The Plot: It begins with the End

There is a legend, and ancient legend, concerning ten dieties.

Each diety started out at seperate ends of the earth, and shaped the land to their desires. They painted the sky, they planted the earth, they made different lands for different creatures. Each diety planted magic in the veins of the earth, and made those beings that could use this magic.

Finally, the dieties met at a final resting place, a land where the magic began and where magic would end. Having conflicting views of what this sacred land would be like. Some argued that it should be a sacred veritable PARADISE, where no mortal may set foot. Others claimed that the land was for the people, and should be raised by the people. Yet others argued that there was too much good in the world, and it should be a DARK place, a place where those of evil intent would roam.

They argued and argued when finally the youngest diety stepped up with a suggestion. What if this land, this final land, contained EVERYTHING.

Places for humans, places for magic, places where mortals may never cross. Forested land, snowy land, demonic land...

It would be a place where the magic ran strongest, and even if mortals would eventually forget magic, the people living here would not. In return, they could never leave the land.

The other nine deities agreed, and set to work.

When the land was finished, they lived amongst their creatures peacefully, each diety at peace with another.

Three dieties eventually grew distraught and unhappy. This land was without a leader. Who would lead the final resting place?

They voiced their concerns to the other dieties, and the other dieties agreed that it was indeed a problem. But then the question arose of who would lead them?

One diety claimed he was the strongest, so he should lead them.

Another claimed that he was the wisest, so he was a better leader.

Still another said that she was most just, so she was the best for the position.

They argued and argued until finally, the youngest stepped up and claimed that they all should rule over their own part of the land.

Reluctantly, they all agreed, and everything was once again peaceful.

But the three were still unhappy.

They realized that they wanted more, but they couldn't get more with the diety of peace around. So, they formed an allegiance, and together they rose up and struck down the youngest diety.

And when Peace died, the other dieties grew distraught and greedy as well, and war broke loose between the deities.

Eventually, there were only four left. The three demonic deities who started the war, and a Just goddess.

As a last hope, she sealed away the three deities deep within the Earth, and she fell in a deep slumber. Peace was restored, governed by the creatures created there.

That is how the legend ends. And now a new legend begins. The seal has been broken.

The red mist swirled about the Doom kingdom, masking everything in an eerie silence.

A calm before the storm.

“Hey, what is this thing?” A large red demon cat flicked her ears as she slunk around the perimeter of a strange brass circle sitting in the middle of the marsh. Her gold eyes observed the intricate engravings and symbols, then glanced up at a nearby dead tree, meeting another pair of golden eyes.

“Hell beats me,” The other cat claimed, stretching it’s long yellow torso, then leaping down next to the red-pelted companion. “What I’m wondering is what is up with all the fae shit.” He added, motioning to the complex writing that rung around the large brass structure.

“You mean the symbols?” The red demon questioned, yellow eyes glinting.

“Naturally! Sheesh, you’d think that you’d know this kind of shit…” He muttered, and then began prowling around the perimeter. “Really nicely crafted, prolly costs a fortune…” He began. “Eva, do you think we can break some of this baby off and sell it?”

Eva flicked her ears. “Quite possibly. However, this… Thing, is formidably crafted, thickly made… It’ll take much more than it usually takes to break this open.” She listed cordially.

“Right.” The golden demon growled, and observed it. “How about the center? Do you think that gem is easy to dislodge?” He questioned.

Eva glanced at the large glassy blue stone sealed in the center of the brass circle, and plodded across the surface to observe it. She gave it a long look, and then got a strange look on her face.

“What’s ailin’ ya, honey?” The gold demon questioned.

“This… It’s not even sealed on properly. Not sealed on at all. It’s just… Placed in the brass… Come take a look, Morgan.” She ordered the male. Morgan got a confused look.

“The hell? First this thing appears out of nowhere, and then we find out it’s shoddy work? What the hell is up with this thing?” He questioned, stopping.

“Well, let’s try taking it then.” He offered. Eva nodded, shifting into her human form. Her clawed hands clasped at the large ball-shaped gem, digging underneath it, and then she lifted it out.

“That was questionably easy…” She murmured, giving the crystal ball a long look. “Like taking a key from a lock…”

The symbols suddenly began to glow, taking in an orange luminescence. Morgan stiffened. “Shit…! Is this supposed to-“

”No, it isn’t. Run.” Eva ordered, turning tail and running herself. Morgan followed suit, his cat form quickly passing Eva.

They never made it.

Morgan writhed in pain, his form pinned down by some gigantic paw… A paw that made him look miniscule in comparison, even when he was as large as a wildcat. Eva’s form lay motionless and bloody, impaled on a long thin blade.

“Ahh, it’s good to be back.” A deep voice growled.
