章 29: Beginning of Creation [P4Final]
Eos was the first titan to awake. Like all the titan race, she was larger than any naturally occurring celestial body with a gargantuan form.
Her body was graceful and sleek, her skin shone like glittering diamonds and beautiful crystals covered her body protecting various areas. Long quartz like hair hung down to her bottom and her eyes shone like two violet stars. Her face was the very image of a beautiful goddess, flawless and perfect.
"Mmm..?" Eos groaned and rubbed her big purple eyes tiredly creaking a deafening grinding sound.
She had awoken in a vast endless field of nothing but empty dirt for countless miles. She sat silently as she observed her surroundings.
She turned her head from side to side curiously, surrounding her were various humanoid figures all as large as herself, some even larger.
All were laying down on the ground peacefully asleep. One in particular was massive and snoring loudly enough to cause the earth below her feet to tremble. He had a bulky figure, not muscled or fat. Just sturdy. His skin was similar to the earth below her feet only extremely vibrant like the difference between a withered tree and a young sapling.
As she continued looked around curiously, suddenly a pain came from her head as if her mind was splitting. What came to her mind were words, concepts and thought, information about crystals, Qi and the limitless energies of the universe and finally an image of a mountain, it was tall and grand beyond understanding. It was peerlessly white and sharp, piercing through the clouds that covered it's colossal base like a blanket. It glowed a holy radiance as if it were the center of all things.
Eos shivered as she slowly turned around and a gasp escaped her mouth. The holy mountain in her mind was right behind her!
Eos stared up the mountain in awe. Even though her body was massive, compared to the mountain she was like an ant, a grain of sand.
From atop the holy mountain came an angelic voice that left a tingling sensation in Eos's ears. "Wake your brothers and sisters then shape the four heavens with your powers!"
The voice left Eos feeling warm and comfortable as if she had just been embraced by.. her mother.
There was no other thought in her mind other than completing the mysterious voice's task. Her reverence towards the mysterious being atop the mountain had long passed normality, it was like there was an inborn passion within her that bloomed the moment she heard that angelic voice.
One by one she woke her siblings from their slumber, some were easier to wake than others. The snoring giant required a few firm slaps to the face. As the awakened titans gained their bearing, each of them received the same experience she had when streams of information was burned into her mind.
Their names came to them naturally as if they were born with them and their abilities manifested quickly as they all discovered, with the information surging into their minds it became quite easy to master their bodies and their various strengths.
Their abilities varied, the snoring titan who's name she found out was Eon had the abilities over the earth, the solid ground under her feet. Another titan had the abilities over water in all it's fluidity and there was also titaness who controlled heavenly lightning.
There were many titans and each of them would be vital in the creation of the four heavens.
With their immense powers they shaped the worlds with mountains, deserts and seas. Breathed life onto the lands in the form of trees, plants, beasts and monsters. Revitalized the earth with spiritual veins, ores, crystals. Each heaven was separated by a boundary but it was effortless for the titans to pass through it.
Each one of the four heavens was molded depending on how much energy it radiated for example, the first heaven emitted the least spiritual energy thus it was the most ordinary. The fourth heaven birthed spiritual energy at an insane rate and therefore was extraordinary in every way.
Countless years passed as the titans continued their work diligently. It was monotonous work but it filled them with joy.
Alas, their purpose had finally been fulfilled. The day had come when they would finally finish their work.
...
The first heaven was the most ordinary among the four realms Ariel had created, among the expansive hills and vast mountains populated with 100 meter tall trees a colossal being walked. She was made of beautiful crystal and her form made the nearby trees and mountains look like dust and sand respectively.
Although she could easily destroy it all with a missplaced step, she seemed to only phase through anything she touched, only leaving a gentle breeze in her wake.
A beautiful smile hung on Eos's lips as she wave her hand towards the ground. Little lights sprinkled to the ground like little seeds that would eventually form into magical crystals. They would fertilize the soil with spiritual Qi making the plantlife and the animals flourish.
In the distance was another titan with a great beard of tentacles that hung from his face, long horns that cupped his octopus like head, scaly skin and thin wings on his back. His visage was quite horrendous and frightening.
He was Cthulhu, the titan of beasts and monsters. Currently he was the only titan that had been given permission to populate the heavens with life and he saw that as a great honor.
"It's a shame.. " Cthulhu grumbled with a haunting yet dominating voice.
Eos walked over gracefully, she asked curiously with a gentle humming voice like the vibration of crystals. "Little brother, what's wrong?"
