PRELUDE

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

Long ere’s ago, there was a time when everything seemed unbalanced. A place humans called home was now ending an era, and beginning a whole new age. This place was nicknamed, ‘the Human World’ for those who later wouldn’t dwell in this world, but another. And disconnected from ‘the Human World’; a land no one is able to reach unless chosen was conceived.

Deep within ‘the Human World’ there is a site that is blinding to behold. It was like staring into a white sun that gleamed enormously. Soon though, the light dimmed and the new world had emerged.

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

It was a dull place at first with only a glistening sea stretched out for yonder, and lands scattered from one spot, to the other. However, there was nothing to reflect on the surface; only a blazing, colorless sky. Abruptly, a darkness seemed to fall into the land. The beaming, pale light was swapped out with the dark; this would become the devising of the first night of the world. With the land resting, no movement still wandered, and no noise seemed to echo from the farthest reaches of the country. But then, during the time of the dark, a great moon had arose in the sky. And in that moon, there was the Moon World where the first beings would be formed.

In the Moon World, it all started with the Moon Wizard; a great being who had the ability to see the entire land below by looking into the giant moon that stood high above him. He paced around broadly in his long cloak that draped over his feet

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

as he walked. His long, white hair that lingered from his head and another from his beard glowed brightly just like his entire body that shined bright like the moon itself.

Soon came the Sapirs who were magic beings with bluish-green skin and bright, Chartreuse eyes. They were there to serve the great Moon Wizard and build whatever he requested for them. Around them in the Moon World, they lived in a dark-blue place that looked rich, yet it seemed abandoned as if it was buried in the deepest parts of the sea.

Afterwards, the Sapirs came up with their own language called, ‘Sapirsitism’ (Sap-purr-sit-tism). And with this language, the Moon Wizard finally gave the land below a name, the ‘Unrealm’; ‘a place or thing that didn’t exist to the Human World’.

As the Moon Wizard slowly footed on a path that went between the buildings he could see through his mind the Unrealm; he felt that it was time to bring life into the world below. He walked

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

back to the lofty moon and stood in front of it with brooded thoughts running across his mind. He placed his hand on the white texture and he said, in Sapirsitism ‘for something to sparkle the night sky’.

Suddenly in the Unrealm, the water absorbed a lot of air into the surface, and out from it bolted millions of white, dazzling stars that began to glitter continuously in the night sky. The sea reflected the stars onto its surface with the lights flashing with cheer.

Once the stars were made, the Moon Wizard placed his hand again on the moon and said with calmness,

      Give me someone who is cheerful and bright for the next day.

      The white light that had shined since the beginning faded completely from the world and the Sun Sorceress was made. Once she was created

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

though, she stumbled into her own land. The Moon Wizard gave her a name, ‘Celentiris’, which in Sapirsitism meant ‘Cheerful and bright’. A ball of yellow light floated in the Unrealm’s sky after she was created. In what is now called the Sun Land, a lady dressed in a bright, yellow dress sat on her throne with a staff that had a yellow ball of light sitting at the end of it. At once, she pointed her staff at the Unrealm and there was day.

Next, the Moon Wizard noticed plant life was growing with frailness, so he knew all life needed shade to help grow faster. So, he commanded to the Sapirs to create something that would live in the Sun Land that would, at times, block the sun from the land below. The Sapirs created the Cloud Giants; giant, puffed, and hefty creatures that were either; white or gray. They were sent to the Sun Land to live for eternity.

While the world formed its prime center pieces the air felt withered; it needed something to help

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

the country breathe. So then, a soothing breeze blew, and with it was a mixture between cool and warm. These two words together in Sapirsitism became the name for the eternal season that roamed the land called, ‘Spallfring’

As the moon, sun, stars, and clouds were now part of the Unrealm, it was now time to begin creating life in the world.

The Sapirs used a special magic to split themselves from the Moon World. As they divided two parts of them into thousands of bright green figures, they sent them down to the Unrealm to live and watch over the world. These spirits were called, the Good Spirits and became the first beings in the Unrealm. The Moon Wizard gave them this name to make sure everything in the Unrealm would stay peaceful.

