《The Balance》 Prolouge [Location - Divine Realm - Crystal Palace] Within the Throne room of the Crystal Palace two humaniod figures coud be seen talking to each other. The first figure was a woman, golden blond hair which frammed her delicate face perfectly, flowed gently down her back, sky blue eyes with faint stars shinning within them, and small cherry red lips with flawless pale white skin and pure white Angelic wings coming out her back. The second figure was an older man with short black hair, deep red eyes, pale white lips with matching skin, like the female he also had wings on his back but his were a deep black and looked more like crow wings. "We need to stop the war, Lucifer" said the woman "I don''t see why, its not like it was a problem before, Aria" said Lucifer "Yes, it wasn''t a problem before because we had him to make sure none of the new gods and fiends didn''t cause to much trouble, now he''s fucking gone, SO GROW THE FUCK UP AND CALL YOUR FIENDS BACK!" "Aria, I never would have expected that the Goddess of Life would use such langauge. *Hehehahah* Well, you''re right, even with the way you said it, fine I''ll call back all the Fiends, but what about your GODS?!" "I''ve already sent a mental message towards all of them to come back, and that any still in the wastelands are yours to hunt, like wise with your little fiends. We need to make sure no one fights too much anymore, with out him here we no longer have someone to manage both of our sides." "I don''t need someone to manager my side!" "Oh so you can manage all your fiends?" "I- uh - fucking fine, I can''t handle it all by myself, are you happy now?" "So we make it only Gods and Fiends can fight in the wastelands from now on, no one is allowed to fight else where, if they do, they DIE!" "Fine, I agree." "Good, I''m glad you can actually see reason. Make sure to send the message to ALL FIENDS Lucifer, I won''t excuse any I find fighting outside of the wastelands." "You worry too much, I''ll tell them, calm down" replied Lucifer as he walked out the door. "Hey Aria?" "What is now?" "Did the old man really - you know....... kill himself for everyone?" "Yea.... yea he did, I saw it happen right upfront..." ===[5 hours ago]=== "H - HOW DID THIS FUCKING HAPPEN!? THE ENTIRE MULTIVERSE IS FUCKING DESTORYING ITSELF! FUCK!" an Old man with short black hair said as he stared our at the multiverse from his personal Realm. Shooting himself out of his personal realm the old man reaches the core world of the multiverse and looks around, as far as he could see was just an endless wasteland, unlike before the world was comletely void of life, so much that even the wind tasted and felt stale, cold, dead. ''I need to fix this but, fuck how do I FUCKING FIX THIS MESS!'' thought the old man as he looked at the wasteland. *woosh* "Hmm, Aria! What the hell happened here!? EXPLAIN NOW!" The old man shouted at the woman who just landed. Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit. "I- I don''t know, I just felt over a million mortals die and then I felt the planet was dying so I came over.. I really don''t know whats going on.. Uncle what''s happening?" She responded teary eyed towards the Old Man. "Mortal just died? Like that? no that''s impossible, A MILLION MORTALS WOULDN''T JUST DIE LIKE THAT! Even if the world died they''d still be able to survive - barely - but survive.... I- it couldn''t be? no, NO!" Shooting himself into the ground the old man started to tunnel downwards to the true core of the Multiverse. arriving to the core he could finally see what happened. "The Core, its dying? T-this...this shouldn''t be possible, but its happening right infront of me? how can I still say its impossible? I- SHIT!" "------Uncle I---- W-w-w-w-whats happ-pened to the core? UNCLE WHATS GOING ON!?" "ARIA, LEAVE NOW! GO CALL YOUR BROTHER, YOU TWO ARE IN CHARGE NOW!" "Uncl-" "I SAID LEAVE! GO NOW AND CALL YOUR BROTHER!" "I can he-" "YOU CAN''T HELP ME WITH THIS! GET OUT NOW!" "bu-" "FUCKING HELL! I DON''T WANT YOU TO DIE AS WELL! GET OUT NOW BEFORE I THROW YOU OUT! LEAVE" Taking a step towards the old man, Aria, shakes her tears off her face before flying out the tunnel well softly crying. "Uncle, please, please come back!" "I never thought a day would come where I actually need to use all my power...... fucking hell this will hurt" said the Old man as he placed his head against the core "Well here goes." "By my right as Creator, Protector And Guardian of the Multiverse, I