Chapter 13, Inhabitants of Old Earth
----------------------------------------
...
The three arrived in an open oasis. A wondrous pool of clear water with a multitude of animals dwelling there.
Lokreum set down Shiva, letting him roam the area as the two gods watched, petting the animals that would approach them.
Lokreum inspected his creations while Shiva went around, speaking with them through the Lesser Law of Communication.
Things went on like this for a few hours before Shiva was called over by Lokreum.
"Yes, father?" He asked with a wondering expression.
"Kieron and I will be leaving soon, and I've yet to tell you your purpose."
"You're the first human, a species built to rule." He started.
"A species built to rule their own kind with unity through fairness, and to be tyrannical to those who oppose them." Lokreum said, lifting his hands and conjuring images of despair to the enemies of Shiva.
An image of legions of humans merciless slaughtering their opponents was displayed to the human king before him, a light of conquest shining in his mortal eyes.
"You have wondrous abilities as the first, and I hope you use them well." The images dispersed, another forming in the air.
"I need you to cultivate this sector of the Reality. Fill it with your children, guide the evolution of intelligent beings. Terraform worlds, spread word of my existence to any other intelligence within this vast cosmos." The picture of Shiva conquering planets, and helping the not-so fortunate lifeforms appeared.
"You will create your own legacy and pass it down through your bloodline. You will live a meaningful life, and I expect you to have no regrets." Lokreum's voice was commanding, and the Almighty tone present in his voice lit a fire in Shiva's heart.
"Live life to the fullest!" Lokreum said, standing up and towering over Shiva.
The flame of Power was ignited within Shiva's origin, and instantly, half of his essence was condensed into a vast Galaxy within himself.
"Use the power I invested upon you, to go far." Lokreum commanded.
His hand moved, and Shiva was lifted off the ground, raising up to Lokreum's eye level.
"I'll help you just a little more, to get started on this journey of yours."
Lokreum's finger tapped onto the forehead of Shiva, his consciousness almost failing him, as he watched multiple drops of blood be pulled from his body.
The drops of blood then slowly traveled to a flower not too far away.
It landed on the plant, and slowly seeped into it's leaves as Lokreum's hand raised up to the sun.
The trees parted and sunlight shone on the lone white flower, making it grow at an incredible pace.
It grew and budded a small blob of flesh. It rose, and transformed into a pale skinned woman with white hair to match. She had pure blue eyes with curves to her body that would make any man quiver.
Her long platinum hair was brushed out of her face, as her emotionless face was shown to the three existences.
Seeing the successful creation, Lokreum's mouth uttered few words.
"I dub you male and female, husband and wife, the first two humans." Lokreum said, Kieron fading away into light as the words were muttered.
"Shiva, and Citemer." Lokreum finished, a small, barely comprehensible smile forming on his face as he too disappeared from their sight.
"..."

...
Citemer moved on quickly, it was clear she understood what had happened, though Shiva was still momentarily stuck in the past.
But, time waited for none.
"H-Hello..." Shiva said to the woman behind him.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
"So you're aware.. we will have to procreate, and things that are alike..." He said nervously, rubbing the back of his head as he faced away from Citemer.
Citemer was currently bathing in the water, surrounded by dozens of fish and small animals.
"I am aware." She responded, not paying Shiva much mind.
"So, I will have to see you unclothed eventually..." Despite him not displaying much emotion either, one could feel the nervousness behind his tone, and even see it in his eyes.
Citemer stopped all her movements and turned towards the boy.
"Did I ever say you had to turn away?" She pondered.
"W-What?..."
...
----------------------------------------
...
Lokreum who was watching the whole ordeal had to avert his gaze as he wasn't very interested in watching two of his children bathe together.
"I'd be more interested in creating rather special entities..." He whispered to himself, traveling across the vast planet in an instant.
"Considering Kieron went to observe Seiya and the Eldrids, I'll be on my own for a while." He whispered under his breath, arriving in a completely random plain, surrounded by mountains.
He dropped down to the ground.
"Titans." He said.
His hand aimed itself towards the largest mountain and he spoke. "[Earthen Primordial, Titan of Nature, Colossus]!"
With this chant, the mountains rumbled, leaving their locations that was believed to be set it stone. They rose, creating earth quakes all throughout the valley.