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

In case something was going to go a stray, the Sapirs created the first weaponry in the Unrealm for the Good Spirits, the Navuqish (Nov-vu-qiush) Sword meaning ‘Vanquish’ in Sapirsitism. It was forged with emerald-green beauty as it traced the edge of the blade. In the middle was a blue-diamond mark that stretched eleven inches with its body thin and lengthy. The sword’s purpose was to reveal to whoever holding the sword those who passed by the spot a few hours or days ago.

After the first hundred years passed in the Unrealm, there were already many creatures striding around; Water Wolves and Fire Wolves that blended in with the element that conceived them. Then, there were the ‘Grass Eaters’ that were creatures that sprung up from the ground as they stumble like marching armies of grass treading along the fields. Their backs were covered with the meadow to disguise them from other animals. And

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

lastly, there were the Degauri (Dee-Gaur-ree) Spiders; large, eight-legged beings with a shiny, silver body and thin, pointed legs.

Soon came the devising of insects that made up the entirety of the Unrealm. There were the ‘Dragonids (Dragon-nides); a very small dragon with long wings that extended a few inches like a Dragonfly from the Human World. ‘Pixancedes’ (Pick-an-seeds) are dancing and chanting insects that roam out mainly during the day. Although they are endearing, they can be very treacherous. ‘Blind Elaparcs’ (El-a-parks) are blind from sight, but can still feel things that are many inches away without touching the surface. They’re small as a beetle, but their eyes are pure black ovals with a sharp, pointed nose and hundreds of teeth like a vicious shark from the Human World. A ‘Sligulme’ (Slig-gull-me) is an insect that releases a firm slime that can be molded into different things, which can be supportive for those who possess it. ‘Leatsnats’ (Leet-snats) bugs roam to steal objects and food at

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

night. They communicate in their own language and gather together with a sneering attitude.

Next is the ‘Smockinird’; a shadowy bug that can take the form of objects and make them gloomy in color. They also devour other insects and become doppelgangers of them with petrifying skin. A ‘Ghoulish Gouller (Gall-lure) is an Unrealm Sea fish that are half-fish and half-souls. With its menacing form it can bite and ensnare a chunk of something or someone’s soul leaving their prey to feel feeble and sick. The ‘Elclorful’ (El-clore-full) is a tiny, flying, serpent-like creature with yellow, red, blue, green, orange, and purple colors that create amusing and electrifying lights in the air like a light show. They are tremendously adored by humans and harmless to all nature. Then, there’s the ‘Ferrberup Frog’ (Furr-burr-up) that are furry Amphibians that croak in a musical, Unrealm tone during the exhilarating night. A ‘Wurdeetle’ (Word-dee-tull) are sturdy bugs that like to fly to humans in exchange to playfully combat them with

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

their dull-end mouths, which are good for practicing with a real sword. Although their mouth ends are blunt, they are able to withhold a real blade.

A ‘Kewtbacot’ (Cue-woo-ba-cot) are adorable, little creatures that resemble a combination of a precious feline and an observing bat. They have tiny, lavender wings and white, furry faces. The breed snuggle into groups around dead, yet alluring trees and plants to help the plants live completely. Finally, there’s the ‘Prancing Pidalkip (Pid-dal-kep); a sea creature that likes to sing and wander in the water. They help the realm with its nourish spread and make the sea clean from filth.

The Good Spirits watched over all the life forms to make sure nothing bad would happen to them. Fortunately, no evil had drew in the Unrealm…not yet at least.

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

In the midst of the Sapirsitism Era; inside the Moon World, the master wizard himself had an aching headache. He never felt something so agonizing before, but the Sapirs knew if the Moon Wizard was feeling any pain, evil was growing somewhere unknowingly. The Sapirs were anxious from this sight, and the Moon Wizard was frozen in fear to know that even all goodness will have a bad side. At once, the Moon Wizard told the Sapirs,

Create a massive group of beings that would be strong and courageous; but at the same time, they must be cruel to whomever stumbled upon them. Although their attitude would be severe, they would go against evil when there would be evil.

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

And then came the most vicious-looking figures to observe, ‘the Soulless Souls’. They were guardian spirits with their aquatic, slightly transparent skin, and they were very victorious entities. Yet, their expressions shown that they were not chatty spirits, and they hated being interrupted while they were on their endless watch for whatever they were looking for.

