When the world was young, there was a handful of supreme beings, all of which were - as far as anyone knew- nameless, faceless and responsible only for the creations of the worlds. After their masterpiece was finished however, they left the world of humans, sorcerers, demons and creatures to govern themselves, wanting nothing to do with their creations.
The world was a few hundred years old before the races had segregated themselves and created a feudal system of warring city-states and a lot of hunger and desperation. There were three major powers at the time. The leader of the human kingdom was called Merkose, of the demon world Epholla, of the Sorcerers Settin Ralka and there was no order in the world of creatures.
The three leaders all wanted the same thing: to rid their world of the others. But each kingdom hid its own internal problems and trivial problems with miscreants and thieves, as well as small rebellious sections. All three leaders developed the same paranoia about the rebellions however, and began to attribute every small violation of the law to the rebellion and began acting without mercy to secure their own crowns.
It was in the land of sorcerers one day that two young men, Chikanno and Teinama were going to be executed for their crimes against the state. The boys were innocent, and the public knew it, but Settin Ralka was determined to see their heads roll.
Teinama was to be killed at dawn, and he knew it. He sat in his cell staring out at the world, dark as it was it had to be better than death. Sorcerers never even had to know death unless the state wanted to kill them. He sighed what use was a population of immortals ruled by a man powerful enough to kill them all? Supposedly the man was in power because he was so powerful, but Teinama could not et the thought go. He looked over to his companion. Was he really sleeping? How? He shook is head and thought more. "How would one determine that they were the strongest? Where did spells come from anyhow? Someone had to make them up.
Teinama's head shot up and he kicked at Chikanno until he woke up. "Chi! Chi wake up! Wake up now!"
"Is it time to die yet?" The other man lifted his head lazily, "If not I'm going to sleep until it is."
"You're an idiot, one. And two, I have an idea. I can get us out of here!" He felt around for the rock he had been using to mark off the days on the stone walls of the castle. "There is no spell for protection against the king, and there is no spell for escaping from a building with a barrier set by the king correct?"
"Right. So why am I awake?"
"Listen! So, what do we do about it?"
"Cry?"
"No! We make one up!"
"Teinama, that doesn't work. Remember when you were a kid and you made up spells because you wanted to grow up, or make your mom say yes to a dog, or something along those lines? And they weren't real spells, right? They didn't work. SO why would they work now? Because you're desperate? I don't think so." Chikanno lay his head back down and turned to face the other direction, "Good night, Teinama."
"Sit up or I'll turn you into a woman." Teinama replied flatly, and with that, he began writing on the floor while he spoke, "Now, every spell is what? Just a complicated version of a more simple one, right? So. All I have to do, is take a spell that we already know, and combine it with other spells until it works. Unexpected ones too."
"Good luck with that, idiot."
"Did you say something, maiden?"
Chikanno shuffled a bit beneath his covers and screamed. When he, rather she, sat up, there was a woman where the man had been. "You psycho! Change me back!"
"I think a girl is very fitting. Now, will you promise to help then?"
"Change me back Teinama!"
"Change yourself back, I'm getting us out of here." Teinama continued his writing on the floor. he finally finished, tossed the stone and dusted his hands off. "Now, read all of the lines, not aloud though, I find spells to be more effective when you say them to yourself. So, read."
His friend gave him a confused look and stood to walk over and sit beside him. She read all of the lines and grew a confused look, "What did you do, combine all of the spells you know?"
"Yep." Teinama replied proudly, "Now, do it again, this time, think about what you want. Don't speak. Just think."
Within moments there was a man sitting beside him and Teinama was smiling smugly, "Now, sir, do you think you can remember all of this? I'll have to erase it you know."
"Why does this work?" Chikanno was taken aback, "I don't understand."
"Don't try to understand, my good man. It's destiny. Just destiny." Teinama stood, brushed his knees off and walked over to the wall, "Oh, and just a hint, when you're saying it in your head, skip words, mix them around until they equal something great. For example:" He put both hands on the wall and was quiet for a moment before in a sudden burst and a loud explosion, the wall blasted outward and the break of dawn was in their sights on the horizon. "Come on then, we've got a king to overthrow."
"No! Teinama, no! You're not that powerful!" Chikanno warned, stepping out of the rubble slowly, "Don't."
Teinama weighed the words for a moment and finally nodded, "You're right. I'm much more powerful then he is. Come my friend, today we become almighty deities." He turned and darted in the direction of the closest town.
"Teinama! No!" His friend followed as fast as he could, but, in mid run, Teinama disappeared. Chikanno stopped where he was, "Teinama?" He looked around. "Where did you go-"
"Hallo!" Teinama appeared before him just as fast as he had disappeared. "Don't be such a child, follow along, now." He vanished into thin air once more and this time, brought his friend along. They reappeared in the center of the marketplace among the people and received a plethora of strange looks along with a few shouts and a low murmur from the crowd.
