Calm Before The Storm
The sky above the battlefield burned with the crimson glow of a dying sun. The earth, once fertile and teeming with life, now lay shattered, cracked open by the destructive force of the war. The battle between the Chosen Ones—those imbued with the essence of the Three Gods—and the Summoned One, the mysterious, otherworldly being who had come to challenge the darkness—against the corrupted God of Life and Arcane and its twisted followers was reaching its climactic end.
The God of Life and Arcane, once a benevolent and nurturing entity, had succumbed to its insatiable hunger for power. Its corruption seeped into the hearts of all those who still worshiped it, twisting their minds and bodies into monstrous forms. The very nature of life itself had been corrupted. Those once loyal to the God were now mere puppets, their souls consumed by darkness, turning their bodies into grotesque vessels of death. Humans, animals, and even the plants themselves had begun to wither and rot in the presence of the corrupted deity.
The Chosen Ones, standing at the frontlines, were all embodiments of their respective elements, radiant with their divine power. The Elemental Dragons, who had once infused their followers with their essence, now imbued the chosen with unimaginable strength. These beings were not mere mortals anymore; they were walking forces of nature, creatures of creation and destruction.
At the center of it all stood Azrael, the Summoned One. She was a woman of otherworldly beauty and terrifying power, summoned to break the one law of the universe—the deletion of energy into nothingness. As the God of Life and Arcane’s corruption spread like a disease, it was up to her to stop it, and she had no intention of failing.
"Today," Azrael said, her voice as cold and commanding as the void itself, "We will reclaim the world and burn away the corruption that has tainted it."
The air was thick with the tension of impending battle. As the corrupted worshipers charged forward, their once-human faces now twisted into snarls of rage, the Chosen Ones took their positions.
----------------------------------------
The Battle Begins
The Chosen of Fire, a fierce woman with wings made of blazing flame, was the first to strike. Her body rippled with heat as she leaped into the air, her Claymore Of Eternal Flame—slashing through the corrupted ranks. Her flames swept across the battlefield, turning everything they touched into ash. Kaelen, the Chosen of Fire, was a force of nature, her power overwhelming as she danced across the field, each swing of her sword a testament to the destructive beauty of fire.
The Chosen of Wind, with his ethereal, translucent wings, moved with incredible speed. His long, sharp spear sliced through the air, each strike creating shockwaves that tore through the corrupted forces. Veyron, once a quiet scholar, had become a whirlwind of destruction. His mastery over the wind allowed him to shape the battlefield, sending blasts of air to disorient and scatter the enemy, creating openings for his allies to strike.
The Chosen of Water, a tall, silent warrior whose body shimmered like the surface of an ocean, summoned great waves of water to sweep away the enemies in their path. Cailen’s control over the tides was absolute; the water that poured from his hands formed into enormous serpents, crashing down onto the enemy, drowning their cries under the roar of the waves. The water carried with it not just the weight of nature’s fury but the grief of a world dying.
The Chosen of Frost, a lone figure with wings of ice that glittered like crystal in the light, summoned the chill of the world’s deepest winters. Selene, her eyes cold with determination, raised her arms, and from the ground, glaciers erupted, impaling the corrupted followers. Her icy breath turned the air around her into a deadly weapon, freezing everything it touched. The army of corrupted soldiers was no match for her, each of her steps leaving a trail of frost in the air.
The Chosen of Electro, a young man with lightning crackling from his fingertips, unleashed torrents of pure electric energy upon the enemy. His long, jagged electro-staff hummed with the raw power of a storm as it surged with each strike, sending bolts of lightning arcing across the battlefield. Zephyr, the Chosen of Electro, was a tempest made flesh. His control over electricity was flawless, striking down enemies from a distance while his wings, crackling with electrical arcs, allowed him to soar above the battlefield like a living storm.
