Welcome to Nexus
Renaldo paused. He observed the empty space at the center of his new dimension. He turned once in a complete circle. “This will be epic!”
He let the power condense in his hands as he drew elements from every reach of his new space. With perfect precision he created the core of an enormous planet. The alchemist with skilled hands created Nexus. The next day he created all the bridges and outer lying planets that sounded it. After some time, he stood back and smiled. Nexus was done. It was a beautiful place. The Center of the planet had an grand tree. The roots of the great ash tree extended so deep that it could sip its life from the planets core. It towered above the castle. The structure was vast and surrounded the Mother Solhain tree. His sapphire eyes glowed with excitement. “Now to make what will destroy what I have created.”
The power began to build around him again as his spell gained momentum. Before him a woman became visible. Her crystal blue eyes stared back blanky into the abyss. Renaldo walked around her and smirked. “You are perfect.” He leaned in and kissed her. Giving her life’s first breath. “Lumina, Hello my dear.”
Life entered her eyes. She watched him silently. He chuckled. “Life has no fun without control of self.” He took her hand in his. Renaldo’s hands began to glow. Attitude, knowledge and character now flowed from his hands into her. He instilled the knowledge of order vs chaos. Mathematical symmetry and the desire to keep things in order.
“You are my maker?”
“I am.”
“What shall I call you?”
“You may call me Renaldo.”
She nods and looks around. “What is my purpose here?”
“Your purpose is to keep order in all things and to create new life forms.”
Aldorain appeared behind Renaldo. “Do you think she will play the role you want her too?”
Renaldo laughs, “Of course she will, It is the nature I have created her with.”
He walked around Lumina. “You did a good job Renaldo. She is a lighter version of your Queen.”
Renaldo couldn’t help but smirk, “Well She is pretty uptight isn’t she? I mean I adore her but she needs to lighten up.”
Aldorain laughed. “I think you have nailed my sister on spot.”
Telaria’s heels clicked on the cold granite floors. “Renaldo, Is this your Goddess?”
Renaldo lets a mischievous expression cross his face. “Of course not, You are my Goddess. But this is Lumina, she is the goddess of this dimension.”
Telaria let a wicked expression fill her eyes. “That was a good answer.” She kisses his cheek. and turns back to Lumina. She walks around her. “this is the Goddess of Order?”
“Yes my love.”
“Fair enough, ensure that she creates the sorcerers with Aldorian’s blood. As for the King and the army of ages will be with this.” She hands Renaldo a small vial.
He looks at her with surprise, “You want them made with your blood?”
Telaria let her wicked expression turn into a sinful smirk. “Why not make this fun? I mean you have creatures made from Aldorian’s blood, others tainted by the magic of Apocalyptica, so why should I be left out?”
“Fair enough. Would you like to create Diaglo?” Renaldo smiles.
“Me? Create something that creates disorder? I would never. I am leaving now, I cannot stand to watch what you are about to do. My OCD would kick in and I would destroy it all.”
The two men laughed and watched her leave. Aldorain turned to Renaldo. “May I make Diaglo? I think it would be creative that he is tied first so hard to humanity that he will not do what is necessary.”
Renaldo scratched his chin, “Interesting, I can then write a book with dark spells, and give it to someone to see what happens? Push desperation and the feeling of lost hope to accomplish what they want? That sounds like fun.”
“Let’s add a fun twist. Only Lumina should have a body and the other two must convince her to create them one?
“That sounds interesting.” Renaldo thought for a moment before smiling. “Ok”
The two Gods laugh and finalize the God hood.
Lumina – Goddess of Order (4)
Lyra – her soul forged from fragments Aldorain took from his own soul. (5)
Diaglo – Daemon to be of Chaos. He just has to be destroyed by humanity first. (6)
Lumina
Lumina is the Goddess of Order. She has not mercy, only pure calculating logic and what makes sense. She only cares that her order is not disrupted. Her people mean nothing to her and she operates as if she is everything.
“Lumina” Lyra whispered. “you should make a body for your brother and I.”
She laughed, “Why would I do that Lyra?”
“The answer to that is simple, “With us floating around as spirits, We lack order. We can go anywhere and do anything. You lack control over us at all.”
Lumina thought for a bit, the more she thought the more it irritated her that Lyra was right. So she finally gave in and created two powerful artifacts. The Amulet of Order and the Staff of Chaos.
When these two things were created, a cataclysmic event took out half the population of all her creations. This released enough energy to create the bodies of the gods.
Life created with magic of order, die, they release their magic to be reused. But without the input of order, all things go to chaos.
Thus, large amounts of chaos magic was released into space.
Diaglo felt infused with power. He discovered that chaos magic was his domain, that he could use its power.
This event caused discord within Lumina’s order. She tried to assert control and order over Diaglo and Lyra.
Diaglo
He just wants absolute free choice, Is that so bad? He likes asymmetry and more than anything he loves to piss off Lumina. His favorite thing is to disrupt her order. He was not always so heartless. What changed?
Lyra
She holds the scales of Neutrality. She does not care what side wins. Or does she? Is she just a cold hearted goddess? Her concern is with the balance. Evil must exist in order for Good to exist right? There must always be those you love to hate Right?
