The Beginning: Creation
Long ago a mysterious entity passed through the dimensional "fabric" of our world. Gathering up massive amounts of what our lovely little home was very abundant of: Untainted, massively potent Spirit Energy. The plant-life, animals, all forms of life were pulsing with this unbelievable power. This entity, or "Nether" as it liked to call itself mostly had no name. It began to syphon the energies of the planet away. Many Deity's of the world came to the aid of this dieing world. A massive bird birthed by the scorching flames of the Sun --- A massive Phoenix, battled this Dark Amoebae. Her powers were awesome but stood no match against this terror. Gaia herself took up the campaign..and fought her with all she could muster. Nothing. The world weakened, and so did its flux of life. Finally...a traveller came forth and stood against this cumbersome darkness. Summoning as much as power as he could..he plunged deep into the center, and apparently seemed lost. Days went by, and the planet was almost on the brink of destruction. A clear, but faint voice was heard. The Traveller called out to Gaia and told her there was only one way to destroy what was plagueing her world. She had to enact an encantation..that would focus all of the spiritual energy her child had left..and send it directly into the center. Enraged she told the voice no..it would kill everything! She was soon instructed..that if she did not the world was going to be destroyed anyway. This method..allowed life to be restored, and a birthing anew. Succumbing to the demand, a massive blueish white light slammed deep into the heart of the darkness, and when it finished..the entire mass of black, inky-like cloud collapsed in and around itself. A small black sphere was all that remained, and Gaia herself picked it up. She could feel the energy she had purged the darkness with seething inside..now corrupt and demonicly tainted. She heard the voice a final time.. "..Never..allow that stone to Fall into the hands of any man. Ever. Or it will spell certain doom for your new world." The stone was then taken and put to rest deep within the hollows of Earth's Core..never again to be discovered. Life once again prospered upon the Earth. Aided by the Winds and Flame of the Phoenix..and a myriad of other Elemental Deity's and 'Gods' ... many beings were created. Also..they were given abilites to thwart such events if they arose. Gaia herself was simple to weakened to take up the battle on her own. She however..did save enough to grant a single person the ability to Enforce her Will. Her Avatar..
The Discovery: The releasing of an Ancient Evil
Thousands of years passed, and the Soul Well of Earth was very strong once again. A man known only as Demitreus came to be feared as one of the most Harsh, and Ruthless Warlords the likes of Earth had ever seen. Through Ancient Magic..he somehow was able to converge all the Elements, even those of the Light and the Shadow..within himself. Many of the races that had been put her with the help of the Old Gods..were wiped out. Their powers syphoned from them..and destroyed. Gaia wept fiercely..until she heard that voice once more. "..It has returned, My Dear..but this time you are well prepared. Banish this menace to the Realm of the Nether..so he will never again be allowed to walk amongst your Garden." Doing as told..Demitreus was indeed Banished. But Gaia's Avatar..had been tricked. The Traveller was imprisoned within the Nether..having been saturated and assimiliated into the Nether's seductive power. Demitreus was given even more power..but in receiving it he lost the powers he had acquired on Earth. Now, he commanded sick and twisted perversions of those powers. He became the first of many Void-Masters. Beings given unbelievable power and the power only made them even more destructive. Bloodthirsty, and always..ALWAYS.. wanting more power. He made his way back to the Realm of Earth..and began his reing of Destruction. Hundreds of thousands died. Gaia's supreme Champion..the Avatar..was also destroyed. He scoffed at Gaia's pathetic choice, and quickly went about syphoning the Soul Well for his Master. Gaia knew she couldn't force the even further empowered Demitreus from her home world..so she choice another. A being of immense power. Her new avatar. An Avatar..that would forever gain strength, becoming far more powerful than he would before. Granting him eternal youth ... this insured that if he was defeated, he could be brought back; even more powerful than before he expired. Demitreus and this new Hero fought vigorously for hours. Beaten severely, but victorious Demitreus stood over the Fallen Hero..and pointed the cursed weapon Sundering down at him. Before his power could be absorbed, the hero vanished. His life force gone. Demitreus screamed in laughter, and before he could even speak..a young boy looked up. He gritted his teeth..and spoke with a growl. "..You killed..my Father. You KILLED HIM?!" Amazed..Demitreus brought Sundering up..and swiped it at the young boy, whom didn't looked a day over sixteen years of age. The sword clashed against his arm..but upon realizing a faint aura covered his arm, it completely stopped the sword dead-still. Forcing it away, he disarmed Demitreus, and drove his fist through the middle of the Void-Master ... and he powered up to such a level it drive a gaping hole into the middle of the Earth. Gaia screamed in anguish, and then realized the young boy had done it on purpose. Holding the blackened Sphere, the young man gazed upwards. He then smiled faintly.. "Father..this..is for you." He then crushed the sphere within his hand. Demitreus screamed in agony..and was swept from the world with a such influx of darkness the pulled all the remaining power the old races had spurned..forever sealing them from this world. The wound in Gaia healed..and the young boy gazed at her with no fear in his being. She then decided instead of punishing him..she granted him a pardon. And he..became Gaia's newest Avatar ... Velius, of the Alkaiser Clan.