The Chosen of Mineral, two twin warriors standing side by side, wielded the Half-Claymore of Creation and the Half-Claymore of Manipulation. Darius and Mirael, their bond unbreakable, moved as one, each blade in perfect harmony. The sword of creation shaped the earth beneath them, creating walls of stone, while the sword of manipulation broke down the weapons of their enemies, redirecting the force of blows back at their attackers. The two were a living embodiment of stability, their unwavering power anchored by their twin connection. Together, they were a terror upon the battlefield, their strikes creating shockwaves that altered the very land beneath their feet.
And then, there was The Chosen of Gravity, Aurelius. His gloves, the essence of the God Of Gravity now—the embodiment of universal force. The very air around him bent, as his fists struck with the force of black holes. He crushed anything that came into his path, turning the battlefield into a chaotic mess of twisting gravity. His mastery over the force of gravity allowed him to manipulate the battlefield with terrifying precision—pulling enemies into crushing gravity wells or flinging them across the field with a flick of his wrist.
As the battle raged on, the God of Life and Arcane appeared above the fray, a massive, corrupted form of a once-beautiful being. Its body pulsed with the energy of countless souls, all devoured in its quest for power. It raised a single hand and the corrupted legions, now completely under its control, surged forward.

But Azrael, the Summoned One, would not allow the God to go unchecked. She stepped forward, her aura spreading like a vast black hole, swallowing the light around her. Her eyes glowed with an unnatural, otherworldly fire as she began to summon the powers of complete erasure—the ability to remove existence itself.
"Your time is up," Azrael whispered.
With a violent scream, Azrael manifested a long sword of pure energy, an extension of her will and the power to erase all that stood in her path. The blade shimmered with an impossible energy, its edge reflecting the very void of non-existence. As she swung it forward, the blade tore through space itself, unraveling the God of Life and Arcane and its corrupted minions in a single, decisive strike.
----------------------------------------
The Final Push
The ground shook beneath their feet as the God of Life and Arcane summoned the last remnants of its strength. It began to tear open rifts in reality itself, pulling forth the souls of the fallen and transforming them into monstrous abominations.
It was then that The Chosen Ones realized that this was no longer just a fight for victory; it was a fight for the survival of everything they knew. They fought not only for the living but for the souls of those who had already perished, hoping to free them from the God’s twisted influence.
Azrael, her body burning with energy, turned to face the Corrupted God, her hand outstretched. "I will erase you from existence," she said, her voice cold and final.
And with that, the world was torn asunder in a clash of divine powers, the light and darkness fighting until there was nothing left to fight for.
----------------------------------------
This epic confrontation would leave the characters forever changed. The echoes of this battle would resonate throughout the world, marking the beginning of a new era—or the end of everything.
----------------------------------------
The Final Blow
Amidst the rubble of a world torn asunder, Azrael faced the corrupted God of Life and Arcane with the unwavering poise of the summoned savior. Her longsword, a manifestation of her power to erase, pulsed in her grip, radiating a light that defied the corrupted darkness enveloping the battlefield. Her every step left a trail of searing energy, each one bringing her closer to the god who had twisted so much of creation to serve its own madness.
The god staggered back, its corrupted essence barely holding form as Azrael’s power seared through its being. But as her sword pierced its heart, a faint shadow rippled outward, almost unnoticeable—a slight shiver of power that lingered in the air before dissipating into nothingness, unnoticed by the exhausted warriors standing in solemn victory. With a final echoing scream, the god crumbled into the dust, its fractured essence seemingly erased, leaving silence in its wake.
The Pact of Division
The battlefield stilled as the chosen ones gathered around, their expressions somber and uncertain. They had won, but each of them carried the weight of what they had witnessed, of the horrors their fellow gods’ powers were capable of unleashing. The scent of burned earth and broken lives hung in the air, a reminder that each god’s influence, even in its purest form, carried its own dangers.
Azrael, looking upon each of the chosen ones, felt the mistrust brewing. She knew this victory, as grand as it was, did not heal the scars it had left on the world. The others sensed it too, exchanging glances that wavered between respect and fear.
A decision, though difficult, was inevitable.
