5000 Words
.....................INTRODUCTION................... In the year of 2528, somewhere beyond the stars in the galaxy, a planet has emerged and was later on called as Sanctum. A planet similar to Earth. Few days after the birth of the planet, a massive unknown object bursting with flame is falling from the sky. Loud roaring noise surrounds the skies, and thunders rumbling. The massive unknown object has entered the planets second layer of the atmosphere and breaks into seven pieces. The ground shakes as unknown objects successfully landed on the ground. One of it's scattered pieces is locates at Northern lands, the area where ice and snow exists. Southern lands, the area of tropical forests. Eastern lands, the deserted area of the planet and the Western land where big bodies of water exists. The first two pieces of the unknown object that fell from the Southern lands has transformed into different entity and sensed each other from a distance. The second entity rushed towards first entity and they saw each other. First Entity: I knew sensed somebody's presence. What are you doing here? Second Entity: I must be asking you the same question instead. First Entity: As you can see... we're both have sensed each others presence from a distance. Which means- Second Entity: We are both possibly created by our maker? Interesting. But I have a doubt, we're not identical. First Entity: Indeed. As for what I see on your appearance, I am sure that you are weaker than me... Second Entity: You may look taller and musculine than me but let me guess, you are slow which makes you even weaker than me. (Second Entity smirks) First Entity: Do you think so? I won't be so sure if I were you... (First Entity walks around Second Entity) Second Entity: Want to come and Find it out? (Second Entity points his sword) First Entity: Entertain me... Second Entity: I won't be an easy target! Both begin to fight one another, they have figured out their own skills. The first entity has brute strength while the other second entity has the agility. After a whole day of fighting first entity was exhausted also with few damage and second entity gained a lot of damage which makes him a little slower. Second entity decided to withdraw due to the damage taken from him. Second Entity: I will let you have the victory this time, but the next time we meet again? I'll be your equal. First Entity: **stands up**. You may not be as strong as me but we both know we had a good fight. I commend you for that as my very first opponent in this place. **reaches his hand** Second Entity: **grabs his hand to stand**. I'm flattered but mark my word big guy. First Entity: You know where to find me. Second Entity: **turns around**. Till we meet again, **looked on his side to have a glance** big guy. **then proceeds to sprint to North** Second entity headed to the Northern lands as first entity watch him disappear from a distance. First entity then begin to walk to explore around however, he didn't know someone was watching him. As he walk around, he found a suitable place for him to build his shelter. It was inside the cave with a tall peak of rock. He then climbed to the peak and there he witnessed the beauty of the tropical forest he is living. First Entity: What a beautiful place this is, I can't believe this is my birth land? This place is mine now and who ever tried to enter without my permission will be punished. Voice from behind: Is that so? Big guy? First Entity: (he quickly turned around but he can't see anyone behind him) Third Entity: Ohh.. Silly me.. **revealed himself** First Entity: What? You are different from the one who I fought earlier! Third Entity: Obviously. But don't worry I am just passingby. I don't mean no harm. First Entity: Tell me what are you and why are you here in my land? **raised his guard** Third Entity: I am just here to explore like you but it seems like you found your decent crib? Good choice by the way big guy. **claps his hands** First Entity: Leave now! Or I will reap out your throat out of your neck! Third Entity: He He He! Till we meet again... **slowly fades out** First Entity: he's different from the one I met earlier and he vanished just like that? If that's the case, guess there are other's out there too... Right. So far, it's just me and the two of them. I wonder what the rest of them can do? Second entity has reached the Northern lands of ice and snow. His body feels much comfortable in this place and figured out how to heal from snow. Second Entity: (sits down) Gaaahhh! This place suits me better. What is this place anyway? Voice from distance: This is called mine! Leave now intruder! (slowly reveals himself* Second Entity: How did you?! What the- Fourth Entity: Leave... Now... (nose released smoke as he breathe out) Second Entity: (Confused). You changed a lot quickly. You got the small horns now, still long hairs on your nape but you got more musculine now. I wasn't expecting that this would be our second time to fight! (Proceeds to tackle). Both of the entities fought in couple of hours and the fourth entity lost the battle due to the disadvantage of speed. Fourth Entity: (fell on the ground) Second Entity: Guess we are squared now? Big guy. Fourth Entity: (spits) I haven't met you before. You are the first one who I saw around here. Second Entity: What? Fourth Entity: (stands up). Do I look like a man who likes to joke around? Come inside. I built my temporary shelter in here. Second Entity: