- In the beginning they say there were five spirits, They gave life and forum to the world. Enda made the lands and sky, Afang made the plants and gave them life, Shinsho made the water, Zoanzo made the elements, and Lilling the oldest made all life and gave them names. The spirits were seen as gods to the people, and so they became. Gods to the people, ther were seen as perfect but much escapes the human eye. Enda came to hate the humans and all they stood for, he turned on the other gods and war engulfed the spirits. Enda and Afang, brother and sister fought for power, the other Gods never stood in there way on the request of Afang. Many years passed with no side making any progress, Lilling soon became tierd of the fighting. They say this voice was like thunder and it made the earth shake. "This war has gone on for far to long, I now say how it will end. Afang, you will make a human boy, Enda you will make a human girl, they are to be brother and sister. In sixteen years, they will fight and when one dies the other will win." Enda did not like this, Thinking all humans nothing more then a failed game But was not one to stand to the power of Lilling and did as he was told without a word. The two chiledern were raised as brother and sister for 16 years, then as Lilling said, they fought for Enda and Afang.
It is the legend passed down in my family, they say it is more then that. I see it as nothing more then a Bed time story that my Father told me when I was young, But how am I to know, That was many years ago and the full story is now lost to even my family. We tell it as best we can come sit and let me tell you the way it was told to me by my father.
Charm said it was good...But I want to see what you all think.
oh..ya more to come if someone likes it...
Ch.1......
- Spoiler:
- chapter one: The Halls Of The Gods.
Zoanzo moved through the long hall with a even pace that was just belowa run. stone walls layed on his left and right the only light came from the windows that seat at the top of the walls. after a few minutes of Zoanzo's walk he came to a door. Zoanzo took a moment to ponder the need of the golden arches that surrounded the doorway. He took note that the door unlike all other things in the halls was made of wood, Before he had more time to look the door over, it opened and a voice called to him. "I did not call you here to take wonder in my door Zoanzo, plz come in." Zoanzo gave a bow and walked in, the doors closed behind him. The room was dark only in the center was there light to see, and what Zoanzo saw unnerved him. Lilling stood over a baby at play with a doll its laugh filled the chamber. "No, it would seem you did not call me for that, lilling, but why then is it?" He moved to lilling's side never taking his eyes off of the baby "Is that Enda's girl?" he asked, he already knew what lilling had done but wanted him to say it before acting. "No, Not Endas, Dont say that fools name in my chambers" Lilling bent down and picked the girl up and he looked into her violet eyes with a look that only a father gave. "She is yours, then, why?" Lilling moved to the far end of the chamber the light seemed to move with him. he placed the baby in a makeshift bed. "Why? this war will not end if we stay out of it, this my firend, is the only way, Afang can not know of this until the time is right." he made his way back and for the first time Zoanzo seen something he had not seen before, Lilling was limping. "She..took alot out of me" lilling said, seeing Zoanzo's eyes. "How much of your power?" Lilling just shook his head "No one can know this Zoanzo, it is why I called you here. You are the only I can put faith in." Zoanzo moved in close to Lilling "What is it that you want me to do, old one" Lilling gave a laugh that filled the chambers "Old one! and when did I say I wanted you to do anything other then not tell" Zoanzo gave a smirk "you would not have called me here if only for that, do not play me old one, I am not stupid." Lilling put a hand on Zoanzo's shoulder "If Enda finds her, he will know, at this moment he could take me down. What I ask of you is two things, my Zoanzo, One, If I fall she can not. Two I need you to take her to the humans, she will not be like the other two humans we send. Give her a good home, tell the people you give her to all about her. Wait until Enda and Afang send there humans to the world." Zoanzo gave a low bow "As you command" He turned and walked to the door stopping only to ask "Where is Afang.....Nvm I will look in the gardens."
