Age of discovery.

Q :

Has the world only seen two heroes over two milenium.

A :

There has been many who came through the gates. But only three were able to survive to the end as well as make a name for themselves Good or Bad.

One who is Hero Helios, and the second Jay Garrick and

the Third one Born at the beginning of the world.

Q:

If many perished then why did Jay survive.

A:

Because Jay had a familiarity through the various sources imagining such situations and also providing situations and their solutions.

Thus it did provide him an edge such as learning magic earlier than usual. Escaping and staying wary of bandits.

Choosing classes that make him more versatile.

-End-

The chief was a charecter who had two tasks since her birth.

First was being an mediating between the God's and the Immortals. And second was raising Heroes. To battle and clean the filth clogging up in the lands.

She crowned the Three Heroes of the lands.

The Hero of the beginning

The Hero of the Divine Era

The Hero of the End

Who was the Hero of the beginning?.

It was a Hero long forgotten by these lands the God's and the mortals that live in these lands. But that's a story for the next chapter.

The Chief before she was a intermediary and a Hero maker she was just your average young girl who liked what other girls at her age do. She has lived for the most time longer than the immortals and the lower God's alike.

This is a story that goes way back even long before the Divine Era.

It was the age of discovery. Where after God (X) created all the races and places them in their natural habitat after teaching them the necessary skills to survive. God returned to the heavens (Void).

Dwarves dug deep into the ground and found metals.

The Elves stuck to the Mother Tree and The World Tree.

The Kobolds hunted through the plains.

(Species : Made Extinct by Humans)

The Harpies and the other sky dwellers freely roamed the skies with their wings

Fairies and Pixies lived with the Elves as through generation they developed a bond with each other for being peace loving creatures.

(Species : Thriving due to Immortal intervention)

Demi humans :

Not yet born, will be born when a human mate with animal

And a miracle will be born.

(Species : Thriving due to Immortal intervention, although

Making demi humans artificially has been banned due to

Ethical concerns)

Demons and Asura :

To be born during the birth of the immortals.

( Species : Extinct due to immortal intervention)

And Finally Human lived in plains living in colonies practicing agriculture and hunting and fishing While incorporating various beast into their work.

Their start was small generations passed and so did their mental capacity. They started learning things and applying them in ways that seemed improbable at first but then made sense.

And after a few more generations came the Age of Discovery and that's when the Chief was born. Just as a simple village girl.

The age of discovery was a period where many scholars traveller's sailors set out to map the world.

They went on king expeditions and bought back varieties of new materials, food and methods and literature from other colonies of humans.

Truly a age of great discovery. As their discovery of the world increased they found two gates. Sperated from each other.

And from the gate would arrive humans or other species entirely. They would mostly be friendly but some were hostile.

They were the gate busters. And in the craze of discovery they began selling their own knowledge and monopolizing on the gains. Just to find the whereabouts of the keys.

But back then there were also many diseases and almost no known cures thus the gate busters fell ill or were captured and sold as slaves.

While some gate busters finally settled in their journey and made the lands their home. It is said that the descendants of the gate busters were very guaranteed to be born a genius and have unique skills.

The chief was given the name Fena . Born during the age of discovery her parents were themselves adventurers who travelled with their entire family. They roamed the lands in all sorts of directions. Waiting for some mystery to happen but they were met with none.

Everyone doesn't need to have a tragic past to prove their value. This was something her father used to say as he used to collect books and stories around the world.

While her mother was much more fond of poetry and letters of love.

Every time he used to open a book he used to note down the best valued out of them and the unique perspectives of the author.

Lena loved when her Father read stories to her and her mother when she read and explained the poetries and love letters.

Her mother used to say

"One day someone will write these letters just for you,

But for that you have to quickly grow up and fall in love

Just like I did with your Father"

To which the Father used to say

" There's no rush in growing up do it at your own pace."

One day they visited a small colony in the middle of a jungle. Filled with tribal who worshipped the Sun.

For the merchants who bought them food they were an absolute delight. In exchange they would give away their cultural properties such as Paintings, stories, Figures of God, Relics.

And since forgeries were very rare during that time. It was mostly considered authentic. Because instead of forging something you could just get the achievements easily.

By travelling further than the last group.

In the tribe there was a seer who saw Fena. And she saw something in her. It was the path of a guide.

Seer :

You my child are special. You were born under the star of the north. Which guides everyone. You have been graced with the blessing of a guide.

