117 Meeting Of The Two (2/2)
Much like the beast that is Dashnells older form that lays hidden inside the Void, all Guardians possess this form.
A form that takes away all reason and emotion and replaces it with enhanced unrelenting rage.
Guardians would usually kill their own when one lost themselves to the madness of rage, but for this war they all accepted the madness they each possess to get rid of the Creed once and for all.
As for the Creed, they too are a race of Godlike creatures.
They spent most of their time wiping out and enslaving every race they came in contact with.
When they came to be unchallenged and finally gained control of everything that exist they started to massacre those other races as livestock.
When they cleaned all life from one section of existence they would leave the ruined remains and go to another location were the living had no idea about the slaughter that happened on the other side of existence.
They would go on to repeat these actions and would have continued till this day if not for the Guardians sacrifice.
As for why the Creed did not wipe the Guardians out before they grew to be to strong, well that would be because the Creed hunt for food in groups and refuse to share with different fractions.
They would even eat each other as they fought over which fraction got to wipe out the different Realms.
Each time a Realm grew to maturity they would go 'feast' upon the newly created life that sprouted from the slaughter they had committed long ago.
These feast birthed the Guardians into existence.
While their Realm was young and not being treated as anything but a slowly growing meal, the Guardians went around destroying any and all races that would cause their Realm to grow weak due to experiments or any technological advancements that would bring about a calamity that would alert the waiting Creed.
When the Creed forces finally decided to attack the Guardians Realm they were met with an ambushthat wiped out that entire fraction.
This is how the Guardians prevented their Realms and the various races that called it home from being a meal, from the repeated cycle of death the Creed created.
After that fraction was wiped out the Guardians knew the next one to come would be were they perished. It was also the war in which many races came to worship the Guardians as Gods and protectors of their Realm.
The Fraction that came and was the end of the Guardians alerted every Creed Fraction about the threat the Guardians posed to their long established system of growing food.
The war between the two forces was long, very long. Those who lived through it died, had children then their children died but the war still went on for generations.
The war lasted so long the races that once fought for their lives alongside the Guardians forgot why they every so often would see bright flashes far off in space.
The ending of this war had long since been ingrained into the minds of the Guardians who are now in the forms of various different beast. Some look Demonic, Divine or Spiritual in nature but each is the same, each is one possessed by the madness of rage.
It is a wonder how they worked with the common goal of wiping out only the Creed.
The Creed must be the sole reason for the rage that turned the Guardians into those beast.
When the Creed knew that they were about to finally met their end they did exactly as the Guardians did and left behind a single member of their entire race.
I do not know the criteria in which they used to select the one who would get to live but each candidate was young as well as a gifted prodigy since birth.
The hope was the same as the Guardians, to leave someone behind that would be able to recreate their race once they matured.
One that knew very little about the rights or wrongs about the world and about their own race that left them behind.
The one Chosen for the Guardians is Dashnell who is standing with us today.
As for the Creed who was chosen she is in a place similar to the Void that houses Dashnells other body.
Much like Dashnell she is unaffected by Time, even Lilly avoids her as we don't wish to awaken her.
As Dashnell was selected and sealed away by the Guardians, the young Creed girl was also sealed away but when the Creeds forces went to confront the Guardians in the final battle, an Elder of the Creed race went back to take the girls place as the only living member of the Creed.
He attacked the young girl, as he tried his best to kill her quickly and enter the seal he did not check to see if he had truly killed her.
She was left in a half dead state as the war went on and after both sides suicide against each other, the Elder exited the seal an created the creatures Dashnell would soon fight against.
They overwhelmed him and forced him back into the seal his people created for him, he could not save the rest of existence from the end that was coming the end the Guardians thought they prevented with their sacrifice.
He managed to save just one creature that trying its best not to be eaten by the abominations that the Elder Creed had created.
That creature he saved was the Creed girl who knew nothing about her race other than them choosing her and only her to live as they marched towards their deaths.