To preserve the peace they had fought for, each group would live separately, in isolation from the others, to avoid the seeds of discrimination and fear that could so easily ignite in the aftermath of such a conflict. Worshippers of the God of Elements would found their own empire, those of the God of Mineral another, and so on—each worshipper would dwell under their chosen god’s rule, free from the scrutiny and judgment of those who could never fully understand their nature.
And for the people of the God of Life and Arcane, shame weighed heavily upon them. They chose to retreat from all others, severing ties as a penance for the devastation their god had caused. They would exist in solitude, disconnected from the world, carrying the memory of the god’s corruption as both a burden and a reminder.
The Passage of Time
The years stretched on, and as centuries passed, each society flourished, adapting and evolving in its own way. Over time, technology intertwined with the powers of each god, leading to new heights of mastery and culture, each unique in its own respect. But in the quiet of each generation, whispers of the ancient battle lived on, tales of the corrupted god woven into the histories of each empire.

Azrael's Awakening: The Burden of Truth
Azrael stood at the precipice, her eyes scanning the aftermath of the war—the fallen gods, the broken weapons, and the shattered world. The God of Life and Arcane was defeated, yet nothing felt victorious. The peace she had once longed for, the restoration of balance, seemed like an illusion. She had hope for purity, a world of order and light. But the truth was far more complicated, darker than any of her cold convictions had prepared her for.
In the days that followed the battle, Azrael ventured into human settlements, once teeming with life and hope. What she saw chilled her to the core. People, like leaves in the wind, moved in a cycle of endless suffering. Greed, envy, manipulation—these were the currencies of the world. The ideals she had fought for, the purity she believed in, were nothing but shattered remnants of a false dream.
She wandered the streets, a silent observer, hidden in the shadows. The villagers, who once believed in the gods' will, now turned on one another. Families bickered over land, power, and scraps. Allies became enemies in the blink of an eye. The very essence of life—the purity she had once believed existed in all people—was consumed by the darkness within their hearts. No one was exempt from this inner corruption, not even those she had considered innocent.
Then, the true blow came: her own bloodline, the very descendants of the divine she had sought to protect, were not immune to this depravity. Azrael watched as they, too, crumbled under the weight of greed and power. Her kin, those who carried the divine spark, were no better than the rest. They fell victim to envy, their minds poisoned with ambitions that shattered them from within. Their lives, once filled with divine purpose, ended in misery and madness.
In one particularly haunting scene, Azrael saw a relative she had once admired, now a hollow shell of themselves. Driven by jealousy and a hunger for more power, they turned against their own. The blood that had once been sacred now seemed tainted, the inheritance of her god reduced to a tragic, insatiable thirst for dominance.
She saw the final moments—their eyes wide with regret, their bodies ravaged by the consequences of their own actions. They died in a frenzy of confusion, their minds spiraling into insanity as they realized too late that what they had fought for had destroyed them.
It was in these moments of chaos and collapse that Azrael understood. The world, humanity, and even her bloodline were inherently flawed. The very foundations of the ideals she had once believed in had been built on the assumption that people could be saved, that purity could be restored. But she now saw that these ideals had been an illusion—a lie woven by the gods themselves.
Azrael turned away from the wreckage, her heart heavy with the weight of truth. She would no longer walk among the people she had once sought to save. The world was not a place of redemption, but one where cycles of greed and corruption would continue, no matter how many gods fell. There was no purity to be found, only the endless struggle for power and survival.
She retreated into the solitude of her own mind, choosing to remain aloof from society. Her true identity, the purpose she had once believed in, became a shadow. There was no place for her in this world—no place for gods or heroes, only the endless dance of despair. And in that silence, she chose to fade away, leaving behind the empty promises of a world that would never change.
Now, 2200 years later, the respective empires stood tall and advanced, each reflecting the essence of their god. Yet, unknown to them, that faint shadow—the last trace of the God of Life and Arcane—remained, dormant and lingering, a quiet fragment of an ancient threat awaiting its moment.
