continuing his creation. Another thing that made him continuing was a strange sensation that wanted him to know what were those sensations. It was curiosity. His creations weren''t on the plane of existence known as space but on the level of mind. They were ideas. His ideas toke away all of his boredom but left him with worse sensation. It was the worst thing that he ever felt. It was loneliness. He tried creating ideas to alleviate it but it didn''t work, everything he did didn''t help him instead with the passing of the time the bad sensation became even worse. He tried everything but none of this worked. Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. Unknown to him another emotion came to existence for the first time. Confusion. What saved him from his loneliness was the discovery of a sense of self. God became aware of his ''Self'' and thought "What if I create someone other like me?" He tried to create someone like him and made an existence known as O''ul or The First. O''ul was an existence similar to God, with a sense of self and the original emotions of God. The sense of loneliness disappeared as God made someone like him. An existence with similar but different from God. O''ul entire being was for the purpose of serving God. Although God wanted a companion what he found was an existence with strong emotions unknown to God. Gratitude and Sense of Duty. Gratitude for his birth, and sense of duty toward someone stronger and bigger than him. The loneliness reduced but there was something missing in God. It was the longing for someone like him who won''t differ beetween creator and creation. Someone who is different from him but at the same level of existence. God came to a drastic decision. He divided himself in three parts. The first one was a God named Abiath. The second was a Goddess named Kahla. The third part became Space and Time. The residual of the division became Materia, the essence of planets and all the physical materials. With Materia came Light, Dark, Water, Fire, Nature, Chaos, Wind, Lightning and Life. Abiath was the impersonation of Light, Water, Nature, Wind, Gentleness, Generousness and Love. Kahla was the impersonation of Dark, Fire, Chaos, Lighting, Jealousy, Curiosity and Possessive Love. Abiath and Kahli were the first impersonation of love, not only was their love romantic, it was also the love of a family. She loved him and he loved her. In their search for a way to satiate her curiosity and his thirst for knowledge they created a world and made its laws. This was the beginning of time. Prologue Part 2: Curse, Help and Hope The first world was called Alam. In it were the elements that came from the division of God. Light, Dark, Water, Fire, Nature, Chaos, Wind, Lightning and Life. Light and dark became the cycle of day and night and with the days the subdivision of time came to existence. Water and Fire created heat and cold and with it the existence the cycle of the seasons. Water became the seas. The fire undermined in the heart of the planet and heated it. Fire heated the water thus came rain. Water cooled the heating earth thus it became a still land. The Wind agitated the seas and the lighting agitated the land. Nature fused with life and created the plants and animals. Chaos deformed the lifeforms thus creating diversity. But something was missing in their Heaven. Kahla and Abiath consulted with O''ul and came to the conclusion that the missing thing was a conscious specie. Abiath took the earth and the Water and mixed them thus creating primordial clay. Abiath shaped the clay in 360 shapes similar to him and 360 shapes similar to Kahla. He let the shapes to the Wind for 7 days. Kahla took Fire and Lighting and used them to dry the clay. Abiath imbued Nature in the shapes. Kahla and Abiath the took Dark and Light and made 720 hearts with it. Kahla imbued the hearts in the chests of the shapes. In the end Abiath took life in his mouth and blew it toward them. The shapes took life thus becoming the first conscious species after O''ul The First. Their species was called Ran''sha or The Beloved. Then Abiath and Kahla called O''ul and made him king over the Ran''sha. The Ran''shas developed in Alam and from the first 720 they became billions. Kahla and Abiath watched over them with interest. This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. Kahla sometimes descended on Alam to satisfy her thirst for curiosity. Abiath studied their technologies and their use of magic thus he satiated his thirst for knowledge. The Ran''shas created what the God didn''t give them and studied the phenomena of their world thus discovering things that even God didn''t know. But that peace couldn''t last as a new emotion unknown to the gods and the Ran''shas came to existence. Greed. For the Ran''shas, the king was the Supreme existence as they didn''t know of the existence of the gods but as supreme as he was, he was only a man and couldn''t control the billions of Ran''shas and their ideas and emotions. Greed insured as they tried to overthrow the king. But who would have thought that this would come with the anger of the gods? The gods were indignant, especially Khali. She was angered to the point of banishing the Ran''shas from Alam and cursing them with the greatest curse of all. Death. The previously immortal Ran''shas became feeble and weak. They got banished from their homes in new inhabited worlds where the survival was for the fittest. O''ul was saddened by the punishment to his people and asked Abiath to help relieve their suffering. Abiath although was angered by their betrayal he still felt