Chapter 2 - Provenance

Deep within space, in the remnants of a dreadful battle, many Aesir, Vanir, Angels, Jotnar, Beasts, and Demons could be found, all completely void of life. Judging from the freshness of the cadavers and the sounds of battle, it's easy to see that the battle is coming to an end.

On the center of the battlefield, six beings could be seen fighting a battle of unprecedented proportions, space itself breaking at their every clash. "Halt! We won't allow you to go through with this madness!" Seraphim Michael's voice being heard by all present, even through the soundless expanse of space. As he launched his divine spear, Longinus trying to make use of the sudden opening.

Aurgelmir, who was already occupied battling the All-Father, and trying to complete the formation could not manage to block the spear in time, which ripped his entire left arm off. Before the situation got worse, Asgorath ripped six wings off Michael's back. "You dare attack another in a battle with ME!" Roared the Dragon god as he devoured the wings of the Seraphim.

On this battlefield, the supreme god of the pantheon of beasts, Asgorath the Dragon King. Aurgelmir the primordial Jotun, also known as Ymir, and Lucifer the fallen angel and Devil King are battling against the Lord of Heaven, Seraphim Michael, the All-Father supreme god of Asgard, and Freya the Supreme Goddess of the Vanir.

"This is getting nowhere... we have been fighting for seven days and our armies can't handle any more bloodshed, just give up this ludicrous goal you 3 have.. opening the realms is not the answer to our dilemma, us killing each other is just expediting the day of reckoning." Announced Odin as he distanced himself from the battle, signaling for Freya and Michael to do the same.

"You old fool, the lot of you will doom us all, we have explored all paths within our realms but there is non that can allow us to avoid a pyrrhic destiny, we must search on other realms, there are untapped possibilities that can be utilized from them, how can you not see what's right in front of you!! Shouted Lucifer as Asgorath and Aurgelmir protected the ritual formation behind them.

"This will happen, even if we have to fight until only one of us remains, shouted Ymir as he regrew his entire shoulder and arm which were previously ripped off without as much as a change in expression. As this happened Michael grimaced as he started regrowing his missing pairs of wings but it was visible he had sacrificed great strength to complete the feat... Vitality just wasn't his domain...

"All of this is just a repeat of the past... this whole situation was produced by the same actions you lot are trying to repeat, opening the realms, such a foolish mistake we made back then... all due to our greed, but don't mention learning from the past… you want to repeat history in hopes of a different outcome. The definition of insanity is repeating an action and expecting different results." Said Freya in a beautiful voice that made any soul who heard it feel as if it was being embraced by nature.

"It is already done, we have already taken your interference into consideration and prepared accordingly, the ritual can't be stopped and will be completed any moment now. And even then we have united our inheritance so one whose worthy can rise. Said Asgorath as he pulled out from his dimensional space a Soul Stone made from their souls and bloodlines and transported into the middle of the ritual formation.

This action alone incited anger never seen before on the eyes of Michael, Odin, and Freya. YOU FOOLS! How long have you lot been scheming this, that amount of soul energy must have taken the lot of you at the very least 1000 years to recuperate, you never planned for an armistice... this ends now! Freya! Michael! Reinforce me! Said Odin as he launched Gugnir into the air and concentrated his power on it just as Michael and Freya were doing the same.

Seeing the magnitude of the attack Lucifer activated the formation early and launched a barrier together with Ymir and Asgorath. Gugnir collided with the barrier and sparks of cosmic power were produced, making reality itself break. Just as Gugnir broke the barrier, the ritual formation was completed and a blinding immeasurable light was launched. Which propelled all the Supremes away from it. Just before it was completed Asgorath, the mightiest sorcerer chanted with Ymir, and Lucifer in unison, "Go and find he who be worthy, and whoever shall it be shall possess our power". The commandment from the dragon god was embedded into the Soul Stone before it disappeared into the blinding light.

Traitors!! You have doomed all of Acheolus!! Shouted Freya, Odin, and Michael in madness as the Dragon God, The Primordial Titan, and The Devil King left the scene before it was too late. Reluctantly they too had to escape before they themselves fell into the chaos...

As the only thing in the vicinity, the binding light broke space-time itself which resonated all throughout the colossal realm of Acheolus and beyond... many realms not previously discovered were reached. Among one of them was a galaxy called Milky Way which housed many stellar bodies among which there was a specific solar system where an interplanetary race lived, Humanity, as it called itself. The blinding light covered the whole galaxy, but surprisingly no creature or radar noticed for it was faster than the speed of light was impossible for them to notice it.

Many cracks of space happened on many of the planets, taking with them countless being towards Acheolous. On Kepler 452b a king of a mighty specie known as the Krynnys, reptilian humanoid beings with opal colored and texture scales all over their bodies, with shredded bulging muscles. Having a spine like razor blades on their forearms as well as spikes on their knees. Two mighty wings on their backs with claws on their ends just like their fingers. With a powerful tail and with a venom-secreting gland on the tip. Just as the king was listening to the word of his attendant a space crack appeared on top of his castle and swallowed it all whole...

The same scene could be scene all over the many planets even on the Main planet of the race called humanity..
