Silent Gods

Chapter 5

In a bustling room in Totry, home of the Magi, scholars of magic, a man seats cross-legged surrounded by various books all levitating, this man is Sage Solomon, wordings of the books are entering into the middle of the man’s temple, he smirks, opens his eyes “I have learnt the spell!!!” he laughs like a madman, all the books start spinning violently “ULTIMATE FORM: COMBINE” he coughs up a large amount of blood and collapses, a golden book with seven seals appears and enters his chest. In the Sky, in a golden palace, a being coughs golden blood, this being is chained to a gigantic throne, the being tries to free himself but the chains hold him down “Soon” the being relaxes.

Sage Solomon wakes up and notices blood all around him, the blood is dark in colour,

ERASE

The blood dries up and the ground becomes clean, he looks around him and notices all the books have disappeared, he feels a burning sensation on his chest and when he places his hand there, a golden book appears in his sight, the book levitates “What are you?” he asks the book, a voice answers him in his mind “I am the Chronicles of the Ancient Ruler of Skyon, you invoked me when you combined all the spells ever recorded in this world” Solomon ponders deeply “How come i have never heard of a kingdom called Skyon?” the voice sighs “He really removed us from the annals of history, he also placed a curse on any one we tell such information...mmh...all i can tell you is that Skyon is a forgotten kingdom or would you like to know more at the detriment of your lifespan?” Solomon stands up and walks towards the exit of the room, the book follows him, he climbs stairs that lead to the uppermost part of the building, he locates a room with a red door and enters it, the book follows suit “this room will hide all information revealed from prying eyes and ears, there is no being that can know what we speak inside this room, this room is layered with all the tiers of concealment magic ever known, feel free and reveal what you know” he tells the book, the voice laughs sarcastically, “There are somethings i can tell you but this room has no concealment capability to stop that being from hearing about the information you want to know and if you still want to know, i can tell you but that is at the detriment of your lifespans, how much lifespan you give up at the altar of knowledge determines what i can tell you, you will also grow stronger than you are now, i can see that your powers rely on the amount of information you possess, so i ask again, how much lifespan can you give up?” Solomon thinks deeply “take half of my remaining lifespan” he grabs his chest and coughs out blood which splashes on the book, the book absorbs it and a voice speaks in his head

ten thousand years absorbed

ten thousand realm advancements deposited in human body

curse activated

nine thousand realms locked

forceful advancement to Demi-God realm

curse activated

Demi-God realm locked

Pseudo Demi-God realm achieved

Solomon grabs his head in pain as a whole lot of information floods his brain, a seal leaves the book and appears at the centre of his temple, he levitates, a silver crown appears on his head and a staff of authority in his hands, the roof of the building turns to nothingness and he levitates out of the building and into the sky, the skies rage, the seas bellows, the underworld shakes, the first human demi-god has appeared, a mark of a shield appears on his left wrist. All the scholars in Totry come out of their study rooms and look to the skies, they see their Sage ascending into the clouds, immediately gold lighting strikes him, blue lightning follows suit with black lightning in tow.

Meanwhile Solomon who receives the full brunt of the golden, blue and black lightning respectively hears a voice in his head “for obtaining cursed information about the silent gods, using such information to advance, you are hereby bound to the world tree, protect the world, protect your people, you are cursed to live a life of loneliness, you are cursed to never father a child, your generation has been cut short by your decision, you are allowed to have disciples but you are not allowed to impart the knowledge of the silent gods, you now know the original history of the world, keep it in your heart, tell no one, failure to follow this instructions will result in you fading to nothingness”.

In Skyon, a being materialises out of nothing, flowing white hair, dragon scales, a head of a lion, dragon claws on his hands and eagle claws on his feet, this being is the will of Zes, Silent God of the Sky “so this is the form, time to choose someone, NORTH PORTAL: REVEAL” a portal opens up revealing the Kingdom of Dragons, it goes into a room and reveals a boy sitting cross legged, an aura of Pseudo Divine Realm radiates from him “I can work with that, the dragons were always rulers of the world” he walks into the portal and appears in the room, he touches the shoulder of the boy and disappears with him, the guard watching the prince gets the shock of his life after what he sees, he teleports to the front of a cave “master” he calls out “the prince is still alive, go back and join in protecting the royal household” a voice speaks to the guards mind, the guard turns to a streak of light which heads towards the palace “The Ancients are selecting disciples, the flow of things will change after this, i am too old for all this, i must enter the God realm soon, the humans already have a Demi-God” the voice belongs to Kagayashiki, Dragon Demi-God and first Dragon Emperor.

Meanwhile, in the underworld, a being chained to the altar of darkness opens up his eyes, smoke flies out from his eyes and a being materialises, hair of dark serpents, black flesh, dark snakes on his neck and chest and a bident comes out of the ground and he grabs it and disappears, after some seconds he re-appears with a Naga in chains.