Teinama proceeded to climb onto a nearby pile of crates so he could stand above the crowd, “Sorcerers, Sorceresses, lend me your ears!”
“Teinama! Get down!”
“I am your great ruler and supreme deity! I am called Teinama, and this is my squire Chikanno!” He gestured to the man trying to pull him off of the crates.
“Very funny! Now get down.”
“We are here because we hear you have a terrible leader, an awful, bloodthirsty - really quite ugly- monster of a king!” -The volume of the crowd increased significantly as the talked among themselves- “And we are going to rid you of his tyranny!”
The crowd began to cheer just as a royal guard noticed and overheard the spectacle and decided to step in. “You there! Get dow-” Suddenly he was silenced and he had no idea why. The man continued to open his mouth as if he were screaming, but he could make no words form.
At the other end was Teinama smiling, “These men will no longer oppress you people!” He leapt off of the crates and started off toward the castle as the crowd cheered behind him.
Chikanno followed with a worried expression, “Teinama! You can’t beat him! Please come back!”
Teinama, however, would not stop, and this time, when he disappeared, he reappeared in Settin Ralka’s throne room.
The king was taken aback but immediately called for his guards. Teinama threw his hand back in the direction of the doors and they slammed closed, however, leaving the two alone in the room.
“I’m giving you a chance now, Ralka, step down!” The man before the king was angry, and he had an air about him that the king recognized as powerful. His eyes began to glow white and his hands a deep red color. They grew brighter and brighter as he raised them toward the king, “Step down, I said! Now!”
He let go a fiery burst of power toward the king and nearly took of his head with a blast that destroyed the wall behind him and the throne that the king, just moments before had been occupying.
“You’re mad to think you can challenge me! I am all powerful!” The king’s own eyes glowed red and his hands had a dark, ominous onyx glow about them. He raised them to challenge the mere boy before him and hit him head on, laughing maliciously as he landed the strike. But when the smoke cleared, he saw that the boy stood before him, unharmed, as if nothing had happen. “Impossible!”
“I’m one step ahead of you, sir. Where you prepared only to oppress the people and take the offense, I am impervious to your attacks, or any others.” He made a gesture, throwing his hand upward and raining down an ungodly fury of power on the king. When the tempest passed, the king lay dead on the floor of his throne room and Teinama stood, his eyes returned to their usual, solid black color and he held his head as his body readjusted.
A moment later, the guards came bursting through the doors, running in, yelling at the top of their lungs, but they stopped. They looked at the boy and saw the king, lifeless on the ground. Immediately, they all dropped to one knee, lowered their heads and lowered their weapons.
Teinama took another few moments to register the scenario before he smiled smugly down at them, “I am Teinama. I am not your king, but your god. Now go, spread the word, and I shall spare your lives.” The men leapt up and ran away, shoving past another boy who was entering.
“Teinama! What happened?” Chikanno did not need an answer when he stumbled upon the scene, “You, you really killed him?”
Teinama was staring at his right hand, clenching and unclenching it, he felt power surging through his veins, “I feel good, Chi. I feel, mighty. Unstoppable.”
“Teinama, what you did was dangerous and -agh!” Before he could finish, Chikanno gripped his head and fell to his knees. Teinama ran to him. His friend’s eyes glowed a bright, light blue and he began speaking in an unknown tongue. Finally, the glowing stopped, his eyes closed, and he collapsed onto the floor.
“Chikanno! Wake up! What’s going on?” Teinama dropped to the floor beside him and rolled him onto his back. “Chikanno!”
The man groaned for a moment and his eyes opened. But the light blue color saturating the entirety of both of his eyes did not disappear with the surge of power. His eyes remained seemingly empty, “Teinama? What happened?”
“You tell me!”
Chikanno shook his head, “I just saw you, and, well, you and I were in cities, different cities and people, in droves, masses, they, they wanted to see us and speak to us. You healed them and they asked me things, Teinama. What did you do this morning?”
“This morning, Chikanno, I created gods.”

Over the next year, Teinama and Chikanno traveled through all of the lands. They made people into their followers. Believers of humans, demons and sorcerers alike. Teinama displayed his power and Chikanno saw the future. Everyone’s future. In tales, Chikanno would become the first seer, and Teinama, a living god.
It became so that everyone knew and respected them, and as the years passed, they became legendary. Soon the two were kings among commoners and gods among mankind, but it was not long before Chikanno met the woman of his dreams and settled down in Nonstrato, within the sorcerer kingdom, making it his permanent home.
Teinama played the role of a king for a long time. Elaborate palaces, parties and people met him wherever he ventured, and the only problem he met where he went was the concern that there was no balance of power. All of that changed however, when he met Nadia. . .
