Aressa worked on hard on mastering the powers that she had obtained from the destruction of her timeline, but every use of knowledge and power caused her heart to hurt. The fact that all this power came from the death of all she held dear as well as the loss of trillions of lives. “At least they live on through me, even though I cannot fulfill their dreams with all of our worlds being destroyed I will make sure that so long as I live they will not be forgotten,” As Aressa said this to herself she looked down on the world she had created. It was teeming with abundant life, from small insects all the way up to the mighty dragons and multiple species in-between. The humans of this world as usual were divided in their purpose always warring with each other as well as the other intelligent species on the planet. However with the planet’s size there was plenty of room for expansion and finding new territory to either claim for oneself or for one’s lord, king, or emperor. The giants and the dwarves occasionally fought each other but for the most part lived in peace most often warring with the humans as an alliance if they were attacked.
The merfolk were not hostile to anybody despite having the capabilities to do so easily. They offered their services as guards to all races and nations without prejudice on the rivers, lakes, and oceans that were abundant on the surface. Meanwhile the beast-kin had the largest spread in territories from the plains to the mountains to the forests. The demi-human species such as ogres, trolls, and goblins were definitely threats as well as some of the other races. In the secluded parts of the planet there were high level undead that had built civilizations that rivalled that of the humans. Last but not least were the dragons in all their species from Frost Dragons living on the cold mountain peaks and in the frozen south in large colonies. The Earth Dragons living in the mountain ranges at lower heights and moving around the massive plains in large herds. Then you had the Flood Dragons living on the shores of rivers oceans and lakes where floods were common. Water Dragons commonly found in large bodies of water sometime as family groups. The prideful Fire Dragons that lived on volcanoes with their mates. The Sand Dragons that lived in the Desert of the North as well as others. The ruling classes of the dragons were the Metallic Dragons and Astral Dragons. The Metallic Dragons were known for their brutal melee capabilities and the Astrals for their Mastery of Magic. The ruling pair of dragons were always of a Metallic and Astral. Of course the ranks of the Metallic dragons were based on precious metals while the ranks of Astrals were based on Astral bodies. As such the Dragon Emperor and Dragon Empress must be Platinum ranked if a Metallic Dragon or Nova ranked if an Astral.
Aressa loved the tenacity of the races that lived on the planet she had created, they lived laughed and loved as deeply as any humans that she had known or seen in her previous life. And it was because of this that she was grateful to the Mother Goddess for the gift she had given her. The ability to form an avatar so that she could mingle with the races that lived on the planet she had created would allow her to once again form attachments and friendships.
This was something she greatly desired so she went about creating her avatar with great hope, though she knew that it could not deviate from the form that she had by a large amount. So she set the height at 6’ 4” with a lithe sporty body with long sapphire black hair, stormy grey eyes and defined muscles that were not bulky. Basically the avatar looked exactly like she did when she was still mortal in every way shape and form. She didn’t change the size of the chest because she didn’t feel the need to do so because she was comfortable with how she looked. She just didn’t appreciate the fact that some of her family members had made fun of the fact that she wasn’t as statuesque as them despite being better in martial arts. To Aressa, being able to do well in martial arts was better than being a good looking wallflower. Looking pretty but being unable to defend yourself was the height of sheer stupidity in her mind, which is why she practiced her Spear Arts diligently.
After looking over her avatar multiple times to make sure nothing was wrong, she decided to set a random point of appearance on the world below. She knew that this might not be a good idea but her joy of mischief had caught hold of her once again so she also set a few other things to be random while she was at it. The one thing Aressa enjoyed the most was causing mischief, that was a fact. Martial Arts were the only thing she took seriously, well that and her studies. Other than that if she had the chance to cause mischief she’d take it with great glee, which you wouldn’t expect from her normally serious exterior. Now that everything was set to her satisfaction she placed her consciousness into the avatar and started the process of avatar incarnation.

