Demitytes Bride

The God of Deceit

"The long history of Demitytes has often been plagued with eons of unrest and rebellion." ,read the book, A contemporary history of Demitytes. 

" In modern times, the rebellion has fought under the name of the order of the white lotus. Their insignia as shown below has many different variations, though most commonly, the white lotus is seen to be twisted around the tail of the serpent in a death grip. Many researchers believe that this serpent tail is in-fact a dragon tail, used to depict the anti-nobility stand of the Order of the white lotus."

Here Kashara traced the elaborate and somewhat grisly image, of the lotus stalk crushing a serpent tail to death, lightly with her finger. She was lost in thought, wondering if this image had any truth to back up this gruesome picture.

"Most recently, the known attack happened where the Royal Castle came under siege of the White Lotus, on the day known as the Black day, when the late King Decidus Nomber Eagus Draches Ryk and the Queen Seiler Werlyn Decidus Verna Bire were both brutally murdered by the rebellion leaders and General Eraiek Tisorne Verna Bire barely escaped with the crown prince Fallon Decidus Eagus Draches Ryk.

Most curiously, controversy speakers often say that General Tisorne was somehow seen to escape just as the rebellion broke in. It is indeed suspicious as to how he knew of the break in so accurately. Conspiracy theorists often say that General Tisorne was involved in the rebellion and broke away to save his life, but it all remains speculation.

After the black day that stains the history of Demitytes with its mass massacre, the rebellion lost a majority of its power due to the heavy losses it sustained. Many sympathisers were alienated by the gross violence and support also waned. Now the rebellion probably lives, as a small shadow of its former power."

Now, however Kashara knew the rebellion was gaining power. That much was clear by the fact that Fallon considered them a threat, and that they had sent in Fawier as a spy. Was it wise to ally with them? Trust them? Kashara sighed.

It was then that Kashara remembered that Fallon had once blamed Eraiek for his parents death. That day, in the baking place, he had said, " And whose fault is it that they are dead?" And Eraiek had fell silent suspiciously. Kashara furrowed her eyebrows. What in the world was going on...

Another thought hit her suddenly. Fawier had said all rebels had the insignia but told her he couldn't explain it and asked her to look it up in the library. But, if all rebels had the insignia marked on them, how come Fawier didn't have one to show her, or if he did have one, why did he not show her rather than ask her to check from her library?

"My goodness, " She thought, "all this espionage and intrigue was more annoying than it sounded."

She didn't know who to trust, the rebels or Fallon, or Eraiek.

Caught between the devil and the hard place indeed.

"The long history of Demitytes is often known to be strife with turbulent politics and violence. This has often been blamed on the mythology and pantheon of Demitytes which glorifies violence and gore. Styx the goddess of hatred, Nemesis the goddess of enmity, Perses the god of destruction and Uranus the dictator, often form the bulk of the pantheon with lesser gods such as Lapetus the god of death and mortality, Epimetheus - the god of hindsight and bitterness, Pallas the god of warcraft and Faun the god of deceit. Less darker gods and goddesses do exist, however most had faded with the flow of time, leaving behind only the most powerful and memorable gods. Some other gods are, Eos - dawn, Hyperion - light and Artemis - wilderness and Athena - wisdom. "
