One: The Big Collide
The world of Orlandia was in chaos. The continents had collided, causing massive destruction and loss of life. The survivors were left to pick up the pieces and rebuild in the aftermath of the catastrophic event. But they were not alone. The gods and goddesses of old had also been affected by the collision, and they too were struggling to adapt to the new world.
Ghoti, the goddess of the waters, had lost much of her power as the oceans were thrown into turmoil. Kiora, the goddess of the marsh lands and swamps, found her domains submerged and her followers struggling to survive. Zakellius, the god of War and strategy, had been thrown into darkness and was now forced to fight a different kind of battle.
Ambrose, the god of afterlife transition, had his work cut out for him as the souls of the dead were being sent to him in droves. Sweatzley, the goddess of harvest, liberty, prosperity, and freedom, saw her followers struggling to find food and shelter in the new world. Broolyk, the goddess of law and judgement of life and afterlife, had to adapt her laws to fit the new world.
Indiigo, the god of regulation and protection, found himself struggling to protect the survivors from the dangers of the new world. Hormet, the god of trade and communication, had to find new ways to connect the survivors and help them rebuild. Hornel, the god of balance in conflict, was forced to take on a leadership role among the gods and goddesses, trying to find a way for all of them to coexist in the new world.
The gods and goddesses knew that they had to work together if they were going to help the survivors of Orlandia rebuild and thrive in the new world. They knew that it would not be easy, but they were determined to succeed.
Two: The Terrible 7
Terrible 7, a group of powerful and ruthless warlords, set out on a mission to eradicate certain races that they deemed inferior. They targeted half-breeds and pure races that they did not respect, including half elves, orcs, half orcs, hobgoblins, kobolds, and yuan-tis. These races, fearing for their lives, fled to the Holy City, a place of sanctuary and protection.

King Nasta, the ruler of the Holy City, had always been a champion of justice and equality. When he heard of the Terrible 7's campaign of genocide, he knew that he had to act. He opened the gates of the Holy City to all those who sought refuge and promised to protect them with his massive army.
The races that were targeted by the Terrible 7 were grateful for the sanctuary offered by King Nasta and his kingdom. They knew that they were safe in the Holy City and that they would be able to rebuild their lives there. However, they also knew that they could not stay in hiding forever. They needed to find a way to stop the Terrible 7 and put an end to their reign of terror.
King Nasta knew that the Terrible 7 were a formidable enemy, but he was determined to protect his people and defend the Holy City. He began to gather his armies and prepare for war. He knew that it would not be easy, but he was ready for the fight.
The races that sought refuge in the Holy City knew that they had to do their part as well. They began to train and prepare for battle, knowing that they would have to fight alongside King Nasta and his armies if they were going to defeat the Terrible 7.
As the two sides prepared for war, tensions rose, and the fate of the races targeted by the Terrible 7 hung in the balance. King Nasta and his allies temporarily put a stop the Terrible 7 to their campaign of genocide. Nasta wanted to eradicate the Terrible 7 and gathered a group to complete his mission.
Nasta to his advisors “You know I would go out and complete this mission myself 10 years ago, but now I don’t think I can. I must find the best of the best to help and pay them in a life of no more worries. What do we know as of now?”
Advisor Yumania “We know they are hurt and going back to heal but according to our scouts, they are not together meaning their gems are not together. This, in the past, has proven they are weaker, and this would be the time to get6 a group to move on with this mission. Now, who would you like to hire?”
Advisor Sheecha “The Black Hoods?”
Advisor Gunni “The Slayers of Tomorrow?”
Advisor Yumania “The Quiet Boom?”
Nasta “No, a new group of individuals that have the skills to get this done. Yumania I will give you the names and you shall fetch them for me.”
Advisor Yumania “Absolutely, sir. The sooner the better, I shall have them here tomorrow morning.”
Nasta “They will be going through the test.”
“Absolutely Sir, Thank you, Holy One.”
In unison (other advisors) “Thank you, Holy One.”