Why should I trust you? Fourth Entity: You shouldn't. But the fact that you initiated to attack me first? I should ask myself that same question. Both of them entered the cave and they sat down to continue their conversation. Second Entity: I'm sorry about earlier. I thought you we're a threat. But I didn't sense you not until you revealed yourself. Fourth Entity: I have sensed someone is coming towards me but I didn't expect you to sit down on the snowy ground. Second Entity: Well? If you are not the one who I fought earlier? Who and What are you exactly? Fourth Entity: That's the same question I have in mind since I have found you. But there is one thing that I am sure of... Second Entity: Mind telling me what is it? Fourth Entity: If you are saying you met someone out there like me? Then I am pretty sure there's the rest us out there. Second Entity: Hold on, us? Fourth Entity: There is a possibility that we came from the same creator due to how we can sense each other from distance. But we are not similar nor identical in terms of appearance and capabilities. Second Entity: You are right. But how? did You? Me? Them?! Where did we all came from anyway? Fourth Entity: I don't know as well but I sense somebody or someone else will about to come here. Second Entity: What are you talking about? Fourth Entity: (stands up). You'll know what it is when you felt something strange and strong at the same time. (turns around). Second Entity: (stands up). Oi! Where you going? Fourth Entity: I am going somewhere else to find other's. I will try to talk to them too like what we did. I can't fight at my full potential without weapons. Second Entity: Have you been here before? I need a weapon too so i can fight and win against him! Fourth Entity: No. I am just not used to fight with my barehands. I will head on now. I will see you around. The fourth entity left the cave and second entity confused thinking what he was talking about earlier that someone stronger will come. After a week, at night, a loud thunder struck the center land. The light flashed and reaches the lands at Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western. Each entities ran towards the location of the light and there they saw a man surrounded by glowing light with a chariott. Bright Light: So... the Sacred Seven successfully survived the first week and able to respond upon my summon. (The entities were looking at each other confused) Bright Light: I'm Bright Light, one of the messenger of Athena. And I am here to give you your class according to your birth right, given skills on which I am sure you saw among each other as you test it out from previous fights with one another, or as you figured it out by accident. Second Entity: I have fought two of them before. Are they my brother's or what? Bright Light: Yes. You and your fellow entities are siblings from your maker but not by raise. Second Entity: Wait? So my sibling's are enemies now? (Thunder strucks to them revealing their true identities). Bright Light: As you can see, the Gods has given you your identity and capabilities according to the Seven Spirit's strength. Come. (Entities being amazed) They all walk towards the chariott and they saw Bright Light got inside of it. Everyone was confused but they have no option but to obey and follow him inside. What they found inside of it was stunningly beautiful. A round room with huge golden statues of the Gods and a round table on the center. Bright Light: All of you, Welcome to the Golden Table. Sit down. (Everyone have their seats). Bright Light: Now, before we begin? What are your questions in your mind right now? First Entity: I don't take orders from no one because I believe I am the strongest in here. So mind if you tell me why are we here? Second Entity: Oi! Don't get too confident! We only fought one time and you are declaring yourself as the strongest? First Entity: Want to give it another try? Second Entity: Bright it on big guy! Fourth Entity: Stop! Both of you! Third Entity: Ssss~ I can't believe some of these "chosen one's" are childish. How disappointing. Sixth Entity: Gaaahh! I don't remember that I have sibling's like this in my entire life. Tell me Bright Light, are we really siblings? Seventh Entity: You shouldn't be concerned about being siblings or not. More likely think why we are all summoned here. Fifth Entity: Keep it cool everyone. I'm sure this is not a discussion to debate. First Entity: I will take easy on each and everyone in this room. Consider that as my spare on your lives. (sits down) Bright Light, why are we here exactly? Fourth Entity: Round room... Is this part of the Gods place? Bright Light: You all sound so excited and energetic. Now, listen to me carefully and I want each and everyone of you to pay attention to everythingnI'm going to tell you about where this all begun and why. (Flash of light appeared on) Somewhere in the universe, there are two Gods. A female one and a male one who they both loved each other and shared the same vision goals of success and discover new life forms. They've decided to travel the universe beyond the stars hoping to discover something. As they travel around the universe, they found a planet. When they enter, they saw a lot of small creatures. Confused, worried and scared for what they've seen. The two Gods then decided to transform in the same size as the creatures are so they have nothing worry and to be scared about. They told them their goals and