Long ago, after billions of years, humankind finally did what seemed impossible: they lived in perfect harmony. No war, famine, cultural clashes, racism, sexism, addiction, rich, poor and no disease. Everyone was finally able to enjoy their lives without being bound by money, drugs, race, gender, orientation or sex.
After 500 years of this, the Father of creation went to sleep, planning to wake up only when needed. He left everything in charge of his four divine children, with Luna, his only daughter, acting in his role.
Leo, the oldest, shined brilliantly in his white robe with golden crests and always acted as the proud big brother. He loved his siblings' accomplishments more than his own. He was muscular, with a handsome, perfect face and white hair.
Luna, his only daughter, shined radiantly in her golden robe with white crests and was the most beautiful being in existence. She was fairly tall, around 5'9 and has glowing silver hair. She was brilliant, very social, intelligent and a great communicator with great intuition.
Finally Theo, the youngest, shined brilliantly in the same robes of his older brother. Theo was quiet, kept to himself and performed his duties well and also was very handsome. Some would even say he was more handsome than his older brother, despite his unusual black hair, not a special color like his siblings. He was the only one of the children able to fully use magic.
Luna and Leo could do simple things, like teleport, transform themselves like a shapeshifter and become invisible, whereas Theo had powers of all sorts of magic that he often kept to himself to not make his siblings jealous.
Finally, the Father's light Phoenix, Tej, the first son and creation of the Father. Tej aided the Father and children in their duties and loved his life.
Tej was bound by loyalty to their commands. Once a command was given, he had to perform it. The only secret kept from the children by the Father was that the Father could see memories from the point of view of Tej and link with him, seeing what Tej could see and vice versa.
That way, if someone betrayed him, he would know who.
Time flowed much differently in the three lands that hosted the souls of the dead. For every 100 human years, one year would pass in these other three realms.
Eden hosted those who did great deeds, made sacrifices for others and most importantly, prayed to the Father, his children and Tej; also known as the Blessed five.
Limbo hosted those souls who didn't believe nor pray. It also hosted those who committed great sins or taboos but prayed to the blessed 5, asking for forgiveness. They also turned their lives around, becoming selfless.
The Underworld hosted the rest of humankind and non-believers and had its own following. Some wished to worship those in the Underworld, or the leader of the Underworld and formed cults. Even in the time of peace they simply rejected the Father and worshiped something they failed to realize didn't actually exist.
The Father would rotate Leo, Luna and Theo every 10 years, or 1000 human years, to avoid complacency and give the souls a different ruler with different mindsets. He believed this encouraged the souls to repent and seek peace in Eden.
It was possible to go up or down to the Underworld based on the souls' intentions during Limbo, and whoever ran Limbo at the time was responsible for souls who had perished and where they would be placed.
Ultimately, the Father could overrule his children, but often did not. Only on the rarest occasion would the Father over turn their children.
While the Father was resting, Theo began scheming a way to take over Earth and introduce two new planets in addition to Earth. During his time in the Underworld, Limbo and Eden, he built quite the following and marked all the souls that would be willing to come to his side. If they betrayed him in anyway, their soul would shatter, ceasing to exist.
His plan was simple, his Father had been asleep for nearly 50 years in the Blessed Fives' realm. Theo planned the next time it was his turn to rotate to Eden, he would create the two planets. One for demons, vampires, werewolves, the types who could blend in with humans. The other for Minotaurs, hellhounds, Chimeras, golems and hydras, his biggest weapons when war would strike.
They would be known as Baxus and Braxus and would need to be prepared and created quickly, for as soon as his rotation was over, his brother and sister would see the creations, known as the "Forbidden," and wake their Father.
