As time went on they began to fill out their cave home to the brim. Needing to once again return to the plains because there were to many that lived on the hills. But is was still too dangerous for there people to live on the plains with the stampeding herds so the people once again turned to Detrei for answers.

" Well it seems we're back here once again will our plucky heroes solve the quest this time." Simon said sounding like he was the storyteller from action cartoon.

" Yes we will Simon now knock it off. Our best bet is to have Detrei expand her domain again but this time have her choose mistress of the hoof That way she can teach the people how to tame herds so their not a threat anymore." Robert said feeling this was the best way to finally solve the rampaging herds problem.

" Yes creator we can also use the Mistress of the hoof ability to create special breeds to introduce new species into the herds that give birth less often to bring the herds population to more manageable levels." Detrei said agreeing with her creator while hoping he would be happy with her addition to the plan.

" Good idea Detrei, yes that would be perfect for what we need. All right I'll start giving you the divinity needed to start your expansion so let's begin." Robert said while beginning the processes of Detrei's divine expansion.

Once again the power of her creator flowed through Detrei as she was given options for how she should expand her domain of divinity.

C- architect of the farmstead

Detrei chose option a and once again in explosion of light she had gained a new domain and with that she set out teaching the people how to tame the horses and befriend the oxen. After that was done she then created altered versions of both oxen and horses that give birth less often to bring their population under control as she and her creator had planned.

With the threat of the herds dealt with and the herds now helping the people expand their fields the people began to flood onto the grassy plains quickly creating villages that surrounded the hills.

Soon those few that remained at the hills were those that led the villages for they were at the center of the villages and could respond to any problems the villages had. The one chosen to lead those on the hill would became known as a hill lord.

For a time the people reached a height of prosperity unseen before under the leadership of the hill lords and with the aid of the herds their fields had yields unseen before and they kept expanding until their farms stretched as far as the eye could see.

This time of prosperity came to an end when the territory of different hill Lord's began to touch and they began to argue over which villages on the borders of the their respective territorys was who's responsibility. This began to escalate until for the first time tools were drawn not for work but for blood but luckily before any could be shed Detrei intervened and began to work on a solution to decide to go about how to handle the problem.

" Ahhh we could have had some great TV right there." Simon said disappointed he wouldn't get any footage for his new show the war of the hill lords.

" No Simon we don't want the people fighting each other especially since a civil war and it's consequences could interfere with the greater plan going forward." Robert said to Simon trying to get him to give up on any ideas of war documentary's. "Anyway Detrei we're going to have to deal with this problem quickly before it spiral any worse than it already has." Robert said to Detrei refocusing on the problem.

" Yes creator but how?" Detrei asked seeing the problem was the fact the people's expansion from the hills had lead to over lapping territory but not really sure how to go about fixing the issue of authority that now came about.

" Simple Detrei since they are your people you will pick from the Lords those you find worthy and make them kings. Perhaps even craft special crowns for each king to show their station that why the question of authority is settled." Robert said using the idea of effectively a divine mandated monarchy to solve the current situation.

" Yes that would work creator I will begin immediately." Detrei said as she began picking a king from all the hill lords after she had grouped them into a sets of seven. With this new system in place and order restored the people once again returned to prosperity greater than with the time of the Lord's that came before the time of kings was upon them.

The time of kings was greater because the might of the Lord's was united under a single figure their respective kings moving to bring prosperity to the entirety of their kingdoms. This shared direction on such a scale that had never been seen before brought with a sense of community as the different kingdom competited to be the most prosperous during this age of abundance.

This age went on for decades until a new being came upon the land. He was a giant of ten feet made of spiked bone with eye's of a black void. This new being wondered the land gathering the dead and burying them in special crypts that just seem to appear after the creature had first appeared itself. Having no idea how how to deal with this creature they went to Detrei for answers.

" Creators there is a strange new being wondering allyssa and scaring the people. how do I destroy it." Detrei asked in a curt manner seeming to hold back a furious roar.

" Well then I take it you met Hargal then." Robert said a bit surprised at Detrei rather hostile response to Hargal existence. Well knowing they'll fight at a later date for now though Detrei shouldn't have any reason to be hostile towards Hargal.

" Yes I have met this new being which I guess you have named Hargal Creator now how do I go about destroying it." Detrei asked again.

" Well simple you won't. Hargal is your younger brother the god of burials and is right now merely doing his duty of making sure everything is properly buried in his crypts " Robert answered trying to explain that Hargal wasn't a threat to her at least for now and is just trying to do his job.

" I understand creater and will let Hargal continue on with his duties." Detrei said in a curt manner before informing her people on who and what this new being was. The people were not exactly thrilled to learn of Hargal but they learned to ignore him as they went about they're lives. At least until the arguing started between the two gods.

" Well those two have been really going at it lately you think I should something Simon." Robert asked confused and ancy about the whole situation feeling like he should step in but knowing that two eventually going to war with each other made him hesitate.

" No my good contestant the two are just getting to their part in our little play. Your just sad it's not a happy one which is admirable but remember if this plays right the Allyssa game will bring a lot of good to a lot if worlds." Simon said trying to console Robert while reminding them of their original purpose of doing this in the first place.

" Your right Simon, your right how I wish you weren't." Robert said sadness filling his voice at the thought at what where effectively his two children fighting each other in an eternal war once the game truly started.

The two went back to watching as things escalated to Hargal rising undead from crypts to lay waste to Detrei's kingdoms. This in turned caused Detrei to combine the surviving kingdoms into to a few empires under kings who had proven themselves capable warriors in a few skirmishes and so were made emperor's.

The emperor's were able to create armies who used mainly sythes that would been harvesting otherwise. They were able to hold their hill fortresses but they needed more to deal with Hargal undead threat and so Detrei was once asked to help perhaps for a final time.

" Creator I need aid to push back Hargal's forces from my people lands. Would you please aid me " Detrei asked knowing not to ask for him to stop Hargal personaly for the creator was neutral in this war. But she was hoping for something to end this endless siege that her people would eventually lose.

" I will connect Allyssa with another world one that know war. Who's people will be able to help you wage it in your name but you must be the one to convince them" Robert said before connecting allyssa to the world of wonders and the mad. Robert then helped her make a quick gaming add for allyssa and told her how she be able to help players fight Hargal before sending the add to gaming website along with the link to begin sending players to allyssa.

After Robert had done everything he said he would do Detrei went back to her people into the heart of one of her strongest empires. She went to the capital church her most holy place of worship and went into a secret room in the bottom of the floor. There was an idol of a beast made of red material with 6 talons on each lambs and red Ruby's for eyes that seemed somehow filled with blood lust. " One day creator one day." Detrei said as she gently stroked the statue.