Before they were released into the Unrealm, the Moon Wizard felt distressed to even send them out there. However, he knew he had no choice; he had to release them to find the evil that wandered in the Unrealm.

The Soulless Souls were spread throughout certain places of the land. And luckily, they did not fail at their mission as they constantly hunted down the mysterious evil that gave the Moon Wizard his intense pain in his head. The question was, ‘would they know what was right, and what was wrong?’

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

Soon, the Sapirs began making magical tools to help build and protect places. One of their greatest instruments was the ‘Invisible Force Shield’; a converted cover that blankets anything it surrounds from anyone or anything’s naked eye. For it to show certain ones the unseen, the person who conjured up the ‘Invisible Force Shield’ would have to place a magic code into the shield and it would unfold before their very eyes.

Eventually, the Moon Wizard felt his pain increase and needed the Good Spirits to stay safe. So, he commanded to his devoted Sapirs for them to tell the Good Spirits,

      Use the ‘Invisible Force Shield’ to hide a majority of the Unrealm. It will take about two years for the shield to protect the quality you desire. As you do this, we - your other selves, the Sapirs - will help find a way to absorb the Force Shield into something like; water, mountains, trees, or caves.

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

After the Sapirs created a way to help the Good Spirits, the Moon Wizard released it into the world below for the souls to use. It took a couple of years for the shield to cover what the Good Spirits wanted. They took with them a lot of; land, a quarter of the sea and rivers, large mountains, and many caves. Along with them, they beckoned; the Fire Wolves, Water Wolves, Grass Eaters, Dragonids, and few other creatures into their own land.

As the Good Spirits were given the magic, they absorbed the ‘Invisible Force Shield’ into a cave that was midway of the Unrealm sea, and they made sure there would be a way for them to enter without others to follow them. They carved into the shield a secret code, and whomever wandered near would only see what was on the outside of the hidden world.

At last, they were now in their own world and they named it, ‘the Land of the Good Spirits’. But,

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

the long and spread out land lived in the dark, so they needed a sun and moon to shine the grounds. The Sapirs created something alive, yet brought life to a world that lived blind, ‘the Flying Glowing Bugs’. One half was yellow for the sun, and the other half was white to form the moon.

At the beginning of the day, the glimmering, yellow insects flew up into the sky and merged together to make the sun. The same went for the white bugs as well when it came to night. However though, each of these didn’t grow bright. Thereafter, the first sorceress of the Unrealm was created, and the Moon Wizard presented her with a name that was dignifying; she was called ‘Ontaria the Flying Glowing Sorceress’. Her name in Sapirsitism meant ‘Lady of prominent strength and power’, and she gave eternal life to the bugs. With her uplifting gift, she caused the sun and moon to shine brightly in ‘the Land of the Good Spirits’.

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

On a most cheery day in the Unrealm; the Sun Sorceress, Celentiris shined her staff around the landscape and sea. She was - like always - in a most bright and joyful mood. She looked below at the beautiful Unrealm with her watchful eyes, seeing nothing unusual in sight.

As she kept touring the world with her beaming eyes there was something that caught her attention; something that was spotted out than anything else from the land. In the center of the enormous sea there was a tiny, black spot situated carelessly. She felt that there was something sinister at work here. Immediately, she informed the Moon Wizard of this dark figure that was growing in the center of the Unrealm. He felt anxious to know about this spot and wondered if this could be what had given him his ongoing headache.

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

It was about a year later when the Moon Wizard finally created the first wizards in the Unrealm; he named them, ‘the Kahool Wizards’. They had sharp chins that pointed to the ground; long, thick hair that ran down over their flat shoulders; and swords with unique, shady-green powers. Their purpose was to train those who would later come with magic powers to defeat the evilness that was lurking. Out of the wizards was their master, Serantapol (Sar-ran-ta-pool) who asked the Moon Wizard himself,

      Why can’t we just put an end to the shadow? said Serantapol with his eager, mean-looking face, and green snake eyes.

    There’s no magic nor no way to destroy something that can be undone. said the Moon Wizard sharply.

      Once the Kahool Wizards were made into the world, the Sapirs created a gentle beast, but a very alerted one. The creature was made out of

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

the Unrealm sea called ‘the Water Dragon’. It was transparent with its aquatic eyes and watery frame that camouflaged like the water it was born from. The wings were wide enough to make its speed underwater go swiftly.

