Part one
Creation

Long ago in worlds that most only cringe from in there darkest nightmares, dark things creep. Yet darker still are those, that in twisted pleasure create these things for war or just simple amusement. Three demons sat over a large pit of “things” Mako, Parta, and Leose.

Leose: “You know I heard talk of another battle front to the west the light ones try to attack again.”
Mako: “None since they can’t be that stupid.”
Parta: “But still stupid or no. They must have something up there sleeves to try to come from the west, the main armies lie there.”
Mako: “Yes true but what? Should we watch or start a special project?”
Leose: “I know, we’ll give them something to be afraid of. Not another soldier, a leader, no a conquer.”
Parta: “You and your schemes Leose, alright what is it?”
Leose: “Simple what have we yet to make?”
Mako, Parta: “Umm…..”
Leose: “A mage you fools. All these things we make to fight in front lines and be bashed up. Now lets make something to fight from a distance and devastate all”
Mako: “Careful Leose we might think you intelligent if you keep that up...”

So began the creation of a creature to hold unbelievable magic power. They left a name off to wait till its completion. It was to be huge, and to strike fear at first glace. It's presence would cause the world to cringe from it, but what to make it from? The three demons toiled for hours to find a good substance that was easy to get. It came to Parta over a feast. Bones, they were every where and could be made in any array easily able to frighten anything that looked upon then. Now they gathered piles of bones, teeth, spikes, plates, anything they could find. Carefully laid out over a huge table, the bones rested. Days went by as they rearranged the bones and began a list of spells to teach the creature. Weeks went by and the creature began its final shape, it was indeed massive. Easily over twelve feet in height, the three demons began their spell for animation of the bones. The spell took hours to gather the power for, and the bones glowed with it pulling together tighter to form the body. It stood and moved at there command, but had no soul of its own. Another set back, creating one would be out of the question, far to time consuming and complicated. Best steal and alter one later. But the three were drawn away from there project. The light ones did indeed attack from the west and although driven into the dust had severely damaged the army’s numbers. Mako, Parta, and Leose had to depart at once to make new soldiers leaving there project, and its plans to gather dust for weeks. Until a demon of a higher power came to the lab. The three had died in an unsuspected second attack. The demon Ouatie was there to clean up the lab for new masters. Finding the creature and its plans Ouatie took them to her master Bakau.

Bakau: “Ouatie my dear this is brilliant, you found this at THAT lab? I want you to finish it immediately.”
Ouatie: “Yes Master as you command”

She found it so simple, all it needed was a soul. Unfortunately she didn’t have one lying around. She couldn’t wait for one to come to her, so she fused the spells directly into the creature’s body until one could be found. Her luck, something else bad unlucky day, she got one… a mortal soul. She spent days of twisting and changing it and although unable to fully change it the way she desired it would suffice. The creature moved and stood it spoke in telepathy.

Creature: )Where am I? What and who am I? Who are you?(
Ouatie: “You are in Hell… literally, not sure what you are but for now we’ll call you a Litch. Yes, yes a name… we will call you Apoth. I am Ouatie your creator, mother what ever you want to call me. It makes no matter.”
Apoth: )My mother? You created me... what for Wh...( Ouatie cut it off.
Ouatie:” "You ask too many questions you will learn in time.”
Bakau: “it lives... sort of... I’m impressed Ouatie you have done well with this thing… you may keep it as a reward.”

Knowledge


As time passed Ouatie became a mother to the creature indeed. She taught it the customs of there world but more importantly she taught it what it was. A tool, but in being one herself she secretly taught the creature how to become its own master, a thing she had only dreamed of.

