DESTINY

Prologue

The Beginning of Our Fate

Long ago, in a land full of mighty gods and humans. The world feels peaceful, mornings are filled with fun, and nights are filled with laughter and warmth.

But now, it's not like it used to be.

Every year, every month, every day, every minute, every second, everything will always be the same.

Oswald P.O.V

A drop of blood fell from the body of a god named Mort. Mort fell with his blood flowing from his neck to the ground. He looked around him and saw there are some gods who are still alive, but he can see in their eyes that those gods are very tired from this nonstop war and decided to give up this war and let the winner rule this world.

"Haaaa... finally, Abaddon, the god of friendship, with the end of this war, we will jointly rule this world and will protect sentient beings by creating a new world, a new age, and new humans and animals and plants." said a god named Oswald who had just killed Mort. Humans who have still survived started to come out after hearing Oswald declare.

"Abaddon? Abaddon, where are you? ABADDON?!" Oswald shouted so that his voice could be heard by Abaddon, whose current location is unknown.

"Gahhh" a sound of pain was heard by Oswald. Oswald felt a pain in his stomach. He looked down to see blood started to stain his clothes. He looked back and was shocked to see his one and only friend had betrayed him.

"Finally.... the moment I have been waiting for years has finally come," said the god named Abaddon.

"Abaddon... why... are you doing this?" ask Oswald, while feeling a pain not in his stomach but rather in his heart.

"Isn't it obvious? that I want you to perish. I alone will rule this world and if you're still alive then that means, this war means it's not over yet." said Abaddon, while kicking Oswald on his back.

"Just give up Oswald, you won't be able to beat me." said Abaddon.

"Of all people, why did you become one of them? Why did you betray me?" a depressed voice can be heard from Oswald's words.

"You are a god, Oswald. you should know why we are doing this, there could be only one god who will rule this world." said Abaddon.

"I know that, but why involve humans too? They are innocent." Oswald said as he stood up from the ground. "They have nothing to do with this war"

"Oh come on, Humans are just a piece of trash, they will be only useful after they are born and useless once they are old and they will die," said Abaddon, while swinging his sword.

The two gods stared at each other not minding the stare they got from the other gods and humans who still survived. One was filled with hatred and the other was filled with a little of hope, hope that his one and only true friend would return to him. As they continued to stare at each other, Oswald made it clear that there was no hope of his friend ever coming back. They started running at each other and swinging their weapons. The fight continued without any minutes of rest, while Abaddon was trying to swing his sword at his friend, Oswald lowered his head and kicked the sword away. Oswald threw down his sword and pushed Abaddon down with his hand. Oswald sat on top of him and started punching him in the face several times. Abaddon tried to cover his face until Oswald cracked his hands so he couldn't cover his face and he proceeded to punch him in the face.

"HOW COULD YOU? I ALWAYS THOUGHT OF US AS BROTHERS, I PROTECTED YOU MANY TIMES, AND IS THIS HOW YOU REPAY ME? WILL BETRAYING AND KILLING ME WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY?" Oswald said as he punched him.

YES IF YOU DIED NOW I WOULD BE VERY HAPPY! HAHAHHAHAHA! And you always thought of me as your brother? HAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHA! Oh I'm so sorry about that but I've never thought of you as my brother. I've always hated you. Oh, you don't know how much I hate you do you? I bet you didn't even know that this war was actually started by me." Abaddon said as he got many punches.

Oswald stopped the punch and was very speechless by Abaddon's words. He gave him the final blow and stood up to retrieve his sword. He walked back to Abaddon and raised his sword over Abaddon's body. He looked at him sadly.

"KILL ME OSWALD! KILL ME! AND THOSE USELESS HUMANS AND UNWORTHY GODS WILL SEE YOU NOTHING BUT A MONSTER THAT KILL HIS OWN BEST FRIEND AND NOBODY WILL LOVE YOU, NOBODY WILL RESPECT YOU AGAIN" Abaddon said angrily.

Oswald stared at him expressionlessly. As he tries to thrust his sword at him, he suddenly remembers all the times he spent with him. He tried holding back his tears but as soon as he remembered everything he did was fake, he changed his expression from sad to angry and then he thrust his sword into his chest. Oswald let his hand go from his sword and looked up to the sky as if looking at Abaddon's soul going away. A bunch of clouds gathered to make the sky look dark. It started to rain heavily. Tears flowed from Oswald's eyes. If you looked from afar, Oswald's tears were invisible to the point of making the other gods and living humans think that he was meditating thinking that he was victorious and became a god who would rule this world. Oswald wiped his tears and started walking towards the humans and the gods. The humans saw the god's arrival and they immediately prostrated before him, while the gods were still standing staring at him. Oswald, who saw this, looked at them with a serious expression.

"I, Oswald, the God who has won this war, who will rule over this earth, promise that I will protect you humans with all my heart and strength. I hope you will accept me for who I am." Oswald said while looking at the humans who were prostrating.

The humans who heard this, responded to him while prostrating before him.

"And we humans are willing to be your subjects, promise to always serve you, promise to always respect you, we will always remember you until we die, even the new generations to come will also remember your services for us." the humans said while prostrating before their new god.

Oswald then looked to the side where the other gods who had still lived and said

"I know some of us may used to be friends or strangers or even lovers. But that war changed us into enemies. All of you know, right? The conditions of what's gonna happen when the war has stopped and it has its winner? You gods have given up this war and I'm the winner. That means all of you will be under me, you will not get to rule this world but me, and all of your followers will become my followers. I will let you do anything on your own but it has its limit and one of them is not to harm my people. because if you do, I will send you to the other gods."

The gods who heard this decided to bow themself to the new ruler of this world and one of them said their vow. "We, gods must accept that we are very shameful that we give up in the end. We are not worthy to be called gods. We are very grateful that we have been given a chance to live in this new world. We will promise to do anything if you need us. We will never harm your people, that is our vow."

Oswald turned his back on them, and started walking toward the edge of the ravine. The humans and the gods started to stand up to see what the god who had won this war would do. Oswald began to fly high while raising his hands to the sides of his body. He saw the condition of the earth that had been damaged by the war of the gods that had lasted for years.

"Hear this and look at this world that has been corrupted, blood has covered the fertile soil, these beautiful flowers have withered, trees have fallen, humans and animals have decreased in population. Therefore, I, Oswald, the God who has won this war and the god who will rule this earth, will make this earth a beautiful, comfortable, and peaceful home for all living things that live on this earth. In a way, by creating a new chapter for this new age, I will exterminate evil from this world. All living things, as known as humans, animals and plants, will be reborn into a new age. And if anyone is trying to destroy this earth and all the living beings come and meet me, for I will serve you by showing my power." Oswald said while praying.

The humans and the gods who heard the prayer, looked down at the abyss and were shocked. They see the land getting fertile, the flowers blooming beautifully, even many trees beginning to grow back. The humans and the gods were shocked again, they saw new humans appear one by one. They immediately went down with caution and greeted the new arrivals with joy. Oswald, who had finished praying, looked down and looked at the new scenery he had created with a satisfied smile.
