A vast temperate forest filled with trees as high as sky scapers stretched out as far as the eye could see a thin dirt road dividing it, a lone male faelyn with redish brown hair running down it.
Dress in brown pheasant clothes a single leather shoulder gard strapped to his right shoulder, an iron sword sheathed at his left hip.
He runs multiple faelyn, ulvra, haer, and draec chasing him from behind a lone apyn leading them.
Many of the beastkin running on all four only a few on running on thier legs, bronze weapons all sheathed at thier waists on unsheathed in thier hands.
The male faelyn Felix Fang, runs to a stop in the middle of the road, ready to unsheathe his iron sword when his cousin a male dark brown faelyn by the name of Rick Roar, pops out of the left side of the woods next to Felix.
He gesture to Felix and says, "Come on over, lets go."
Felix follows as they quickly pick up the pace to a run.
Felix, "You weren't at the rendevous point, what happened."
Rick, "I know sorry I was just finishing up the last batch, when a messenger came he said The Souless took SouthPaw.
I was just about to come get you when I smelled you and a bunch of other Beastkin headed over here.
Figured you were being chased. You know the rest."
Felix, "But if South Paw's been taken what do we do, there nowhere left, is there?"
Rick, "I know but the messenger said everyone thats left is headed to The Great Moutain, they think Apex will protect us if we settle there."
Felix, "Will he though theres been no sign of him for over 10,000 years, besides all he did besides creating everything was issue a challenge, then fly into the heavens."
Rick, "I don't know but if it means we have a chance we should go, strength in numbers right?
Now come on help me load all these up into the wagon.
We gotta get outta here before they catch up."
Felix ears twitch, "What was that."
Both of thier ears start twitching as they look around their eyes darting back and forth around the forest.
Rick, "Shit, they found us."
Both Felix and rick unsheathe their iron swords from thier waists, as step forward scanning the forest around them, as the slowly move back to back a bit of space between thier backs.
Slowly a single Draec emerges from the shadows of the forest a gleaming bronze saber in his hand.
A Souless sadistic grin on his face not a single light in his seemingly dead eyes.
Shortly aftward more and more souless beastkin emerge from the forests shadows thier bronze weapons drawn gleaming in the sunlight as they inch forward.
Slowly the souless apyn leading them emerges from the shadows, into the sunlight.
A sadistic souless grin on his face to match his dead looking eyes.
Souless Apyn, "Good to see you fellas, I was worried you'd gone and skipped town on us.
But here you are with all these beautiful iron weapons."
The Souless Apyn picked upan iron weapon off the ground, raised his head and took a deep breath through his nose.
Souless Apyn, "Mmmm, fear. Now thats just such a great smell now ain't it boys."
A Crazed hungry grin on his face his mouth open and teeth parted showing off his blood stained fangs, as his group all give a souless monotone laugh.
The Souless Apyns expression frozen in his crazed sadistic soulless grin with his dead eyes stare without any sign of movement in them.
Slowly he approaches Felix and Rick as his group of souless tight their circle around the two Faelyn.
His bronze saber unsheathing a dragging on the ground behing him as he edges forward the iron sword in his right hand slowly lowering to drag against the ground as well.
Felix and Rick know thier no match for this many souless, they only hope they can manage to take down the apyn before he kills them, maybe taking out a leader like him will help weaken the souless's forces.
As if.
Everyone suddenly stops as sky begins to shake with a deep rumbling, that seems to shake thier entire bodies even the inner organs.
The star like fires of the life stream seem to flare as they burn hotter and shine even brighter, as suddenly the shaking grows stronger.
The souless all suddenly fall down as if each hit by a massive boulder from above, before the shaking subsides almost as quickly as it came.
The Souless stand up they're dead eyes now filled with light, their sadistic crazed frozen grins gone.
Many of them begin to weep, before a boomming vioce resounds from the heavens ensaturated with power making them all want to kneel from it's sheer wieght, as the image of APEX appears in thier minds.
APEX, "I made a mistake. I did not account for the demand of new mortal bodies in need of spirits. Instead only existing spirits were sucked up into the Life Stream to be reincarnated while those who were born when no spirits were available went through out life as souless.
The problem has been fixed as I have created a small white star to automatically create spirits and inject a steady stream of them into the life stream as needed.
The souless no longer roam the world, and have been give spirits to inhabit them these beings have inherited all the memories of what their bodies did while they were empty.
Side effects may include crying, or other signs of emotional instablitiy, as these are caused by the memories of things their bodies did without them.
As an apology I have blessed the all the lands with great fertility and wealth of precious materials, all of the inhabitants also now have great fertility of thier lions, also great health as all sicknesses have been healed.
This blessing will last for 1,000 years before no longer being constantly replenished.
I will also be sending down great object of power after the first 300 years.
That is all."

Felix and Rick continued to stare up at the sky in shock, they thought today would be thier last, never did the think APEX would appear after so long.
.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
APEX decided he should go ahead and create Kitsune as a beastkin as the only existing kitsune are on Throne.
APEX, "I really should create something to protect the Spirit Star though don't want anyone accessing them without permission."
First he create small, lean, powerful, highly intellegent intricate golems the size of humans.
He gave the Telekinises tier 1,000, an All Sense, further enhanced strength, Immortality, and Energy Control Mastery 800.
He made sure they had the defualt traits and made 8 of them.
He gave them instructions, basic rules, and told them to always gaurd the star never letting anyone but him or someone he accompanies to them and gives permission in front of them, to get near it or tamper with it.