Ouatie: "No Apoth, your confusing the two spells again"
Apoth: ) They are so similar… how do you do it?(
Ouatie: "Do what?"
Apoth: )Bend to Bakau’s will the entire time can you not simply leave him?(
Ouatie: "I wish it was that simple Apoth, but I am his slave he owns me... he has since my birth my parents left me to him as a tribute for his blessings."
Apoth: )that is not right(
Ouatie: "Most of our world will not be right to you... your soul is not from this realm so there in you are different I Have to obey him you do not it isn’t burned into you, you have choice. Now we must get back to working on your learning"
Apoth often thought about the little conversions such as those they had. And to it Bakau’s ever watchful eye was growing more and more annoying. It had been over 200 years since its final “birth”. Apoth had learned to control perfectly spells that even the greatest could just managed to create. Which started much talking among the others, much of which reached Bakau’s ear. Bakau knew that Apoth was going to be dangerous and he saw that he could not control Apoth like Ouatie. But he did see that he could control Apoth through Ouatie. Blackmail was pretty much the only way. Which made Apoths dislike and malcontent with this world grow and grow. A shadowy figure spoke often with Bakau

Bakau: "Yes i'm very well aware that it’s uncontrollable, But i’m working on that
Figure: "That will not suffice and you know it. Every day it exists it grows more powerful and more dangerous to us. Many of the demons fear it more that the king of the light ones. He must try to sneak in wile this Apoth walks among us, and Ouatie. Are you aware of what she is teaching it?
Bakau: "How much a fool do you take me for? I know exactly what she’s teaching it. And ill allow it for now. If she goes too far I will end her."
Bakau was not one to step down from his words and he watched them more and more Ouatie was becoming more rebellious she knew that as long as Apoth was around none would try to touch her. This it self drew Bakau’s attention to her arrogance and the more frequent visits from the shadowy figure drew Apoths... the room they spoke in was always sealed. Although a simple problem for Apoth, it didn’t prove his power enough. Yet Apoth found that Bakau had a small fire lizard as a pet that he took with him. Apoth controlled the pets mind to listen to there conversions.

Bakau: "She’s becoming too rebellious I must do something"
Figure: "What could you possible do now... she spends all her time practily with the creature… I don’t thing I can help you now. You took to long and it will be the end of you… the creature is growing suspicious of you."
Bakau: "Yes I know some how it’s listening to us even now but i’m not sure how I should have put a soul snuff binding on Ouatie..."
Apoth left them to finish there talk it had heard enough... Apoth simply entered Ouatie’s room this time her bath time.
Ouatie: "APOTH! … Gees don’t scare me like that... what is it?"
Apoth: )Bakau means to kill you.(
Ouatie: "Yes I know, do you think he will act on the intentions"
Apoth: )So far he has never strayed from his words... the question is when will he try. There are few times when I am not with you this is usually one of them.(
Ouatie: "Well then…I need to stay with you at all times."
Apoth: )You taught me much of this world... if you do that then the leader of this world will command you will he not?(
Ouatie: "Yes that is possible for you to stop?"
Apoth: )I’m not sure I have never been exposed to its power.(

So from then on Ouatie spent all time with Apoth and Bakau was powerless to punish her… or so it seamed Bakau’s scheming lasted for days and he found a flaw in Apoth’s creation one Ouatie had not addressed yet he had to act quickly on it before she did… Ouatie seeped peacefully one night in her bed Apoth stood beside as he had been for weeks now Bakau and 4 other servants creped to the room with special cloaks on Apoth could not feel them but with the slightest noise they would be found but all happened to fast… Ouaties door burst in splintering through out the room followed by two large fireball’s which sent Apoth bursting into flames as 3 arrows of demon slaying ripped into Ouatie’s body. Seconds passed before Apoth put himself out only to find Ouatie’s limp soulless body. His boney hand caressed her soft cheek one last time, and then Apoth removed the three arrows from her body and carried her out of the room till he was standing roughly in the middle of the small castle Bakau owned. Ouatie’s body was stored in the Oubliette. Apoth put its hands together and formed a small black ball, the ball it self didn’t touch Apoths body but after creating it he turned and left the ball grew bigger and bigger eventually consuming the entire castle as Apoth disappeared into hell… the ball faded leaving behind only a smooth barren crater where the castle had been