Right after its birth, the dragon was informed to watch over all the monsters in the sea; this meant the shadow that grew as well. Next after the Water Dragon was made, the Water Horses were also created. Their bodies were green like algae, but what stood out about them was their magic; it was made from the Sapirs and it prevented them from death.

On the very next day, after the Water Horses were made, ‘Growing Mountains’ were built at the bottom of the deep sea and would rise when something crossed its property. These elevated, rock hills weren’t as big like normal mountains. Dug in the face was a cave mouth where peaceful monsters would take shelter if they felt threatened.

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

Not long after, other extraordinary life forms were devised. Mareids (Mar-reeds) were first in the next group of newly creatures. These beautiful mermaid-like beings had a tail with five, soft fins. On their body, they had sparkling crystals that glinted all over their human-shaped figure. Their hair blew like peaceful trees on a warm, blissful morning, yet their faces looked swollen as if something smothered their eyes and cheeks together. Their appearance, nevertheless, showed true beauty lies from within with their gentle feelings for others.

Next came the ‘Eeseewee Fairies’ (E-see-we); glittery, tiny, flying fairies that roamed the atmosphere freely with their admiring, pure-blue light that shined like a small star. And during this time came the ‘Swugeter Dwellers’ (Swoo-get-ter); for Sapirsitism this meant, ‘sugar and sweet’. The moment they were made, they helped others tremendously with hard work without depression and complaints.

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

Instantly; an enormous, vast piece of land was seen shifting out of the aspects of the sea. Its head had emerged out with sluggish desire to show itself. The chunk of land manifested itself entirely to the world with a body that was too wide for a being to travel in a whole day. Thus came Ivenron; a continental island where all creatures could foot or sleep from other beings.

Days and days had passed when the conceiving of elves, Oarks (Or-arks)(a sturdy, malicing creature of their own kind), and goblins came to be in the Unrealm. The Saweryor (Saw-were-your) Elves were the first out of the group. Their hair was green like fresh meadows on a warm, exhilarating, sunny day. And their eyes were yellow and they wore long, seaweed-like capes that cloaked their knees with evergreen material for their legs. Next came ‘Barkenelves’ (Bark-In-Elves) who were conceived from trees and material that lurked inside.

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

With them, they carried great tree bows and arrows with sharp, bark placed at the end.

Along with the Barkenelves came the Icenelves (Ice-zen-elves) who were the next breed of figures. They were like the Saweryor Elves except with white, snowy hair; eyes that were ice blue, and white cloaks that blew heavily behind them. With them they carried a long, pale bow with arrows that were made out of ice.

Afterwards were the Grengorok (Grin-grr-rock) Oarks. Their bodies were well built with long, maroon hair; evil looking gold eyes that could make the heart of a living thing shiver in fright; and sharp teeth that were easy to scare away any intruder from its path.

Next came the Swenmenom (Swin-men-nom) Goblins. These small, five-foot creatures could be mean, yet they could be reasoned with in certain occasions. They were very dishonest monsters with their devilish, tricky ways.

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

Once these monsters were in the Unrealm, a group of hefty creatures were made called the Weygrestraun (Wig-grust-tree-un) Spiders. These eight-legged critters were dark blue with hairy legs. Although they were the natural size of any spider in the Unrealm - about half the size of a human being - they stood out thanks to their Azure-blue webs.

Soon were the ‘Bergerty Boggerty Trolls’. Very amusing to their music and tales as they paced with high spirits and bounced as if the air around them played a harmonic tune that soothed and uplifted them. Their bodies stood tall, and their heads peaked high above trees. Their feet could fit inside a river in one step.

Finally, the Grestafor (Grass-ta-for) Golems were giant, rock beasts that were brawny and mean. Inside their hollow eye sockets came a flash of bright, green lights that beamed radiantly for miles.

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

It was a few years when something unexpected came into view. The Water Horses were galloping on top of the sea’s surface when out of nowhere they saw the shadow that was once small, now spreading throughout the water. The Water Horses had to send word to the Good Spirits, but they were unable to speak. Thus, the Moon Wizard informed the Sapirs in his world to create a language for them; it would be a whole new language, and whoever possessed it would be able to live forever; it was called, ‘Whishle’ (Whis-shell). Inside the language, which sounded no different than a normal whistle from the Human World with exception of the echo that blew throughout the top of the water, they told the Good Spirits,

      The shadow that was once small has grown enormously. It began as a small portion of the Unrealm-to-a quarter of the sea. a Water Horse said in its language.