sacrifice my mind, body and soul to the core of the Multiverse, May my soul protect against any that come to harm the core, May my body save the multiverse by giving its lifeforce to start anew time of growth and rebirth, May my mind calm any beings that need help in their path to a new and better life" ===[Flashback End]=== "So, he was the same Bastard to the end, huh?" said Lucifer "Yea... yeah I guess he was...." Aria replied with a sad smile "I know it not really my place and all, I haven''t really been a good brother, but..... You okay lil sis?" "I-I''m fine... I''m just sad we never saw him with a real smile.." "He smiled all the time...." "Yeah but he was never truly happy, was he?" "I guess we just need to honor his memory by not fucking up the multiverse then, huh?" "Yeah- yeah I guess so." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author Note - Just a random idea I thought up, I don''t know if this has been done before and what not but this most likely won''t be a real story, I''ll post chapters every now and then as I get ideas for how I want it to go on. If you interested in the story please say so I the comments and I''ll try to actually write it now and then. Chapter 1 [Location - Planet Talon - Core] Within the core of the Planet named, Talon, all the elements connected. Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Light and Darkness all merging together like it was normal, forming into new and higher elements such as Lighting, Lava, Sound and Ice, too once more forming into Higher Elements such as Life, Death, Time and Space. Flowing around all the elements were two powerful Aura''s, one was a pure white pulsing out a gentle light, the other was completely black, unlike the white aura it was pulsing out a endless darkness. All around, Talon, people were beginning to experience new things, mage being able to cast high tier magic like it was nothing, normal people showing signs of becoming mages, warriors being able to cast basic types of magic to help them fight and much more that was left unseen, however the biggest change too, Talon, was the core. If one were too look at the core on the Planet Talon they''d see the birth of a being beyond what comprehension to mortals. As all the element started to from together slowly a body began to form from the raw primal mana. [22 Years Later] [Planet Talon - Core] As the body was finished being created from all the elements, the two aura''s and the raw primal mana it bagan to slump down too the ground before recovering. [POV ?????] "Where...... am I? This? This is the Core of the Multiverse? No... no this wouldn''t be the core.... I still have all my senses.... was I reborn? but I should have died... no I shouldn''t even exist anymore.... I guess something saved me? well that''s good I guess although I do wonder why I''m naked..." I said to myself. "Well I may as well go into my soul realm and see if I can find out the reason I''m still alive, at the same time I should try to use to see where I am..." letting myself drift into deep meditation while sending part of my soul outside of my body, almost instantly find pretty much everything I need both about myself and where I am. "Ok then let get just get everything down to memory, I don''t want too keep searching my soul for information" I start listing down to myself while I make some clothes out of mana. "My name is, Atlas Nirvava Ragnarok Dragnix, I''m both a God and a Fiend also known as a Fiendgod, unlike other Gods and Fiends I was able to use all the elements. I was the King of both the Gods and Fiends but didn''t intrude unless needed, the Planet I''m on is one that I personally created and placed within my personal realm within the multiverse to keep it away from both Gods and Fiends." Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation. After I finished reciting everything so I''d remember it at the top of my mind I used some mana from the surrounding environment to summon water to look at myself and saw that I looked just like I what I looked like when I used my younger form. I had the same pure black hair that went down to the base of my neck, the same eyes that looked like seeing the multiverse interchanging to different colors of the elements, my pinkish white lips with a muscular jaw line, my lean build, looking closely I can see I''d be around 21 - 24 years old. As I put on the clothes I made out of mana I notice one thing that I didn''t have before, A small tattoo over my