Alone


It had been several days, although the news of that night ripped through hell in an instant. It took them the days to find where the creature had gone and hidden it self. The old catacombs, the place where many kings and rules of the older days where burred. Ouatie, Apoth reclaimed her body from the Oubliette and burned it, placing her ashes in with the kings. Bakau and many others had disappeared that night long ago. The demons where unsure what exactly Apoth had done to the place but it was really unnecessary. It was decided that It to should be destroyed. It proved itself too dangerous to roam free. Many demons formed a retrieval squad of sorts to bring it out of the catacombs. One went in taking a torch, for light it was a maze of darkness rittled with old dangers and several new ones. The demon stepped into a pathway which exploded in black flames. Hours later two where sent to find the one... the returned with ashes in hand, complications. The shadowed figure that visited Bakau often was there cloaked and hooded commanding the others “I’m telling you now maggots. This creature is not to be thought of lightly. We have seen but a taste of what it can do already... all will go... in line no go!” the group of 12 set off into the catacombs the figure in the rear. The next trap encountered was searing lightning, it claimed another. The followed the old maps to what would be the center, the king’s chambers. The closer they came the more traps then encountered. Slaying spears took two more, then a deep freeze one; wind blades sliced two into peaces. They where growing more and more careful, by now they where able to avoid the traps built with the place and merely had to deal with Apoths tricks. That in it self was much easier thought than done... by the time they came to the final chamber. Only the figure remained he found Apoth there standing behind a gold urn on a table

Figure: "By rights, no by command I must destroy you, and you dare to just Stand there stareing at her ashes?"
Apoth: )You could not destroy me if you wished. The only resin you stand now is pity.(
Figure: "Pity!! How dare you! Insolent golem!"

The figure raised its hands to throw a spell. To find his body covered in frost from the rooms lack of heat suddenly and him unable to move.

Apoth: )You will survive this night as a display of mercy... something you truly do not deserve. Leave me in peace... i want nothing to do with this realm. Oh yes... I would not disturb anything in this room. I'm sure you can fathom what may happen.(

Apoth turned and summoned up a huge gate made in bone that surrounded a reddish black portal. It said nothing more to the figure before stepping into it. The Gate faded into nothingness behind it. A few hours later the figure found himself able to move slowly again. He eyed the urn a moment before turning and leaving the catacombs.

