Asclepius Point of View"My parents are Adalia and Hosur," he said, so I covered my mouth and said that my sister had a child.His mother is Adalia. Third generation Adalia: Adalia has been a servant since Queen Ram's place, followed by my mother and finally me."Nice to meet you, my friend," I said to my waiter. Liway smiled as if he understood what I said."My mother had many stories when she was still alive about the former queen of Krea, Queen Ram. Your mother followed suit. But I will take care of you." Liway still couldn't get rid of the smile on his lips."I didn't expect my good guardian to have a nehera." I squeezed Liway's hand and smiled.After a long conversation with Liway, he left holding the wine glass case.This special day is for everyone. Begin by drinking kielo (grape) juice and eating livena (bread)."Let's drink the kielo (grape) juice together." I raised the glass of wine when suddenly it fell into my hands.Clio, the Lycan werewolf, is a shamra, or leader of th

The moon holds great power in the Krea world, its phases dictating the ebb and flow of magic and mystery throughout the land.As the sun sets, creatures of the night emerge, ranging from mystical beings such as unicorns and centaurs to more sinister creatures like werewolves and vampires.

Third Person’s Point of ViewThe four goddesses of Krea stood on the rocky battlefield; their eyes locked on each other as tension filled the air. Hesperus, the god of the sun and ice, stood with his arms crossed, his eyes hard and cold, as she surveyed her sisters. Agathodaemon, the goddess of lightning, had an arrow knocked and was ready to fire, her bow steady in her hands. Hemera, the goddess of thunder, had her sword drawn, its blade glinting in the sunlight. And Blasphemer, the goddess of war, held nothing but a wicked smile on her lips.It had been building for weeks now. The goddesses had grown resentful of each other, each wanting more power and more influence over mortals and immortals alike. Hesperus had been locked in a bitter feud with her sisters, feeling as though they were constantly trying to undermine her.Now, finally, something had snapped. A petty argument had erupted into a full-blown battle, with the four goddesses trading blows and insults like furious Nehera (

As soon as I felt the warmth on my skin, I knew that my slumber had come to an end. The sun was rising above the horizon, and its golden rays were starting to light up my small bedroom. I slowly opened my eyes, letting my vision adjust to the brightness of the new day.I got up from my bed, stretching my arms and legs as I did so. My muscles are stiff from lying in one position for so long. As I moved around, my long, curly red hair moved with me, casting shadows around me. I looked down at my body, noticing the simple white tunic that I had slept in. It was made from the finest linen, but it was far from the intricate garments that royalty wore.And yet, I knew I was different.I could feel it in my bones. There was a power that coursed through me—a power that set me apart from the other villagers. It was as if a flame was burning within me, waiting to come to life.I walked to the window, glancing outside. From my bedroom, I could see the small fields that lay beyond the village. Th

Third Person’s Point of ViewAs she walked through the hallways of Mount Krea, Asclepius couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. Something was different about the atmosphere in her home, and she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was. As the goddess of wisdom and strategy, Asclepius prided herself on her ability to analyze situations and come up with the best course of action, but this time she was stumped.As she approached Hesperus' throne room, Asclepius noticed that the door was open. This was unusual, as Hesperus was known for his strict adherence to protocol and would never leave his throne room unguarded. With a growing sense of trepidation, Asclepius cautiously peeked inside, only to find the room completely empty.It wasn't long before the rest of the gods and goddesses noticed that something was amiss. Blasphemer, the god of war, was the first to speak up."Has anyone seen my sword?" he bellowed. "I can't seem to find it anywhere.""I haven't seen it," replied Agatho

Third Person’s Point of ViewAs soon as Agathodaemon finished speaking, there was a moment of silence as the other goddesses took in the information. Finally, Asclepius spoke up."Agathodaemon, can you give us more details about this 'darkness' you mentioned?"Agathodaemon nodded. "Yes, of course. I believe it to be a powerful force of evil. I cannot say for certain what it is or where it comes from, but I have been seeing signs of it everywhere I look. It is growing stronger by the day, and I fear it may soon be too great for any of us to handle on our own."Clio furrowed her brow. "This is concerning. We must do something to stop it before it's too late.""I agree," said Hemera. "But what can we do? We cannot simply go out and fight it. We need a plan, a strategy."Asclepius spoke up then, her gentle voice resonating throughout the chamber. "Perhaps we should seek the counsel of others—mortals, perhaps, or even other gods and goddesses. We cannot tackle this alone."The others nodde

