Two wings sprung out from the fog as did two legs. A small tail whipped from overhead and a long neck broke from the top. Lusìvar’s dragon form hatched from a self-making egg, his once humanlike form transformed into a monstrous dragon beast.

Two rival dragons were competing over the life roaming around in chains.

“Now you see, Crystal Dragon,” said Lusìvar, in his new form, “my time had come and your time had ended. The age of gods is over, and the time of new gods had come. There is nothing you can do but fight to be cast aside.”

Lusìvar’s dragon form lunged for the Crystal Dragon first. The terrible Spirit grabbed the Crystal Dragon’s godly body and heaved its wings around the god. “Try to get out of this,” said Lusìvar.

The Crystal Dragon smiled at his opponent and glowed brightly like the sun in the sky, turning into a cloud form of its own. The Crystal Dragon’s fog-like body evaporated around Lusìvar’s dragon form and moved around the evil Spirit, taking hold of his back and trapping his wings. Then the Crystal Dragon turned back into his dragon form and used his four legs to hold Lusìvar in place. Once again, the Crystal Dragon was proving gods were more powerful than their creations.

“You underestimate the power of us gods,” said the Crystal Dragon. “You will learn that our creations are not meant to be gods, like the Titans that considered themselves to be gods. Now, it is time for you to be removed from this land and cast even further than where the Titans are imprisoned.”

In one deep breath, the Crystal Dragon hurled a cosmic laser beam from its mouth. His breathing power wreathed down on the dark spirit, disembodying the enemy.

Lusìvar’s face was struck to the ground, unable to see the power flowing over his back, but very capable of feeling it. It was a great pain erupting through him like a giant needle being hammered into his physical body.

In a matter of seconds, the Crystal Dragon unleashed his godly fury upon the dark spirit, disintegrating Lusivar entirely. “You rose from nowhere,” said the Crystal Dragon. “Now you descend into the solid coil of darkness, never to find the Light again!”

The Crystal Dragon’s energy beam grew larger and the dark spirit ceased to exist in the physical world, or so was thought until Lusìvar’s spirit appeared from his destroyed body. “You think you have won?” shouted Lusìvar’s disembodied voice. “I will rise again, and when I rise again, I will rule everything! Since gods cannot interfere with the mortals, I will have divine influence in the realm of the mortals.”

“But in the meantime, BEGONE!”

The Crystal Dragon whipped his tail and Lusìvar’s spirit dispersed from the realm of mortals and into nothingness. Pangaea was freed from a tyrannical spirit and the living creatures could live once again without anything controlling them or binding them in heavy chains again.

After the great battle that was believed to have taken thousands of years to fight, the Crystal Dragon went back to the high heavens: the Realm of the Gods. In the Realm of the Gods, there was a single platform with large pillars circulating around a giant glass globe. Clouds rained overhead and fogged the platform, making it a living room style place for the Crystal Dragon to watch and see what happened in the Mortal Realm.

There the Crystal Dragon was joined by the two other gods, the goddess Adelpha and the god Origenes.

Origenes had the form of a horrifying male human: long black hair, black beard, and a thin mustache on a pale face with black eyes. He wore a black robe and had black feathered wings. He held a long, black, spiked staff with a large black-tinted ruby at the top. Origenes was the embodiment of Shadow, which was reflected by his physical form.

Adelpha had the form of a beautiful female human with long white hair. She had a pale face with white eyes and she wore a white robe. White feathered wings shifted gracefully behind her as she held a long, white staff with a blue sapphire on the top. Adelpha was the embodiment of Light.

While Adelpha and Origenes were opposites, the Crystal Dragon had kept them from fighting and under a perfect balance. It was the Crystal Dragon’s duty to make sure Adelpha and Origenes didn’t ruin what they created in the Realm of the Gods as Lusìvar and the Titans did in the Mortal Realm. The Crystal Dragon kept them at a distance like parents keeping their children from hurting each other, and kept watching what was going on in the Mortal Realm.

The Three Gods looked through the glass globe and they saw the horror inflicted on the freed races that were once bound in heavy chains and enslaved for centuries. They had seen light returning to the mortal realm and life blooming once again, but the inhabitants still remained frightful of the experience they were put through.

“What are we to do now?” asked a worried Adelpha

“I’ll tell you what we’ll do, Goddess of Life,” said Origenes, “we end all life in the Mortal Realm, bring an age of nothingness, and start over, remaining in control of a new Mortal Realm. Otherwise, new chaos will begin and we will have wars all over again.”

“Are you mad, Origenes? We can’t control what we created. We cannot make the same mistakes Lusìvar and the Titans have made.” Adelpha protested.

Origenes scoffed, “That’s because we have them set free; let them do what they want in the domain of witless mortals. They will never understand the concept of life we have given them. As the God of Darkness and Death, I say we destroy and create anew.”

“I will not allow my dark rival to destroy what all three of us created. As the Goddess of Life, I will not allow the Mortal Realm to be destroyed. Life must be preserved and allowed