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

Because the Good Spirits were the Sapirs in the Unrealm they could communicate to them in the Moon World through mind. The leader of the Sapirs told the Moon Wizard,

      I speak for the Water Horses down below; they have said that ‘the shadow that was once tiny has expanded itself into a larger scale.

      This being is treacherous. We should be alerted as much as we can about this unknown figure for it could wander elsewhere without us knowing. said the Moon Wizard. And so it did eventually as time went by.

At long last, the shadow had crept out of the waters and inside the earth that was underneath the cliffs that stood over the sea. These cliffs were to the mid-east where the Kahool Wizards lived. The dark being swarmed his way through the cracks of the earthy wall with its black liquid

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

moving towards the wizards. As he made his way through, he finally found some water that was inside a pool that had been forged into the ground.

One day, the leader of the Kahool Wizards named Serantapol stumbled pass the pond. But as he crossed it; a faint, dark, and breathy whisper called out to him.

      Serantapol, the King of the Kahool Wizards; you are worthy, and you are brave. Why do you listen to the Moon Wizard? There are many that live in the Unrealm and are treated great. You are wizards; the first ones other than the Moon Wizard and myself. You should be great and powerful! I can give you power! The shadow said in a dark, breathy, echoing voice. The voice came out eerie with sickened words. All you have to do is sacrifice yourself for me and I will make you rulers of the Unrealm.

And with these menacing words, Serantapol gathered his fellow Kahool Wizards around him for

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

this sacred ritual. The leader had his staff and he stuck its end inside the pool. Lastly, the shadow gave them a language of their own; the language though was dark and felt nasty to the tongue. The shadow called it  ‘Sarpirtark' (Sar-purr-tark). Serantapol said in the language which had a dark tone to it,

      Rise my master! Come alive! And when you are strong, you will rise in time!!! said Serantapol.

And at that very moment, the shadow was absorbed into the staff and inside Serantapol himself. It was in this moment when the beginning of corruption flavored the air with its revolting sense. The first era of the Unrealm had ended, and a new one had begun. The shadow that once was small was now at the peek of his rise.

The Moon Wizard couldn’t believe it. He felt depressed and discouraged that he ignored this being and now it was at power. Out of nowhere, the shadow called out to the Moon Wizard,

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

You have failed, Moon Wizard! I have taken your Kahool Wizards as my own and we will build an army to go against your creations. From this day forth I will be the one to spread evil throughout the land. Your creatures will become mean to others. I will not make them evil though because my monsters will be the ones to take them down in war. said the shadow.

And it is because of this, I give you a new name you horrid being…the Evil Shadow! said the Moon Wizard angrily. His eyes were fiercesome.

Soon after the new era in the Unrealm known as ‘the Evil Shadow’s Era’ begun, the Evil Shadow formed his first creatures through Serantapol; they were called the Soul Eaters. They were small, black spirits that roamed lightly in secret; they would find their way into magical beings and creatures. The purpose of the Soul Eaters was to make those they were inside depressed and angry. Then, they

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

would become hateful at others. Eventually, the spirits would devour the souls inside the victim, and when the time came, the person or beast would die. The Soul Eaters were now scattered everywhere in the Unrealm making the land filled with gloom and hatred.

While everything already felt unpleasant, the Evil Shadow created a massive army of Crawlers. Their black, twenty, shivering legs stretched out a few feet like spears, and the red eyes of a Crawler was like staring into a frozen, dead being that had brought terror through their sight. Inside of them though was a bloated amount of extreme venom. These dangerous beings were crawling all around the top of the Unrealm Sea. Their poison was to help rid the Unrealm of good things. But, the Moon Wizard challenged the Evil Shadow with his Crawlers and made something that would eat them like a delicious course.

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

So next came the Wuerys (Were-rees); small, round, furry, happily, and emotional animals that had legs the size of a thick twig with eyes that reflected when staring into them. Wuerys grew to become great creatures of the Unrealm with their vast amount of positive energy, and because of this energy it had a large amount of goodness that it protected them from death. Although they couldn’t die, they were able to be wounded.

