as mortals we wish uponstars, upon greater beings

as mortals we wish upon
stars, upon greater beings.
and hope for better.

as mortals we always stare up
at the stars, but hardly ever
wonder if they stare back.

you see the stars are just as
alive as we are but far more
powerful, and far more distant,
but alive all the same. burning
away, bright and fast. and dying
just as we do. just as bright.

but far less kind. silent and
sure, not the best company
to be around.

because once upon a time,
an Entity far more powerful
than the stars in the heavens above, grew bored of their
companion ship. alone in His
own little cosmos, he desired
something more dear than a star,
but not as weak as the mortals
below . someone to take care of
things for him, to talk to and
love. so , he created children for
himself and the world he built.
four titans to call his own.

an eldest son to rule the skies.
a daughter to rule the seas.
a youngest son for the earth.
and a daughter for the hells
below.

these titans created for power
and love, but not of each other. and they all grew up hating
another and fighting for their
fathers affections. and from the
Titans became smaller gods.

and the world below them
grew vastly. seas tamed, hellish
creatures kept at bay , natural
disasters minimized and the
sky no longer fell as it did before.
the mortals below began to
praise their titans and gods.

until a line had to be drawn.

centuries after in His old age,
the entity told his children how
he was greying, decaying and
soon to be deceased. and he needed one of his four children
to fight a final time and prove
their worth. a test to see who
could rule once he was gone.

so, stripping them of their
powers to prove their true
worth he sent them to the
world below. casted out of
heaven, the four fell in
separate locations. fighting
three quests each, from mind
games to beasts to earning
a weapon given to them each
by their creator. until they
proved their worth and met
at the middle, to finish one
final task.

expect nothing came.
and gods know nothing
of patience.

they waited days for a answer, for guidance. only to give up and
about to take the matter into
their own hands, but for a fellow
gods to fall down. bloodied
wings and a bleeding heart,
the messenger goddess Dicere,
to tell them what had happened
as she died in moments to come.

The Entity had started to
destroy the heavens he created the moment the Titans were gone. with no ones to protect
them but themselves, gods
were killed and the bound super
natural creatures with them.

he had gone mad. a creator that
hated his creation. and only left
the wounded messenger to leave
a final message. the gods were
gone, there was no title or
heavens to look up to anymore.
and that he would come for
them one day to finish it off.

and in their heart break,
all the siblings responded
differently. the eldest with
weapons for war, the next with
plans and attempts to solve
what was done, the next fleeing,
and the youngest searching for
answers in disbelief.

but once again, He never came.
disappearing into the darkness
he once came from, the stars
closed in and he killed himself.

meanwhile the siblings
adapted and waited, and
waited, unknowing and unforgiving. they secluded
them selves and adapted their
own plans. waging wars and drawing battle lines.

Titans no longer,but thinking
pridefully all the same. they
grew old and had families.
and it wasn't until they
died that the fear and hatred
died with them.

their children recoiling the land
and rebuilding, hoping for a
better future and knowing the past was behind them. they met
on the middle grounds their
parents once did and set out
a new. setting up kingdoms
they originally fell upon. and
marking it as the middle
grounds. a peace zone.

a final kingdom.

they forged a crown out
of the metal the four titans
were made out of. and took
turns wearing it, through a
vote each term. the crown
and king of the lands chosen
by not quests, but thought.

no more wars. no more
famine. or fear. no more
waiting. and no more stars.

and all now know, some times
its better to take your fate in
your own hands. to not wish
on stars, because sometimes.
the stars answer.
