The Lords Of Creation (Story)

[Celadon's Penultimate]

"Come now! The Quartz One awaits our arrival." Jassi cried out.

Uburra-Namall looked down to the ground of the mountain peak, and then up to the clouds above. She pulled the clouds down, and they bent to her will, into two chariots. One for Uburra-Namall and Khadai, the second for the twins.

"All right. We shall meet with him to be band together against the dragon. Khadai come with me. Jassi and Jissei, fgollw our lead."

The four were off to meet with Vram. Using Khadai's deceptive prowess, they would fly in total stealth; with Jassi's help, the skies were docile, and carried them aloft with not so much as a whisper of complaint. Jissei warded off the birds in their way, and Uburra-Namall psychically announced their presence to let Vram know they came in peace.

Aetherian stood at the top of a palace in one of the bay cities. "What is is" Desrycai asked. The dragon approaches, Desrycai, every moment it comes closer. "Still, surely we can defeat it?" Oh don't worry, I already have more than enough planned, for now I just need you to prepare the armies, most will stay here but there is still something the Aetheri can do. "Yes Lord" Aetherian sensed out across the Aether to the point where it frantically tried to organize the energy around the dragon that was causing all of the destruction.

Orelion and Achelyai stood at a distant point in another city at the beginning of a huge circular patch of metal with a vimana in the center. It towered up into the sky and gleamed a light red. The two deities shared a glance before Achelyai entered something into a strange control panel made almost entirely out of ceramic disks and a deep roaring coursed through the air. Even at their great distance from the vimana they could see the fires that blasted out of it's end as it began to rise into the air. The shockwave reached them and pushed back the grass at their feet. They watched it rise up into the air until it was only a blinking light in the upper atmosphere. It turned and headed off into the horizon, towards the dragon.

Scielyai stood in a huge room, filled with tanks of liquid with strange things inside, gleaming ceramic tools and parts, vats of mercury, coils of wire, and a million other strange contrivances. He checked the tanks and rushed over to change some conditions. " I only hope that these will prove to be a bit of trouble for that infernal dragon" he said with a smile.

Tiemalyai floated in the air above the entrance to the bay. In the distance he could see the peak of the bay island mountain against the pale sky. Aetherian dissent want any Aetheri to get injured during the calamity, not even those who would be going into combat. As such Tiemalyai had been ordered to create an almost insurmountable defense to protect the island. With that in his mind he raised his hands and felt the pulse and flow of Time. He warped and moved if until it formed a sphere larger than the island that surrounded it. As that was done he suddenly removed the island from the rest of the worlds time, making sure to keep the two at the same pace, and let it settle. Only at a certain small point above the bay could the island be entered at.

[Zaleramancer]

I Hunger.

It could sense many gods in this world. Tasty morsels to devour whole. Across the waves, on a central island, it sensed many shining gods- and a young race to serve as a snack.

It moved. Plowing through the petty water like nothing. Surging to satisfy the ravenous hunger.

I Shall Eat.

[neogenetica]

As the abomination moved Aetherian sensed out across the island. Good, things are going well. He watched as the vimanas rode into the air and moved out of the displaced time into the world to ward off the dragon. Thanks to Tiemalyai's mastery over time the iutside world could be seen, heard, smelled, and sensed yet they were protected. He looked down from his vantage point over the bay and could see a few cities on the horizon, swirling with light, life, energy, and color.