very sad for them so he decided to give them help. Safe lands. Those lands were lands where no danger could lurk nor could harm come. He also gave them hope. Ascension. Those who where good in their hearts and worked for their brothers and sisters could regain their immortality and live in the Paradise of Abiath and Kahla, Alam. Chapter 1: Marigold of the Sunstone Village Marigold POV My name is Marigold, I was born in the northern Sunstone village. Child of a warrior and mage I grew training and battling. Although not the best of the talents, My talent was still important for the future of the village so I had my good share of Beasts core and techniques. The stronger I was, the stronger was the village, this notion was drilled in my head since I was little from my hardworking parents. At the age of 12 I became rank three Mage making my parents proud. A year later I meet my fiance, the future village head, Roy. He was handsome and gentle, every time I looked at him I would question myself if it was real or it wasn''t a dream. He smiled at me and my heart fluttered. He said that I was his and he was mine. I thought that my life was perfect but sometimes he would try to do things of sexual character and I would always say that it''s better to think about it after the marriage ceremony, he would smile and say it was okay. Today he asked me to come with him to the forest out from the safe land of the village. I believed him and went with him but reality was more cruel that I thought. GAAARGH BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM The heaven shook and the earth split as the night black colossus made its way toward us. In my fear I looked toward Roy, he looked at me with a cold glint in his eyes. His hands were on me, he pushed. I fell twisting my leg. He ran away as I tried to stand up. "Roy! Roy! Please help me! Help! " I called him but the sound of my voice was drowned from the sound of the monster steps. Roy looked back at me and smiled, it wasn''t his usual smile, it was a ridiculing smile as he escaped from the danger. "You know, I never loved you." His voice was low but it still reached me. Roy disappeared from my view as I looked back at the colossus. My heart was beating faster and faster as I saw his indifferent red eyes lock with mine. They were cold and merciless, they reminded me of those of Roy from before. But why did he look at me like that before dumping me here, in this land forsaken by God and men? Why did he betray me? Didn''t he promise to stay by my side forever? Didn''t he say that I was his and he was mine? Why was he so heartless? Did I do something bad? Was I a bad girl? Please God, let it be a joke, let him come from behind the bushes saving me from this monster. This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience. But as I was still hoping, the monster was before me. Its bloody red mouth opened as he roared in front of me, the pressure from his breath sent me flying twenty feets away. Its body was thirty meter long and fifteen meter high, it was large and ripping with muscles. Its claws were curved and a meter long, five per paw. It had thirty sword-like fangs. I knew it, it was a rank seven Black Death Cheetah. Its power was a little more than a Third Layer Moon Warrior or a rank seven Mage. Although I was called talented, I''m still far from the elite of Sunstone Village. My efforts in training gained me the place of a rank four Mage at the age of seventeen. The monster looked at my eyes and suddenly opened its mouth again, this time trying to swallow me. I closed my eyes. My heart boiled from the emotions, but not with fear instead it was boiling with anger and hate. When despair hit me and death was only a meter from me, I let myself fall to hate. Hate toward Roy, hate toward myself and more importantly, hate toward the world. The time passed slowly as I waited my death but that death didn''t come. As I slowly and painfully opened my eyes what I found was a strange sight. A beautiful... No, a handsome man was in front of me. It was more than handsome, if I had to describe it, it would be.... Godly, yeah right, godly. His blonde hair scattered to the foul wind, his gentle green eyes locked with mine as I forgot to breath, he smiled at me and my face flushed red. He offered his big manly hand to me, I took it and couldn''t registry anything more. As realization hit me, I looked toward the monster and I saw the most beautiful scene of my life. A goddess with raven hairs and phoenix eyes gently illuminated by the light of the moon. Her face was the epitome of beauty and her body was the epitome of sexiness. She gently smiled as she patted the head of the cheetah. It was surreal and beautiful at the same time. My breath previously stopped because I didn''t want to interrupt the scene returned as I muttered weakly. "Who are you? " Chapter 2: Abiath and Kahla Not pr, need sleep, maybe tomorrow, if have time, thanks reading, bye, love, Nero Kahla POV As I look at my paradise that is void of intelligent life my heart is pained. The pain comes from the betrayal of what are my creation, but sometimes I think that probably the fault is mine. Abiath''s light element is pure and have a healing and soothing effect, it was used in the creation to give energy to the creatures and plants. Life and light are companions and the Ran''shas thought that light was the foundation of good. Instead my dark element is made to balance the light, it kills, curses and destroys. Chaos and dark are sisters. My dark element won''t ever give life, instead, I, with my dark element, created the forsaken element