Part Four
Ascension


It has been a little over 3000 years since the day of the Creatures leaving of Hell. The Creature was ever followed by the dogs of hell. Each time destroying them and moving on to some other place to seek peace from their clutches. It came to a place that seem out of there reach or so It thought. Apoth the creature found peace in this place. It was a simple place, full of things not to different than itself, and people just wanting to be away and happy. Here the Creature meet a Wonderful woman. It had studied creation for years and finally decided it was time to make a golem of its own. Apoth set into motion the creation of a flesh golem. Also in Its doing created a form to match this golem. It wanted to be able to interact with these people more. So it was done, all was well for a time. Then darkness grew over the new home of Apoth. He knew what was coming. Another attack its mind sighed "again" It thought. Something this time was different. The Creature realized this time would truly decide its ending fate. The Hooded demon from the catacombs all those years ago... Apoth could feel him, the demon Kiroshama. Apoth could feel his aura, his power had grown considerably since last they met. Apoth had not furthered his own power, it was never necessary. It was in this moment Apoth felt fear. It realized the danger Kiroshama posed to its new friends. It's loved one. Apoth could not risk her life in this battle. Others where planning to fight as well defending their home. A demon, a werewolf and a great mage like It self. Apoth Knew what must be done, it had been working on this for year. Finally it would have no other choice. The creature connected its mind to Kiroshama's.
Apoth: "Kiroshama... after all this time... why now? Why could things not just end when I left all those years ago? "
Kiroshama: "It could never end until you have died. It was commanded the death of the demon Apoth years ago... as such I can not rest until it has been done. You know the ways of our world. You brought this upon yourself "
Apoth: "What if we both die?”
Kiroshama: "It would not matter... my duty would be done."
Apoth: "I see... "
Kiroshama: "Enjoy your time to rest... We will be coming for you soon... Your friends will only delay the end... By the way ... The wolf is respectable... but will die and you know it. "
Apoth: "He knows it as well... I will save him if I can"
Kiroshama: "If you can... that’s your problem Apoth. There’s too much of the mortal in you. She was wrong not to break that part of your soul"
Apoth: "Enough"
Battle preparations began, an ice shield was created around the place. Legions of undead demons came and began to pound on the ice. The werewolf moved out side and gathered his mind. Apoth in Its human form Spent a few moments with Its Lover. The man out side began its painful change to become the wolf creature. The Ice came bursting in as two giant trolls crashed into it. Only a moment passed before the army piled in, straight into the wolfs roar, which sent many into a back step from the shock wave. The shattered Ice fragments changed into razor sharp blades and circled the open "door" in the ice stopping many smaller creatures from entering. One listening would here a song, a ringing tune. The wolf was a fury of rage, each swing of his swords spoke a new cord into the seemingly unending tune. Apoth let its lover sleep peacefully then slipped away from her. Mixing its two forms to use more of its power and still have the speed of the less cumbersome body. It watched as the Mage man carried the wounded demon woman in, which left the wolf to imposable odds. Imposable enough it seemed as the wolf brought down three armor clad demons. Wounded and battered the wolf carried on. Apoth emerged from the building and pressed out a wave of liquid darkness. It was similar to the ball it had used in Bakau's castle... Consuming everything it touched, But split around the wolf. The wave faded off letting even more storm in. Although time slowed as Apoth saw Kiroshama approach. A massive chunk of the dome vanished as a hooded figure walked into view. He cast down his hood and pushed aside the cloak. He was 6 foot, his hair was a dirty white and his skin was pail for a demon (some anyway) over his chest was an "X" of belts; over his arms were a leather like bracer; his pants seemed to be the same material.

