About The Author
PROLOGUE: A STORY TOLD
I
t was believed three gods had created the lands: valleys, mountainsides, hills, deserts, lakes, rivers, and living creatures. It was believed two of the gods took shape of human deities: one a man and the other a woman. While the third assumed the form of a great winged, four-legged dragon to balance out the male god and the female goddess. The female goddess was called Adelpha, Goddess of life, beauty, wisdom, and purity; and the male god was called Origenes, God of death, ugliness, hatred, and ignorance. The dragon god never took a name, since it was believed not to have a gender. Its entire purpose simply to keep Adelpha and Origenes in balance and under control at all times. The dragon god was believed to be made of glowing, precious crystals and was dubbed the Crystal Dragon.
It was these three that created long ancient, forgotten lands with creatures that once desired long life and immortality: the Titans, the first living creatures in ancient forgotten lands in an age known as the First Generation of Living Life. The Titans, which were gigantic creatures that took many forms and lived in mountains or waters, were the first creations of the three gods to roam a long, forgotten land.
The Titans were ruled freely and wondrously at first. Adjusting to the light they were made beneath and the air they breathed in, the Titans’ curiosity for life made them wonder what the future was holding for them and they grew a desire to build a foundation for future generations to thrive.
However, little did they know why they were created or understand what their purpose in life was. So they turned to the gods for help and the three gods helped them grow to understand what the meaning of life was.
It was the gods’ giving knowledge that suddenly changed the Titans’ understanding of life and they learned to desire something even greater: immortality. The Titans wanted to become powerful gods themselves. The Titans also wanted unlimited amounts of power and knowledge. The Titans wanted to play at being gods and make other creations of their design.
The gods saw this as a great nuisance and refused the Titans to have such power and knowledge that would only lead to certain destruction. The gods made the Titans live their lives as mortals and to learn to understand what everything around them was.
The Titans were outraged by this news and rebelled against the gods. Hundreds of Titans fought against the gods and many were easily cast down. The created rebelled against the creators, the deities that gave Titans mortal life but not the reasoning to understand how to live.
For centuries of torment and raging, the Titans and the gods have fought hard and long. The end of the war between the Titans and the gods meant the end of the First Generation of Life. The gods saw there was no hope for the Titans and decided to cast them down.
The gods sent down an asteroid to the lands the Titans were living upon and destroyed what they had made. But instead of killing their own creations they considered to be their children, they imprisoned them; the asteroid submerged into the seas and drowned the entirety of the lands and the Titans.
After the asteroid came crashing down upon the Titans and their earthly home, the gods created an impenetrable barrier around the Titans, cursing them to be forever imprisoned in a great, dark abyss of the plundering oceans.
After the destruction of the First Generation, its lands, and the imprisonment of the Titans, a new age came into creation: the Second Generation of Living Life, but with the new age came a new disastrous threat.
At first, there was the light of the sun brightening many valleys, mountains, and roaming hills bathed in plants and trees of vibrant greens. Animals and people roamed around the lands freely and many more creatures of myth joined the people and animals.
