74 Something You Should Not Be (1/2)

A young soldier watches as the army moves into the metallic flying ships, the massive silver ships shaped like a spear tip can each hold millions of troops along with supplies for the trip. Hoping he can rise up in the ranks during this war is his goal as he clenches his fist, both his father and mother will be watching over him but he can not stop that. This will be his first time going to war and Lashar made a deal with his parents that if he can survive the war without their help he can roam the mortal realm.

Passing this test means traveling the realm with a few protectors but failure means another 5 years of training against Valara, this mother of his trains all his brothers and sisters once they reach the young age of 5. This year he will be 15, he has watched for the past few years as his older siblings left this planet to roam about the mortal realm, even the weaker less combat oriented were able to leave as long as they took guards along. His older brother Vesta left while he was still a child taking his wife and a few aids with him, while his younger sister Tianna also gained permission to leave this world.

He was older than her yet he had not been given the ok from his mother Samantha, she was among the few of his mothers who gave birth to a male child. When he was born he was always treated as fragile glass waiting to be broken, so his mother was extremely protective even having Valara be in charge of his training instead of his personal guard he had known his entire life.

To the side of this youth stood a middle aged man, although he was not in a military uniform nor the custom made personal guard uniform everyone knew him well.

This man is the long time friend of former Emperor Three Suns, someone who after the explosive growth of the Empire choose to retire from his position as second only to Empress Samara in authority in the Empire's management. Instead he went to New Teress were he became one of the few Gods of Creation the Empire had, as most choose to become a God of Destruction in honor of the Emperor who is the Origin of Destruction. Unlike his friend Three Suns he became a God of Creation as he had more information than the rash youths who wanted to please the Emperor.

He knew that after Creation or Destruction all would try their best to become a True God, who wields both Creation and destruction equally. The Emperor Dashnell has yet to inform him of how one becomes a True God but he was given a hint, that if he as a God of Creation witnesses true Destruction he will find a path were he can come to control Destruction. After this step one must find balance between the two powers before they are to claim they are a True God, then there is the rank above True God known as Void God that he overheard Valara asking Verena about but he knew that he would need to first work toward the goal of becoming a True God.

During this trip his plan is to follow his nephew Lashar around on the battlefield, this war should involve other Gods so he could not miss it and when the youth decided to join he was the first to agree. He was also the one to suggest this be a test for the youth if he wished to leave the planet an roam on his own, only to know that pass or fail he would still roam the realm alongside Lashar.

”Uncle Vincent look! Father is in the same ship as us! I wonder if I can spend a bit of time with him during this trip.” Lashar said waking Vincent up from his day dream. ”Calm down child he is most likely the one who had you put on his ship, that or Samantha getting Tia to arrange things this way. Let's just enjoy our time of peace before you throw yourself into the battles, you won't get another chance like this even Tianna was only given one chance so don't relax and give it your all Lashar!” Vincent said as he put his hand on the exited youths shoulder.

Calming his heart he stares up at his father in time to spot a smile directed at him, he once more clenches his fist before heading towards the ship.

...

Inside the bridge of the ship Vargas can be seen pacing back and forth waiting for Elder Ibrahim to enter the room, when the sound of doors sliding open he stops his anxiety eating away at him.
