Chapter 1: Winds of Change
Rumble
The clouds churn, lightning flashes across the sky, A turmoil only felt by the very strongest of the world.
A man sits upon a throne appearing to have not moved for ages. His eyes unfocused with static flashing across their depths gain focus once more. A chaotic golden glow washes over them and their vertical slit pupils constrict. He raises his head and casts his gaze into the sky, a broad almost manic smile slowly graces his lips as he mumbles to himself “ha finally they’ve come, I can finally have my war” before lowering his head and returning to his unfocused gaze as if nothing ever happened.
A witch is studying the results of her latest experiments while listening to the reports of her subordinate. “I'm sorry my lady I have failed to find the traces of the rui-” “Shhhhh I’m trying to listen to something” She stood up and walked to her balcony completely ignoring the report and looked up with a whimsical curiosity. “Hmmm what's causing such a reaction, is this what that lizard and depressed shadow have been waiting for? Interesting, very interesting, I can’t wait to see what happens. There hasn't been anything big happening in so long” her subordinate follows behind not daring to raise his head or speak out of turn. She sits back down to continue reading but looks up in a momentary confusion "huh you're still here? ahh never mind it's fine you can go since I'm in such a good mood"
A man and woman are standing above a grave holding umbrellas to brave the rain. The man feels something so he looks up at the sky which has begun to boil. The woman next to him asks “Is there something special about the storm?” he continues to looks up never turning for a moment “Yeah do you remember what I told you about when I came back, back then? Apparently the child has been born" the woman looks up and form a light smile before responding "Well it's about time, I don't think little ole god can hold back anymore” They continue to look at the sky for a few more moments before returning to looking at the graves in front of them again and letting silence wash over the both of them.
A sleeping gargantuan beast opens its six enormous eyes, feeling the changes in the world from deep within the ground that it calls home. It raises up it's head and stares straight up as if it can peer straight through to the myriad floors of the labyrinth above it's head. “So the mother is finally having her blessed child after so long” it huffs lightly before returning to it's slumber, however a silence spread over the entirety of the labyrinth above solely due to feeling it the guardian awaken for the first time in hundreds of years, nothing daring to move or make a sound for a long time following.
A group of sea creatures resting at the bottom of the ocean are quietly talking before hearing a slight rumble causing a hush to fall over them. An enormous eye a hundred meters wide opens and stares straight up to look at the sky. A deep turbulent will washes through the water causing it to shake violently "hahahaha what kind of monstrosity is being born for her to have such a reaction" no sound is made but the will itself speaks directly into their heads. One of the sea beasts moved ever so slightly and speaks "Should we hunt the child now? You know how much the talented children of the land like to hunt us-" before he could finish speaking the very water that it was beloved by and spent it's whole life in betrayed it and crushed it to death in an instant. Right after what looked like ground below them opened up into a massive mouth and ate the creature whole. "No one is to touch the child outside of the natural order, we've been trapped for too long here" The will roared into their heads as they were reminded why he was the sole sovereign of the sea.
A group is sitting in a room around a circular desk, two of the members suddenly look up and smile broadly. “Looks like the birth was successful” one of the two state confidently, another member of the room responds “its about time, we’ve been putting up with that little girls demands for too long” The old man sitting at the largest seat at the table tapped his fingers on the table making everyone's attention turn to him and finally spoke “Avantus go collect the creature and put it into the seal. After that's done reward the parents and test the mother for how much she has gained” “Yes sir, I’ve already instructed the security and I’ll head there now” with that the conversation veered into their future actions now that they've gotten what they wanted.
WAAAAAA
At the same time the sky rumbled, the Child of change was brought into this world. Letting out a cry that seemed to created a sort of resonance with the very will of the planet itself, and in response as if celebrating every sentient being unknowingly suddenly felt their moods lifted filled with nothing but their happiest of thoughts.
