Prologue
In the beginning, a being of immense power was born. This being created the multiverse, in each universe it left eight gods. But this being did not want any rivals in power so it made each god have their own flaws. The being gave each of eight of the gods their own element that they oversaw. The being's two most powerful gods he gave them power over light and darkness. The most powerful of the gods, Zeren was given power over darkness while the second most powerful Osirin was given power over light. Tresterian was given power over lightning, Keriayon was given power over fire, Lasyria was given power over water, Teria was given power over earth, Wyverian was given power over the wind and Uveron power over life and balance. The gods created worlds of beauty and stars that shined as bright as the gods themselves. With the permission of Uveron, the gods created life on a planet named earth. They made all manners of life dragons, humans, animals. But soon Zeren became vile and twisted being wanting more than just control of darkness. He waged war on his seven siblings to rule the earth. He used his darkness to create demons and hordes of unsavory beasts, the war was called "the Great War". This war waged on for many years until Osirin used his essence to seal Zeren and his army into a realm of fire created by Keriayon known as Hell. But before Zeren was sealed away spoke a prophecy,
"A child of fire and lightning will be the undoing of the gods"
The gods were undeterred by the threat and sealed Zeren away. After the great war, the gods ascending into the heavens. The gods returned to humanity and gave them magic by virtue of worshiping the god of their birth element. Some gods fell in love with humans causing offspring known as demigods. Demigods did not need to worship a god to strengthen their elemental ties because they were their own magic generator due to the godly blood flowing through their veins. The Demigod gene would only be passed down to one generation of offspring. Humanity began to rise to prominence as six kingdoms rose to take over their respective continents. These kingdoms were named Havalore, Krision, Falencia, Yuton, Labrinthix, Gertlan. In Havalore a daughter of the god Tresterian fell in love with the god Keriayon. Together they had a child named James, the child of fire and lightning. Now the story begins
Ch1. An unruly Demigod and some badass gauntlets
A brown-skinned teenage boy with short twists and fade half naked lies in a large bed with his large room in disarray, clothes, armor, and a sword placed unevenly all over the room.
"Boy! Get up! Dammit boy get up!" yells a bearded old Caucasian man in armor.
"Leave me be, Bertrum. I need rest." Said the teenager.
"James! Get lazy-ass up!" yells a beautiful young woman with long flowing black hair with a red highlight streaming down the right side of her hair and light brown skin and eyes as blue as the purest water. She was wearing silver full body armor with grey runes with swirling wind inside them embedded into her breastplate
"Aria? Is that you? If it is I ask you delightfully, piss off." James groans in an angered tone.
"Your mother and step-father have returned from the battlefield," Aria says in a slightly standoffish tone.
James jumps up out of bed revealing his athletic build and his blazing red eyes but returning back to blue like a calm flame of azure.
"Mother and that asshole returned!" James exclaimed.
"Put a shirt on," Aria said while blushing and avoiding James in her sight.
James smirks then walks up to Aria and says, "Is there a problem with me not having a shirt on."
Aria stands tall and responds to James in a slightly taunting tone, "No, it would just be nice if you put a shirt on we have a place to be soon, but if you want we could continue this later." Then she causes the air around to start spinning accidentally pushing Bertrum back.
James laughs then puts on all of his clothing, armor pieces and put his sword in his sheath. James's armor was dark grey with only a breastplate, two shoulder guards, and shin guards and boots. His armor was complimented by a red robe with intricate designs of flames and lightning and the black pants he wore under the armor pieces.
They begin to walk down a corridor which had different types of dragon skulls hung on them. They continue to walk until they reach the main hallway of the palace. The main hallway had all forms of fine art in it, sculptures of gold and other valuable items.
Bertrum says, "James your parents await you within the court. Aria, you may join if you please." Aria nods as the two them walk into the court.
The court was an empty lot grass with an aged dueling ring in the middle of it but his mother and step-father were standing in the ring. James called out to his mother who was a darker brown then James with eyes of a rich hazel color, was wearing the same thing that he was except her robe was blue. His stepfather was a tall dark-skinned man with a muscular physique with long dreads wearing a green full body armor set.
"Mother, Sir. Tybalt, how do you do?" James says with extreme scorn mentioning Tybalt's name causing an awkward moment in the conversation.
Aria breaks through the awkward silence saying, "Greetings to you too, Lady Nala and Sir Tybalt."
"My child, calm yourself it is too early for you to be blatantly disrespecting your step-father." Nala says chiding James.
"He is no father of mine!" James snaps.
"Do not disrespect Tybalt, James! Know your place as a child..." Nala yells but Tybalt interrupts, "Nala let the child speak. So, James, it seems you have a lot pent up aggression towards me. My only question is are only going to do these little passive aggressions or are you going to do something about it, boy!"
Nala facepalms herself then Aria gets in front of James saying, "Sir's may you both be at ease."
"No, Aria step away." James says with his eyes now turning a blazing red with small quantities of red lightning and fire running off of him.
Nala nods her head in consent to Aria as her husband and son were getting ready to test their mettle against each other. Aria finally clears the ring James erupts in a volcano of fire and lightning. Within a blink of an eye, James punches Tybalt across the ring until he catches himself with a mound of earth.
"You've gotten stronger and faster, James." Tybalt says nursing his jaw still lying on the mound. James smirks then discharges some lightning off his body then the lightning becomes runes that circle around him.
"This is a new spell that I designed myself." James says as he blasts fire through the runes of lightning causing it to become two dragons of lightning and fire spiraling at Tybalt. Tybalt creates walls of stone around himself. The impact of both spells colliding causes an explosion that kicks up a lot of dirt blinding James. Tybalt creates a small rune that shines green that stops all the dirt and dust in the air and condenses together around James into a cocoon.
"Nice try, maybe next time you will have better luck or choice in your opponents," Tybalt says in a jovial but firm tone. Then lightning and fire begin to burst from the cocoon.
"Hey asshole, don't walk away. I'm far from done!" James says as he arises from the burnt remains of the dirt cocoon, but this time he had two pitch black gauntlets with red lines streaming up and down the gauntlets and symbols that glowed red on the front forearms that ran all the way up to his elbows. James charges at Tybalt faster than the eye can see but his mother catches fist. The impact of the blow destroys the ring and shatter the bones in Nala's arm.
"Mother? What the hell?" James says with extreme confusion in his voice. Then Nala blasts James across the court causing him to crash into the wall knocking him out. Aria runs over to James to check on him.
Tybalt looks at Nala in shock then says, "You saw the gauntlets, right?
"I didn't think it would happen this soon. Damn that prophecy!" Nala says with anger in her voice.
On the outskirts of Havalore a city is being burned down as a teenage girl with pale brown with piercing purple eyes and shining silver hair wearing all black armor with glowing purple intricates designs and symbols engraved throughout the armor, floating over the city. She smirks in a shallow manner as she says, "And one enter the battle royale."