visions and taught these creatures to help them prosper more and to share knowledge as years goes by. When the Gods notice huge changes from these creatures, they to explore more about the universe hoping to find another planet with new life forms and they successfully found a new one and called it... Earth. These God's going back and fort on these two planets until the Goddess talks to the male God about her wanting to stay with these humans because she feels like they needed more help and guidance. The Gods made love in their room and the next day, the male God left Earth leaving a messag for her. As time passes by, the male God haven't come back and it looks like the female God was sad and not able to give her best to help the humans. A male human approached the female God and offered a fruit for her to share with her. Male Human: I believe at least this is what I can do to show you my gratitude on behalf of all of them. We're really grateful that you came here to help us. Female God: It's nothing to thank me for. We just did what we have to do with the gift of knowledge. Male Human: Tell me. My parents told me you came down from the sky? Which means you are beyond the clouds! What does it looked like out there? Female God felt an happiness and share about what she have witnessed on the outside world. The human seems enjoying the stories every other day they talk and share laughter. And little that he know that the female God is slowly falling inlove with him. The female God lost track of how long her partner male God is gone for years because of the male human that she met. Female God: From now on, call me Athena and I'm going to name you as Xavier, the first human to earn a name. Male Human: (confused) what do you mean by name? Athena: It's like what we are going to call you from now on. Like me, Athena. You don't need to call me as Female God anymore because that I have my own name now, Athena. Xavier: I see... Then, why Xavier? Athena: You are the pride of your people and the strongest among them all. Your strength and capabilities to do daily tasks are enough for me to recognize you. Someday, like a lion, you will lead your own people. That's what I have vision about you Xavier so don't fail me. Xavier: I won't fail you Athena. Anyway, why male God is not home yet? Athena: I don't know either but it makes me feel sad that he is not here. (Xavier sat down beside Athena and looked up on the sky) Xavier: Don't worry Athena, I do believe he will come back for you. (Athena looked into his eyes and he reminds him of the male God) After couple of months, Athena and Xavier started to spend time together much closer and relaxed until they made love in Athena's room. Xavier become her partner in Earth and he is the first human to learn the knowledge carried by the Gods. As time passes by, Xavier shared his learned knowledge from the Gods and the humans gained more knowledge and started to grow as families. Athena and Xavier are both standing on the cliff side while watching everyone from above. However, thunders roaring on the sky and a massive unknown flaming object fell from above. It was the male God, he's appearance changed because of being wounded which makes him unrecognizable. The humans grabbed their weapons as survival instict and the male God was confused. Male God: (Struggling to speak) It's me... Your God... Athena... Bring me to her... Human 1: Male God has left us for so long! Human 2: Yeah! And even if you are the male God? We don't need you anymore! Human 3: WE HAVE ATHENA! Human 4: Yeah! We will worship her and we will not recognize you as our God anymore! Male God: Wait how did you humans know her name? Where is she! Humans: Don't get any closer to us! As he look around he had a glance of Athena and Xavier from the cliff. He tried to step forward to go to her but a random human stabbed his leg and pierced through. He was confused how humans made a weapon that can hurt Gods and then he realized it must be because of the man standing beside Athena. He thought that human manipulated Athena and took advantage of her while he was away. Due to anger, male God showed his wrath against the humans. He destroyed homes and lands of the people and Xavier didn't like it. As the male God got a little closer, Athena recognized the eyes of the male God but its too late, she can't fight him due to the child she's carrying in her womb. Xavier asked Athena to lend him a power so he can defend against him but when the male God swing his arm with wind strength against group of humans, a sword from a random human flew over and ricochet to Athena's back causing to pierce through her. Athena fell and Xavier had to brought her to the safest place far from the male God. Xavier: Nooooo! No. No. No. Athena! Athena: Don't cry Xavier, I am going to be okay. Xavier: This isn't suppose to happen! It's all because of me! If only... If only- Athena: Don't blame yourself Xavier. Dont't regret anything including that I got hurt. If there is anyone to blame? That should be me, not you. Xavier: I'm so sorry Athena... I wish I could protect you and our people against the male God. Athena reached her hand to touch Xavier's face and he hold her hand. Athena: Drink my blood Xavier, it is the only way for you to become as strong as the Gods. That is one of my last wish... (Xavier drunk the blood of Athena and cried while he hugged Athena). Xavier: I'll come back for you Athena. Xavier went to male Gods destination