Silent Gods

CHAPTER 8

Meanwhile in the underworld, in front of a throne, a figure can be seen on the floor absorbing dark particles into her body, she is Xyra, first disciple of Sel, custodian of Hell, capital city of the underworld, the prison that Gol made to house the Primordials that participated in the destruction of the original world had been converted by the will of Shad into a boisterous kingdom, it is now known as the Kingdom of the Underworld, Land of the dead, it is ruled by Sel, prince of the Underworld and Lord of Hell. Xyra was the daughter of the Lord of the Naga tribe but she was taken to be trained by Sel in the art of death, she had to pass through seven intense near death experience to be known today as the Child of Death, she is currently at the Pseudo Demi-God realm “Master, teach me the means to become a God” Xyra asks while bowing towards a being seated on a dark throne “child you have absorbed death accumulated for thousands of years in the land of the dead and fought in seven life and death situations with seven different death beasts, this training that you have done for four thousand years according to time calculated in the realm of the living which was only four hundred years here has propelled you into the Demi-God realm, I will have to send you back to your tribe, you can only attain Godhood by absorbing death in the land of the living, when you have achieved it, I will bring you back and train you personally in the depths of Hell, to raise your realm” a portal opens, Xyra stands up “I will not fail you master, can I spread your teachings and name to my people?” the figure on the throne stands up and walks up to her “spread my teachings but not my name, spread the teachings of death, do not spread the secrets of the world, tell no one of the deep secrets of this world, information known in the underworld stays in the underworld” he pats her head warmly and pushes her into the portal “you will forget about me till you attain Godhood, I am silent, no one can know of my presence” the being transforms into Shad, God of the Underworld for a second and transforms back into Sel, Lord of Hell.

Meanwhile in the Kingdom of Skyon, inside a throne room, a man is seen levitating cross legged while golden particles enter into his body, he has golden scales and flesh and two miniature black horns on his head, this man is Zagon, Prince of Dragok and first disciple of the sky, another man is sitting opposite him in the air also, he is the exact replica of Zagon, he is Dagon, clone of Zagon, both of them are at the Demi-God realm, immediately both eyes open and “Final Form: Merge” the two beings merge and the skies shake, a bright light covers them and later reveals a man, white as snow with reptilian eyes, golden veins on his snow like skin with no horns, this is Zagon’s normal form at the God realm, a portal opens up and he enters inside, he appears in Dragok, takes in a deep breath “Normal Form: Reveal”.

At the base of the world tree, a door materialises and opens up, out comes a pale faced young elf, he is Kariad, the last born son of Emperor Zoriad, he is the King Protector of the World Tree and one of the Guardians of the world, he is the only True God expert but appears as a Demi-God realm expert most times, he swirls his hands and two wood elves appear with wooden crowns and wooden emerald bows on their backs, he whistles and SCREEEEESH a large Golden Eagle dressed in Golden Armour comes from the top of the tree and lands in front of Kariad, he mounts on it with the two wood elves, they fly towards the elven empire.

Meanwhile in Seaon, the storm deity sitting cross legged on the floors of the pyramid “They have all concluded their training, I had not seen any being worthy of my time until now, I need to wait for another six thousand years before I can take him under my tutelage” the storm deity opens up his eyes “I hope by then your various disciples will win against mine because you would have two direct disciples but by then I will have only one, I will wait, I am silent and my patience lasts forever” a knock is heard atop the pyramid, the storm deity looks up, his eyes shine blue and he sees through the pyramid, he sees an hydra the size of his arm knocking on the top of the pyramid “come in” the top opens and the hydra falls in and lands with a thud “ouch, can you not be more careful Lord Storm, ah my heads” the hydra rubs his various heads, the storm deity looks at him in anger “why are you disturbing me at this moment, do you not know that at this particular time I will be in my meditative state, you had a better have a very good reason as to why you have disturbed me?” the hydra fidgets but composes himself “there is a new god of the sea, I know master is the overseer of the sea but currently I witnessed a new manifestation of a being that commands the sea with a silver and gold plated trident is master awake? Or what should we call this?” the storm deity sighs “the sea dwellers have done a wrong thing, I have always shown them the right path to follow which they have always followed but now their misplaced worship has birthed a new god, what is the name of this being?” the hydra inhales and “they call him Atlas, God-King of the Sea” the storm deity disappears from his spot and appears on the edge of the sea kingdom known as Atlantis, an extremely beautiful kingdom made with the most precious gems the sea had to offer, at the centre of Atlantis is the palace, home to God-King Atlas, the storm deity transforms his form into that of a child and enters into the kingdom, immediately he coughs up blood and appears back inside the pyramid, chains with arrow like end points pierce into his hands and legs, golden liquid leaves his body through those pierced points, the liquid gathers up and forms a pool, a voice speaks inside the deities head “you are my will, do not interfere ever again in the activities of the sea dwellers, this pool of golden liquid can only be accessed by you after the appearance of six full moons” the chains leave the Storm deity and crawl back to the throne at the centre of the pyramid, he sits back down on the floor crosses his legs and places his palms together, immediately wind blows inside the pyramid and it enters more into the depth of the sea.

Meanwhile in Atlantis, in the palace of the God-King, Atlas eyes snaps open right at that point that Lord Storm entered his kingdom, he stretches forth his hands, his trident appears but the feeling disappears “who was that? I felt the presence of a God-King realm expert…are there hidden figures in the sea that I know not off…the presence has left” he thinks deeply “Guard get me the chief historian immediately” the guard rushes out of the throne room to the Atlan library.

God-King Atlas is on his throne, his trident in his left hand while his chin is on his right hand, the doors to the throne room opens and in comes a vibrant looking old man, he has an aura of a scholar, he is the chief historian and chief explorer of the Atlan Exploration Team “My King, you requested for my presence” he bows towards the throne “High Sage, come join me for a discussion” the king gets up from the throne and beckons on the high sage to follow him, they leave the throne room and enters into the royal library, they both seat down facing each other “are their undiscovered parts in the vast sea that we do not know of?, are there other kingdoms?, what lies beyond the great ice wall?, what lies at the centre of the vast sea?, are there other people like us?” the king asks the high sage, the high sage looks at the kings face with all seriousness “My king, there are secrets of this world that we both know cannot be spoken about with levity else a curse is placed on us, what I can say, is that in the vast sea, there are places and beings that we cannot fathom their strength, one of my explorations, I think I saw a glowing sea serpent, on trying to know more about it, it disappeared from my front, in another instance I think I also saw a creature with two or more heads, all these beasts were at the True God realm, I pin pointed the locations where I saw both of this beasts but when I observed the map more, I found out that I noticed them some metres away from the Ice Wall, I can also tell you for a fact that if we one day know what is at the centre of the sea, we will also know what the Ice wall stands for, I personally am of the opinion feels that the Ice wall we see surrounds something at the centre of the sea, something dangerous, something we are not meant to know” the king has shock written all over his face “why did you not include all this in your report, just some moments ago, I felt the encroaching aura of another God-King expert entering Atlantis but when I wanted to meet the person, the aura left in such a way like it was never there to begin with, apart from you and I, there are no other God-King experts I know of, now if the Ice wall protects something at the centre of the sea then I can tell you for a fact that we are not alone and that is dangerous”