The Return: A New Void-Master Arises
Roen Aile Cyren ... of the Wind-Fire tribe was drove from the Realm of Earth by An older god's newest addition to Earth: The Humans. From birth the race of Fiends were doomed --- a curse placed on them in their Early years drove them to madness as their powers of the Sight, The Mind, and The Pain matured. Elementals in their own right..they learned to harness these powers into several different types of Kinesis.. Those of Fire, Wind, Water, Air, Earth, Light, Shadow, Mind, and Madness. Roen was gifted with the Powers of Fire, Wind, The Mind, The Sight, and The Pain. It was sad, his parents knew he wouldn't live long passed adolescence. Forsaking the natural evolution of his people..he decided he would discover a way to postpone, correct or ever reverse the ailment of his people. Taking refuge with the humans of Earths Third Generation, he became known as Roen 'Alternate' Kross. With his powers was instantly recieved as a powerful Mage, and with his fearsome strength and cunning speak..he was someone no one trifled with. Carrying a massive lance, it not only tore his enemies asunder..it channeled his awesome power..which many believed could only be Magic. The Harmonian Empire fell..and when the remnants of the Kross family line fled into the bastion of Space..Roen didn't go with them. He took his own route. Jettisoning himself deep into the void, he ended up being rescued by a race of machine-like people..who he entrusted his salvation with. He was rebuilt completely..by machines that could meld flesh and living tissue with bio-organic technology. Cybernetics ...only vastly more advanced. He was renamed, and put into this worlds military force. They were fighting a war..that had raged for several millenia. Five models were created before him, but he proved to be the most powerful due to his natural abilities. Named Ezekiel Izix, he fashioned himself a nick-name of Var'an El'Dier.. Whirlwind. One of the last campaigns he was sent on..had failed. If the Allerian people could not be defeated, or drove from their homeworld..the Syx..decided they would destroy it completely. Izix returned with his "Brothers and Sisters" ..only to find nothing. The planet itself..had been completely destroyed. Discovering a hidden message, the Allerian doctor who had taken Izix in..had discovered his homeworld. The ship they were in was able to make the trip there. It was far more than just a ship he was informed. aRC. A name Izix would forever know and never forget. Putting them to sleep..aRC activated her Transport system..and the next destination: Earth. Izix returned during now what was said to be the Third Age of man..creatures even more strange existed. A race of immortals..the Vampires..were now considered to be the most Vast next to the Humans. Reavers, a sworn enemy of the Vampires held a Vast Empire. aRC took orbit and cloaked herself..and when able..she sent the the nine Ezekiel models to Earth. Then..only time would tell. Many years passed..and Zeke had become one of the Vampires himself..wars were fought. and won. He even had taken on a new name..Zeke. A few years ago..Zeke had discovered a rare form of stone..which said to house incredible necromantic-type powers. Little did he know..this was a remnant of the Blackened Sphere destroy so many years ago by Velius himself. Upon his death..his soul didn't travel beyond. It went elsewhere..into the Nether. He was given life again, and with him he brought back Nether-energy. Which he could use..but his newfound powers weren't completely matured. He lacked control of them..but having a normal body now..and no longer machine..something else deep within his soul was slowly scratching and trying to make its way to the surface. A power long forgetten..and at one time..completely swept away from the realm of Earth..