of Death. Death in origin didn''t exist, the creatures lived eternally. They didn''t need to eat, drink or protect themselves from diseases as they didnt exist. My fault, the dark element fault lies in their hearts. I and Abiath mixed my dark element and his light element to make them. For the first eons the light took the upper hand and created the greatest civilization that ever existed but my dark element corrupted their hearts and with the times it took control on them by establishing in them the seed of greed. I clearly know that for every element, emotion and force there will be a balancer like water and Fire, Chaos and nature, hate and love, greed and generosity, and the most important of all of them, Kahla and Abiath. But my heart is colliding with my reason and guilty is taking over me. What if it wasn''t their fault in essence? As my heart swayed beetween hate and guilty I made my mind. I will ask Abiath, he will surely have a solution for my problem. He is always there smiling gently at me and helping me with my problems. We were probably made to hate each other but I can''t think of a life without him and I think he thinks the same thing. I walked in the beautifully green forest toward the center. I could directly teleport myself directly there but by walking I could settle my heart and mind. The way of nature was something that I always envied, it''s not like I hated my way of chaos but the peaceful and soothing greenery had a calming effect on me. I loved that feeling. I reached an opening and in the middle of it, on a rock seated in a thinking pose, with his elbow on his knee and the head posed on his hand was a man. It was the most perfect man. It was my man. He looked at me and smiled gently as my heart fluttered and my face grew hot. "What is it, Kahla? " Abiath POV I was contemplating the existence of an unknown element when my lovely lady, Kahla entered my vision. I saw her troubled although lovely face and smiled. The smiles beetween me and Kahla were the most trhuful and heartfelt smiles in this universe, unlike the Ran''shas and their successors, we didn''t have any ulterior motives beetween us. I simply smiled because I loved her and she smiled because she loved me. I knew her for so much time that I could read her like an open book. And that expression meant indecision and a tinge of guilt. A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. "What is it, Kahla?" I decided to ask directly, honesty is my tactic with Kahla. Although not simple simple-minded, Kahla is pretty weak toward sincerity. If she is angry, I say "But I love you, Kahla!" and she will forget her anger. If she is happy, I say "I''m happy for you." And she will smile. If she is troubled I ask about the problem and she will say her troubles. Her face reddened with a lovely tinge as she fidgeted nervously. Ah, I love those expression that she makes only in front of me. That childish nervousness and her fidgeting made my heart beat faster. Although I loved those expression I never said it to her and kept it to myself, if I said it she will probably be more aware and won''t make them anymore. Although we loved eachother we weren''t that far in our relationship, if I had to say it in Ran''shas or, their successor, humans terms then we would probably be in the holding hands stage. Our love was more on the platonic side. I shooed away those thoughts and looked toward my lady again. She looked at me before opening her mouth and explaining here thoughts and problems. "Abiath can you help me?" So her problem lies in the decision she took eons ago. The banishment of the Ran''shas. She thinks that her dark element was the cause but I know that it isn''t true and I tried saying it to her but she didn''t want to listen. Although I represent the light and generosity, I still loathe the Ran''shas, in contrast Kahla is easily angered but once she settles down her senses start screaming "It''s all my fault, the guilt lies with me". I can''t make myself to forgive them as they were given everything but still betrayed Kahla, me and O''ul. I can''t make myself to destroy them of even banish them but I still loathe them. My heart gave them hope and help but my reason stopped me from doing anything else. I look at Kahla and think about how to make her stop thinking about this. It pains me seeing her pained by the betrayal and guilt. Then it hit me. "Kahla, lets descend to the mortal world and judge if they are worthy of forgiveness. If they are, we would make them return to Alam like in the past. But if they aren''t then we will never influence them again." I know that I''m dodging the problem of the corrupted heart but this should settle it for the moment. Kahla beamed a gorgeous smile. "Alright, let''s go! " She took my hand and before I even registered what she said, I found myself in beetween a cheetah and a girl. Kahla always loved animals and beasts so as she saw the cheetah she started petting it like an overgrown cat. I looked back at the girl and saw that she was almost swallowed by the cheetah, her eyes were closed as if she wanted to escape reality. I smiled at the silliness of mortals, they always find a way to amuse me. She opened her eyes and stared at me. Seeing that her feet was twisted, I gave her my hand. She took my hand and got up. After looking for sometime in daze toward Kahla she muttered. "Who are you? " Chapter 3: Missed Armageddon Kahla POV If there is something I love then that thing is Abiath, but if there is something I love after him then that thing are animals. They were created thanks to Abiath nature''s element and evolved