"You wish, Ea. I surmount you in all things," I wink, then whisper. "Bottom."
Ea chuckles dryly. "We'll see, Viviendel, what you call me later."

Story of the Gods=Excerpt from the widely known Textbook 'History is golden'.Volume one of the 'History' series
At the beginning of the world, eleven stars drifted from the sky, entering the atmosphere of the Mortals world, and when the atoms sunk into the dirt, eleven gods were born. Made to ravage and pillage the race of humans and leave their beloved mythical creatures in hiding come out of their shallow forests and billowing caves.
Gunthor- The god of war.
Frederique- The goddess of peace.
Ishtar- The god of desire.
Ares- The god of Disaster.
Kaimana- The goddess of Water.
Anjuman- The goddess of Growth.
Abilene- The god of wilderness.
Abigor- The brother of Abilene and God of Death.
Saeva- The goddess of Cruelty.
Cozbi- The goddess of Deception.
These eleven supreme beings wreaked havoc on all humans, but right before they finally wiped out the mortal race, Ishtar- The god of desire- realized that his own clan created a half-human/ half-Laritione (Istars clan was Laritione, a type of winged creature that resembles a human/face with the wings of an angel all combined. They were dangerous if crossed, as they were master seductresses, and could get anything they wanted. You could say his clan was spoiled, but they just took what they could from the other clans.)
This became a popular trend amongst the other clans, and the only humans left were prized, and they were taken to a palace to live in. The gods and their clans never went to visit them again, and they could only hope that they kept up their health, as they helped their clans envelope and succeed, as well as grow in diversity.
Soon after; the gods grew tired of their positions, and went lazy with life itself. Immorality, they thought, was an awfully long time to be bored, so they decided to take their best warriors and give them the gift of immortality and power. They were called the first queens, and their names were retold so many times that nobody knows if they were even once real. They hid their face, but not out of cowardice, for if they showed their face, it meant that they were to start a war with another Clan.
As generations passed, however, the gift of power worn thin, and immorality became shorter. And the only way that they could keep the power was to steal them from other clans or get them from a powerful prince. And so they would marry the prince in hopes to gain his power, and as they reigned they would never be far away. The prince's presence gave the Queens a more powerful essence, thus giving them more power.
Queens defeated other queens and wore the title of their clan as a souvenir to treasure.
Now, there are classes to take to enter certain clans and be a part of the queen's circle. And only with the right education can you be awarded. Everybody gets educated in all the classes, and on the sleeve of their clothes, they pin the logo of their class. With pride, they walk, and with determination, they hate all evil clans that they pass.
There are now only four classes, and one of royalty.
The Class of Desire, War, Peace, and Disaster. They favor the Gods Ishtar, Gunthor, Frederique, and Ares. The class consists of Laritiones, an angel-like creature who favors lust. They like to interrogate the other classes, for their faces usually draw the truth out of everyone. They are beautiful but in an inexplicable manner. Their logo consists of a heart with pearl-white wings in a frame of gold, three smaller hearts toppling each other at every corner of the frame.
The Class of Water and Growth. They favor the gods Kaimana and Anjuman. They consist of Encantados's. Encantados's are mythical creatures who have a bald spot on the crown of their head in the shape of a blow-horn and are also dolphins when they shapeshift. You can usually find one with a missing hand or foot that is replaced with a fin. They can usually manipulate water and a certain area that consists of rich soil. Their logo is a drop of water inside a dotted frame, and a vine wrapped snugly around the droplet.
The Class of Wilderness and Death. They favor the Gods Abilene and Abigor, the siblings. The class consists of a creature called Bwardapuginin; they have really small noses, dilated, slit pupils, and mushrooms as horns. They can make the mushrooms grow large and often use them to attack. They are known for very small tempers and can be very... spit-angry if that makes any sense. Their logo is a plain pear-shaped frame with a tree and a small camp inside it.
The Class of Cruelty, Sarcasm, and Deception. This class favors the gods Saeva, Momus, and Cozbi. This group consists of creatures called Tomairsitkiz's. They have faces with veins popping out- the veins are usually a dark purple or even black, and they have messy unruled hair that usually ends at their shoulders with split ends. They cut with their sharp yet short fingernails. Their logo is a dark black frame that holds a purple face of a girl with black eyes crying black tears with dark purple lips.
Finally, you have the Class of Royalty and Affluence, who favor all gods. They consist of all species, as long as they are the rightful heir or related to the Queens in any way. They do not have to shield their face, but they mustn't have any photographic proof of what they look like, for if anybody gets a hold of the pictures it sets them up for blackmail.
All classes have a chant that is sung at every meeting, the teachers sing the songs and the students echo the small chants of pride for the Clan.
The world has developed and grown, but as it has, a few humans have reappeared. They have no power, and that makes them weaker, but they also have helped the world the gods birthed in the beginning, so they get help in return.
