1 Ignorant Slumber
In the middle of a lush forest, lies a small and shabby temple. A variety of animal statues decorate it and looks like it hasn't been cleaned or repaired in a long time.
Every few days some humans would come to the forest where it resides and give a small prayer and leave some offerings. This time a pair of tiny humans in some humble clothing left some fruit and bread.
The little temple was not too popular and not too much was know about it , but one particular rumor always surrounded it. It been said that the offerings at this temple were always gone by the next day.
Some thought it was wild animals that came across it and thought it was a free meal, or perhaps even baggers took it out of desperation. None the less the superstition aroused the amusement of many and they continued to leave offering at the shabby little temple.
After the pair left, a small bird lands on top of the offerings. It pecks at the bread and it looks satisfied. Then a bizarre thing happens, the bird slowly inflates and its body started to go under a change.
Its feathers slowly started to sink back into the mass a flesh that gradually morphs its two little claws into 4 little numbs for feet. and its petit little body becomes as plump and tender as a peach.
The feathers are then replaced by nice shade of pink skin that is the surface of the creature. As it slowly continues to transform, a nice snout, a pair of ears, and cute swirly tail emerges out of its butt.
"Oink, oink.", the creature lets out a noise that sounds oddly arrogant.
"Not bad, not bad, oink. There's actually a pair of peaches, oink."
"Those brats, are pretty generous today, oink.", said the creature as it gorges on the offerings, letting out a oink there, and a oink here, and a oink everywhere.
This pig is precisely the main character of this story and the god that is worshiped at the shabby temple.
"This deity is pleased, oink", said the nameless god, smugly.
"I'll give you my blessings, oink.", thought the nameless god, even though it is on of the weakest gods in the world that has no power, so his blessing are worth sh*t. In fact, it doesn't even have the power to bestow any miracles much less a blessing.
Gods don't actually need to eat, but this glutton could actually be mistaken for a god of gluttony. Some gods see it as a sign of respect or as a token, but rarely ever eat offerings. Offerings are a sign of showing how much one want to sacrifice for the protection and blessing from a god.
In some extreme cases even the sacrifice human life is a representation of power and great respect for some gods, not that this hopeless god with little to no followers will ever receive something like that..... probably.
The pig lets out one last oink after it finished gouging it self, and let out a great yawn. With a few tears in its eye, it once again morphed into a far bigger form this time. Its pink skin is no more, its chubby body hardened into muscles of steel and imposing shade of brown covered its entire being.
It has morphed into a frightful bear! Or so it seems, in this case if someone where to see such cute fluffy-like form of a bear yawing, they just might forget that a bear is a dangerous creature and just straight up run to it and give it a hug.
"Yawwwwn! I'm sleepy...", and just like that the bear found a cave and went into hibernation in the middle of spring. This could possibly make it be mistaken as god of laziness as well.
As our main character went into its deep slumber an ominous aura appears out of nowhere in the world. It reeks of evil energy and is by no means here on friendly terms.
The first to notice were of course the most powerful beings within the world. Several figures looked up at the sky, pointed at the direction of where the aura originated from.
A man with golden armor frowns, another rugged person with a huge sword stops forging his sword from the flames of a volcano, like wise stared in the same direction, and a beautiful woman whose cloths seem to be made of rainbows furrows her brows in worry.
This aura isn't just noticed by the powerful gods, it was not limited to the immortals, but powerful mortal individuals as well. Sovereigns of countries took notice, heroes of various places had a deep sensitivity of danger, and oracles started to predict it was the end of the world.
"Its coming.", though each and every single one of theses extrodinary beings.
At this time the beings stoped what they where doing and they took to the skies without hesitation, all kinds of forms can be seen. Some where in forms of mythical animals, some are humans in shiny armor, and some where even in shapes of inanimate things like water or fire. In all shapes and forms, the one thing they had in common where hardened faces that says they are ready to do battle.
They knew it was a threat and together they hoped to oppose it. As a huge crowd of mighty beings gather and as more are added to the group, the pressure gradually increases with the combined forces of so many figures.
Their aura and presence is immense, but the next moment, the massive crowd of powerful deities suddenly split and their aura immediately lessen as they respectfully made way for a golden figure. With his presence the unease of the god lessened considerably.
The mood was still grim as these gods and goddesses have never faced such a situation. While they are worried for the out come they are still gods after all! They are the most powerful beings in the world and they naturally had the ego and arrogance to back it up. They naturally banded together to repel the threat.
"Foul thing, what is your purpose for intruding in our world?", said the golden figure in an imposing manner.
"Oh? A being that actually wields the polar opposite of my own authority?", said some one in a provocative voice. The wicked energy flickered and a dark figure emerges from a crack in space. Its aura in no way lacked compared to the golden figure.
As the figure spoke, a vast amount of portals appears. Other figures emerge and their forms were just as bizarre as the other side. Their auras are not as powerful as the dark figure, but they were not any more inferior as the other side.
Both leaders face each other, the golden figure and the dark figure didn't speak much. The golden figure found the dark figure disturbing and felt a natural dislike for the dark figure.
The same sensation could be felt form the dark figure and both had an intense urge to kill the other. They both silently started to gauging one another's strength and trying to get a read on each other. After an unknown amount of time, all hell breaks loose!
It was war with astronomical consequences! This is not some minor mortal conflict, it was at the god level!
The sky was lit up of a multitude of colors, the land quaked constantly, and the sea churned. At some times the temperature was scorching hot, and other times freezing.
Powers clashed and the world was in disarray. The lower beings of the world where utterly confused and as far as they knew, they thought it was the end of the world. The world was constantly reshaped and molded with different atmosphere, landscape, and seas.
As all this happens, a certain ignorant bear rolls in its sleep. With a smack of its lips, it started to snore...