[You may be wonder about ranks so here is a list from greatest to least]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He then froze time and went above an uninhabtied continent close to the center continent where the beast kin live and unfroze time there.

APEX gave the kitsune a pillar of law and a natural temple he created in thier forested hillscarved out of the hill hardened into stone that would never erode or degrade.
Inside was a tall rectangular prism with The Sigil of APEX carved onto all its sides glowing blue.
Above the pillar was an empty skylight, and around the pillar wasa pool of water that cleansed all bad status effects, and turned any liquid or filth that fell into it into clean sacred water.
He gave the pillar the ability to allow those that touch it to speak directly to him, and recieves his power through it should he permit it.
He made two entrances where the side of the hill not connected to anything was.
From the pool below the pillar he made four pipes flow water from it when it when it is overflowing, the pipes flowed the sacred water into four sacred ponds that grew sacred trees and sacred herbs.
After placing the unconcious kitsune near the temple and waking them up he approached one of them a female, with yellow fur.
They all bowed in his presence.
APEX, "I am APEX The Primordial Godking, I have come to establish the first High Priestess here. The High Preistess will be in charge of the Temple here and be able to turn other into preists, preistesses and shrine maidens.
Powers and Chain of Command will be established by Rank which can be seen in your status screens.
Sacred Powers may be used by those who are given these sacred classess, and passed on by blood.
They may also be stripped away by the High Priestess and Arch Priests.
Charity, Empathy, and Compassion are wut must be exorcised by those of Sacred Classes.
Now Straia I hereby make you High Preistess and Grant you The Mark of High Priestess of APEX.
Serve me well and follow my rules on the pillar of law over there."
Straia, "Yes, Your Majesty, Oh Great APEX."
As she bowed he left, a single sentence resound after he left.
"You May RIse."
When They Rose they saw he was no longer there.
.........................................................................................................
Next He Fast Forwarded The Continent of Kitsune until it reach 10,000 years answering many prayers while he did, and then he unfroze the rest of the world, after stopping the fast forwarding of the kitsune continent.
APEX then got too work crafting artifacts while he fast forwarded Evergarden [The Mortal Plane] by 300 years.
Sparks and Energy falling to Evergarden as he did.
First he crafted The Mystic Scepter cappable of creating any and all supernatural phenomeonon, including magic, limited to Tier 100 though.
The world stopped fast forwarding and APEX threw the Mystic Septer Into a mountain on the continent of Wizards.
The Mortals Watches as it fell down like a shooting star.
[Author Note: Stars don't exist yet they will soon.The Life Stream lights and heats everything.]
Next for the Human he created a The Star Spear it contained all the power that a star would, and would give its master the stats and powers of a star.
He Threw it into a deep gave system on the Human Continent.
The Mortals watched as it fell down like a shooting star, burning the sky in it's wake.
For The Dawrves He created a Hammer capable of smashing mountains and turning ore into ingots, while also able to craft Tier 10 weapons easily.
He threw The Dragon Hammer into a lake outside of a dwarf mountain city.
The Mortals watched as the mountain shaked and the lake boiled.
For The Elves He Crafted The Sky Bow cpable of shooting arrow the a strong as hurricanes, fast as lightning or wind, and rain arrows like a storm, it could also turn the arrows into fire, water, ice, lighting, thunder, earth, flora, or beast.
He dropped it into the forest of the elven continent, on a weary breeze.
The Elven Mortals Felt a disturbance in the natural energies.
For the Orcs He Created The Life Shield capbale of strengthening its masters life force, and all its masters stats by 500.
It could also do the same to those he wished to protect, it could even create rank[High Barrier], and shoot arrows made of yellow light [lasers] from its center.
He threw it like a frisbie into the plains outside a small village.
The Mortals watched as it crash creating a crater that burst into a lake surround by forest spontaneosly.
For The Goblins He Created The All Whip rank [High] it could tame any beast[Rank High and Below. Excluding Divine and Immortals] split apart any spell [Tier 1-100] with a single lash, and split apart any status effect destroying it. [Excluding Divine or Immortal Status Effects]
It could even become a lasso that could catch lightning or a leash.
He dropped it in a cave on the Goblin continent.
Some Goblins where drawn to it.
[In This world Goblins look like green elves, only ever ugly traditional goblins when they are children. Like ugly ducklings they grow up into beatiful swans, ugly goblins grow up into beautiful goblins that looks like green elves.]
For The Beastkin who were close together and already mostly united under the apyn he decided to create one weapon for all of them.
A donut shape piece of metal that had a sphere in the middle fused to it, the enitire thing shing like steel, it had a slip so that it could be put on a belt.
He named it The Leaders Diskus, it was capable of empowering its masters loyal soldiers and subjects, with 5 times thier stats.
It could heal anything, except old age, and it could turn into any Tier 20 tool or weapon.
It also increased the rate at which its master leveled up.
APEX threw it into the side of Acsension Mountain near a maassive temple, in the city of an Apyn King.
APEX made sure that only those who where worthy of these artifact where able to use them and become thier master, and each one could only have master, each master also could only use one artifact.
Each artifact could only be used by their intended race or species.
After Apex created an APEX version of The Leaders Diskus with less features and far more powerful, for himself, he named it The All Circle.
He then left toward Haven to watch everything unfold from his throne, created vast stars spread out above the Life Stream around Throne.
[Author Note: Finally They Have Stars!!!]
