Suddenly ty feels that he isn't handcuffed, he knows he isn't awake
how he knows this well he doesn't know. He does know that this isn't a
dream either, but that he doesn't really understand.
He also knows that there is a voice here and it's speaking to him. The
voice belongs to a boy with white hair dressed like some kind of
gothic rockstar. The boy is cute, but not really his type he thinks
absently.
"I resent that!"
"Huh? You knew what I was thinking?"
"Oh yeah, kind of goes with semi-omnipotent you know semi-omniscient.
The whole god gig thing."
"Wait, you're a god?"
"Yup!"
"What the hell is going on!"
"Okay the dealio is that I gave you the power. We call it the wishing
gift. Something you should know though is that your power has ... well
it's drawbacks."
"What kind of drawbacks?"
"Me" Suddenly ty can see the boy clearly, he has horns and red eyes
and scars on his body. There are wings of flame behind him and he's
carrying a scythe made of bones.
"What no!"
"Don't worry, I'm not all bad, but I am inevitable. You see your world
is slowly crawling toward the end. That would be me by the way the god
of ends and oblivion. You see when your world ends I'll be the one who
collects it, call me the global grim reaper. So your power is one of
those things that herald the end, the more you use it the faster that
end will come. I hope you understand what I'm saying."
"Fuck no!"
"Sorry no changing it, I mean honestly I don't like it either. I hope
you fight it with all your might and trust me I'm going to give you
the tools to do so. Unfortunately the wishing power doesn't work on me
so you can't just wish me away."
"That sucks..."
"Yeah I know, if it were that easy I would tell you to do just that."
"So you're really not a bad guy?"
"No, I think this sucks as much as you do, but I was created for
this... I mean it's my nature I can't change who I am."
"Wow that really ... that really fucking sucks..."
"Yeah, but anyway I can't tell you how to stop it straight out, but I
can give you clues and tools."
"Okay what's the first clue?"
"I have a couple actually, the first is elements and history, you're
people stopped me once before long long long ago. You have to find the
13 constructs the lighthouses that stopped me before and the 13
elements and the okai tugra that can summon and light them."
"Wait ... okai tugra?"
"Yeah 13 people each of a different race."
"Wait there are humans, vampires, werewolves, centaurs, elves, satyrs,
merpeople... that's 7 not 13."
"Don't forget catgirls, and winged humans. Also the elves are three
different races and the werewolves two."
"Oh yeah, but that's 14."
"Yeah unfortunately I'm talking about the 13 original races that ruled
your planet long ago."
"Oh wait, shit you mean I already fragged it all up didn't I?"
"Nope, luckily the okai tugra are immune well not completely, but
partially from the wishing power as well. Although the races are gone
they'll remain."
"Oh thank god, what about the lighthouses?"
"They aren't affected by the wishing."
"Good, so what are the elements?"
"Life, fire, shadow, earth, war, magic, light, wind, water, death,
mind, love, and spirit."
"Cool, anything else I need to know?"
"Well a lot actually now you better listen I won't repeat this and
you'll wake up when I'm done."
"Shit okay I'm listening."