Aralia walked down the halls to her brothers chambers. The gods had come down and alerted the Aetheri of an impending threat. In all their glory they described how a dragon of unimaginable size was coming towards the island. She looked out the terrace as gleaming vimanas flew out into the sky. The marvelous cars of great excellence and wonder that flew on water and in the air where their master's bade them. As Aralia entered her brothers chambers he rose from his meditation. Both shared the mildly dark skin and delicate features of their family. Their dark hair, hers long and combed, and his mildly ruffled and spiky showed them as siblings. She wore a long red and pink dress with the pattern of flowers woven by an expert weaver. Her brother, Vishlan, wore clothes of similar color and material but in a form of short pants and fitting shirt with the customary belt of silk worn by men in the family. Come, Aralia, said. We must get to the vimanas on the far middle terrace so we may depart to Vedanlai. Father has forbidden us from leaving the island. Calm yourself sister. I can tell that we must leave. I shall guide our flight using the Havasa(Command Words). The two made their way to the appropriate terrace and went to the Vimama. As the boarded the craft it closed the entry's. It was a craft covered in a layer of gold created by alchemy to be as hard as folded metals and shaped like an elongated oval with ridges that jutted out at certain areas. Vishlan began to speak the command words to raise and direct the craft. "Arevya"(Rise), "Yalivaya"(Fly), "Kalineri"(Move west). Aralia watched at her brother sat in the lotus position in the cushion that was the pilots seat. This vimana, being a relatively small one, was semi mechanical in the nature of it's fastest propulsion but was piloted by mental concentration and the invocation of command words spoken in the right tones of resonance. As they flew over the house Aralia looked out. They rose over the compound that contained many houses of her family and she saw part of the city. Stepe pyramids could be seen in some places, they were either sites for ritual, alchemy, or were landing ports for the rich who owned grand Vimana. They flew quickly as nozels shot out an electrically charged vapor. The lush jungle appeared beneath them as they headed towards Vedanlai.




Kynrio walked towards a large square building of brown rock. Unlike most it had no doors and indeed it's entranced were long absences of rock between the corner pillars that supported it. It could actually be best described as a square of brown rock perched on four thick square pillars with a seven foot space between it and the ground. It was in this space that scribes wrote down, translated, copied, and recorded things. It was a bit open as it was only divided into sections by the same rock as the building that formed walls between some sections. He walked over to his Yayena(A small circular raised section of the rock with a sunken seat scribes would sit it. It was only decorated by the fact that with small ledges it looked like a circular and minature stepe pyramid. He retrieved a writing tablet and headed up rock stairs into the rock cube up to a hollowed out room that stored manuscripts. Before stone blocked his view he looked out at the city. It was interesting to be a scribe but he Kynrio wished that he lived in a section of his city other than the one dedicated to alchemy, science, and magic based off of basic things such as rock made into advanced things. Some stones levitated in the sky via resonance and looked as if they flew with the gleaming vimanas of different places.



Kalyina watched from the roof of her families house. Unlike the Vimanas that conquered the sky's there were an abundance of chariots of all sizes and designs on her roof and those of families in the distance. Some had vimanas that were quite grand that begin to rise. A pure white one the size of three houses made of ceramic quickly rose into the air humming almost imperceptibly with power. It shot off into the sky towards the mainland. She concentrated magic in her hand and teleported to the terrace where the chariot that her family would ride in was. Her father and mother were inside and she entered as well. Once they were in electromagnetic projectors covered the front in an airtight shield for where they were going. The wheels began to glow and caught on to the subtle forces of the world on which the chariots rode and took upon them. It rose rapidly and moved above the city towards the sky far above the island. Kalyina looked out and marveled as onebof the few Pupishala(Flying cities) thrummed by their side as it followed it's set course. She closed her eyes as they rose through the time portal so that, like a few other families, they could head above the atmosphere to temporarily orbit in space for safety.

Desrycai flew over the sea towards the dragon. Up ahead he could see gods standing on an island. He flew ahead to see what they planned before he  signaled the other gods of his land to come support the fight or join in it.

[GreenDay]

I meet where the other gods are converging, and accept my armor from Vram, as do my companions. We see the dragon approaching the island where the storm had come before.

"It seems like that island is a magnet for disasters." Now that I am here, I can sense the full, awesome monstrosity that is the beast. I begin collecting Life from the are, while the others prepare as well. Condimorian does as. I am doing, and begins calling plants and animals to the area. Arion controls the weather around us, forming many large cyclones. The Elemental Siblings start gathering power.

"We have to go through with the plan now." Hearing my command, we set to work. Arion starts bringing the storms and expanding them, while Etylai and Akylia bring the Maelstrom to where we are. As this is going on, Bromat shifts the crystal tunnel to come to us, while opening the part of the volcano connecting to it. Lava and fire fill the tube, which leads to the center of the Maelstrom. Once filled, it separates from the volcano, and attaches to the ground at the base of the Maelstrom, where the ground is exposed, attaching to an underground lava patch. The cyclones converge on that point, forming a great column of swirling air. It is charged with lightning, which can be seen flashing on it's surface. More cyclones come down from the clouds, connecting to the Maelstrom, becoming gargantuan pillars of swirling water, also charged with lightning. These continually move, creating an ever shifting wall of electrically charged water around the edge of the swirling current. Etylai took the steam created from the heat, and put it into the small orb near the end of the crystal tube.