Third-person point of viewThe night air was chilly, and Asclepius wrapped her cloak tightly around her shoulders as she walked briskly through the streets of Krea. The world was asleep, and the only sounds were the faint rustling of leaves in the wind and the occasional soft snore coming from a house or palace.As she walked, Asclepius contemplated the things she had learned from Hecate. The thought that she was a goddess, born from the union of Hesperus and Agathodaemon, was still hard for her to fully comprehend. But as she considered her newfound abilities, it all began to make sense.Her enhanced senses allowed her to pick up on every subtle sound, every subtle movement, and every scent in the wind. It was as if she had been gifted superpowers. And with these powers came a great responsibility.She stopped in front of a small temple and gazed up at the statue of her father, Hikaru. The image of the god was imposing, his features carved in marble with a stern expression. He looked

Third Person’s Point of ViewHemera stood in front of her followers, her body bathed in the soft glow of the temple’s candles. She looked at each of her worshippers individually, taking in their offerings, their prayers, and their devotion. It had been weeks since she had returned from her solitary journey of reflection, and she had deemed herself ready to interact with her people again. But something was different. She could sense an aura of unease in her temple, something that seemed to lurk beneath the surface of her followers' adoration. It was as though they knew something she didn’t, something that threatened to unravel the very fabric of her beliefs.“Hemera, we are so glad to have you back with us,” one of her followers said timidly.“Thank you, my child,” Hemera replied softly. “I have missed you all.”The temple was abuzz with chatter as the followers began to congregate around her. Hemera took each of them in, her eyes scanning the room for any sign of trouble. She couldn’t

Third Person’s Point of ViewInside the temple, they were met by a group of priests. They wore long, flowing robes and carried ceremonial staffs. They were clearly the leaders of the world, and they greeted Metaphor and Evionna with respect.“We have come seeking knowledge,” Metaphor said, bowing to the priests. “We have been told that your world is the keeper of secrets that have been lost to time.”The priests nodded gravely. “It is true. Our world was once a center of learning and wisdom, but over time, most of our knowledge has been lost. What is it that you seek? ”Metaphor and Evionna explained that they were searching for the temple of the goddess Ram, hoping to find answers to the questions that had been plaguing them.The priests nodded, their faces serious. “The temple of the goddess Ram is a place of great power and mystery. We know of its existence, but we do not know where it is located. However, we do have a map that may be of use to you.”The priests led Metaphor and Ev

Third Person’s Point of ViewIn the Nexus world…The goddess Ram sat upon her throne, watching as the two queens stood before her. They had come seeking her aid, as their kingdom was in great distress.“Goddess Ram,” Queen Metaphor said, bowing before the divine being. “We beg for your assistance. Our land is suffering, and we do not know what to do.”Queen Evionna spoke next. “We have done all we can as rulers, but our Nexians need more than we can provide. Please, Goddess Ram, grant us your wisdom.”The goddess Ram looked upon the two queens with compassion. She knew of their troubles, for she had watched as their land was consumed by strife. She had seen their Nexians suffer, their crops wither, and their homes destroyed.“Rise, my children,” the goddess Ram said in a gentle voice. “You are not alone in your struggle. I will grant you my gift so that you may help your Nexians and bring peace to your land.”With that, the goddess Ram stretched out her hand and created a glowing orb

Third Person’s Point of ViewAgathodaemon nodded. "We seek the blessing of the goddess," she said. "We are in need of her love and guidance."The priestess nodded. "Come with me," she said, leading the way to a quiet alcove at the back of the temple. There, she invited Agathodaemon and Asclepius to sit on a pair of soft cushions."Tell me, sisters," the priestess said, sitting down across from them. "What brings you to the temple today?"Agathodaemon and Asclepius exchanged glances. Agathodaemon spoke first."We seek the guidance of the goddess in matters of the heart," she said. "We are both queens, and we have each been blessed with loving and devoted consorts. And yet, we both feel as if there is something missing. We long for a greater connection with our consorts, and we seek the goddess's help in achieving this."The priestess nodded. "I understand," she said. "Love can be a complicated thing, even for the most devoted of souls. But the goddess is here to help, and I am here to

