Summer Land, a place where a soul goes after their physical death in their present life. They spend time with the God and Goddess and they reflect on their actions before heading into their next life. Each life, a lesson is learned, an obstacle overcome, and a step taken closer towards perfection. This, is mainly the belief of the people of Wicca, though others adopt it as well.

Although that is the belief, what truly is, is something that cannot be imagined, for a Divine Council rules over the Dimensions. Or at least that's the case this time around.

Here, the Divine Council consists of every god, goddess and deity whose name has been uttered from the human mouth. Each has a role to play in mysterious forces that push humans to do what they do, whether it be good or bad.

There is no heaven or hell, or limbo, there is simply a workshop and a meeting room. A workshop filled with many deities watching and enjoying as the people that love them, continue to invoke their reservoir of power and call upon them in times of need. Need, the true source of power, for, without the need of deities, there would be none.

Humans, the species behind it all. They invoke their gods and goddesses as they please and when they learn the truth, they feel as if they are responsible, as if they, in fact, control the Divine.

A foolish thought for a foolish species who pave the path for their own destruction.

It was around 200,000 years ago when the first homosapiens started appearing. That was no accident, it was simply the foundation for The First and Second.

The universe remained empty and ever-growing until the first two deities were called into work. Their original and first names are lost, to this very second, and the earliest recollection is Dea and Selene.

The early humans wondered and marvelled at the ground which they walked and crawled upon and knew, deep in their brand new souls, that this was the Divine. Quite opposite to the ground, they gazed upon the night Moon, whatever phase it may be in and stood in awe of it's milky and ever glowing light.

With the first two, it was only time before the third, and the fourth, and the fifth,...

The older the deity, the more powerful, thus Dea and Selene, the forevermore rulers of the Dimensions. Well, I say that forever is not very long.

Up until now, you know only of what the humans felt and did, not the Divine.

The Divine, the seemingly all-powerful and all-knowing gaze into the eyes of a soul and know of its every detail and memory. If they know the past, present, and future, why keep releasing something so imperfect into the Dimensions.?

Despite having experienced the Divine power myself, I still cannot, at least with words, explain what exactly that feeling is.

You might be wondering who I am and why you need to know this. Just know that my name is Ciel Facheux and I was the one who succeeded the Goddesses

The reason? Simple: because they are the ones who wanted me to.

Before we can start my story, you need to know the story that came before mine and what truly happened in the First.

You need to know how I came to be who I am and how I met him...