The trees trembled and worshiped ceaselessly as Jassi's body bristled with divine indignation. The skies slithered like a pit of snakes, each with the voice of the ocean. Animals quaked at the anger she felt toward the dragon, and took cover. The oceans beckoned to receive her and carry her to fight the monster she now declared her nemesis, but seemed also afraid to get too close. She clenched her delicate toes in the sands of the shore as she menaced the dragon.

Jissei interrupted her internal war-planning and showed her to the armor Vram had prepared for her.

"Uburra-Namall is already getting prepared. And so is Khadai. We should ready ourselves as well."

Uburra-Namall slipped delicately into her armor. It was brilliant and prismatic, looking fiercely beautiful, radiant, as though she had taken the rainbow and the aurora borealis itself and made them into a shield, a shapeshifting sword and gleaming armor.

As for Khadai, she was clad in the most obscuring obsidian, trimmed with deep-crimson garnet. An onyx-tipped whip was her weapon of choice. She illuminated a sort of naughty allure, but promised still to be fierce in combat.

Jissei donned his armor with great pomp and almost regal bearing. Deepest blue sapphire trim, and black onyx so dark it would blind a mortal man to look upon. He tossed his jet-black hair back to put on his helmet, and his piercing gray eyes were cast onto the sea like a warrior headed to the greatest glory of combat. His weapon? Dual black swords with a blue shield.

Jassi hastened to prepare herself last. Luminous white pearl, trailed about demurely with light sapphire blue, she appeared a heroic maiden, ready to take on even the depths of perdition. As soon as she touched her sword, the pearl blade was aglow. Something about facing evil so blatant simply made her more intimidating. More...powerful.

Everyone looked to her as she menaced the monster on its way across the waters.Then they looked overhead, realizing that a storm was fast building.

"We had better get going." Uburra-Namall said finally. After gaining, from the quartzy craftsman Vram, the weapons they would need to fight against the beast, Uburra-Namall was ready to be on her way to fight the monster that threatened potential allies. She looked out across the vastness of the waters.

As the others packed their equipment into their respective chariots, she noticed in dismay that, while they would be off to fight the great evil, their home would be unprotected, in the event it attempted to do a range attack there (or worse, in the event that others like him were not far behind).

The threat would not stand. She looked to the others and thought with all her might to preserve her home.

"Our home." The others turned to her, "We have been far too hasty in our preparation to face the dragon. In being here, we leave that place unmonitored, in the event some other threat should arise."

Khadai looked out and agreed wholeheartedly. Something had to be done to not only defeat the dragon, but to protect their home.

Though no one could stay behind. They would be needed on the battlefield. And so some more would be needed.

She went over to the pile of precious stones that Vram had just dug up, and picked out seven of the loveliest specimens, each of a different color. Touched by her powers, they immediately began to change. They levitated and began to swirl around her, faster and faster; imprinted upon by Khadai's thoughts, they took form.

The first was lovely and thin, clad in a violet gown. She was called Vai.

The second was clothed with a nearly-golden yellow. She would be named Prasim.

The third wrapped all around in a fitting tangerine. Her name was Eda.

The fourth, covered in a soft and luxurious pink. She would go by Desra.

The fifth wore a deep and passionate red. Her name would be called Nasta.

The sixth was vested in wispy gray, dull and dun. She was named Slomna.

And the last had clothing entirely of green. Her name? Indiva.

They curtsied at Khadai, each expressing their gratitude to be brought to the mortal coil, but Khadai raised a hand.

"Now is not the time to be pleasant. I have a job for you all. Vai, Pride, as you are eldest, you shall command your sisters, with me overseeing you, and Uburra-Namall overseeing me. Prasim, Greed, you shall keep stock of the Lady's treasures. Eda, Gluttony, you shall oversee her food stores and make certain her animals neither hunger nor thirst. Desra, Lust, you shall keep the animals plentiful and diverse. Nasta, Wrath, you shall frighten away intruders and rally your sisters to fight if need be. Slomna, Sloth, you shall touch the animals and lay them to peaceful sleep, and touch the Dragon to pull him down in lazy stupor. And Indiva, Envy, I give to you the most lenient task. You shall help your sisters as you see necessary. Borrowing their skills, and making them your own."