At this point, the Evil Shadow tested the Moon Wizard to make his own Soulless Souls, ‘the Dark Soulless Souls’. But the only way to make them was to; kill weaker beings, have them made, and torture them ruthlessly. The Dark Soulless Souls went around tormenting others that were frailer than themselves. To add along with them, the Evil Shadow split apart the Dark Soulless Souls into the Beast Eaters. The beasts’ felt the uttermost pain and turned into shadowy forms of outraging, devouring brutes.

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

It was at this time when the Evil Shadow finally left Serantapol’s body and revealed himself to the world in his full strength. His body had a layer of dark skin with black smoke that followed behind him. His eyes were round and sharp that were blood red. And his dim, greyish mouth was wide when he would speak. Afterwards, the Good Spirits and the Saweryor Elves were getting disappointed that the world was becoming a land of immoral and darkness. So, they went to the Evil Shadow to declare war against him and his creations. The Evil Shadow admired this and accepted war.

When months went by in the Unrealm, the Kahool World had finished building their city that was filled with rows of stoned buildings. In the middle of the city was a large palace that had columns in the front of the structure that helped

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

the front from falling. Long, tall statues of Serantapol stood on both sides of the palace.

All of a sudden, the Evil Shadow flew in his black smoke inside the Kahool World. Once he arrived, he was welcomed by Kahool Guards that blocked the way to the entrance of the place. Right as he entered, he had to go through the corridor and towards the throne chair of Serantapol. As he entered firmly, Serantapol beckoned him in a joyful voice.

      Welcome, Evil Shadow! exclaimed Serantapol loudly.

The king of the Kahool World was now looking like his true self. His face looked frightening like a corpse body that was under the ground for ages. This was caused because he had forgotten about the one who made them, the Moon Wizard, and followed the one that made evil into the realm. The Evil Shadow smiled and bowed to the ruler of the Kahool world.

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

Mighty Serantapol! You are growing more into the Unrealm as time has went by. You will start from here, but if we win ‘the Battle of the Unrealm’ you will become Ruler of the Unrealm. That is not the news though that brought me here. I have come to tell you that I need you to create your own monsters that would help kill all those who live in the land. the Evil Shadow announced to Serantapol in his deep, devouring voice. At once, he flew back into the Unrealm leaving the Kahool Wizards at their work.

As a year went by, the Kahool Wizards finally completed their monsters; they were called Kahoolers. These colossus beasts were almost as tall as ‘the Great Mountains’ in the North. The Kahoolers had sharp, narrow eyes that were like vicious serpents; one stare would send the victim into the utmost fright. The top of the nose edged off like a mountain cliff with its nostrils wide.

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

Their teeth were sharp like welded swords forged with great craftsmanship. The claws were large enough to break anything that was in front of their paths; and behind them was a tail that was strong enough to form a raging storm with rough swings. But, what made them more fiercesome was the mouth that could eat a building in a few bites.

Each four Kahooler stood for treacherous meanings. One of them was called Semacronat (See-ma-crow-nut) the Retribution Kahooler. The beast would release its Charcoal-grey breath onto its victims and then, breathe in the soul of that person. Once it was inside the Kahooler, Semacronat imprisoned the soul inside itself for eternity.

Next was Chrageyloac (Ch-rag-ghee-lo-oak) the Trickster. Although it’s the lowest of the Kahoolers, it’s still a Kahooler that will draw its prey into its devilish tricks. When it would stalk its prey it blew out its Sacramento breath onto the victim.

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

The second greatest of the Kahoolers was Buarmkobewn (Boo-arm-ko-boon) the Vengeance. Buarmkobewn could search the sky, earth, and depths of the world for its prey that it seeks. Its Umber-brown breath will turn its victims evil, and in the end, lead them to the greatest Kahooler of them all, Hamehoxagna (Hum-me-hock-see-gone-na) the Gruesome. If someone is on Buarmkobewn’s menu, it’s wise to face your doom. No matter where the victim runs or hides, it will look for this figure every day and every hour till it begs for mercy, and mercy is something a Kahooler doesn’t understand.