heart of a Dragon and Phoenix on a clock, investigating it abit with my soul I find nothing wrong with it. "Hmm, well I''ve already checked my body and soul and there is a bit of damage but nothing on this world would be able to kill me so I doubt a small tattoo could do much, meh I just ignore it for now and come back to it later.............. I wonder if I should start repairing both my soul and body and get back to the core..? Nah, I was never even fucking happy there, hmmmm, lets just play around on my personal world for a bit, its not like Aria and Lucifer can''t handle thing for now, heh, I just take a little "Vacation" and let myself "Heal" before I go back, HAHAHHA, I wonder how many mortals I can piss off while I''m here *YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN* but first, lets find a city then and Inn I need a fucking nap!" ========= Author Note - I Don''t own this picture, I only found it on the web and thought it was perfect! Anyways this is what his new Tattoo looks like - http://pre01.deviantart.net/321a/th/pre/i/2012/174/c/6/dragon_and_phoenix_by_tigerpeltraven-d54m6qu.jpg just remove the background and its goood! Oh yea any mistakes PLEASE SAY THEM IN THE COMMENTS >_< Chapter 2 [POV - Atlas] As I stood in front of the merchant group I slightly laughed at myself, ME, KING OF THE GODS AND FIENDS WAS ACTUALLY ASKING FOR HELP - FROM A MORTAL NO LESS - TO TAKE ME TO THE NEAREST CITY! UH. THANK G-ME, ARIA &/OR LUCIFER AREN''T HERE TO SEE THIS. "So, what were ya doing in the Dark Lands mate? ya lost? Or maybe ye a BANDIT!? Ya got bounty? maybe a slave that was fleeing? hahaha, I don''t accept run away slaves mate, bring too much trouble with em" Said the fat merchant. "I AM NO SLAVE! NOR AM I A FUCKING BANDIT!..... Look I am just a normal traveler, I took a small trip into the Dark Lands due to needing water, since a heard a waterfall close by I went in, got some water, had to fight a stupid monster which in turn made me get lost. Now two hour later I came here, I heard your carriage''s as I was walking and thought I would see if I could get some direction''s too the nearest city, maybe with a ride? Of course I can easily just walk, I don''t really mind, just need the direction..." "That beastie, ya kill it?" replied the one of the guards of the group "I know different type''s fighting technique''s along with some magic, I can defend myself." I simply stated. "So, ya not a bandit nor are you a slave,huh? you''re able to handle yourself in a fight and know a bit of magic? which type?" said a big bear like man with a scar under his right eye. "I don''t know why I should give you that information, after all I''ve only just meet you, you could be slavers" I merely replied with a cold tone. "Well, my name is Daniel, and before you ask, yes just Daniel, I''m an orphan but I''m also the leader of this escort, not in charge of everyone mind you, I''m just the one making sure no one fucks up big time, we''re currently on our way towards Trinity City, also known as Academy City - or rather better known as - and considering you''re able to fight on par or better than the monsters in the Dark Lands much less go to a waterfall within that cursed land proves you''re at least smart and a good fighter so I wanted to hire you until we reach Trinity City" Said the Bear like man or Daniel This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience. "Hey wait a minute, you''ll just believe his word like that? I don''t see a weapon on him how could he even fight a Dark Beast,HUH? I''ll be the little shit is just lying" I''m gonna kill this fat bastard in a minute! "Did you not hear that he can use magic you fucking merchant!? Shut up and tend to your wares and money well I handle the protection details, or would you rather none of us protect your valuable products?" Hehe I''m starting to like Daniel. "Well I''M THE ONE THAT HAS TO PAY FOR THIS, EXPLIAN TOO ME WHY I SHOULD EVEN HIRE THIS BASTARD!" shouted fatty "Ok, where to begin, one he can survive the Dark Lands which everyone - EVEN CHILDREN - know that the only way you''ll survive is if you''re smart and a good fighter, two you can tell he isn''t a slave as no SLAVE could survive the Dark Lands, THEY''D DIE EVEN IN THE OUTSKIRTS! AND THREE, WE ARE ABOUT TO ENTER WHAT IS KNOWN AS DEAD MAN''S ROAD AND IF YOU HAVEN''T NOTICED YET, WE HAVEN''T MEET A SINGLE BANDIT ON THE WAY HERE! SO TELL ME WHAT DOES ALL THAT TELL YOU!" "Tsk, fine I''ll pay him, ONLY IF HE''S