Ophuthis: Unfaltering Fidelity

Chapter 9: The Inception to Eastern Paramountcy, Part I

"Long ago, a world balanced and calm have stood before the disarray it is now. A world where no being is ever worthy of its inhabitants' concern. A world where humans are the only intelligent race that have carved its foundation to the world. Made many cultures and language, towns and cities.

Life before is life where 'worries' is not in one's vocabulary. Unified and organized, smart, keen and intelligent, they built structures belittled today, but feats yesterday as most hand built from bottom to its peaks.

Back centuries, the Mbüg Garden ruins of mountainside Mowma, to the Att'urf castle remains of the West GaCotta Island, are all just a fraction of many incredible creations ancient humans have ever conjured.

Although very easy to accomplish this modern world, all today must know that before the deities, there are literally no signs of the Artcraft system. Surprising to most, while seems impossible to live as others presently perceive, but true it has been proven time and time again.

Structures like the Mbüg or Att'urf, are much easier to create because of the blessing we have received. Transporting humongous objects have never been easier, and constructing similar, if not a bigger work, is very much doable, in just months.

The Att'urf castle, is even revived by the desert-people, making it their own stronghold by renovating and making it float above the ground.

As all historian philosophers must be in knowledge of, it is that it all started after the deities visited Earth.

When the Gods paid a visit, they introduced unimaginable powers that thought to be gifts to the kind humans. Gifts others worshipped, but curse some argue.

While neither are not wrong, neither are not correct either. But those who saw powers as curse, does possess some argumentative, and thought-provoking defense.

As powers rains from the sky, the world quickly became dysfunctional. All who had the blessing prioritized all benefits that they can, but not help the poor and weak. Drunk and full of advantage, they stood atop the pyramid of success. Being kings and lords for all to see, admire, hate and envy.

But their selfishness cannot outweigh the disaster that follows just a century and a quarter later.

125 years after the Deities' visitation, a catastrophe happened, Ophuthis was born. It was his fate to become the Dark Father we all know and fear today."

With no signs of expression, neither displeased nor indulged, he closed the hardcover book in color red after perusing a little over a paragraph. Overseeing the castle he owns, and the sky stagnant and mercurial, from a window of this castle's lone yet grand library.

He visited this gloomy place that fitted the heavens above, as left nothing to do but wait like an old and senile grandfather awaiting their grandson's arrival. Treaded the depressing shelves in old conditions, he stumbled upon a book that stood out the most.

A piece of literature that is about most of the world's history. A portal that led before the simpler times. The book titled, Hell when it Snowed.

Depiction of this yet to be proven dimension, are of a red and hot environment. Place undreamt of, but place explained punishes those who do any morally sinful actions. The title explains the weird and unusual state of the dimension, so long ago; it snowed on the place depicted to not be of sign of water. This imagery is resemblance of the world as a calm planet, but fated and destined to be a chaotic, destructive mess.

Alone but the guards that protect him, irrespective of their ruler being stronger than them, manifold. This room is not particularly a one expanse place, but rather a ring-shaped, yet still not circular. With a hole in the middle that housed a yard. In comparison to the many open areas of this castle, the Diamond Field is incomparably miniscule.