Gorax, the elven empire, things looked peaceful on the surface but underneath a rebellion was brewing, the minority populace of the elves had come together to do a total annihilation of the majority populace, the minority included dark elves, wild elves and the aquatic elves while the majority included the sun elves and the grey elves. In the throne room of the royal palace of Gorax, a round table was at the centre of the room, thirteen thrones surrounded the table, six sun elves and six grey elves sat on six thrones each while facing each other, on the thirteenth throne sat a pale faced elf, a golden crown atop his head, long flowing silver hair, clothed in a white robe, all other elves in this throne room had silver crowns atop their heads. The pale faced elf is Zoriad, Emperor of Gorax, he rules over the twelve kingdoms under Gorax, he is a false Divine Transcendent Realm Expert, the twelve kingdoms are Manosh, Falkvan, Solonis, Zoriax, Maruvier, Montax, Bushavox, Nuran, Masai, Vanvax, Malev, Zendonx. “The humans have gained their first demi-god after ten thousand years, we have twelve demi-gods but still cannot conquer the west, why?, because we might appear united to all other strongholds in this world we all know individually that it is not so” the emperor says while pointing at each ruler of various kingdoms “O great emperor, our disunity stems from the fact that...” Ruhan, ruler of Masai tries to reply the emperor but a wave of the emperor’s hands stop his speech “I know what the major issue is, the dark elves and the aquatic elves want to have their own kingdoms right?” the emperor asks while looking at each and every one of the ruler seated at the round table “allow them to have their own kingdoms, the empty land of Gorax spans over three million hectares, greedily holding unto some portions of your kingdom does not show your worth to the empire but it reveals that some of you do not want peace to reign” the emperor stands from his throne and walks to a window facing the gates of Gor, capital city of Gorax, he turns and walks up to his throne and seats on it “Ruhan, Zor, Saraf and Maraf, stay back, the rest of you can leave” eight of the rulers leave the throne room, immediately the emperor waves his hands “THRONE ROOM: SECOND FORM” the round table disappears, the thirteen thrones disappear, the throne room transforms into a relaxation point, gold plated comfortable soft cushions appear, thirteen in number, they appear in the form of a circle, the four rulers seat on different cushions each, they all seat in a relaxing manner, the emperor also takes a seat on a separate cushion “the humans just gained a God realm expert, how that happened i do not know but you four need to plead to each of your respective pseudo god realm experts to extent an alliance to the kingdom of Cavax” the emperor speaks while munching on a golden grape, the four rulers appear shocked by the news but comport themselves accordingly “Great Emperor, will you be following us or how are we going to successfully seal the deal without your staff of authority” Maraf, Ruler of Zendonx asks the emperor “do not worry about that, once the deal is ready to be sealed, the staff will be appear and handle the rest, you guys can leave, i need to enter seclusion, this humans are either selling their soul to demons or are suddenly gaining fortuitous encounters and even though we need to extend a hand of alliance towards them we need to be on par with their strength” the rulers leave the throne room while rushing to their various kingdoms, once the door closes, the emperor gets up from the cushion, walks to the centre of the room, puts his hand at his back and “THRONE ROOM: SIXTH FORM” immediately everything fades into nothingness, revealing a large cave, the emperor walks into it, on getting to the end of the cave, he touches the walls, immediately it comes crumbling down, revealing a miniature version of the world tree and a woman tending to it with so much care as a mother taking care of its own “Great mother of earth, Protector of the World Tree, i got your message and done as you have asked” the emperor bows to the woman while speaking, the woman leaves what she is doing, walks up to the emperor and gives him a resounding knock BAM “how many times have i told you to act your position, you are the emperor, the emperor of the elven empire” she goes back too the miniature version of the world tree and continues taking care of it, the emperor massages his head and takes a seat in the room “Great mother, is it King Adam that became a God?, you said i should send delegates to Cavax, which i have commanded” he asks while still massaging his head “It is not the king but his regent, his regent possesses a long lost ancient form of magic, i do not even know how that became possible but be weary of him and establish an alliance as soon as possible, i see a great darkness coming, it will wipe out kingdoms and empires will burn but standing on the right side of history will give you a threshold of victory”

Meanwhile in the elven kingdom of Zoriax, Zor, king of Zoriax is seen walking hastily to a cave at the far end of his humongous palace, he reaches the entrance and bows “why are you here boy?, what happened at the meeting to get you all worked up like this?, has the king finally agreed to invade the south and west” the king shakes his head “he has not done any of those things, instead he says we should give land out to both the dark elves and the aquatic elves to establish their kingdom” the voice in the cave sighs “Come in” the king walks in.

Some hours later, in the courtyard of the palace of Zoriax, the king tends to the his garden while doing so, another man follows behind him “Boy, be glad, my master wants to train you to the God realm, arrange your house and prepare, we leave in three days” the king says to the man following and watching him” the man abruptly stops “father, i am but a young man, i have not reached the age of endowment, i am but ninety nine years, one year more i would have achieved endowment, by the decree of the emperor we could be persecuted if word gets out” the king stops tending to the garden and stands up straight, he places his hands at his back and looks at the skies, then looks at the man following him “why do you think the emperor created an age of endowment?, do you think it is because he has all our interests at heart?, it is because before the empire became, elves gained enlightenment at early ages and were so strong and could not be controlled, it is because the emperor does not want to loose his hold on the empire so he placed an age of endowment as a pedestal requirement to start magical training for the elves while creating seals all over the empire to ensure that no one cultivates magic before hundred years” the king places his hands on the shoulders of the young man and looks into is eyes “I have found a way for you to bypass such ridiculous shackles but in three days time, we will leave the empire and go on a journey and that is final” he lets go of the man and disappears, the man bows at his leaving figure.
