Hello everyone, here's the next side story and hope you enjoy it. Also it seems that I still have one more day of break so the slow pace won't happen until after tomorrow. Hope you all enjoy this side story.

-----------------

There once was a time when seven beings appeared. One of them was called Ongarin, the God of creation, truth and wisdom. The place they appeared in was silent and dark.

In his infinite wisdom, he ordered his fellow beings to create a world to fill this darkness. And so they did and they named it Arun. It consisted of one large continent and many smaller ones surrounding it.

Though they created the world, it was empty and devoid of life. And so, under Julia, the Goddess of life, reproduction and healing, life itself was introduced into the world.

Humans, Elves, and Dwarves lived for a time. After a while, the God of war, death and passion, became bored and so created his favored race, the beastmen.

These beastmen ravaged the lands of the humans, elves and dwarves and upon seeing their plight. The God of magic, creativity, and intellect introduced the power of magic.

With newfound powers, they were able to fight back the beastmen and subdued them. Upon seeing such fun, Finda, the Goddess of luck, trials and tribulations forced the world into a large trial.

This trial caused the world to change and many other events to happen. The world split into five large continents and six oceans. The Elves became High Elves, Dark Elves and Blood Elves.

The Dwarves who were above the ground became Dark Dwarves while those below became Stone Dwarves. Some were able to remain as they were and were simply known from then on as Dwarves.

The humans that lived in the mountains grew wings to fly with. Those in the forests became part of the beastmen that they subdued. They created many different tribes ranging from the docile rabbitmen to the ferocious tigermen. Of course some humans stayed as humans as they lived in the plains among themselves.

The most curious effect though, is the dragon race. Interference caused by Finda caused some dragons to become much stronger and be sentient. Dragons at the time were considered as large beasts but now no longer.

There were few of them though so they lived in seclusion and in hiding. These were the races caused by the mischievous Finda. Who caused the continents and the oceans to remain as they are now.

The northern continent is known as the Ice Front, an everlasting frozen wasteland, it harbored beasts of unimaginable size and mountains of extreme cold. This land became the favored home of the dragons.

The eastern continent is known as the Plani continent. A mountainous and rugged land where the lesser and greater dragons reside along with the winged humans, Blood elves, and Stone Dwarves.

The western continent is known as the Asura continent. A massive jungle land where a threat is always behind you. Humans, Dark Elves and the Dwarves live here.

The central continent is known as the Lunaria continent. A land for all climates. A desert, thousands of islands, snowy peaks and pleasant plains. Most of the humans live here along with the greatest of the dwarven holds and the high elves.

The southern contient is known as the Junx continent. It is a mysterious land surrounded by shadow and darkness. A land touched by &%& as it was his resting place.

Oh yes, &%&, the God of Power, Destruction and Ambition. A story that took place after the creation of Arun.

It is said that he coveted the throne of Ongarin. Which god or goddess said so is lost in time.

When Ongarin heard this, even if it was a rumor, it was enough. Ongarin confronted &%& and attempted to kill him. Sadly, a God cannot be killed by another God.

The most he could do was scatter his remains. As luck or as Finda would have it, &%&’s remains landed on Junx and it became as it is now. A land shrouded in darkness.

And so it was said that the world was removed of an evil God.

But little did they know that &%& had left something for the world and to the Gods themselves.

&%& vowed to find the one responsible for his death. &%& was Ongarin’s sibling afterall. They were inseparable and whoever manipulated Ongarin was to be killed for Ongarin would never do this to his sibling.

And so he sent his messengers, the Ravenex, birds with two heads, six wings and twelve tails, to search for clues to find whoever manipulated Ongarin.

Alas, the unknown hand maneuvered and slaughtered them all.

Having nothing to do but to gather power he looked for another way and saw it. A light from some distance. &%& knew that there was someplace in Arun that just had that same light only dimmer.

&%& used his whole power to bring that bright light towards the dimmer one and fused them together. Satisfied, &%& slumbered and could only hope that what was done would work.

That child would grow powerful and find the unknown hand for that hand was not a god’s.

Who then among the pantheon is actually a devil?