and when he arrived, he saw every humans dead body and all the farmlands were destroyed. The environment that was ones full of colors, excitement, happiness and joy are now turned into black grayish mist and surrounded by fire. Xavier was carrying the sword that pierced Athena which he used to fight against the male God. He screamed from a distance and jumped towards him but the male God was ready. Male God: You? How did you get this strength? You stole it from Athena? Xavier: I won't tell you anything even if you kill me! Male God: WHERE IS SHE?!! Xavier: OVER MY DEAD BODY!! Both of them gave their all to win the fight until Xavier finally able to stab the heart of the male God. Male God: You... You betrayed us! Xavier: No... (slowly pushing the sword deeper on his chest). You did. Male God: Ggraaaaahhhhh!! Xavier: See you on the far side! Xavier successfully killed Male God and he heard a baby crying from a distance. It was their child. He was able to hear it because of their bloodline so then he rushed to Athena's location. When Xavier left, male God saw the dark and evil presence flowting orb infront of him. Dark Orb: Ohh... Poor thing, you call yourself a God?! Ha! You didn't manage to win against a mere human. What a disgrace. Male God: He... He was able to defeat me... Because of Athena's blood... Dark Orb: Let me correct you from there, you are clearly killed by that human! What's his name? Oh... I know! Male God: You knew?! (coughs blood). Tell me... What is his name... (he asks angrily). Dark Orb: Xavier... Xavier is the name of the human who killed a God like you. Male God: Xavier... Dark Orb: Welp! We have wasted a lot of time here on the surface. Would you like to come with me on the underworld?Mwahahahahaha! Male God: Athena... Dark Orb: I promise you immortality and uncomparable strength. Do you accept? Male God: I... (coughs) I accept... Dark Orb: Do you want to rule the underworld and be my first king?! Male God: YEEESSS!! Dark Orb: Then you have to give me your soul... your SOUL! Male God: Yes... I will give you... my SOUL... Dark Orb: Well then... (ground shakes and cracks) Male God: I swear in the name of Gods, Xavier. I will come back to surface... And unlesh hell to destory everything! (Male God was fully swallowed by the Dark Flames of the underworld). Meanwhile when Xavier arrived, he saw the seven animals protecting Athena also their child. Xavier: I'm here Athena, I'm here... I'm here... Please! Don't die! Athena: I used my remaining strength and life for our child. He now carries the blood of Gods just like you. Make sure to protect him and the seven animals that I have given to your people. Start over and be human... Athena slowly turned into golden ashes and went up to the sky. Xavier watched her gone looking up the skies holding their baby and started to find some survivors and find a different location to start over with. (Going back to the present where Bright Light and the rest of the Seven Entities.) Third Entity: So... All of these basically started because of betrayal? Fourth Entity: I feel bad for the male God. Did he have a name after his death? Bright Light: Yes. His name is changed to Diablo, the first ruler of the underworld. Diablo spent his entire life under the surface and strengthen his powers. All of the souls of the human that died and committed evil deeds while living were sent to the underworld. Because of that he has an instant army of the dead. Sixth Entity: So... Did Xavier know about Diablo's plans and he was the former male God? Bright Light: No but not until his son coincidentally met the underworld king who disguised himself as one of the humans from the surface. 10 years after the incident, Xavier trained his son Light to fight and protect the human race from the trouble. After training, Light visits the village to assist and watch over them as well. While he was helping the villagers, a strange aura was felt by Light and it was the first time he felt fear. The skies turned dark and everyone from the village turned lifeless vessels leaving Light alive to witness everything. As he saw Diablo walking towards him, the Dark Orb struck into his body which makes him unavailable to move his body. Dark Orb: My majesty, looks like you are right! This kid can stand against the little portion of your power. Light: What? Who are you guys! Diablo: I am the King of the Underworld and you kid must deliver a message for your father. But... I'm a little lazy to explain what I am. So... I will let my friend here do the honor for me... Light: What?! No! No! Noooo!! The Dark Orb showed Light the whole story of the past and also the present where Diablo has formed his own Kingdom underneath the surface with his undead army. Light couldn't handle the stress and fell unconscious on the ground. The Dark Orb left his body and went back to fuse with Diablo. Dark Orb: Let us leave something remarkable out here... What do you think my majesty? Diablo: You don't have to ask, do anything and everything as you pleased. Dark Orb: All righahahahahahaha!! Dark Orb released a massive amount of Dark Flames around the village and swallowed the whole place underground. Diablo grabbed and threw Light back on the surface to make sure he delivers the message for his father. After half an hour from the incident, Xavier and his generals the seven animals arrived the location and they were stunned upon what they have witnessed. It was totally destroyed by flames and lava are