LUST

THE DARK EMBERS

v1:ch1

"In the beginning, there was only Alderon, he was powerful yet alone and sad so Alderon decided to make the 5 divens, Azreal, Mikal, Gabriel, Israfil, and Samuel. The 5 divens created the heavens and our world the Aerther."

Whispered Helga the prostitute

"Then why do people hate Samuel,…he helped created the world didn't he?"

Siad Baladon with a confused expression.

"He brought us the dark embers out of spite and jealousy when he found out Alderon had plans to create more than just the 5 divans. As Alderon molded the first ones with love and care. Samuel watched with jealousy, the more Samuel heard Alderon's cries of joy while making the first ones the more Samuel became hateful. On the 7th day Alderon scattered the first one across the land Aerther and from the first ones came the different races we see today like the Elfs, Orcs, Humans, Dwarfs, Demon kin, and the other races that populate the world. Peace rained for thousands of years - wow! Look at the time you have to work on fields tomorrow it's time for you to sleep."

Siad Helga with a gentle smile on her face

"Nooooo! please finish the story"

Siad Baladon with a sad expression.

"Okay fine only this time. As the years passed the more jealous Samuel got. Then one day he decided to bring us the dark embers. And on the 8th day, he flew with his majestic wings in between the heavens and Aerther known as the nexus of creation. He tore his wings one by one his screams echoed through the nexus and reached both the heavens and Aerther. Alderon cried as he heard his son's cries and screams. Samuel took the embers of his wings and corrupted them with the actions he committed then he spread the embers through the lands of Aerther. Thus sacrificing his immortality for the cycle of life and death to begin. Alderon forgave his son but the divans thought differently and banished him to Aerther. With him came knowledge and with that came power and with power comes evil. Thus the 5 kingdoms came into being and the emergence of the lord of the embers. Now young one it's time to take yourself to the stables and sleep. I have customers that I need to take care of."

Said Helga with a smile

Then she proceeded to kiss Baladon on the head and wave goodbye

"Goodnight Helga!"

Siad Baladon with a smile.

As Baladon sprinted towards the stables. He sprinted past many brothels and taverns logged really closely together with very little or no room between each other. The streets of Angerothantos or more known as the city of lust was full of adventures of many races and cultures. The street was spotted by many astral lamps which radiated beautiful lilac light which illuminated the streets and helped Baladon always find the stables.

The stables were in the back alleys of the small city and not even the light of astrals reached it. It was only illuminated by the light of Nindar, the moon of Aerther.

As soon as Baladon got inside he jumped on the hay bales with no hesitation and slowly drifted into sleep.
