1 Prologue

Our story begins during a time of peace.

A great nation thrived in total unity. Within it people were happy and selfless. Cooperation and peace were modeled by each of the 7 gods; the creators of this infantile world. As they passed their wisdom down to us mere mortals, 4 kingdoms were raised along with 4 monarchs who were given the keys and tools to reign forever. The Monarchs were loved and praised and the people were truly happy. Despite the four kingdoms, they thrived as one world. As the Gods had instructed, the rulers served the people as much as the people served the rulers. The rulers lived for eons while the Gods tended to their garden and prepared to move on to their next planetary project. All was in order. All was at peace.

When the planet was perfected the Gods moved on, leaving one of their own to ensure the continual succession of humanity. Despite this, after years had passed, the Gods were eventually forgotten and humanity passed their kingdom onto the next generation. Eventually even the ways of living long lives was forgotten and the rulers became wicked and wrathful. War broke out and spread across the land along with famine and sickness. Two kingdoms banded together and took over the remainder of the world. Seeking power and instigating chaos, they wiped out the other two kingdoms in less than 10 years.

One day a historian stumbled upon a record that reminded his king of the old ways when his great great great grandfather was said to have lived for eons. The record told of the Last God and her last known whereabouts. The king, going mad with rage and envy, convinced himself that any one who drank the blood of a God would become a God themselves; forcing their body to live forever, and getting the ability to join the other Gods in the Great Sky. He then committed his entire life to seeking out that Last God.

We can only assume he found her because he is now known as the 'Red king.'
