The New God, a name given to the one who stole the Upper Beings powers in order to salvage men.
Stories tell of his emergence from the soul of a new born baby. Just like a baby, he grows after conquering an enemy.
He is like a child for he never stops learning and adapting. He is the beacon of hope for men, a symbol of freedom and new birth.
He is the reason men have joined together, against their gods.
The New God is a ship which sails the strongest storms but never ravages.
TAMPAH, Ring of gladiators
Loud cheers filled the large stadium as the 2 meter tall man paraded across the dusty ring, stepping over fallen opponents.
" Tell me another tale. I want this one to involve more bloodbath." The deep and thunderous voice said from behind the tall incredibly large and heavy gates.
" Bloodbath my Lord?" asked the cinnamon skinned woman.
" Yes Enah, I want to be a man as well in this tale. I want to be a sailor."
" Yes my Lord," she said before clearing her throat.
" Many years to come, a great warrior and sailor named Lushantrus lived. He was as strong as ten horses and just as deadly."
" Horses?!" the voice asked as a beast with red eyes and black, evaporating face appeared.
Enah's eyes opened in fear as she moved backwards and almost fell.
" I cannot be compared to a bunch of obedient creatures!" he huffed, sounding like a furious horse.
" Forgive me my Lord! How ill minded of me to compare you to such creatures!"
" If there was another storyteller better than you, I would have devoured you. Go on! Continue!"
" Lushantrus had one weakness, he could not feel." Continued Enah.
" This meant that he could not taste the sweet fruits of love."
" Weakness? Outrageous!" The beast, Lushantrus said angrily.
" One winter, on his voyage with his men, Lushantrus stumbled across an island of farmers.
Being a ruthless killer, he attacked the civilians." She continued.
" Yes!" The beast marveled.
" He used his sword to cut open the necks of every farmer. Blood, it rained blood as he ripped off their hearts."
" Hearts, do you have a heart Enah?" interrupted the beast.
" Yes my Lord. Every mortal has a heart. That is why we die." She answered.
" Would you want to have it removed...so that you do not die?"
" I...my Lord, I wouldn't possibly want to live forever. Death is eternal rest for me."
" Even when you have your head relieved from your body?"
" Yes," she spoke.
" Go on then, continue the tale."
" The island became his domain, his home. However, there was a civilian who had survived his wrath. Her name was Enaha."
" You've included yourself in this one I see!"
" No I have not my Lord." She denied.
" I am not a fool. You seem to forget that." He boasted. " I bare more intelligence than other Beings except for Mena."
" Forgive me,"
