Chapter 5

The forest gave a shady and foreboding disposition as the almost black moon shone down on it, the dark castle lurking in the middle of the vast woods on this dark and seemingly desolate planet. The forest was quiet, save for the piercing howls of wolves far off in the distance, and the roars of unknown beasts that would put fear in the heart of any soul, dead or alive. 

This planet was nameless and unknown to all people in the universe near it, but to the prowling and deplorable inhabitants, this planet is known as Pahayag, the home of one of the oldest living beings: The home of Order, twin brother of Chaos. There is the castle, he lives and where he has lived since he was defeated and sent away by his brother, threatened with his very own life if he ever returned.

But that threat didn't hold, Order was back and ready for revenge against his brother. It was time for him to take the throne as the rightful ruler of the universe, not his inadequate brother. His brother is not the best ruler; so many wars have been caused because of his ignorance and refusal to punish his own children and also because of his belief in the 'goodness' of man. So many people have died because of his hesitation and hope. Order has been watching Chaos since that final battle between them and finally believes that enough is enough, no more wars or death will happen because of his brother's foolishness and his impractical idea of the world being good and how good always wins no matter what. All there truly is in the world are the evil and the people that try to be good yet stray off the path more than they should, soon ending on the path of evil.

His dimwitted brother, Chaos, believes that in every person there is a pure and wholesome goodness that is only further strengthened throughout life. But with every soul, there is a malicious and wicked evil in them that is strengthened throughout life as well and it is up to the person to decide which path they will fallow: Good or Evil? Right now, Order is sitting in his throne room, planning out what to do next to further his plan of universal dominance. While the surrounding area of the castle seems lifeless and empty, the castle is where life thrives. Monsters, demi-gods, immortal, and everyone alike live here. They are Order's army and follow his every command, all wanting to end Chaos and take over the universe. A few hallways down from where Order is, a tall yet pale man is scrambling towards the throne room, festering up what courage he had left to tell his master the news.

His master assigned him as the lookout for Earth; it was his job to watch if anything new or suspicious happened and tell his master. Something had just happened on the thriving planet, something that he had been told to immediately report to Order if it came to past. So here he was, practically bolting down the hallways, racing towards the throne room, of course knocking over people and tables in his hast. Finally, he reached the throne room and, after catching his breath for a second(he couldn't very well stutter and whisper the news to his master, it would take away from his presentability and strength), he knocked on the door, the customary thing to do when addressing the master.

"Come in." A powerful yet casual voice supplied from the other side of the door. The man, Geoffrey was his name, took a deep breath before squaring his shoulders, putting on an emotionless expression, opening the door, and walking in, closing the door behind him. He walked over to his master and knelt down obediently, looking at the floor, "You may rise." He commanded smoothly. Geoffrey stood up slowly, raising his head to meet the striking silver eyes of his master.

"Hello, master Order." He greeted politely and obediently. Order nodded slowly in acknowledgement.

"Oh yes, Geoffrey." He started slowly, "What news do you have?" He questioned.

"Chaos has sent his seven guardians and the two groups Vipengele and Cambiare to help the Olympians and their forces," Geoffrey admitted. Order didn't say anything; he just stood up and silently walked over to the window, staring out over his planet.