In times of need you shall guide many out of their misfortune.

But your life will be very long and your own path uncertain.

Father :

What does it mean, Seer.

Seer :

She can see the path others need to take but not her own.

Mother :

Then what should we do.

Seer :

This is not a disease, but one's way of life. Filled with Conflict and Peace, Choices Good and Bad,

Raise her into the daughter you want to see and then like a bird she must fly the rest of the way on her own.

Mother :

I will raise her the best that I can Seer.

Fena :

Mother why are you listening to this stranger. You said you shouldn't talk with strangers.

Seer :

I'm not a stranger I'm a friend. Not just me but my entire tribe.

Fena :

Then would you play with me.

Fena asked the Seer with great expectations.

Seer :

My bones have started to hurt . But we have many kids here who would like to play with.

Fena :

So you won't play with me?

Seer :

Maybe next time.

Her father intervened.

Father :

Fena it is wrong to force someone.

Fema : puffing her cheeks

Hmmph.

And from that day her parents believed each and every word that the revered Seeress said. And as other kids played around she would take lessons, compiling information onto her brain.

Everything from literature to science as well as survival skills and marketing and bargaining.

And then as years passed by her curriculum also changed.

From political science to art to music.

Anything her parents could get her hands on. Any books they could find. Her Father would read and summarize them in such a way that it was possible for a child to read and understand as well as incorporate them in their own lives.

Her mother sometime after started taking interest in arts and music. And she was the one who taught her to play instruments. After learning them first.

And eventually as finally when the entire world was mapped coarsely. The explorations started to vain in number and the time of Exploration was on the verge of coming to an end.

New marketing routes were established. Which made it much easier to travel between different settlements.

It had become much easier to engage in trade of exotic fruits vegetables and delicacies also skins and meat of animals.

During those days mana was very sparse because during those days the number of humans were also less.

Thus there was no idea of magic. Because no one had accumulated the right to use it.

Fena ' father became the Chief of her colony and due to the expansive knowledge he had himself accumulated as he taught Fena. It was easier for him to gain the upper hand.

Fena stood by her side as an advisor.

Decades passed.

Fena got married. To someone who she liked in her childhood. And had two descendants.

Her Father retired and finally passed on the title of chief to Fena.

During his time the colony grew upto 100 times it's original size as many would flock to their territory in order to find a better life for themselves and the chief welcomed them with open arms. But it would also bring bandits who want nothing but harm others.

Walls were raised in order to fend wild animals, monsters and bandits off their territory. Weapons were crafted to protect their carts as they hauled their good to different territories.

And the words of the Seeress were true. She became someone who could guide anyone their path.

Decades passed.

Fena's parents finally met their path's end. She tried to raise her successor in the same way as her parents did. She did everything she could to make them a worthy successor.

She wanted them to walk a path that she could see.

And her wishes bore fruit. Her successor furthered their reach even more. Because of the path she showed.

But,

The fight for the Crown of the Dragon King was finally over and the Dragon King was crowned. The Dragon King as a result of his acelheivement roared and challenged the world

To become the world's rightful ruler.

The Era of Dragons began.

The dragons began scorching everything in their path in the name of the Dragon King. Villages, Towns, Forests, Farms.

The humans bowed their heads to the dragons begging to be spared but the dragon just ate them instead.

Many flocked to the Seeress asking them to show them the way the path to which they could be saved but she could only see their deaths at the hands of the dragons no matter what she did.

Humans prayed to the Gods for their divine intervention only to be met with silence.

Humans fought back only to be trampled by the dragons.

Fena decided to abandon her achievements everything she had built over decades with her citizens to flee to the south.

After fleeing a very long distance they cane across another settlement. Living besides the gate where gate busters are summoned. There she met the gate busters there were many who knew about dragons and their habits but no one who could execute the task of brining one down.

And thus the wrath of the Dragon King even reached the settlement of Gate busters. Every gate buster fought with their might and otherworldly skills but eventually they were overwhelmed by the sheer number of Dragon's.

And their settlement burned to the ground.

Fena with her descendants fled to the gates and prayed for a Hero to descend and that's when the gates opened.

From the Gates like a miracle came a dark force which returns everything to void. Bathed in the power of void.

Who could control the nothingness fully. Such was the

Hero of the Beginning.

It was very ironic that instead of a warrior of Light who brings a new future. Came a person who controlled the darkness or its in existance.
