[QUOTE="LordVyreth, post: 1553613, member: 9626"] [b]Excerpt number five[/b] Expect a full update tomorrow, and a second one some time over the weekend. For now, here's another excerpt to tide you over. This one is from Nelkiss, the goddess of death. Basically, think of Kelemvor, if he was reincarnated as a female goth. The New Creation and the Betrayal (Excerpt from the Book of Nellkiss. Again, we would like to remind you that great force of evil doesn’t mean another goddess. No revision was necessary or performed. We don’t know where these rumors come from. Thank you.) And so, the eleven of us, we who were blessed and cursed to live forever and look on while others slowly wasted away and died before our eyes, acted to join our strengths, so that future beings would be partially eased in the sufferings that serve as the very definition of life. They pooled their energies, and created new civilizations on the world, which started their existences armed with all the mental weapons of the gods at their disposal. We hoped that our powers combined would be enough to create a truly content society, that is immune to the inevitable destruction and entropy that the universe continuously forces upon its terrified inhabitants. Alas, it again was demonstrated that no force could possibly withstand sorrow’s dark touch, as no sooner had we created our masterpiece than dark forces overwhelmed it in War and Strife. Soon, the people, once loyal believers of our claims, were led astray by the constant turmoil of their lives, and they surrendered to cynicism. They denounced us, and created new images that they worshipped as gods, in the mistaken belief that they could rescue the world. But in their foolishness, they created two powerful monsters that fed off of their weakness and desperation. They were called the Puppet and the Head the Rules the Claw, and they tore the world asunder in their arrogance. The good people were scattered, and had to flee from the very sun that gave them life into the cold, dark tomb of the underworld. Still the two despots schemed, and they combined their power in an attempt to bind the sun entirely, and suffocate the world’s people. With the mortal forces powerless, even the slightest chance at salvation seemed utterly, utterly hopeless. [/QUOTE]