ACTUALLY FUCKING USEFUL THOUGH! AND THIS ISN''T OVER! I''M YOUR EMPLOYER YOU WILL NOT DISRESPECT WITH OUT REASON" "I have my reasons, and you''re a fool if you still don''t see them!" I''ve never seen an argument like this before, hehehehe. "So now that I''ve introduced myself, don''t you think its time to introduce yourself? Mr?" "Oh right, well just call me, Atlas Dragnix. Pleased to meet you, Daniel" I replied to his slight curious tone. "Atlas, huh? I''ve never heard that name before..... Oh well, Pleased to meet you as well, I imagine you might be tired from walking, jump in the fourth carriage and take a nap if you want, some one will wake you up in 2 hours, we want to be alert when we reach Dead Man''s Road" *yawn* "Yea, I think I''ll do that" Chapter 3 [POV Third Person] "Boss, why''d you let that lazy bastard join the escort? I don''t see anything special about him" a young man said towards, Daniel, as looked at the flat bed open carriage that, Atlas, was sleeping on. "I''ll give you one important lesson kid, one that you should never forget, all your life keep this lesson in your head, got it!?" when Daniel saw the young ''kid'' nod his head he went on explaining. "The reason is simply and something you should already know, it his Aura." "I don''t understand boss, I know what Aura means but, I couldn''t even feel a thing from him......" "You''re right, not a single thing, not a speck of bloodlust, no killing intent, absolutey nothing. Now that could mean one of two things, one he''s an expert that can easily hide his Aura, or two""He''s incredibly weak?""Yes, however how would someone who is so weak he doesn''t have an aura survive in the Dark Lands, much less out on the outskirts of the Dark Lands?" "So you''re taking a gamble boss, on someone who could very well be the weakest person in the world, just because he might - MIGHT - be an expert?""Yes.... Yes I am, and you know why? Its because not a single bandit has even been seen yet, now when was the last time bandits had stayed away from a merchant caravan?""That fat bastard Merchant isn''t going to be happy you just took someone along just incase...""We''ll be fine.. Go on and make yourself useful and wake up Atlas, I''m going to the front too make sure everyone is on alert when we enter Dead Man''s Path, you goto the back and do the same, we''ll meet in the middle." [4 Hours Later] [POV - Atlas] As I teleport around the fight too the new vict - I mean bandits, I slightly chuckle to myself that I was casually killing Mortal''s without a care, the last time I saw Lucifer doing it I had him grounded for about 20 years by placing him in another dimension... in hindsight it wasn''t the best of my idea''s to place a Fiend in a prison for Immortals..... placing my attention back to the fight and rip out the heart of the bandit in front of me. The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement. As I look to the still beating heart in my hand I slightly remember why I started to act so violently, unlike one would expect Gods and Fiends didn''t see each as "I MUST KILL YOU AS YOU''RE EVIL!" and all that shit, when a new God or Fiend comes in existence they''ll get inborn knowledge part of that knowledge is that Evil and Good are merely concepts, not actually one of the True Laws, of course that didn''t mean we see everything as yea that fine, go ahead and kill off an entire race, even we had things that we saw as unforgivable and these poor bandits merely found two of the things that I hate, one being enslavement of another being and two rape - stupid bandits actually said they''d enslave everyone and rape the women and some men... - dropping the heart I continue on my killing spree when i finally notice it, the bandits have started to flee but I''ve been killing them as they ran. As I came out of my rage I started to count the bandits that are still alive and flee well taking notice of the deaths. -Bandits Dead - 347 -Bandits Fleeing - 159 -Merchant Group Dead - 13 -Merchant Group Alive - 231 "Huh, I did alot damage in my rage..... oh well better get rid of the rest of these idiots" Looking at the mortal run away in fear I let out a small cold smile and raise arm with an open hand looking like it was covering all of them from where I stood I started to clench my fist slowly well letting out a soft voice "Gravity - Crushing Force" 15 seconds later all I saw was a giant red puddle and the pale faces of the Merchant Group. "Daniel, I''m going back to sleep!"