And at last, the greatest Kahooler, Hamehoxagna the Gruesome. This beast is the most menacing Kahooler of them all. It would release out its Mahogany-red breath and torture its victims to an extreme violent, ghastly end.

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

In the midst of the era, the Evil Shadow went into the Sun World to see the Cloud Giants. The moment he entered they had their Cloud Swords ready to attack, but the enemy was very cunning with his fiendish, diabolic ways. He met with them and talked to them peacefully.

The great Cloud Giants. Mighty I do agree, but not great. Why do you serve Celentiris? Why the Moon Wizard, when you can join me and become powerful over the land? said the Evil Shadow in his dishonest tone. One of the Cloud Giants stood up to him.

We will not join you, you fiend! You will be destroyed by the end of the battle! shouted the leader of the Cloud Giants.

I will never be destroyed even if I do lose. You see, I will live forever now thanks to the Moon Wizard. said the Evil Shadow. "Now, I

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

need you all to serve me. I swear that you will not become second place to the Moon Wizard again."

We will never join you! told the leader firmly.

But, at that moment, a few of the Cloud Giants stumbled towards the Evil Shadow. They acknowledged him and accepted his words. The leader was ashamed of them and couldn’t look them in their eyes.

Soon after, the Cloud Giants that followed the Evil Shadow went from white, soft clouds-to-hard, stormy ones instead. Inside the Sun World, Celentiris heard the news from the leader of the Cloud Giants that ‘the Evil Shadow was here and beckoned them to join his side. Half of the Cloud Giants joined’. She felt low in pity to not only the Cloud Giants, but to herself for not seeing the Evil Shadow in her own world. Surprisingly, while Celentiris was angry at herself, the sun was shrinking in the world below. Right then, the Moon Wizard said to her,

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

Celentiris, you must learn that you made a mistake. We are not perfect you and I, just like those in the Unrealm. Do not give in though because you are great, and I mean it; not like the Evil Shadow. The ones in; the Unrealm, my Sapirs, and myself need you. said the Moon Wizard in a gentle tone.

Although creating beings was finally coming to rest, the Evil Shadow used the same type of venom from the Crawlers and increased it for serpents called, ‘Lucioron Snakes’ (Lush-sore-re-on). Their fangs would blast out enough amount of venom that it could kill a person within a second.

The Moon Wizard felt outraged and created Landrags to go against the Lucioron Snakes. In this moment, the Evil Shadow was feeling outwitted with the Moon Wizard’s scheming revenge.

It was at this moment, when all hope had faded away from sight that something very unexpected happened to the Moon Wizard. As his mind had constantly surveyed the Unrealm his thoughts went blank and there was something anew. He focused deeply into this thought and found what looked like another world from theirs. This other world though felt query to the Moon Wizard. His head vibrated as if a miniature bell inside his skull had been hit and it was swaying left to right. Right then, the image of this exotic kingdom had come into a clear sight. It was an elated place filled with similar creatures and beings like those of the Unrealm.

The extraordinary realm had high mountains that were gathered together in groups. Everywhere else there were valleys that spread for yonder. But something this place had though that the Unrealm never thought of were large cities that were enormous in size, and many laborers worked and lived in them.

In the midst of this splendid world there was mainly the sea where mythical creatures similar to those of the Unrealm roamed easily. There was a large sea monster named ‘the Kraken’ whose tentacles bolted out for ships to eat. Then, what looked a giant serpent with nine heads conceived together slithered around in the water. Hurtling on the grassy, cheery fields was a three-headed dog known as ‘the Cerberus Dogs’ who seemed to be striding hastily to a location at that moment. Somewhere, marching along the land were beings called, ‘Minotaurs’; who had the body of a sturdy male figure, yet the head and bottom of a bull. And living in the caves were giant, tall, one-eyed monsters with bodies that were five-times bigger than a Minotaur’s called, ‘Cyclops’.

This was just a few of the many beasts that meandered on here in this hidden expansive realm. However, the Moon Wizard’s mind forced his thoughts towards a certain mountain that rose high into the clouds. And at the peak of the

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

mountain there was a Parthenon lying there in peace and separated from the land below. Suddenly, the Moon Wizard followed what his view wanted him to see. As his thoughts wandered through, he saw before him very tall, human beings sitting upright in a hall where many throne chairs were placed neatly.  These large, tall, and strong immortals were conversing back and forth with one another. The Moon Wizard wondered ‘who could they be?’. But the answer came to him instantly; he found out from knowledge of the Human World that these beings were known as ‘Greek Gods and Goddesses’, and their location was called, ‘the Greek World’.

