"Gather round children! Mama has a tale to tell ya'll!" Mama hekaya exclaimed while waving her hand in the air frantically motioning to us to come over to her. "Come now take a seat children, so I can tell you a story of the gods, heroes, magik, and adventure, just like my mama told me, and her mama told her. This is the story of how things came to be. Pay attention, and this information might be able to save your life one day. Of course, only if you listen well." Me, and the other kids gathered around her to hear her tales, even though we were all still very cautious of each other, and of her. We all crossed our legs, and sat upon the ground, and she started to speak again. "Now children this was a very long time ago, before time, and space as we know it..."
She continued on telling us her story. She explained that existence has always been a thing, but our universe was created by energies from that existence. These energies gave our universe laws, and from these laws the deities were created. These deities were gods, and goddesses of their own certain aspects of existence, but 7 of them were seen as the most influential to the rest of the universe. These 7 deities were known as Aurora the Goddess of creation, Kane the God of destruction, Eos the God of Light, Xyla the Goddess of Darkness, Typha the Goddess of space, Terminus the God of time, and Arcanimus the deity of knowledge. These seven entities were the first in our universe, and they took special care in creating everything from the smallest atoms to the largest galaxies allowing the other gods to go out, and create as needed. Aurora went around creating new planets in solar systems with a colorful cast of gods, and goddesses, while the God of destruction, Kane destroyed those things he found unfavorable. Eos created suns to brighten up the universe, and Xyla created black holes to suck the light away. Typha created more space for Aurora to work in, and Terminus made sure that time was ticking forward, and that the destinies, and fates were aligned perfectly. Arcanimus the deity of knowledge began to write in order to record everything that was happening. The deities all had their own jobs to do, and Arcanimus never missed a single thing adding each bit of new information to the library of the Gods, which was known as the akashic records. This went on for a couple million millennias, until Aurora the Goddess of creation created the Milky Way galaxy, and the Earth.
She thought this world that she made was beautiful, and was quite different than the rest of the worlds she had made, so she spent extra time working on the Earth making it more beautiful with every passing second. She ended up creating all the plants, and animals of the Earth including humans, and the neanderthals. The neanderthals, became a nomadic people, and traveled the globe, while early humans suck together in one big tribe known as the monad. All of the humans were happy, and fulfilled with their goddess of creation watching over them, but everything changed when Kane got word of the Earth's existence.
Kane thought the Earth was very unfavorable, but he knew he would need help to take it down, so he employed the help of Xyla the Goddess of Darkness to help him bring it down. Xyla agreed and sent a horde of black winged fallen angels to terrorize the creatures of the Earth. Once the army of fallen angels arrived on Earth they had one job in which was to destroy all Aurora created life on Earth. So they first started out by corrupting some of the humans by turning them into half angels half humans, that later would be come to be known as Nephilims. The fallen angels also took it upon themselves to create all manner of weird creature upon the Earth, resulting in all manner of creatures running wild in the darkest of places. After they were done creating mischief, these winged devils started destroying all life they could get their hands on until they reached the outskirts of the human monad tribe.
The fallen angels drew their black demonic blades, and went hard on the offensive pushing the humans quickly hoping to wipe them out with ease, before they could even realize what was happening. But, the humans were ready for them, and charged upon them with bows, and spears releasing the fury of the Earth with every strike of their attacks. This battle raged for a long while, with both sides taking heavy casualties, but the humans forces began to waver giving way to broken morale, and the routing human troops. The battlefield was bloody, dead bodies layed everywhere, and the screams of the defeated rocked the earth like the largest earthquakes. The humans were outgunned, and were outnumbered. They began to retreat as fast as they could, but in that moment a man entered the battlefield with his armor made of bone, and his spear made out of solid gold. He stood there in middle of everything, all the rest of the humans had retreated, and it was just him, and the opposing side. The battlefield was silent as he stared down millions of enemies single-handedly. He stab the bottom of his spear into the ground, and called out loudly "I am a Azurath, guardian of the monad tribe, and protector of the Earth, leave now, or face retribution!" The fallen angels were not impressed, and began to begin their charge on the solo warrior. Azurath readied his spear, and took up a fighting stance. He looked closely at the sea of black angel wings flowing towards him like a tidal wave, he was going to stand his ground even though he thought he could not win. He took a deep breath, and that's when they collided.