The sisters nodded, and were off to the island in the blink of an eye (or perhaps as the twinkling of a gemstone), to the corners of the island where they were needed most.

"Now", Khadai turned back around to her mistress, and the twins beside her, who anxiously awaited their marching orders, "we have a foe to vanquish."

[jester_of_god]

"ZZzzz.zZZZzzz...ZZ."

Jester: "MIK HAEL!"

"AURGH." I fall out of the tree I was resting in, "What the Hell!!!"
 
Jester: "Go kill that." A warp appeared in time space in front of me showing a gigantic lizard like creature the size of a small continent wading across the surface of the world.

"....How did I miss that."

Jester: "Doesn't matter, I'll join your shortly, I have work to do in preperation." HE turns to a large brewing orb of chaos sitting in the center of his land. It is about time I set you to wrok little one.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

As Vram and Locali hand out armors and weapons, the War Machine on which they ride draws near to the Dragon. Vram controls the massive machine to a stop. Locali aims all the weapons towards the Dragon and the two Gods wait for the signal to attack.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

As the Dragon approaches Vram and Locali launch every weapon on the War Machine in it's direction. The many projectiles stick into the dragons hide like pins on a pincushion.

[jester_of_god]

I look towards the god of incentionand sea him launching weapons into the dragon's hide. Seeming to have little to nor affect...perhaps I can help.

"God of invention, I think I have something that you might be interested in." I land next to their war machines and use my nomain to create a large bundle of material. "I found this after I reaped the soul of an Aetherian magician that had claimed immortality. It seems to be some sort of highly combustable material. I accidentally destroyed the tower by setting off a few milligrams of this. If I can create more of it and add it to your weapons we might be able to cause damage to the dragon or at least slow it down."

[Marvelous Miscreant]

"Your gift is much appreciated. We the gods of Crafting and Locomotion will use this to make some new explosives to launch"

[jester_of_god]

"Your welcome, I'll see if I can find a way to slow it down or stop it's advance. I can't take the chance of it destroying any of this world."

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Vram and Locali work quickly to craft explosives from the new material. When they are done they load up the completed explosives and launch a test volley.

[jester_of_god]

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Vram: "At least we know they work...."

[Marvelous Miscreant]

"Quickly, load more of those explosives. We must stop this Dragon before he destroys our lands."

[Celadon's Penultimate]

"Are you ready?" Uburrra-Namall looks to her comrades.

"Definitely" Khadai smirks with a wicked glint in her eye.

"Of course." Jassi braced herself bravely.

"Ready when you are." Jissei brandished his sword, face unchanging from his pompous disdain.

And with that, Uburra-Namall took her closest companion, Khadai, and climbed into the new chariot Vram had forged for the two of them. Two reindeer-sized Vyoculos at the reins, the chariot's marble was polished, decked out in the most beautiful gems, all made to withstand even the most monstrous attacks by their immense adversary.

Jassi hopped into the second chariot with her brother. Drawn by one white winged unicorn, and one black winged unicorn, the pattern alternated to depict their duality exactly. Jissei took the reins as Jassi adjusted her armor one last time, and the two looked over to Uburra-Namall for the signal.

[jester_of_god]

With the Beast distractedby the explosions I got in close to it's right leg, creating a large blade with the Soul steel, slicing though the back of the heel and through the Tendon. The Beast let out a cry of pain and fell. But I saw that As soon as my blade left the cut, it had already begun  healing and the tendon was stitching itself back together.

"Well that's not good."

[neogenetica]

As the gods, save Desrycai, donned their armor they rose into the air high above the sea and prepared to attack. Achelyai was near the back and began to create orbs of bright light in his hands, using alchemical fusion to use the very air as fuel. He launched several of these at the dragon, none infused with divine energy, and they flew at the monstrosity. They were a strange sight, luminous and humming while following random paths that twisted, turned, doubled back, and sped at the dragon. As they hit from several angles they released their energy and blasts of energy racked it's body.