Cthulhu shook his tentacle head from side to side as he sighed. "The spiritual energy here is so thin big sister, the beasts and monsters I can create here are so limited. If I were to create a behemoth which is quite common in the third heaven, it would instantly go into hibernation due to the sparsity of energy which would not be able to support it's form. Eventually it would die from starvation."
His tentacles rippled as little tiny beasts appeared below on the nearby ground. They were quite large if you compare them to the 100 meter tall trees but still merely specs to the titans standing above them.
They roared loudly as they ran deeper into the forests in massive hordes.
Eos patted her brother's shoulder and consoled him. "Don't worry little brother, when we return to the fourth heaven you can create some much better beasts."
Cthulhu's snake like eyes brightened. "Haha! you're right sister."
Suddenly a familiar voice resounded within all the titan's minds. "You're work is completed my creations, return and receive your reward."
Both Eos and Cthulhu shouted in excitement.
"Sister.. I never knew what you meant before when you described the Allmother's voice but now I know. It's beautiful!" Cthluhu wept as a tear left his eye falling to the land below. The tear burrowed deep within the earth, disappearing from sight.
Eos beamed as she agreed. The Allmother had only spoken to her, leaving her as the one to guide the titans. A few titans had fought against her for the position of leader but they were quickly defeated as she was the most powerful among all titans.
The two flew quickly towards the fourth heaven as fast as their bodies could carry them.
The titans had all gathered at the base of the mountain which they had all come to call the sacred mountain. The happiness of finally completing their task still hadn't worn off as they chattered among themselves excitedly with their thunderous voices.
What interrupted them was a holy and powerful voice coming from the tip of the mountain.
"Titans, thank you for your hard work. The four heavens truly look beautiful, I couldn't have done it better myself"
The titans listened to the angelic voice reverently, all of them except for Eos had never heard their creators voice before and only heard tales from her after she recalled her distant first memories.
"Your reward will be the fourth heaven, the most beautiful and perfect realm. Live as you please but from now on, you are forbidden from descending to the lower heavens." The voice gradually faded away.
The titans looked blankly at the mountain, although a few were feeling happy, every titan felt something else.
They felt lost for the first time since their inception. Before they had a purpose, a goal.. But now they had an empty feeling brewing within, it was a stuffy like being constantly out of breath, it was not pleasant.
They turned to their leader Eos for answers and with a firm resolve she sought guidance.
Eos knelt before the mountain and shouted. "Allmother, we are directionless.. Please guide us!"
Her voice echoed throughout the fourth heaven with a mighty power.
"Oh?" From the mountain came a surprised voice.
The titans perked their ears up as the listened intently.
After a few minutes the voice replied. "Near the peak of this mountain are four doors, each have a test. Complete one of the tests and you may seek a reward or.. an audience from me."
A few titans gasped, a reward or meeting with their creator?
"But be warned, these tests will not be easy and even with your current strengths, death is a possibility."
"Within that danger though, lies great rewards. The energies contained within the four realms can make you stronger so train yourselves, overcome the challenges and maybe one day we'll meet.. "
Eos looked up at the infinitely tall mountain as her eye's shined brilliantly.
[One day I'll see you mighty creator.] She vowed in her mind.
The titans dispersed, some went to build their homes while some chose to ascend the mountain with eager expressions.
"Hehe."
While Eos was walking towards the mountain, she heard a giggle beside her ear.
"Who was that?!" Eos looked around with her beautiful big violet eyes surprise, turning around she saw nothing but beautiful valleys, mountains and rivers.
A little red spec flew in front of her giant purple eye.
It was a little girl with blazing red hair.
"Wow, you're so big!" The little girl giggled as she pointed at Eos with her dainty little finger.
Eos looked at the tiny girl with suspicion, she had never seen this type of being before. [Could it be a new beast brother Cthulhu created?] She wondered.
The little girl pouted in anger. "Uuu.. I'm no beast you silly titan!" She disappeared and reappeared in front of Eos's forehead and with a little flick of her dainty finger, Eos flew backwards and fell on the ground with a loud thump.
Eos rubbed her head that was still stinging in astonishment, no one had ever managed to make her fall before. Not one of her brothers or sisters could best her in combat.
"W-who are you!" Eos stood up and looked at the little girl vigilantly.
The little girl flew towards her and stopped in front of Eos's face.
"I'm Seris and I have a little advice for you." Seris replied cheerily.
"Advice?" Eos mumbled as she looked confusedly at the little fiery spec.
Seris with a mysterious smile that seemed to hypnotize. "At the top of the mountain you'll find four doors. Choose the grey one, it's definitely the easiest!"
"Easiest?" Eos mumbled dazedly, something about Seris's words made her feel light headed.
A glint of mischief shone in Seris's eyes as she nodded.