Azurath jumped into action moving like a bolt of lightning throughout the battlefield killing fallen angels with his spear as he went. The fallen angels tried to fight back, but he was a man out for vengeance killing whatever got in his way. He was like a man that was possessed killing violently, and without prejudice. His spear was like an extension of his body, as he stabbed it in, and out of fallen angel after fallen angel from all directions, twirling it around like a madman. Sometimes even throwing it into enemies, so that he could retrieve it later after piercing them from a distance. Rolling, dodging, weaving, and blocking enemy attacks like they weren't there. He showed his prowess with every attack, and with more skill than anyone could have possibly imagined. Black feathers, and blood started to fill the battlefield as he turned more, and more of their forces into corpses. After wiping out a good portion of the fallen angel forces with nothing, but his golden spear, the fallen angels moved back to form a circle around him. There was a break in action, and everything went silent for a couple of seconds. Azurath was confused, and was wondering what was going on, but he did not lower his guard. All of a sudden a dark colored blur crashed into the ground in front of Azurath, and in that spot appeared a tan man with short black hair, goatee, and beard, wearing practically nothing besides a fancy black cloth robe bottom, and had his upper body covered in tattoos. This man looked to Azurath, and proclaimed.
"Hello, I'm Kane the God of destruction, and you're in my way." In that moment Kane flashed over to Azurath with his fists clenched ready to punch him in the face, but Azurath blocked it with little effort, and said back.
"You shouldn't underestimate me, I'm full of surprises." Azurath snapped his fingers, and fire shot out from all around him pushing kane back, and burning the fallen angels close to him killing them instantly. Kane's body flew through the air, until he recovered seconds before he hit the ground landing on his feet a couple yards away.
"What was that?" Kane ask confusedly. "No entity besides the gods have powers like that."
Kane thought the Earth was very unfavorable, but he knew he would need help to take it down, so he employed the help of Xyla the Goddess of Darkness to help him bring it down.

Kane's body flew through the air, until he recovered seconds before he hit the ground landing on his feet a couple yards away.
"What was that?" Kane ask confusedly. "No entity besides the gods have powers like that."
"That's where you're wrong, Kane. All entities have in an affinity towards such power, if they know how to unlock their gifts. This is what I would like to call magik. There are three types that I have discovered, and I will have the pleasure of using on you today. These will be known from this point forward as mancy, shamanism, and clair." Azurath retorted. "Using these Powers I will make you pay for attacking the Earth! right here, right now!" As Azurath pointed his finger towards kane, and a bolt of lightning shot out of the tip of his finger, throwing kane back into the air like a ragdoll, while also catching a couple fallen angels in the leftover lightning bolt.
"This is electromancy! Kane! This is just one of the first mancies you will face." Azurath shouted.
Kane recover it again, but when his feet hit the ground he wasted no time, and shot a beam appear destructive energy in the direction of Azurath. Azurath dodged Kane's destructive wave, but barely. By using his clairvoyance he was able to see it coming, and just managed to dodge out of the way of it. The attack managed to break off a piece of his shoulder armor as he dodged deleting it from existence. The excess of the beam that missed deleted a good portion of the trees, and fallen angels that were behind Azurath. He waved his hand over his bone armor, and the armor reconstructed itself from the remaining bone of the shoulder pad. It seemed like they were both getting serious now, and took fighting stances for the battle ahead. Then everything went quiet again, as both warriors readied themselves to dance on the battlefield. Kane summoned up energy swords that were made out of pure destruction energy. Azurath readied his golden spear, and both charged at each other. Then what followed was an intense battle of spirit, and will, where both warriors did not give an inch, and keeped up with each other movements in an epic dance of gods, and mortals.
This battle went on for what felt like Millenia. Azurath released his shamanism allowing him to transform into any form of animal that he desired. This allowed him to dodge, and fight back against kane's energy blades, that would literally delete anything that they came in contact with. Kane was powerful, but because of abilities, Azurath still had the upper hand. Azurath gave Kane everything he had. shooting him with all manner of elements, transforming into all manner of beasts, and predicting every movement he made even before he made it. This made Azurath Unstoppable eventually allowing kane to get pounded into the absolute dirt. Azurath then rose up into the air above a very hurt God of destruction, and hit him with every element at once in a move that has forever been known as the seed of Ragnarok. Smoke filled the air from this attack, but once it cleared it revealed that Kane was on his knees defeated. Azurath went for the final blow chucking his golden spear as hard as he could toward the head of kane piercing his skull, and then later the ground behind him holding up his body. Water instead of blood sprang from his fatal injury washing the blood out of the nearby area, and moving it to a ring around him with nothing but the golden spear. The God of destruction laid dead, and the remaining fallen angels retreated back to the comfort of Xyla. "That was for my people!" Azurath yelled out to the world around him. All of a sudden in that moment more blurs crashed around him. He readied his weapon thinking it was more reinforcements, but it was actually the deities Aurora, Eos, and Arcanimus. Aurora ran to Azurath, and hugged him. "Who are you guys?" Azurath said as he lowered his guard, "Are you working with this so-called God of destruction?"