Third Person’s Point of ViewAs the sun began to set, Queen Ram and her entourage arrived at the gates of the Kingdom of Krea. The Kingdom was located on the coast, and its position made it a hub for trade and commerce with other countries. The walls surrounding the kingdom were tall and imposing, with soldiers standing watch on top of them. As they approached the gate, the guards signaled for them to halt.“Who goes there? "One of the guards called out.“I am Queen Ram of the Kingdom of Ice and my entourage,” Ram replied.The gates creaked open, and they were allowed to enter. The kingdom was bustling and busy, with merchants hawking their wares and krenians hurrying to and forRam had come to Krea for a reason. Her scouts had reported that a powerful mage was residing within the kingdom walls—a mage who could offer her the power she needed to defeat the Fire Kingdom and avenge her krenians.As they made their way through the kingdom, Ram couldn’t help but notice the stark difference

Third Person’s Point of ViewAs the day of the ultimate test approached, the tension in the air was palpable. The warriors of the four clans were busy preparing for the final battle, sharpening their swords and polishing their armor. Asclepius, the Goddess of the Hunt, was overseeing the preparations from her throne on Mount Krea.She had summoned the four champions to her palace to give them a final pep talk before the battle. As they stood before her, she looked at them with pride in her eyes."You have all come a long way since I first chose you as champions," she said. "You have faced many challenges, and you have overcome them all. You have shown courage, strength, and skill. But the ultimate test is yet to come. The battle that awaits you will be fierce, but I have faith in you. You have trained hard for this moment, and you are ready. Remember, the fate of our world rests upon your shoulders.

Third Person’s Point of ViewThe chamber was unlike anything any of them had ever seen before. The walls were adorned with ancient glyphs, and the air was thick with magic. In the center of the room was a circular podium, and on it was a crystal orb. It glowed with an ethereal light, beckoning them closer.Asclepius stepped forward, her heart pounding in her chest. She knew that this was the moment she had been preparing for her entire life.Taking a deep breath, she placed her hands on the orb and began to chant. It was a language she had never spoken before, but the words came to her naturally, as if they had been carved into her memory.As she spoke, the orb began to glow brighter, and the glyphs on the walls began to glow with a soft light. The air grew charged with electricity, and the group watched in awe as the room was transformed.And then, with a blinding flash of light, it was over. The orb shattered, and Asclepius fell back, gasping for breath. The group rushed to her side

Third Person’s Point of ViewFrom the darkness emerged a figure, clothed in black robes and wielding a staff with a glowing blue jewel at its tip. It was the same figure who had previously attacked the group; their identity is still unknown."Who are you?" asked Hemera, stepping forward to confront the stranger."I am a servant of the Shadow Lord," replied the figure in a cold voice. "And I have come here to claim what is rightfully his.""And what might that be?" asked Hesperus, unsheathing his sword."The Goddess," said the figure, pointing their staff at Asclepius.The group gasped in shock. They had suspected as much, but to have it confirmed so brazenly was disconcerting."You cannot have her," said Hemera firmly. "She is under our protection.""Your protection is meaningless," said the figure dismissively. "The Shadow Lord is more powerful than you can imagine. He will do whatever it takes to acquire the Goddess."The group stood in silence for a moment, unsure of what to do. Th

Hesperus Point of View"You're one of the Seven Deadly Sins," I said, feeling anger and fear."Yes, I am. I am Blasphemer, the one who lures the unwary to their demise," he said, chuckling."What do you want?" I asked him, trying to buy time."I want the divine crystal, sun and moon. Give it to me, and I will let you live," he said, removing his hood.He had blonde hair and green eyes. He was young, no older than twenty. He had a handsome face, but it was distorted by his evil grin."I'll never give it to you," I said, holding the Divine Pendant tightly."I thought you would say that. Very well, then. I'll have to take it by force," he said, unsheathing his sword.He charged at me, and I tried to dodge, but my body was too weak. He aimed his sword at my neck, and I closed my eyes, waiting for the impact.Suddenly, I felt a surge of energy flowing through my body. I opened my eyes, and I saw that the Divine Pendant was glowing brightly. I felt my strength returning, and I felt invincib

Hesperus Point of View"I will," I promised her."Good luck, sun and moon. May the divine energy guide you on your journey," she said, and her voice slowly faded.I was alone in the room, with the necklace in my hands. I looked at the crystal, and it was still glowing, but its brightness slowly died down. I wore the necklace around my neck, and I felt the warmth spreading throughout my body."Okay, let's do this," I said to myself.I got off the bed and headed towards the door. I touched the door, and it slowly opened, revealing another room. The room was bigger than the first one and had a similar design. In the middle of the room, there was a circular platform made of marble and gold.I approached the platform, and I saw that it had a holographic map of the world. The map showed that I was in the middle of a large continent, and I had to travel through the forest to reach the temple.I examined the map and saw that there were two paths to take. The first was the shorter one, but it
