However, Celestreá la Mùne’s daughter did not have the same godly power as her demigod brother. Celestreá la Mùne had her hopes reborn of a new, uncomplicated family. The man she found didn’t mind having the demigod as a stepson and raised him with the daughter as a family. These two children were the ultimate blessing the woman was happy with.
The two children grew with each other alongside their mother and new father. This was a perfect family that the demigod could be happy with and seemed to forget what his other father was.
Until one day, in his teenage years, the demigod discovered a large lake. When he looked into the reflection in the water, he saw the reflection of a dragon not himself.
Then a large cloud sprouted from the lake and the demigod saw the fog turn into a mirror with the dragon reflection looking at him. “The time had almost come for you to become what you were meant to be.”
“Who are you?” asked the demigod.
“I am the Crystal Dragon, ruler of the gods, Balancer of Light and Shadow, and you are the mortal I chose to be a demigod, in other words, my son.” The Crystal Dragon, in a fog-like form, showed the demigod all the memories of the long, distinct past. The Titans. The battle with Lusìvar.
The Crystal Dragon showed the demigod the great horrors the Titans inflicted in the Mortal Realm, long before Pangaea ever came into shape. Then when Pangaea had shaped after the Titans and the First Generation fell, the dark spirit Lusìvar took control halfway into the Second Generation. The Crystal Dragon showed Lusìvar taking control over the lives in Pangaea and ending the memories with the dragon god sending the dark spirit into a dark abyss.
“The age of the Second Generation of the Living Life is soon coming to an end and the Third Generation of the Living Life is about to come. Lusìvar will eventually return, and we gods must not interfere in the Mortal Realm again. You, demigod of Light and Shadow, have the power of a god sleeping within you and will awaken to counterattack Lusìvar before he rules again.”
The demigod was surprised at this news and didn’t want to fight anyone, and yet being the son of a god had enthused his mind. Being the son of a god would mean he could do anything he wanted.
But the Crystal Dragon could read the demigod’s mind and said to him, “You shall not become like the Titans or Lusìvar. It is up to you not to become them. I chose you to be a fighter for the Light and Shadow, not a player of the gods. You must do your duty and defend life. You mustn’t conquer life; otherwise, you will make life more miscible than ever.”
The demigod could barely understand what the dragon was saying. The mere thought of being a fighter had baffled him, the demigod did not even know what wanted to do with the power, let alone fight any ancient spirit.
“Give yourself some time, my son,” said the Crystal Dragon. “You will understand when the time comes for the power within you to awaken. And you will need a name to go by, you cannot continue unnamed, and you will take the name mortals everywhere will remember: Valverno.”
Then the fog faded and the demigod had been named Valverno. Valverno went back to his home and told his mother and foster father about the news of him being named by a strange fog. Celestreá la Mùne reminded Valverno she told him about his mortal father going away and being replaced by a god.
The day had come: the end of the Second Generation. A large wave from the ocean put a large crack in Pangaea. The large cities and towns of Pangaea began to break apart from the large cracking earthquake and drown beneath the howling waves of the giant oceans.
Celestreá la Mùne had foreseen the coming of the end of the Generation and needed to save her children. With the power she had within her heart she cast a spell on her daughter and Valverno. The two children floated into the air while she and her husband, who had been with her since her daughter’s birth, stayed behind.
The two children had been saved, along with three other children, but the adults could not be saved and had been consumed by Pangaea’s destruction.
The land of Pangaea was split into two different islands: one long and narrow, and the other of a dragon’s footprint.
The five children witnessed the destruction of the Second Generation and the coming of the Third Generation of Living Life.
After the destruction ceased and the creation of two new islands, Valverno, his half-sister, and the three other people had trouble settling down in the new islands. They mourned the loss of their parents, their loved ones and their home which had gone up in flames.
Luckily, the godly power sleeping within Valverno’s mind had awakened and his young mind had been transformed into the mind of a leader. Within a short time, Valverno led the survivors through the new era, where they oversaw many new species that started out young from the Second Generation: Centaurs, Dragons, Faeries, Griffins, Merpeople, Pegasi, Sea Serpents, and Unicorns.
These species survived the destruction of Pangaea somehow and managed to live. How they survived remained a mystery, but they weren’t the only ones to have survived. Evil creatures also came to the two islands: Banshees, Basilisks, Black Dogs, Chimeras, Cyclopes, Harpies, Manticores, and Minotaurs.
Many primitive species had survived into the new Generation while Valverno and his companions were the only humans to have survived into the new Generation. After the power within the demigod had awakened, Valverno gave a small portion of his godly power to his companions.
Valverno had become the fighter the Crystal Dragon had intended. In no time at all, evil forces tried to take over the evolving civilizations.