There was the leader of them all named Zeus; he was the Ruler of all the Gods and Goddesses. His body was large with long white hair, and a long white beard with dark, blue eyes that almost resembled his lightning bolt sword in his hand.

Next was Hades, the Ruler of the Underworld. Hades had long, fiery-red, and dim yellow hair that sparked each time when it blew; his goatee was like a lit flame from a torch that hung upside down.

The other God was Poseidon; God of the Sea, Earthquakes, and Horses. When he was in the sea, he would blend in with the water that surrounded him. However, when he was on land, he was like a walking part of the ocean coming onshore and dragging a transparent, watery cape behind him.

The next one was Ares; the God of War. He had a sturdy look on his face. His long, golden-blonde hair drifted on his back; and on his right eye was a long, thin scar that was cut deep into his skin.

After Ares, there was Hermes; the Messenger of the Gods. When a God or Goddess had news to send, Hermes was the one to hear it first; and then, he would pass it along to the deity who it was meant for. His form though didn’t match what

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

others thought of him as; he was knee-size to a human and noises could be heard plain as day with his elf-like, pointy ears. And his dark, brown hair was cut off halfway from the back of his neck.

Sitting by Hermes was Hephaestus; the God of Craftsmanship. He was taller than the others and his muscles were abundant in size. Although, his appearance was too hard to look at, according to Aphrodite and others. His face looked frail and many scars shown he was tortured ruthlessly.

Finally, there was Apollo; the God of Prophecy, Medicine, and Poetry. He had long hair that draped over his narrow face, and stretched to his pelvis. He could feel anyone’s future through their energy.

Following on the other side of the Gods were the Goddesses of this exhilarating world. The first one was the Goddess of Wisdom, Athena who was beautiful with long, smooth, black hair that relaxed on her right shoulder as it fell downwards softly. She had dark, brown eyes that pulled men’s

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

attention to her. Although her and her sister, Aphrodite could both be mistaken as the Goddess of Love, each one had different personalities. Athena was a much delightful being, but could be ruthless if she had to be. As for her sister Aphrodite, she had no politeness and lured men by her arousing figure. Her hair was brown that curled on the left side with green eyes like emeralds.

Next was Artemis, the Goddess of Wild Animals and Hunt. She had long, thick, black hair that covered half her face with shadowy make-up which shielded her serious, yet gorgeous eyes from the harsh glares of the sun.

After the Moon Wizard examined the mythical world, he yearned for these Greek Gods and Goddesses’ help and seeked out the Sapirs at once. When he conversed to the Sapirs about this vision he saw, he beckoned them to tell the Good Spirits about an upcoming mission for them; their mission

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

was to journey into ‘the Greek World’ and lure the beings here. The Sapirs stared at their master with great astonishment. They related to him and said,

For what you have told us master, we feel it is irrational to jump to the conclusion that these figures who are sacred to the Human World should come here. Why not someone else? Someone more like us? stated one of the Sapirs.

The Moon Wizard replied firmly,

"They are like us! They do not exist to the real world out there. In the Human World, they have gave them a name called, ‘Greek or Classical Mythology’. These beings are Unrealm and rightfully so. It is for this that you should declare the Good Spirits and the Soulless Souls to be the ones to march out to ‘the Great Mountains’ and bring forth the Greek Gods and Goddesses to help us. The Evil Shadow has; Soul Eaters, Crawlers, even my wizards; the Kahool Wizards, and their Kahoolers on his side. He has drawn more towards

The Conceiving of the Unrealm

him, and each day another volunteers to join him. Before we know it, the whole land will fall into the darkness of the Evil Shadow. But, when I saw this land of these Gods and Goddesses I knew they didn’t know that they were mythical to the Human World now. Our army is growing thin as we speak and these fabricated Gods and Goddesses can help in this war and defeat the Evil Shadow."

The Sapirs grew silent for they were pondering about this mighty challenge that was bestowed to them. With no other way, it seemed they had to
