Part I: Chapter 1 Revelation of the Defiler

Viennashal Iminz Goddess of Peace and High Ruler of Galaxia Prime stood out on one of the many balconies of her palace as she gazed out at the city of Alterria. Buildings that stretched high into the clouds and shined bright of the sparkling metal crystal as old as the Realm. She watched the dozens of traffic lanes full of hovercraft and airspeeders making their way from one sector of Galaxia to another. She closed her eyes and for a moment tuned out all the sounds of the city, she concentrated on the beings within the palace. She quickly was able to place her eight royal handmaidens, her valiant protectors who had been trained since childhood to protect her.

She trusted them completely and considered them her closest allies outside of the Goddesses. Her handmaidens had protected her for the past seven eons that she had been a Goddess. They'd been blessed with immortality by her. Her decision to make them immortal had come as a request by them because they didn't want to leave her. At first, she was uncertain of using her powers to do so but the young women had grown on her. So, in her mind it had been a no-brainer to make them immortal.

As she continued to focus her mind, she could hear the footsteps of the guards as they walked down the halls checking into their respective stations. She could faintly hear the thoughts of her servants and others who worked in the palace. Then she heard another, this one's thoughts were focused on her and only her. She smiled on the inside as she heard what thoughts that the Goddesses would consider questionable. She instantly turned around opening her eyes to see one of her handmaidens at the balcony archway with her head bowed waiting address her.

"Yes Farah."

The captain of her handmaidens lifted her head with a slight frown.

"The lord of Chaos has once again come to visit you. He requests permission to enter."

Viennashal nodded slowly giving Farah a head motion that only she would know the meaning of. Her handmaid did an about-face and exited the room. As she did, he entered, clad in red robes that signified his place among the Collective as a lord. His gold armor that he wore no matter the occasion shined bright as he made his way toward her. As he reached her she embraced him and they kissed. For a long moment, she wondered how this could have happened. How could she have allowed herself to fall in love with a lord? If the Goddesses had found out they would be outraged, possibly even devastated enough that they would remove her as High Ruler of Galaxia. Then again what could possibly be wrong with being in love with a lord?

As she allowed herself to let go of the man, she'd grown to love over the past millennium she noticed something she hadn't before. Asjuntar the Lord of Chaos was distraught and had a sense of anxiety written all over himself. She peered into his mind but found nothing but anger, this immediately worried her.

"What is it?"

Asjuntar frowned ever so briefly and then his face turned back to its neutral expression. She stared into his dark brown eyes and watched as he stroked his chin as if he was attempting to formulate the best response possible.

"They know."

Viennashal was expecting him to say that. The God Collective as they called themselves found out everything over time. There wasn't much that could be hidden from them. They probably even knew of Galaxia and the gateway that allowed other Celestials passage to her kingdom.

"You act as if you or I could've kept it from them. It changes nothing, we've been through worse together and have made it through many trials and yet here we are."

Asjuntar shook his head quickly, his light brown skin shimmering in the sunlight. He opened his mouth as he lifted his arm pointing in the direction of a room that was attached to her bedroom.

"No, my love, they've learned of her existence. What we created in our lustful passion the night we wed in secret. They found out about our daughter and request your presence along with the rest of the Goddess Council to decide what to do about it."

Viennashal found herself becoming enraged the more Asjuntar spoke. How could a group of men who never even met her or her daughter want to decide what should be done with her or 'it' as her husband had put it.

"And you came here to gather us so we could go there and meet whatever fate they decide?"

Asjuntar looked at her arms held up with his hands up.

"You think I have a choice? I am lord not a God! I can't just disobey their commands as others can. If I hope to make it to see the title if God and be given ruler ship of one of the seven kingdom's I have to play the part."

Viennashal heard the tone in her husband's voice. It was a tone she'd not heard from him before. In his voice there was sadness, anger and surprisingly a sense of guilt. A part of her wanted to yell at him and blame him for this, but she didn't yet know who was responsible for the Collective gaining knowledge of their child's existence.

"I will accompany you there but our child will remain here in my palace under the guard of my handmaidens. I will not allow your brothers to have the opportunity to do something brash that would be outside of our control."

Asjuntar smiled at her. As he came closer to her wrapping his arm around her slender waist. He took in every aspect of her vanilla cream skin as shined and spoke to her in his normal reserved tone.

"You always are distrusting of my brothers. I would never let them harm our daughter. Nonetheless, I still have to follow the orders I am given."

Viennashal looked up at her husband slowly. Asjuntar was always protective of her and their daughter, but when his brothers asked something of him, she always sensed a conflict brewing within him thatshe couldn't fully understand. Sometimes she didn't try to understand it, othertimes they would have long drawn out arguments that caused him to avoid forlong periods of time. She had feeling that whatever was about to happen wasgoing to not cause him to avoid her, but possibly do something that he mightregret later on. After all he was the lord if chaos and chaos within the FiveRealms was something that hadn't been witnessed since before her creation as aGoddess.