Her mind started to go black which was not part of the normal process according to the knowledge she had received from the Mother Goddess she knew instinctively that the settings she had chosen were just what she had wanted. Just before her mind went completely black she thought to her herself “From the looks of the situation, this should be a hell of a lot of fucking fun!!!”
As her avatar incarnation was going haywire notifications that her powers as a goddess were restricted, knowledge that she had was restricted, contact with other deities was restricted, and last but not least the part of her immortality that kept her from being killed was locked. Unfortunately for Aressa she would not get these notifications till she incarnated on the planet many years later.
At the same that Aressa’s Avatar was going crazy, the Dragon Empress Esviara Asuos was going through the most difficult egg laying in her 7000 years of life. As her husband, mate and love of her life, the Dragon Emperor Serion Veratu watched her anxiously he asked “ Is there anything I can do Vi? I don’t like seeing you in so much pain. I mean it hasn’t been this difficult before right?” Esviara replied “ I’m fine dear, it’s just a bit more difficult than usual though not by much. I’m a Metallic Dragon and you know our bodies can handle more physical stress than any species, just as you Astrals can handle the most Magical stress of any species. Blessed be Aressa in all her glory for that fact.” Serion automatically replied, “ Blessed be the Goddess” and then continued, “ She is the Creator of this world and our Patron Deity, she has given us great gifts, but some of the humans are slowly turning away from Her and the other deities. It’s alarming that they would do so, but Aressa left behind the Message, “” When My spirit needed, Call will Be Heeded. By one of the Descended, will the World be defended.”” She has given us a hope should this world, Rayehk, ever be in peril.” Esviara at this moment gave a loud growl and said, “ The egg is almost out!! Thank goodness, hold on dear give me a minute.” She then cast magic to ease the pain and to ensure the safety of the egg so that the dragonling would be fine during its incubation.
A short while later when the egg had successfully been laid, Esviara and Serion were looking at it with a puzzled look on their draconic faces, constantly looking at the egg then each other. At this moment Serion ask Esviara, “ Vi what kind of egg is this? It looks like a combination between an Astral egg and a Metallic egg, also it’s a sapphire black color. Platinum Metallic eggs are silver in color and Nova Astral eggs violet in color, what’s going on?” Esviara looked at Serion then the egg and said, “ Rio dear looks like I’m going to have to use the egg status to find out, link minds with me.” As Serion linked minds with her, something only possible between soulmates, she said, “Egg Status open! What appeared in their minds was this,
Species Dragon Egg Gender Male Parents Mother: Metallic Dragon Empress Esviara Asuos Father: Astral Dragon Emperor Serion Veratu Further Notices This Dragon Egg contains the offspring of the Dragon Emperor and Dragon Empress, due to circumstances involving the Creation Goddess ceasing contact with everyone the egg contains a message about Aressa changing the parameters of every race so they have the possibility of giving birth to children able to wield magic and martial arts. Boys born with these abilities will most often be known as Knight Mages if their abilities are more physically focused, if their abilities are more magically focused then they will be Magic Knights. This will be slightly different for females as they will more often be born as Magic Knights instead of Knight Mages. Due to her love for the Dragons the Goddess Aressa gave the Dragon Emperor and Empress a child with the abilities of a Magic Knight in the year 729 of the Era of Change, 12,729 years after the creation of the Planet Rayehk. All other races will have children born with these capabilities 1,200 years after the birth of the Dragon Prince. The Goddess Aressa will return when the Prince has grown 1,800 years or older.
After Serion and Esviara read this they looked at each other horrified at the thought of the Goddess ceasing all contact. They then looked at the egg that contained the newest member of their family and also contained the promise of the return of the Goddess should he reach the age specified in the message. Esviara turned her head to Serion and said, “ I want to name him Kishi Megami to honor the promise given to us upon his birth.” Serion looked at her then egg and said, “It is a good strong name and I hope he bears it well. We will know in the future how this will turn out, but I know the Goddess will reward us for our faith, because I know many tribes will turn away from the Ancient deities that rule us all at her behest. No matter what we will remain true to her teachings.”
