Nathan slowly moved his body back, leaning until he felt the earth below his body, laying flat with his feet still in the water as his eyes looked up into the night sky. He had modelled the entire stars above slightly. Differently, he reversed half of the stars, adding a few more stars into the night sky while removing a few others. It was supposed to be a fantasy land afterwards.

"May I ask why you came here, Nathan?"

Kaye's question took a moment to respond to; he had to think about what was the right answer, he needed to give an answer that was not a lie but did not also tell the whole truth. Telling people that he came here was his divine plan was a lie, while telling people he was sent here because the system screwed him would only raise many more complicated questions.

"I was supposed to be here a long time ago; some time went wrong. I suppose, and that is why I am here. Is the date currently 997 A.E right?"

Kaye nodded her head as she felt the mood grow sombre, answering his question as she looked at him. "That is right. It's the twenty-second of New Coming of the Year 997."

Nathan nodded his head as he slowly rubbed his head, clearly thinking as he chose his words carefully. "Well, I was supposed to be here roughly at 669 A.E, During the Waring period. I guess that plan has gone haywire. I need to find out what happened; maybe I should speak to Auryn about that and find out more."

Kaye bit her lip, shaking her head as she looked at him with a severe expression. "You should not, I do not know the full details, I've heard that it was h.e.l.l, G.o.ds fighting each other in a nightmare landscape with a flick of a finger thousands die, it was a cruel time, and I know others who were alive at the time have horrible memories of it."

Nathan looked at her as he sat back up, staring at her with intent as he needed to know more about what happened. He needed to ask rather simple questions so he could get a baseline as he stared at her.

"What happened Kaye. I need to know; I need a rough outline please."

Kaye thought for a few moments, wondering if it was right for her even to discuss this topic, it was history in the past, but it seemed to have some weight to the man she was speaking.

"Well, you know about the Seven DemiG.o.ds right?"

Nathan nodded his head; he would begin to list off each one of them, the memories of each coming back to him as he knew all of the children he had created.

"Saleh, G.o.ddess of the Night and Dusk, Elnas G.o.ddess of the Ocean, Yztrix G.o.ddess of Fertility, Aelina G.o.ddess of Death, Ingros, G.o.d of the Sun, Oana G.o.ddess of Wealth and Fortune and Cyris G.o.d of Beasts and Nature."

He named the Seven off, though he knew this was not true. Two other DemiG.o.ds existed, the first daughter he had created was Celorian, his daughter which he named and gave his last name, the other one was the main antagonist for his game, and this was the real mastermind behind the war.

Kaye nodded her head as she would begin. "Well, Aelina started a war, killing many of Saleh's people, Saleh went mad and started to lash out at everyone, hurting people from other camps and eventually the whole world went to war, some siding with Aelina claiming that she was not involved at all with others joining Saleh after the ma.s.sacre had happened."

She paused for a moment as she tried to remember the facts, this was not a strong suit for her, and due to the upbringing, Kaye could tell some of the events had been altered to fit with her kingdom since she was living in a place that wors.h.i.+pped Saleh.

"The war lasted twenty years, I think it ended roughly 699 A.E, the war ended when the final G.o.ds died, Saleh and Aelina fought, while Aelina won the fight Saleh's armies had won the battle. With her power so drained, the armies finally managed to kill her, and that ended the period of Downfall."

Nathan felt his heart sink, all of his children had fought to the death and had killed each other; this was not how he had planned the game at all, his children were meant to come together and become one, stronger united then weaker alone. He felt his heart ache as he fought back the tears.

Why was he close to crying over characters he had designed, it was stupid. He needed to get ahold of himself.

"Thank you for telling me, but you said Saleh died, how is she around now then?"

Kaye nodded her head as this was something more recent, she had even seen the event with her own eyes when she was a young woman, it was something she could never forget.

"In 987, roughly ten years ago Saleh was brought back to this world, the leaders of the old empire performing a ritual that sacrificed themselves to bring the belief of the G.o.ddess to a strong height, which caused the G.o.ddess to become reborn into the world."

She could still remember the sight, the entire world going dark around her, lights getting snuffed out as the sun went completely dark, the body of the G.o.ddess just barely seeable as she appeared in the sky, her words still ringing out inside her head.

"I'm reborn to put people of pure evil will be sent to the vortex of life itself."

She remembered those words as she repeated them, soon afterwards the valley of the G.o.ds turned into the vortex, anyone who supported another religion then her own had been sentenced to the vortex, the Empire that was prosperous slowly turned stagnant.

She still wondered if it was a mistake to bring back the G.o.ddess.

"Thank you; It must have been hard Kaye."

Nathan spoke softly as he looked at her, his own heart heavy as his daughter must have suffered many issues, it was his fault for a few of them as well. It was never meant to be like this.

Silence hung in the air heavy, the stars s.h.i.+ning above as both continued to sit and listen to the gentle river going by, the fish swimming and the sounds of distant snoring.