Kiroshama: "APOTH! ... Come meet your end Demon!!"
Kiro wasted no time to enter the powerful hand to hand fight with Apoth... most of the attacking army fearfully wandered back out of there way. It gave the wolf the chance to rip many of them to bits while they were watching the fight. Kiro pushed out a force pulse to get Apoth from him. He lashed out with a lightning bolt. Its force sent the wolf a few feet before letting him thud on the ground. His fur crackled with the static. He raised his hands to do another, yet met with a fist in his stomach then another across his neck. He drilled his own in an upper cut to Apoth's chin. Their fight continued, different elements pummeled from each into the others causing loud clashes and bits flying in all directions. The two battling demons began to charge their power to unleash a final assault. A red glow covered Apoth and a purple one Kiroshama. A few demons where consumed as the ambient powers of each grew; sparking widely as they touched one another’s. The energies continued to build consuming those who were to close to know to move... Each drew from the latent energy; pushing out into a destructive wave at each other... Red and purple light covered everything for a moment. It faded leaving both with extremely angry faces... and clothes torn to shreds... Apoth’s jacket was gone and Kiro's cape was as well... his arm sleeves badly tattered. Then they both jumped back and muttered in their old tongue. The words echoed in what was left of the dome. Apoth became covered with the darkness, Kiro a dark red fire... Each pushed out there hands. The darkness rolled from Apoth, as red Lightning burned from Kiro. The Darkness covered Kiro causing him to yell out... Apoth became a blaze with the fire... The "power" in the air gathered on each biting tearing into the two demons... A shock wave ripped out from each with a loud explosion sound the light filled the air. The light started to fade showing several of the armored demon knights waiting to see what had happened... the darkness cleared from Kiro at first... He was left standing, in a pitiful shape. He bleed freely from many wounds. His right arm looked broken and twisted. Shortly after the fire burned out, Apoth stood towering in the bone creature form... Then Shifted slightly and the bones tumbled into a heaping pile... embers still burned in the bones and after a time reduced them to ash. Kiro watched as they did... Then pushed out his broken arm and squeezed the muscles... it snapped back into place but hung loosely. Some of the knights move forward towards the doors... some towards the Wolf as he tried to push himself up. Kiro barked a command at them and they stopped; then turned and vanished. Kiro looked in at the group inside... Then turned and disappeared into the distance... All the slain undead creatures vanished... Leaving the ash pile and the werewolf still struggling to get up.
Glowing red eyes watched the Inn from a far distance... They where joined by blue ones
Unknown: "Brother... your hurt...."
Kiro: "It’s nothing serious..."
Unknown: "Is it done? Is the creature dead"
Kiro: "Yes... come... I’m tired..."
Both sets of eyes vanished, taking with them an Uneasy feeling.
It was more then a half a hour before the human form of Apoth fell out of the shadows somewhere with in the inn. His body lay on the floor as an exhausted mind struggled to control it. He lifted a hand and a muttered word slipped from his lips before he fell into slumber. He was found and taken to rest. His battle companions tried to rouse him as they carried him into the inn. They discussed his deep, un-natural slumber. His body was not damaged too severely and yet he did not rouse, though his mind was yet at peace. Apoth stood in a world of glowing light blue, all around a place with no walls and no floor. Then a man clad in white stood but a short distance from him.
RithKu: "My name is RithKu. I felt that Kiroshama was here so I came to see why after he left, and I found you. You are the one known as the creature Apoth. I must say I am astounded. I am from the light world, and I wish to talk. Will you speak with me?"
Apoth found himself in a nod. There was little else he could do now.
Apoth: "Where are we?"
RithKu: "Your mind."
They talked about his past for hours before RithKu put a hand to his chin.
RithKu: "I have a proposition for you. It is apparent how you feel about the demon world. I now know that Kiroshama has a golden urn on his fireplace mantle. That should mean something to you. My brother was taken in the war, and I need to replace him. I need a paladin… of sorts. We will not bother you; though now and again will request assistance. I will give you my brother’s power. His armor and weapon will be yours. If… you can prove you are worthy to wear them."
Rith pulled a chest plate and a full suit from the glowing blue and set them aside as well as a sword. All where stripped of jewels and the chest plate carried no emblem He held out a mithrill disc to Apoth.
RithKu: "To take this means you will become one of us. Then you will place it on your armor. Then prove you are worthy of it by replacing all the removed power gems; your next task in finding them, will not be an easy one. Then all I ask is for you to remember which side you are on."
Apoth took the disc then pulled it to himself watching a snow flake composed of more icy shards than a typical flake design. Towards the center was a pure silver color. As it expanded out it became darker, till at the tips it was as black as the darkest pit in hell. Rith offered a smile.
RithKu: "That will represent who you are"
Apoth took the disc and laid it onto the chest plate. It made a soft click then the armor zipped onto his body a voice from the armor and the sword spoke to him. They where one living force that seemed to bicker as to who was the more important. Apoth smirked at it and looked up to RithKu only to find he was gone. He closed his eyes and found darkness. Sleep had taken him and he was resting peacefully now.

e_o i read every word of it e_e I MEAN WOW! DAMN GOOD STORY now if u excuse me...*trips over baf of suger* OW WHO PUT THAT THERE!
 
     
 
I thought the concept was very cool, but the story jumped around too much and there are too many characters introduced with no meaning for their existence. It made it hard to follow because of this. It did hold my attention though. Keep writing! smile
     
It was really good but it kinda went fast.

Is this going to be a book?

Im not telling you to change your story or style since it works well over all, the only problem I had was having the characters names in front of the sentence.

I had never taken the time to read it before...
I like the story, the plot.
It's quite dynamic.
Without making too much descriptions, I would have added a little more depth to the realms and characters. But that could have decreased the dynamism of the action... so that's a choice. wink

In any case: I would love to read the following... has it been written?? biggrin
Good job!
