The grand prophecy.
The end of the old
The birth of the new
Above in the skies lied endless light..
A creator
one who promises an endless paradise.
An architect of the multiverse
Incomprehensible to us..
A prophecy
A prophecy much greater than any before it..
Long ago
before the existence of light ..
before the existence of time…
He existed.
He created a perfect being, capable of perfect loyalty.
A son.
Together, the father taught the son the blueprints of the universe.
Through his fathers guide,
the son created marvelous things
Including powerful beings
Beings known as
Angels.
Angels made by immense power, each with specific tasks and roles to fulfill.
Despite their many jobs however…
every Angel had one SOLE purpose…
The purpose of serving their creator and
living in accordance
to his will.
One day however,
having created a perfect world with perfect creatures
and a second being
in his fathers image…
A prideful angel..
An angel who desires control..
An angel who desires to take
what is not his…
Came down to Earth
and tricked these perfect creatures into
disobedience…
Knowingly or not…
His one selfish act
had brought about
Imperfection…
Sin…
And
Death…
Rebel angels joined his cause
In hopes of reaching “true” freedom.
having brought into question the creator’s authority
how would the angels above know who to follow? How could they know if being truly free was better than what they already had?
How could they be certain…
if they did not see for themselves...
Does man have the capacity to rule over themselves?
Or were they doomed to fail..
From the start…
Is it better to live completely free, at the expense of an imperfect body, soul, and mind? Or were the limits to freedom set from the start, truly the best way to live life.
A plan was made to settle the debate..
Let imperfect men rule over themselves.
Only then could the truth be unveiled.
However, the creator promised, once it was clear that man couldn't rule over themselves,
Only then would he re-establish his rule,
and bring peace to his world.
He would judge those who disobeyed him…
and he would grant those who remained obedient to him eternal life
In a new world.
Prologue
It was 2 hours past midnight when it began. Gale howled and raced between every building in Ouranós. Trees were bending, chairs were flying, and the rain could be heard scattering across the floor. Tha tha tha tha. Small sharp bursts of rain splashing and slamming against windows and all the houses of ouranos. However, despite the chaos outside, the world sits still… No one could sleep and nothing but the sound of rain and wind could be heard outside.
Agios, frightened by commotion stands by the television, there, he watched as news reporters talked about the government of the Aperantos Empire, and their new alliance with every other world leaders to bring “peace and security”
Alazon: “With these newly acquired alliances, we can finally bring peace to the rightful land and make this land powerful again! We will begin by getting rid of all those terrorists and filthy rats in our lands. For this is gods land and we shall purify it once more. My first decision as king of ouranos and head leader of the worlds
Agios: Mom…. What's happening?
*Agios mother was frantically packing up her stuff grabbing onto her son's hand.
Cleatia (mother): I… don't know but we're leaving. It’s not safe here.
Agios, frantically searching for his belongings, grabs his thickest jacket, his emergency bag, and his baseball bat. “Just in case” he thought.
For a second, he paused, hearing his brothers frantically searching for more things. He heard crying from his little brother, who was running in nothing but a shirt and underwear.
Cleatia: BOYS WERE LEAVING NOW GET IN THE CAR!
Boys: WHERE ARE WE GOING!?
Cleatia didn’t respond to them, she rushed to the garage trembling,
Cleatia picks up her youngest son in one arm, grabs the arm of her second eldest one on the other, and orders Agios,
Cleatia: “Please agios, get in, we don't have any time…”
The boys enter the minivan, filled to the brim with food, clothes, water, board games to stay distracted, literature, blankets, and pillows for them all.
Cleatia: This should be enough until we find safety… (she begins to drive)
Agios: Mom… What's happening!? Why are we leaving…?
Cleatia: son...do you remember what your father told us before he left?
Agios: that he loves us and he would be back?
Cletia: Before that, he told us that if he didn’t come back before “the great alliance” we must leave immediately.
Agios: Mom… is Dad safe…?
Cletia: I've known your father my entire life .. he'll find a way to stay safe… He's the most stubborn man I know, but he always finds a way out of situations like these…. Just .. pray for him okay?
From behind the van, an Army of soldiers could be seen raiding houses breaking in without permission, Weapons ready aiming at the doors in front of them. People were fearing for their lives.
Cleatia begins to speed up.
The men noticed this.. And began shooting at the car.
Cleatia starts weaving and swerving frightfully for the lives of her children. Deciding that the city would be a much more dangerous place to stay, Cleatia frantically looks for an exit… nearing the forest of Ouranos, Cleatia drives onto a ditch deeply hidden between the trees.. The military cars raced past them… Cleatia grabbed her youngest son… Agios helped her with his brother.. And they got out of the car.