The mountains stood up, towering over any other existences within hundreds of miles. A red eye formed, the gigantic creature of stone and vegetation looking down towards its creator.
A multitude of law essences emanated off the creature, Life, Nature, and Communication being only some of them.
"That's one..." Lokreum said turning away from the living mountain.
He lifted a singular palm to the sky and as he did so, ice started flowing out of it.
An iceberg larger than any human could have seen before, hovered next to the mossy titan.
"[Frost Giant, Titan of Cold, Kyrus]."
The iceberg burst to life with the essences of Frost, Water, and Chaos among many others.
Different from how Colossus transformed, Kyrus materialized foreign objects.
A large humanoid, covered in barbaric armor and a misty aura was pulled into existence.
Not even waiting, Lokreum immediately moved on and created an orb of darkness in his palms.
"Hup."
He tossed it into the sky, far away from the three beings.
"[Burst]." He spoke, the orb exploding into the essences of Finality, Death, Apocalypse and Darkness covering the sky above them.
"[Nightmaric God, Titan of Death, Lucius]." The black cloud started to change shape and formed another being, one straight out of dreams.
Well, one straight out of nightmares would be more appropriate…
It was a lengthy humanoid creature that had an animal skull for its head, horns poking out of its skull, and black and grey bones with cracks running along them.
Ignoring the monstrosity he had just created, Lokreum turned towards the ground and accessed a dimension he created while wondering the Inbetween.
"[Rupture]."
With those words, the ground cracked, the essences of Fire, Destruction, Chaos, and The Ruler soaking the air.
"[Hell Lord, Titan of Flame, Baal]."
A red skinned, fiery, draconic humanoid rose from the depths of hell.
It stood up fully and looked down towards its creating, the rupture in the ground repairing itself.
"[Connect]." Lokreum said, binding hell with both the titan and world.
He swiftly moved on.
A finger was raised and pointed at the sky. Dark, thunderous clouds slowly formed, lightning striking multiple different locations.
"[Storm King, Titan of Weather, Solomon]."
*BOOM*
Lightning struck, all the purple and black clouds funneling into a single location, leaving behind a misty figure.
A gigantic, ethereal, living human storm.
"And the final one, for now..." Lokreum started.
He let his hands rest by his side as he started growing.
His body enlarged until it reached a height just taller than all of the other titans, which was approximately 1000 meters.
After reaching the ideal height, he raised his hands to the sky.
Tapping into the huge storage of essences within the sun, he manipulated the absolutely massive star in the center of Old Earths solar system.
Each of the Titans created so far were easily Monarchial Beings, capable of heavily damaging planets.
Though just in case, mainly because he didn't feel like protecting Earth if needed, he was going to create a incredibly powerful titan.
"[World Warden, Titan of Sun, Solaris]!" He yelled, stealing every last bit of essence from the Sun, and using it to create a being with the help of his very own essence.
For a few moments, the sky went dark because of the absence of the sun, but Lokreum quickly restored it before looking at the newest Titan.
It was the most humanoid of them all, even going to the point of having a nicely trimmed haircut.
It's skin was white and it wore a black skirt. It had jewelry around its waist and wrists, with a golden halo over its head that only accentuated its golden glowing eyes even further.
"…" The 6 Titans looked towards their creator in reverence, waiting for his words.
"…You are all the first Titans of Old Earth." Lokreum announced, towering over the creations.
"Your duty is to watch over this world, to protect this old world from any threat, even if it is its very own inhabitants themselves. Eliminate all problems no matter what they are, but make sure there can be salvation." Each of the Titans listened closely.
"I will visit every few million years, so make sure to do well." He said, looking at each and every Titan.
"Father..." Solaris, spoke, making Lokreum focus on him. "What if the world cannot be salvaged, or we are not enough to save it?" He asked.
"..." Lokreum looked him dead in the eyes.
"If that is the future, there will be revelation." He reassured.
"And I can guarantee, I will not be happy." The last line of his invoked fear in most of the Titans, despite Solaris who had a look of understanding.
"Anyways, farewell my children." With these words, he faded from reality, leaving the Titans behind with their thoughts.
"…" It was an eerie silence.
"…I can sense an advanced mortal." Colossus spoke, "I shall go investigate."
