Prologue

In ancient times, there were four gods: the sky god, a deity of wisdom, innocence, light, storm, and protection of birth; he was also the heavenly realm's monarch and the overseer of all facets of life, and he was accompanied by his unconquerable soldiers, Julus, Hermanus, Drusus, Valerian, Gaea, Procillus, Aggie, Aella, and Pia. Nine beautiful sky warriors who guard the human species. The sky god is the mightiest, strongest god there is, untouchable by other gods.

The king of the sun, fire, blacksmithing, volcanoes, and forges is the fire god, who is accompanied by his warriors Xanthia, Leon, Calligenia, Unimanus, and Arvina. The deity of nature, the king of the forest spirits, Nature Guardian, Tricksters, a guardian of the forest from human evil deeds, and an actual forest manipulator alongside his great Chryses The forest warriors Herta, Sylva, and Pollio, the dog-shaped spirit Rullus, and Lucullus, the forest's soul.

Telepathy, shapeshifting, earthquakes, floods, and droughts are all attributes of the sea deity. Consumed by greed, the sea god proceeded to the Pit of Orcus in pursuit of Diavol, a forbidden book for black magic. The sky god gathered all the other gods after learning of the sea god's treason. A warning was given to the sea god of the disasters that would befall him, but because of his rage and greed, the sea god retaliated by holding the humans the sky god loved hostage in the pit of Orcus. He killed thousands of worshipers and stole thousands of prayers from people who served the sky god along with his henchmen Medusa, Lupus, Rohesia Cerberus, Sisenna, and Marius.

Gargoyle roars and loud screams could be heard as the gates of hell opened. In order to stop the evil from being unleashed, the summoner of the dead, a warrior of the three gods, conjures the spirits of the dead, awakening them as they fought all night. The three gods combine their power to create a huge blow to the skyline and the earth, destroying an entire army of the dead. The sea god tries to retaliate but is outmatched by the three gods and is forced to the center of the battle trapped in the underworld.

Aragon devoted more than 6,000 years to serving the sky deity. He protected the realm from the ghouls who stalk the night and the shadows that wait to devour with his fit and powerful troops. The sky god blessed humanity with a soothsayer, someone who could communicate with him to the heavens in case the evil that was dormant in the land of the living ever arose. For thousands of years, the sky god gave the Kings who ruled Aragon knowledge and brought wealth upon the land throughout their reign.

Aragon prospered beyond all expectation up to the reign of King Marcellus, which was predicted by Deusdedit the third soothsayer, for which a monument, a temple, and an annual large feast were created in his honor. In his dreams, he saw that evil was going to strike and that it would be destroyed by a kid, born of human blood and bearing the silver mark of four gods, but no one believed him.

King Marcellus abandoned the ceremonies and feasts that were meant to be in devotion to the sky deity because he was so obsessed by his desire for power. Years of black magic practice there made his craziness and avarice worse, which he used to summon the eyes of the seven creatures. The red dragon, mythical animal with 10 horns, a lion-like mouth, and a fire-breathing mouth that was previously the sea god, feeds on man's avarice. King Marcellus was shown by the red dragon a life devoid of lies and the sky god, a world he had imagined and one in which was revered.

King Marcellus agreed to the red dragon's offer that he would receive this if only he bowed and opened the underworld's gates. The daughter of his most trusted warrior, Vena, was sent to tempt Iovis, the first child of Cassyus the soothsayer, to have sex with her, which he did, taking a small amount of his blood with her as she returned to King Marcellus, who offered it as a sacrifice to The Red Dragon . By tricking the court and his subjects, the king sent his guards to gather all the second children of the kingdoms.

The sky god's eyes and ears are being blocked. King Marcellus stated that he used the kingdom's second kid as a sacrifice at the sky god's request when the court questioned him about the decision. The sky god was contacted by Cassyus the sorcerer for three days when he noticed the concealed lies in King Marcellus' statements. However, he received no response because his ears had been blocked and the demons of death had snatched his prayers. Seeking the attention of King Marcellus, he tells him of the evil that is all around him—evil that he himself unleashed. King Marcellus, horrified by the warning, begs his guards to expel him from the palace.

As the days passed, the earth's ability to flourish dried up, and drought, farming, and illnesses appeared as the evil that had been hidden no longer did so. This chaos and dread spread over the land since the inhabitants could no longer feel safe at night. King Marcellus spilled the blood of every second kid into the orcus pit as the blood moon grew closer. The attempt to free the beasts of hell causes the skies to grow ominous, shot to the ground, separating demons, golems and evil forces from the underworld. The sun turns bloody as the gates of hell are opened, and the people of Aragon watch as King Marcellus is dragged to the ground while screaming that his schemes have failed while they and their wives and children fled for their life. The second world war begins with a roar from the Golems, the sun sets, and darkness descends upon the earth.