"I am the god of creation, you know me as Aurora." she said as she rubbed her head against him lovingly "I'm happy that you have protected the Earth my child."
"Yeah, really good job, kid. Kane was a pain in my ass since day one, so I'm glad someone finally took him out, I just wish that could have been me." Eos elaborated as he examined Kane's body "Quite a number you did here kid to think one of our creations could actually kill us."
"Precisely why we're going to have to limit these powers." Arcanimus interjected.
"You can't take away our powers what if we have to face threats much like this, again." Azurath snapped back.
"Don't worry about that my friend I have a plan, you will be able to keep your powers, but I have something else in store for everyone else. Go now, and return to your people." Arcanimus spoke Softly.
Azurath looked into the eyes of Arcanimus, and then Azurath backed away slowly, turned around, and ran to go find the rest of his people.
"What are you going to do." Aurora questioned as soon as Azurath left.
"You'll see my friend. You will all see, eventually." Assured Arcanimus.
Arcanimus took to the skies, and began to separate the humans into three separate tribes. One he gave the affinity to control the elements of great power, which was named mancy by Azurath, and Arcanimus called this tribe the Nakamoto. He sent this tribe to the east. One he gave the affinity to connect with, and become an animal, which was named shamanism by Azurath, and Arcanimus called this tribe Aldoorn. He sent this tribe to the northwest. The last one he gave the affinity of the clear sense, which was named clair by Azurath, and Arcanimus called this tribe Jumana. He sent this tribe to the southwest. Then time passed, and all three tribes live together in semi-harmony for millenia. Tribes transformed into secret societies, and spread their control through many different countries, and nations that existed, until the 17th century. The great descendants of the original tribes, became hungry, and wanted power, and took up arms against each other in the year 1666.
The leader of the Nakamoto's name was Takamatsu Tokiyori. He was an immortal Samurai, who mastered the way of the sword, and the control of all mancies. His powers allowed him to figure out how to become the first Elemental, or person literally made of the elements. He watched over everything in the east from India to Japan to Russia. He used his powers to help make the east prosperous, and powerful in all aspects of life, and was now out for even more power. The leader of the Aldoorn's name was Venia Missirien. She was a great commander, and strategist, who knew how to watch over battlefields, and battalions, and she was also master of the shamanic practices of the past. She became the first ever beast master, or person who could turn others into animals. She taught her people how to use sigils, which were magikal symbols that could release certain types of magik depending upon their design. Her secret society stretch from Turkey all the way to Britain. She gave hope to the people, and was always known as pure, no matter how many governments she appeared in. The leader of the Jumana's name was Ayokunumi Odimayo. He was a warrior touched by God, who was so skilled that he had never been injured, and he was also the first master of all types of clairs, so much so that he became the first muter, or a warrior who can mess with other people's senses. He was the person in his society to find the nesaja crystals, which were powerful crystals that had different magikal effects depending upon their color. The land of his people stretch from the Mediterranean to South Africa. He protected his people from all threats, and would do anything to see them happy, even if that means killing all who opposed him.
They met at the tri-corners of all their lands with big armies ready to march upon each other, but there in the middle stood Elder Azurath, who called out "Brothers, and sisters what are you doing here! Why have you chosen to raise your arms up against each other! Can you not see, this will not end well." The society leaders as possessed by their hunger, and power did not listen, and charge starting a war that would last 100 years, and because of this Elder Azurath was never heard from again. The sons, and daughters of the three societies eventually ended the war, but they all took heavy casualties, and decided to disband their societies scattering their members like dust across the world.
Later three friends by the names of Mason Collins, Takamatsu Jiro, and Auu Touma created the order of Secrets. The order of Secrets was an organization that specialized in finding people that's magiks have been unlocked, while keeping the order in the world, and keeping control of all Supernatural things.
"And that children is the story of how things came to be." Mama Hekaya, said wrapping up her story, while being pleased with herself.
Some kid shouted something out about, if she had a different story, and her only reply for that was. "I could tell them the story of those two wolves; Vertia & Messiah, but that's probably not appropriate for children, but this story did have blood in it..." She whispered under her breath, before I interrupted her by raising my hand. "What's the matter child." she spoke.
"That can't be how it happened? magik is not real." I said confusedly.
She looked at me, and then she began to shift into a raven, and flew off. "I guess you'll have to see, if magik is real for yourself." said a voice echoing into the distance.
"This is electromancy! Kane! This is just one of the first mancies you will face." Azurath shouted.
Kane recover it again, but when his feet hit the ground he wasted no time, and shot a beam appear destructive energy in the direction of Azurath. Azurath dodged Kane's destructive wave, but barely.
