Iris, one of the daughters of the Great Creator woke with a start. She had a terrible premonition of what may be coming. Suddenly, her door was opened.

"Cousin Lucambris!" She exclaimed while she watched as her friend, the God of light, son of the Grand Healer, come into the room.

"What is happening?" She inquired. His hands were trembling and his face pale, he had no idea how to tell Iris what had happened.

"Aurelia..." He started.

"What? Has something happened to Aurelia?" She pressed on for information.

"She.... She was killed." He said. Iris was stunned by the news.

"Is... Is this true?" She asked.

"Yes... She has been murdered by an unknown enemy."

"Who?! Who killed her?!" Iris screamed. She wanted to avenge her best friend's, who was also her priestess, death.

"Quiet down! You know as well as I do that us gods are not omniscient. We have no idea who has killed her, but we will definitely find the murderer soon. We can't have someone going around killing our priests." He said while shaking his head.

"Maybe... Maybe we can ask Uncle Malivus to help us. He is the most powerful God after all, he probably knows something about Aurelia's death."

"If you say so, Uncle Malivus doesn't meddle much with our affairs. But since it's you, he might just agree." Iris was the favorite relative of Malivus, the God of Destruction.

10 minutes later

" Uncle! Uncle!" Iris shouted while knocking on the door of a shabby cottage in the middle of a dense forest.

"Jeez, can't you let your Uncle sleep? What's wrong?" Malivus said as he noticed Iris's face.

"Someone has killed Aurelia, can you help us find the culprit?"

"Aurelia?" Malivus's face darkened. Aurelia was a nice and kind girl, who would want to kill her? " Alight, give me a few minutes to pack my stuff." Suddenly, an explosion was heard.

"What was that?" Iris was confused what could be happening in the God's realm. It was illegal to fight here, gods had to go into the mortal world if they wanted to duel.

"I'll go check it out." Malivus instantly teleported to where the explosion had been. He saw a huge magic circle and mumbled, "what could this be?"

He touched the magic circle and then everything went black.
