Called Upon

Chapter 7

          At an unknown destination exposed a revered elder named Sage who had fallen victim to the corruption of evil, causing him to forfeit his position of power. He lusted to enthrone himself as the ruler of the crystal dimension diminishing all the probabilities of hope. Restless and consumed by darkness, he heard news that the other elders had entrusted the realms to the gods, further fueling his inner turmoil.

Determined to plunge the universe into an era of darkness, he hatched a plan to release the hidden dark forces within the chamber of time, a place so impenetrable that even time itself could not escape. This chamber resided within the crystal dimension, an ethereal realm accessible only to pure souls.

However Sage, called upon by evil, discovered that his stained soul barred him from entering the crystal dimension, preventing him from carrying out his nefarious scheme. He realized that he needed to acquire the sacred stone, a gateway which served as a portal that would grant him access. This stone was created and guarded by the purest of souls-the elders, acting as a final barrier against those tainted by sin.

As fate would have it, Equilibrium, the god of balance from the realm of balance, was en route to visit his family when Sage caught sight of him. Recognizing Equilibrium as a potential hindrance to his plans, Sage swiftly materialized behind him, crafting a dark sword from the essence of evil itself.

He silently appeared behind Equilibrium leaving smokes of darkness to suffer at his previous position. Without hesitation, he plunged the weapon deep into Equilibrium's back, causing the god to let out a harrowing scream as his essence disintegrated into sparkling specks of golden dust.

News of this horrible act reached the ears of both the elders and the gods, filling them with heartache and guilt. Consumed by sorrow, they placed blame upon themselves for the tragedy that had unfolded.

Hyperion, one of the elders, had sensed the potential for such a cataclysmic event earlier but found it difficult to believe until the unimaginable unfolded before him. The bonds of trust and harmony that had once united the realms were shattered, replaced by a sense of grief and a collective determination to right the wrongs that had befallen them.

Once Equilibrium, the god of balance, met his demise, the sisters of fate were determined to bring him back to the land of the living. However, their efforts were in vain as the sword sage had impaled Equilibrium with was a weapon forged from darkness. This dark essence prevented the return of the fallen god, much to the sorrow of the sisters.

Unbeknownst to the sisters, it was the very sage who was responsible for Equilibrium's demise. Sage, once one of the revered elders, had been corrupted by evil forces and relinquished his position. He foresaw that without Equilibrium, the seventh realm, the epitome of balance, would crumble and be consumed by havoc. In his twisted desire for power, Sage sought to rule over all existence by finding a sacred stone hidden by the elders.

However, his pursuit of this stone proved fruitless as it escaped his grasp. This sacred stone held the power to create a portal to the crystal dimension, a place where dark, malevolent forces were imprisoned within the confines of the time chamber. Sage intended to release these formidable forces, thereby gaining control over the realms that governed the very fabric of existence itself.

As the realms swayed on the precipice of imbalance, Sage remained relentless in his search for the sacred stone. He scoured ancient texts, delved into forgotten lore, and traveled to the farthest reaches of countless realms. But his efforts yielded no success, leaving him increasingly desperate to reclaim his position of power and domination.

Throughout this noisy period, the threads of fate continued to weave the destinies of beings across the realms. The absence of Equilibrium's thread remained a glaring omission, a reminder of the delicate balance that had been shattered. The sisters of fate, burdened with the knowledge of their failure to resurrect Equilibrium, watched as mayhem threatened to consume the seventh realm.

And so, the tale unfolded, with Sage's quest for the sacred stone driving him further into darkness. Armed with malicious intentions, he grew ever closer to unleashing the evil forces within the time chamber, neglectful to the destructive consequences his actions would bring upon all realms.

The fate of the seventh realm, and indeed the balance of existence itself, now hung dangerously in the balance, awaiting the resolution of this harrowing saga.
