God of Time
Inside the white heavenly palace adorned with gold, sat a single man on a majestic throne that was built high so that the monarch could observe his entire realm...
His expression was soft and kind as he observed the little creature which had not given him rest since morning.
On his lap was sitting a little girl that looked to be no older than 7 years old, with teal-colored hair tied into two long pigtails with white ribbons, she was wearing a simple white dress with high-knee socks that adored her slim legs...
The girl inherited all her beauty from her father, her innocent and cute smile was even more dangerous than any legendary weapon located in the kingdom´s treasury. Her beauty was also a great source of worry for her father as there was not only one man that he was looking forward to seeing a young princess growing up into a beautiful young flower.
She was leaning against her father's chest and treasured every minute she had with him, after all, it was finally "that" special day when she can be with her father alone without needing to share his love with any of her siblings.
"Papa..can you tell me a story?" the daughter asked with a soft twinkle in her beautiful gold/white heterochromatic eyes
"Hm...again? I am pretty sure I already told you every story I know..." monarch responded with a soothing smile, teasing his daughter
"Uhmm...I want to hear a story about a sad god!!" daughter turned her gaze at the sky, as she was searching through her memory when certain came to her mind
Monarch´s eyes widened in surprise for a moment but he soon regained his gentle smile and put his hand gently on his daughter's head
"Do you like that story...?" the monarch asked curiously
Nod! Nod!
The girl nodded cutely and closed her eyes as a sign for her father to start, she always closed her eyes and listened to his pleasant voice while she was imagining the story he was telling.
"Then listen carefully, my little princess...Once Upon a time, there was a god whose name was Sariel...
Sariel, like everyone else too, was born from the mother of existence Yggdrasyl...he was the kindest god ever and loved everyone.
He spent most of his time playing around with his friends, whenever they were simply lazing around or making new friends with ancient dragons or even High-Elfs that guarded the mother of existence Yggdrasyl.
Everyone loved him and adored him but being too perfect is not always the best...some gods were jealous of how perfect and carefree he was...their jealousy finally exploded when Sariel revealed his power....absolute authority over time,
The power that could help him reign over others yet he did not wish for dominance...
Over the years jealousy grew into anger and anger grew into hatred.
They decided they will ruin his perfect life and image...after Sariel´s ten-thousandths birthday, jealous gods came to the council of elders.. they suggested that someone as powerful as Sariel should leave the Sanctuary of gods and build his own world.
They wanted to sabotage Sariel after he build his world and make him bear this shame
Council decided that it was indeed time for him to live up to his role as god and bond with the world.
It was an ancient tradition that was established from the very beginning by the first primordial god,
If the gods were leaves born from the Yggdrasyl then the worlds are its branches that grow infinitely...it is the gods' fate to bond with worlds and develops them...
Jealous gods overjoyed ran to tell Sariel the news...but the reaction they got from him was not the one they expected...
"Really you did that for me...? Thank you, friends. Now I can build a place where I can have fun with everyone!!"
Exactly like they said...Sariel was assigned to a new world...he named it Anthea which means Flower in the hope he can laze around with his friends in the meadow full of beautiful flowers forever.
He invited his precious friends as new inhabitants of this world...among them were mythical creatures and deities like Elf Queen or Phoenix father of Mythical bird Feye...
After some time he saved humans, dark elves, fairies, vampires, and other races from the worlds that were about to reach their ends and gifted them with new places they could call home...There were some minor conflicts with a unique race that demanded their own place in this world, but it was still the era of peace and harmony
Sariel grew older and watched over the kingdom he built for thousands and thousands of years...after all that time he finally started to feel lonely... most of his friends already had families...and they had not much time for him.
So he got an Idea...If he also built a family he would too have someone to take care of and share his infinite love...
He took upon himself a form that can have children...and gave birth to a daughter...that was later known as God of Fate Dalia.
After living for so many years and experiencing all kinds of things the world has to offer Sariel came to know a new kind of love..parental love.
His heart throbbed when he saw his creation...his most beautiful work...and his most loved one.
He immediately started bragging to his friends about his daughter and with their help raised her into the perfect goddess that helped him manage his realm...still feeling lonely Sariel give birth to another nine children to whom he can give his infinite love.
Just like that was born Duncan god of battle and Cerys goddess of love with her twin sister Vera goddess of Truth
"ugh.....aunty Cerys.."daughter shivered a little
"Hmm?What about her?" father asked with a raised eyebrow
"It's just....aunty Cerys is too clingy!! She hugs me and Azi all the time you know? It's scary because we can´t even move you know??" the daughter explained with terror in her eyes and extravagant gestures which made her look cuter than anything.
"Hee..did she? I should have small talk with her..." the monarch told as his deep eyes shone with killing intent.
"Where did I stop? Ah yes, he gave birth to another nine children...
Living in peace with his family and Friends, Sariel had everything he could ever ask for...
Jealous gods however couldn't let that slide...his happiness was their suffering...their every attempt over the centuries ended up in failure...whether they started a pandemic in his world or started wars..once they even lured demon gods that ruled over demons to attack his world.
Everything was useless...Sariel was too strong...
Filled with despair, gods reached up for the power that couldn´t and shouldn´t be touched...corrosion.
They infected their own words with corrosion ...and used forbidden rituals to absorb all that power to strengthen themself...
By sacrificing their own world gods gained power that was enough for them to face him...
They used Sariel's kindness and lured him into a trap pretending they need help to get him away from his own world that became his homeland to all sorts of powerful beings and all of his children that inherited part of his strength...they attacked him all at once.
Even three gods strengthened by forbidden ritual couldn't match his powers..and after the battle that lasted hundred years...Sariel emerged victorious
Even though he successfully defeated them...he was never the same after
The light inside him was devoured by darkness...
In the battle, he was poisoned by corrosion...and became something else...abomination thirsty for power
He returned to his own world...his change was unnoticed by others
Slowly spreading corrosion until one day...his oldest daughter...Dalia noticed his change and confronted her father with her siblings...
Sariel´s was too strong and his children greatly weakened from corrosion...he defeated his own children and killed 4 of them with his own hands.
At the last moment when he was facing his eldest daughter, that was crying tears of blood after seeing her siblings being killed by her own father... a small part of himself woken up...he gave his daughter a clue and item that will help her defeat him, leaving from fear that his corroded self will take control over his body once again with last words
'Next time don't hesitate.....kill me..please'
"So she felt a sleep..." monarch whispered as he looked at his daughter sleeping soundlessly
"Don´t you think that story is too gory for her? No, it's definitely too much.." a woman with dark blue eyes and long white hair dressed in Japanese attire asked gazing at the monarch
"Yeah...but I can´t really refuse her...and that story has a happy ending so it's fine isn´t it?"
"You are really a fool when it comes to your children Aster...I can´t even imagine what will happen if some dumb man shows up proposing one of them" the woman giggled
Gazing into her blue eyes with pupils in form of a crescent moon, monarch Aster whispered in low voice to not wake up his daughter
"Isn't it obvious when they are this cute.....I would kill anyone for them.."
"Even me?" Woman teasingly asked
The temperature inside the palace immediately dropped and the sun in the sky started to shine more brightly as if it was prepared to explode into a supernova that will erase the whole planet at any time.
"Without hesitation" the monarch´s cold voice echoed thought the whole palace