on the center deep hole of the village. Xavier sent back his son with the generals back home to the palace while he stayed for a while to investigate the incident. He haven't seen anything like this before so he was curious and worried about this. He found nothing but sensed the remaining aura of the unknown entity which who doesn't know it was Diablo and he then proceeda to head back to the palace. (Xavier arrived at the palace) Xavier: Light?! Light! Wake up! Eagle: He is still unconscious sire. We must let him rest in a bit. Xavier: I'm glad he is okay. How about what get's inside of him? Anyone know's? Lion: Base on what we have witnessed earlier? It is caused by someone powerful and possible has the same strength of Gods. Tamarraw: Exactly Lion, no mere human can do that kind of destruction. Xavier: That is true. But... Who? Eagle: We don't know that too. I'm going to get some scouts to survey the village for further investigation. Snake: I will come with you Eagle. You provide air scouts, I'm going to handle the ground units. Eagle: Sounds like a plan. Xavier: Alright. Just be careful, both of you. Can't let anyone and anybody get hurt because of this unknown entity. Snake and Eagle proceeds to go back to the village so they can conduct an investigation about the existence of the unknown entity. Eagle focuses on the aerial surveillance while Snake was in charge for the ground unit. They have spent a lot of time and couple of days hoping to find out something worth investigating for but what's bugging in their mind was the dark flames and the lava hole in the middle of the village. But then... After two days, Light wakes up unharmed. Xavier hugged him and Light told him what happened and who did that destruction. Xavier knows now that male God was resurrected as Diablo the king of the underworld. He decided to go back to the village and when he saw the surveillance unit are lifeless except Eagle and Snake who are wounded which turns out they have encountered the Dark Orb. Xavier heard a loud voice coming from the lava hole and when he looked at it Diablo emerged. Diablo: Gaaahhh... Good to see you... Xavier... Xavier: You! I won't hesitate to kill you again and I will definitely make sure that you won't get back to life! Diablo: It's our first time to meet after so long many years... and yet you threaten me? Not so nice of you... Xavier: You came back for me... I'm here! Fight me you coward! Diablo: Oh no... No. No. No. Don't be hasty Xavier. I just showed you a little portion of what I am now capable of. Mwahahahahahahaha!! Xavier threw his sword towards Diablo but his body melted like a lava. His laughter surrounds the village while the ground are shaking. Xavier carried his generals, Eagle and Snake, to go back to the palace and as they flew away Diablo is shouting and he is saying... Diablo: RUN XAVIER!! RUN!! RUN WHILE YOU CAN SAVE SOMEONE! RUN! RUUUNNN!! RUN WHILE THE SURFACE STILL EXIST!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Xavier was consumed by fear and weakness. He was worried for the people, his son and his generals. He has a little information he know about Diablo and he has the advantage against Xavier. He needs to come up with a plan to defeat Diablo. In order to do that, he went to the valley and hope to talk to Athena. Xavier: Athena! I'm so sorry! I have failed you for I can't protect everyone against Diablo the king of the underworld.. (A ray of light appears between the clouds and summons the presence of Athena on the surface land) Xavier: A-Athena?! Athena: Don't be scared Xavier, the fight is not yet starting. But you must prepare yourself and everyone to everything about the things can possibly happen. Xavier: How am I suppose to defeat Diablo? I am not strong enough to fight him. And in just a matter of days, he will come back again. Athena: You can stop him even if you are not able to kill Diablo. Xavier: No... That's impossible Athena. Killing Diablo is the only option to stop his rampage on the surface land. Athena: I have designed the seven generals to perform Holy Chamber which traps our spirit in it. I did that for me or him when one of us gets out of control. I secretly gave it to them by transforming the seven animals into humans so they can perform that correctly. But there are two consequences of that. Your life and the seven generals lives must be sacrificed to effectively perform that. Are you willing to take the risk? Xavier: I will do everything I can to stop him even if my life is at risk. Athena slowly fades away as she gave her goodbye's to Xavier. He went back to the palace full of hope and talked to the generals about the Holy Chamber. Xavier then gave generals their names; Leo, Thrope, Aguilla, Meduza, Taurus, Hound and Groc. Xavier let them talked to their families for the last moment before they face Diablo and his evil forces of undead army from the underworld. After few days, the day has come. Xavier and his generals went the Dark Village and from the distance as they have glance the entrance, they saw Diablo with his cavalry of Chaos Knights. Xavier and his generals lined up in front of the village and gave his last message; Xavier: My generals! It's an honor to fight along side with you! May our Gods protect us! CHARGEEEEE!! The loud scream of anger and power surrounds the village as they charged towards the village to infiltrate and Diablo deployed his Chaos Knights against Xavier and his Generals. TO BE CONTINUED...