Afang seat in the center of the sunlit gardens. She seat unmoving and did not even see Zoanzo come up behind her "And how does this wonderful day find you, Afang?" She did not move or even seem to know he was there, she looked off at the far end of the garden. Zoanzo followed her gaze and it fell on a young boy that looked to zoanzo to be six. "Is he the boy?" He asked as he seat next to Afang, Afang gave a nod. "Why so old?" Zoanzo could not help but ask. "Lilling made us, He said this
way, they may hold some memories of there time in this so called utopia. he says the winner can return here, It is nothing more then a way to make the two fight." Zoanzo rubbed his head and looked as a girl of the same age ran up to the boy. "I see, Well they will be brother and sister, why not give them somthing to fight for, if we put them there and just tell them they must now fight because we say so, how will that work out?" The boy and girl now in a foot race ran past the two "You are right Zoanzo, But look, they are having fun, If they think of that..will itnot be harder to fight?" Zoanzo took her words in and knew she was right "Only time will tell..." he said in a whisper. Enda then entered from the far side and made a hand gesture to the girl and then waled away, the girl running after him. "It would seem Enda thinks the same and is trying to keep them away form one another." The boy ran up to the two, holding up a rock he had found, to Afang. Afang took it looking it over "What is this?" The boy just smiled "Its a pretty rock, momma!" Zoanzo looked and found it odd that Afangs eyes lit up at the boys words. "I love it my son." the boy gave a cry of joy. Afang then picked a lully flower and handed it to the boy "From this time on, When you see a lilly, Will you think of me?" The boy gave a laugh "Silly momma! I will always think of you!" Afang gave a smile "yes, It was silly to think that you would not." and the boy ran off to play. "The boy does not know what is to become of him?" Afang shook her head "When are they to be sent off? Has Lilling said?" Afangs eyes followed the boy. "Sunset" was all she could say. "You are going to miss him, You have too much love for the humans." She looked him in the eyes "And you do not? If so why do you not side with Enda? Zoanzo gave a laugh "I do not hate them, as he does, I just think that loving them is somthing we should not do." Zoanzo knew he made a mistake as Afang jumped up anger shown on her face "Come, we are going!" She called out as she left, the boy running after her the lilly still in his hands. Zoanzo could not believe it, She Could not love the boy, "Too much love..." he layed back and fell asleep in the grass.
Ch 2.......

- Chapter 2: A long goodbye
Zoanzo awoke a few hours latter and looked up at the sun "15 minutes to sunset..." He gave a sigh "I guess Afang would be saying goodbye about now" He rubbed the top of his head. "Ok frist off, Lilling wanted me to hand deliver his littel bundle of joy...I cant do that now, or I will be seen....I guess I will go find the others and see them say goodbye..." He gave a big yawn "Man, can never get a good sleep, its going to kill me one day."
five minutes latter Zoanzo walked into the grand hall. He looked around to see Afang, Enda and Lilling all in the center of the room talking. Zoanzo moved up to the three staying back some to hear them talking. "Can we get this over with, I have things that I must do" Enda spoke in a angry tone. "You make it sound as if you wont miss the girl, Enda" Afang said back at him. Enda gave a laugh "I wont, and its not like they will even be able to recall this day, when they are sent to the world of the humans, we will be nothing to them!" Zoanzo looked around to see the two children sitting on the other side of the room, more asleep then anything. "Afang go say goodbye now, We have only nine more minutes until they must go." Lilling said looking at her with a smile. "You should do the same Enda" Lilling moved past him to Zoanzo "You will come with me, we have...things to do" He put his hand on Zoanzo's back "Things that can not wait." The two walked out of the room. "Is this about your girl?" Zoanzo did not waste any time asking. "Yes You must take her now, if she stays any longer, Enda may find her." Zoanzo gave a low bow "As awalys, As you command."
Back in the room, Afang held her boy in a long hug. "You have to be good, ok" She said with a smile. The boy gave a sleepy yawn and a nod "I will see you in sixteen years, you got that, if you are bad in any of that time, I will be mad" Enda Walked up beside her, and laughed "Like a mother sending ther son off to school, whats the point of saying goodbye?" Afang shook her head "Dont talk to me, I have nothing to say to you." Enda laughed even harder "Whatever you say, dear sister."
Zoanzo ten minutes later held in his arms the baby girl as he walked up to the biggest house he could find in the village Lilling had sent him. He held up the baby so that they were face to face. "Your not so cute..." The baby just looked back at him "I have seen a lot cuter.." the baby tilted her head. "Stop trying to be cute" The baby gave a laugh, and Zoanzo look around to see no one there "Look at me...Fighting with a baby...you dont know what I am saying do you?" She gave another laugh and Zoanzo gave a sigh "Ok you are cute" He walked in the house and looked around to see a room with a light on "Up, at this time of night...whatever. He walked into the room without a word to see a momther and father reading to a young girl that was falling asleep. The father jumped up "What are you doing in my home!?" Zoanzo laughed at him "I was sent by Lilling the great god. The man's eyes went wide and he pushed Zoanzo into the hall and colsed the door behind him "And you are?" Zoanzo looked at the man like he had lost his mind. "I am Zoanzo, And I do not kind to being pushed by a human." The man fell to his knees "Zoanzo, what is the gods what from me!?" Zoanzo rolled his eyes "Get up, Lilling need your help." He gave the man the baby "It is Lilling, he needs you to look after her for the time being." The man looked at the baby for a long minute then back at Zoanzo "H-how long?" Zoanco rubbed his head "As far as I know Sixteen years, When the time is right, Lilling will come for her." Zoanzo turned and walked back out of the house as if nothing had happened, looking back only one time "Eh, Lets hope Enda Does not find you, This is goodbye, Next time we meet, you better be cute." the Wind kicked up and Zoanzo vanished.