thanks my chaos element, they are something akin to our children. Be it a massive elephant or tiny cat, I love them all. The world I choose for us to discover was a world called Athani, the world is pseudo governed by some so called Gods. They certainly and surely weren''t gods like me and Abiath, they were simply mortals that attained a greater degree of power and a partial immortality or were created, born by another greater force. In my eyes they were simple mortals but Abiath always says about how all life should be equal and how I should try to treat them like how I do with the beasts and animals. But I simply can''t. As we appear I found myself in front of one of my favorite animals. A cat. I simply loved cats and cute animals in general, the urgency to pet them hit me like a thunder as I moved my hand and smiled gently to the overgrown cat. My smile served to soothe him. He lowered his head as I petted him. Then it hit me. We weren''t alone. I just did something extremely embarrassing in front of Abiath and a stranger. I should be "The dark Goddess, creator of Death and master of chaos." but then here I was, petting a cheetah and smiling. I''m sure my image shattered in front of the stranger even before actually speaking. Normally I showed my true self only in front of Abiath but now even someone else saw it. I had to eliminate that wrong image from her memory! I looked at the girl only to see her blush while looking at Abiath. Abiath smiled at her while holding her hand. "You, why are you touching Abiath? " My jealousy flared, she shouldn''t have touched what was mine. Coldness flashed in my eyes, those puny mortals shouldn''t think of getting what they don''t deserve! I probably should let them here and don''t give them a possibility. She flinched and fear was in her eyes. Even I didn''t get to hold his hand that much before it gets awkward or I get too happy and escape from reality. That bitch. "Abiath, I changed my mind. Let''s return. " My voice was cold, my gaze froze the living. Abiath looked to me and chuckled, ah, I think he knew what I was thinking. He let her hand and walked toward me. He put his hand on my head and patted it. I''m elated. Abiath POV The Girl looked at me and fidgeted, I smile gently at her, she reminded me of a little animal with her short brown hair and big Brown eyes. She was just a child in front of a giant cheetah, I think she was scared. I sensed a cold aura behind me, I looked back and saw an angry Kahla. She is pouting. Is this what I think is? Is she perhaps jealous? How cute, I think she is jealous. I think Kahla just awakened a sadist nature in me, I will tease her later but for now let me soothe her before she blows half of this world along his inhabitants. Her pouting face was really cute but I think also her elated is cute. The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings. I walked toward her and patted her on her head. She melted. I turned to the girl and said to her. "We are warriors of the Alam tribe. We came to seek relationships with other tribes, to ensure survival alliance is a must. Could you please tell us where your tribe is? We will accompany you. " The that mortals were driven to a fight to the survival in this world so they were pretty open to warriors even if they from other tribes or cities, the stronger the warrior the stronger their trust and respect. So when I said we were warriors from another tribe it was already calculated in my mind how much strong we needed to be to gain their trust. To wander in the wilderness you had to be strong. She looked at us with sparkling eyes. "T-thank you... Follow me." Marigold POV The man smiled at and my heart melted but then I woke up from my daze as I sensed a murderous gaze from behind him. I trembled. That woman was so scary that I forgot to breath but as the man patted her head she returned to be the beautiful woman that I saw before. Looking at them together was a beautiful picture it gave the feeling of holiness. I was thinking that a love like that, because it certainly was love, was something that everyone would want. "We are warriors of the Alam tribe. We came to seek relationships with other tribes, to ensure survival alliance is a must. Could you please tell us where your tribe is? We will accompany you. " Alam tribe? I didn''t knew of a tribe called like that... They were probably far away from their tribe. Just how much did they wander in the wilderness? I knew that the strongest warriors in my tribe never wandered too much in the wilderness so they must at least be stronger than our elites. A beautiful and strong couple, how dreamy! Ah I have to thank them for accompanying me. " T-thank you... Follow me." I bit my tongue. How embarrassing. I started walking ahead to hide my embarrassed face. After I regained my composure I decided to start a conversation. "My name is Marigold from the Sunstone village. Can I know your names? i-if I can... " I stuttered again... How embarrassing. The handsome man looks at me and chuckles. Oh, even his chuckle was Divine. "I am Abiath and this is my lady Kahla. We are warriors from the Alam tribe." The woman, Kahlablushed when he said My lady. We spoke as we walked toward my village, I told them about what happened to me and they sympathized with me although Kahla continued saying ominous things like "Maybe it''s better if we destroy the Ran''shas?" with a scary expression while Abiath patted her head and convinced her otherwise. At that time I didn''t know that humanity just escaped an Armageddon. The only memory of that time was the cold sweat that covered my back.
