The Price of Divine Order
Voice: Amber.
Voice: Amber.
Voice: Amber.
Voice: Amber.
Voice: Amber.
Voice: Amber.
Narrator: Amber... The reincarnation of Buddha.
Suddenly the voice changes from a deep narrative voice to a soft, angelic voice echoing after every word. (Singularity)
Singularity: YOU HAVE TO WAKE UP!!!
Suddenly she wakes up in a panic and starts to look around, noticing that she's a float in empty space, filled with blurred colors.
Amber: Hello?
The screen suddenly goes black as the sound of clock ticking plays.
*Tick* *Tick* *Tick* *Tick* *Tick*
The screen gets lit once again, showing a golden clock ticking. Its sounds echo as the hands move. Suddenly it'd minute hand and hour hand hit twelve, the screen again goes black.
*TING* *TING* *TING*
The image of darkness is illuminated by a scene crafted only using crayons, showing a flock of birds flying overhead. As the camera scrolls down, we see an elderly woman sitting on a rock below the shade of a tree, flipping the pages of a book as children gather around her.
The woman: In the beginning of creation... Qi split chaos into ying and yang... which then became... the light and the darkness.
Her voice was motherly and had a special type of warmth.
The woman: Then came... our world. Ruled by gods. All hope seemed lost... after the defeat of the 97th rebellion. It truly was... hopeless... yet still... the world dared to breathe. And through the breath... rose the warrior. The world didn't need a hero... it needed a savior... and a savior... it got. Children. Follow me... as I tell you... the tale of Akoi... the god slayer.
Suddenly, an unusual silence fills the air as the elderly women's eyes widen, tracing the sky.
*BANG*
In nothing more than a flash of light, she vaporizes, only leaving black smoke and the book. Panicking, the children began running around, when lighting strikes nearby, the art style around the strike normal.
*Boom*
Suddenly, an entity lands in the middle of the chaos, blasting an energy output as all the children fall down, pinned to the ground by gravity, and turning the entire field in normal art style.
The man had elegant blond hair and eyes, was bare foot, and wore a white robe with golden accents and small golden arm cuffs on his bicep.
Next to him, on the ground, a black shadow portal appears and from that, flies out a woman with pale white skin, black lipstick and eye shadow, a sold black veil and long skirted dress, wielding a pole arm with a moon crescent on top.
Her dress had a lot of crescent moon motifs in silver and silver accents in general. From atop her veil holding silver outlines, rested a horizontally placed silver moon crescent like crown.
Nyx: Why still chant that mortal's name? His death's nearly marked 4 centuries. (Goddess of the night.)
Her voice was cold, soft and beyond human.
She plants the bottom of her weapon down on the ground as a domain of black shadows. As the domain collapses, all the children fade into dust, flying along the wind.
Indra: I told you we should've wiped out the human race centuries ago. These pests can retain history for so long. And they're clever. Such pains. (God of storms)
The man had long flowing brown hair below a helmet crown. He wore a golden sleeveless, shoulderless chest plate and green sarong-skirt with a blue warp belt. Furthermore, he held a lightning bolt as a weapon, surging with electricity.
Triton: It is amusing to watch their sorrow tries. (God of gravity)
Indra: Last time... one of the sorrow tries led to the death of a celestial being.
Nyx: I think we should just... report this to the supremes.
Triton, still holding the smirk, nods before blasting off. Nyx opens another shadow portal below her before falling in. Indra grunts before blasting off in a bolt of lightning.
...Mellord presents...
A golden furred human-monkey jumps back, dodging the attack from a small girl. He had golden eyes, a hair ornament on his head similar to two bells, a red ribbon each, and a golden head cuff around his forehead.
He wore shouldered golden armor on the top, fading into a red wrap belt then into crimson pants. He alas had a red cape with split into two after nearing his tail.
Sun Wukong: Is that all you got kiddo? (God of martial arts)
Amber: No!
She charges at him, trying to punch, but he dodges before backflipping up in the air. He lands on his red power pole with slight golden plating, situated horizontally.
Sun Wukong: Listen kid. You're wasting your anf my time. I honestly tried to give yoy as many openings as possible, but you didn't catch a single one.
Amber: And whose fault is that?
Sun Wukong: Yours.
Amber: No. You're the one at fault. If you'd trained me better, this wouldn't have happened.
Sun Wukong: This's what happens when you practice your excuses instead of punches.
Amber: Come on. At least give me some credit.
He sighs before speaking.
Sun Wukong: Fine kid. You did do better than last time.
He jumps off his pole, landing on the ground.
Amber: Let's go. Round 2.
Sun Wukong: No.
Amber: Round 2!
She charges towards him, trying to punch, but he plants his hand on her forehead, stopping her in a very cartoonish way.
*Horn*
Sun Wukong looks back towards a giant, mostly vertical mountain, reaching above the clouds, and sees a beam of energy blasting up to the sky.
Sun Wukong: Oh. Okay kid. I gotta go.
He lets her loose and she almost falls down.
Sun Wukong: The Supremes are calling.
Amber: Can I come?
Sun Wukong: Sorry kiddo.
He jumps up, grabbing his power pole as a small cloud picks him up, and he blasts off towards the mountain as Amber is left kicking the ground in frustration.
Amber: No fair.
The scene shifts to her lying on the ground, kicking the sky above in boredom. Then to her continually punching the air for pratice. Then to her throwing rocks at a tree. One of them hits and she cheers. Then to her eating a fruit while resting under the shade of the tree.
(PS: It was the same tree the woman was sitting under.)
Amber: Yummy!!!
The scene again shifts to her jumping from one flat rock to the other, but, tripping on a small pebble, falls down.
Amber: Ow. That hurt.
While getting back up, she looks far to her left, catching her sight on a book lying nearby.
Amber: Is that...
She, walking on all fours, crawls towards the book to pick it up and inspect it. She flips a few pages, stopping at one with a picture of a golden mediating Buddha.
Amber: What's this? ... "Accomponied by the God slayer, the avatar of light will liberate this world from the wrath of the gods." *Quick scrolling* "The alignment of the light spirits with mark the return of Buddha." What? "For the moment of reincarnation, every mortal will feel the the rise of light a the fall of its misusers. For a singular frame... every mortal on Earth will chant the name of its saviors. The true fate of all gods... is already decided." ?
She gave a confused look, trying to process what she just read. Then, she flips the pages, stopping on another.