Agios: Mom… where do we go… why are we here??
Cleatia: Agios.. It's going to be okay.. Grab as much clothes and food as you can carry.. We're going to climb the mountain on foot and find some shelter. But you need to stay quiet. I promise you.. We're going to be okay, we just need to stay hidden.

Chapter 1
A 7months prior (enter Tharros Philiotheos father of Agios)
King Axiotimos, a man of great caliber who had solidified himself to be an amazing leader, had grown old and ill. In his old age, he began to suffer from a disease that caused him to have slurred speech and slow movements.His disability sparked worry in Ouranos. Kingdoms around Ouranos heard of the quick decline of the king, and decided to offer their leaders as temporary governors until a permanent leader could be found.
The kingdoms and their kings were:
Pyro: A kingdom filled with riches and resources that every other land desired. The kingdom belonged to the infamous king Alazon. He was known for being an immoral man, full of himself, and without consideration for the poor. All he cared about was the power he obtained through his riches.
Nero: A kingdom with a generous Queen, quiet, yet, deep inside of the kingdom, lies a huge flaw. The kingdom was corrupted, run by harsh militias who claimed territories and constantly we're at war against each other. The trafficking of drugs and people hid under this paradise of a kingdom. The Queen Anoitas, was oblivious to these corruptions and was voted into power thanks to the corruption of the militias who benefited from her senselessness
Xeros: a desert kingdom, mostly empty and desolate except for richness in oil which was collected only by a few elite. This kingdom was poor but contained a great deal of people. In it were many people left to find refuge. This kingdom was popular for the strict theocracy they had. These people were strongly religious but hated across the world for various reasons. The governors of Xeros, claimed to be chosen by God himself to govern the land, however, their self proclaimed righteousness was false and their true motive was to create an oligarchy in which only the powerful were placed in charge.
Enter philiotheos in a world leaders and advisors committee.
Philiotheos: You can't expect me to believe that a man who has caused mass deaths in his VERY OWN KINGDOM, to be a good replacement for our great king!
Ouranos advisors: Philiotheos please, our king Axios, was a great leader, but you have to face the facts. HE PLACED US IN FINANCIAL RUIN!
Ouranos is one of the worlds Greatest POWERS. Who else do you suggest could be able to handle such great power AND give us the stability our kingdom desperately needs.
Philiotheos: Sir, please, potentially consider Queen Anoitas, from the kingdom of Nero… she is a humble queen… and won't abuse this great power bestowed upon whoever holds it. Alazon is a cruel leader… he will certainly expel us from our very own kingdom if we let him take control… Sure his financial decisions may be useful… but he cannot
Ouranos advisors: Ha, yes, Anoitas is quite humble. But that's her WEAKNESS Philiotheos. You know VERY WELL what takes place in her land. She is but a figurehead. The entire KINGDOM is run by criminals, and her “Humbleness” is USELESS TO STOP THEM. Do you really want Ouranos to become a rat’s nest full of thieves and thugs!? We need a BOLD and STRONG leader. So, who can reassure us, so Philiotheos?
Philiotheos: Council of Ouranos… anyone would be better than King Alazon… have we forgotten the way he betrayed his own KINGDOM, sending into Exile, all those who were against his tyrannical regime? Have we forgotten his claims for world dominance, and his idiotic claims of Χριστιανός being the cause of world ruining… He is a blasphemous man! He himself would use this power to overthrow our government, he can destroy our society if we let him have this power so please don’t do it.
Ouranos advisors: That is called asserting power…you very well know that the people in charge of the kingdom of Xeros would not be any better. Let those money filled pigs in our kingdom and they would certainly run wild with all of our weapons and money Philiotheos… We have no other option…
Philiotheos: We do!... I… can take charge of any of my fellow patriots… they have all worked in the political field for years… and will gladly do what is right for our country.
Ouranos Advisors: Philiotheos please… you think anyone would listen to you or your group of rebels? You are but a young politician.. You don’t know what you're talking about… I see your only motive to be here is to try and take control over our KINGDOM… for that i must ask you kindly, to leave.
Philiotheos: (Standing up nervously) I’m NOT leaving until we resolve this issue!
Ouranos Advisors: Philiotheos we are in a formal meeting, and quite frankly, you are but a guest… we can remove you at any time.. As a matter of fact, why wait.. Officers escort him out of the building immediately.
Philiotheos proceeded to leave the building before the officers apprehended him.
Philiotheos: You are making a GRAVE MISTAKE AND YOU KNOW IT… don’t let our kingdom fall to the grasps of that man…
Philiotheos leaves…
