It was a warm summer day as the ranger of Valencia, Dorothy Perkins, had joined the kingdom's ruler, King Renen, in a hunting trip around the outskirts of Alexandria. It is not always such an event takes place, so Perkins made sure that she was properly prepared for their trip, keeping bow, arrow and sword close to her in order to quickly react to any situation that would arrive. Doing some forward scouting once the duo, trio if we count the strange feline creature the king carries around all the time, was in an area the ranger deemed to be worthy of searching for 'game', Perkins was unable to locate anything of much worth. With dissapointment visible on her face, she tried to hide her failure behind a stern voice that reported her results."I am sorry my liege, but today seems that it is not a good day for hunting. No worthy animals are in the field. I suggest we take our time to rest, so that we- I mean I can continue the search tomorrow." Said the woman while saluting the king.

Renen nods at perkins. He does not seemed upset at their inability to licate any prey. "Well, atleast we are enjoying a nice walk". He looks around them, taking in the scenery. "I do hope the group recieved my message. It seems we need everyone we can get."

Perkins dropped her salute, but remained at attention as she replied, before taking a quick look around her surroundings to see if she was missing anything."Well my lord, I am glad that you are at least enjoying your day. Is there something I can do for you? I have food rations with me in case you are hungry and clean water for drinking in case you are thirsty. Or, if your....'companion' over there would require something, she...it...I am not sure how to address this creature, really, can speak up as well." It was easy to tell that Dorothy was a bit nervous when she was refering to the creature the king keeps around him, as she was not sure what it was, how much the king cared for it and how dangerous it could be.

Pantera walks up from the edge of the clearing. She bows. "My name is Pantera"
Looking up, she smiles as her eyes glow with yellow light, further highliting her catlike eyes."I am his soulmate. And I mean that quite literally, not in that pathetic way some people can have a "soulmate" change every few years. Together he and I make one soul, me one half, him the other." She holds out her arm, making her tattoos glow with a black light. Meanwhile similar tattoos appear on Renen's hand, showing even through his armor.
Renen looks at the ranger apologetically. "I am afraid you got the strangest king in all of Calidor. All the power of a god... it is nearly impossible to have while having human emotions. So we... limit ourselves." He points to the glowing tattoos on Pantera, his having already faded. "Unfortunately the seals are automatic, us having little control of our current power level. If we could push our limits abit, perhaps we could remove atleast a few"
Pantera walks around the poor ranger, now looking like she did before, less noticible. "We would appreciate you dont tell too many people about us. Cant have a whole kingdom worshipping us... that gets old quickly."

Dorothy was confused, but mostly disturbed. Why would a God not want to be worshipped!? Regardless, she kept her composure and bowed slightly in response to Pantera's introduction as a sign of proper manners, her attention caught by the glowing markings that both shared on their bodies. Since it can't be something that's 'just there' and it must be important, she took in the information that might prove useful in the future and nodded."I understand, my lord. You have my word that your secret won't be revealed, not by lips. But a correction if you would allow me? I'd prefer the term 'special' over 'strange' when referring to you. You are of much higher importance than most people are, my lord. I think that, unless you are trying to seem humble which in my opinion is not something that's required of you, you should be a bit more commanding and demanding."
Perkins then looked away from the two for a brief moment, body staying still, but eyes looking down and away. A thought crossed her mind, that she was being a bit too forward and formal with the king, but it was as he had ordered before much to her distaste. "One would only wish to ask you of all the amazing experiences a God may have had in their existence, like how many Gods there are, what powers do they possess, how do they spend their every day lives and how they behave, but I suppose bothering you with such nonsence is idiotic." Said Perkins with a sly smile on her face, cleverly trying to fish out some information about the life of a God which she was so curious about.

Renen looked as Dorothy closely. He was considering whether to tell her everything. Perhaps she could be the one he was looking for? Not like he was going to stay here forever. He hoped not.
"A long time ago the god of creation created the world. At that time he was using his power to shape the world as he liked and it was a wonderful place, where everyone knew their place in the world and there was perfect balance. The greatest was the kingdom of Valencia, a single world residing on the entirety of the first planet created." He paused. It seems he had many fond memories of the time that he spent a long time trying to forget."
Pantera stepped in to continue the story. "Then Chaos appeared. A being that wanted to destroy the balance and erase the creation.The god of creation fought the chaos, but in order to prevent further ddestruction he sealed it. As it was, whole worlds burned from his actions. Valencia was destroyed and billions died. When he tried to fix it all with his power, he found that using it at such a grand scale weakened the seal."
"So he decided that to postpone the return of Chaos, he would split his soul in half, and place additional seals on himself in order to limit his potential. Now we move around, trying to stop the balance from shifting too much into one direction."
Renen nods. Pointing towards Valencia he finishes the story "We found this world dangerously close to collapse. Coming here we created a rough copy of the great capital city of Valencia and entrenched it into the history of the world. Doing so greatly drained us, but that is a small price to pay since we avoided causing further instability. Now we have someplace to start." He sighs "The mortal races have created so many gods for themselves, but they will stand no chance against Chaos. I am not sure even I could. So we are doing our best to stall for as long as possible. Perhaps if we are lucky, there might be a way out." As Renen finishes his story he looks around as if he forgotten who he was telling it to. "At any rate, we need to get some sleep and resume our hunt tomorrow.

Perkins nodded slowly and then relaxed her stance. She was obviously confused at the story the king had just recited."These things have never been recorded in the annals of history. One could only wonder how none know of the existence of this....Chaos. Regardless, it's intentions sound against our cause, thus we must continue our efforts to bring order to this world." She noticed how the king felt a bit nostalgic as he spoke, but commented not on it.
When the creature spoke, Dorothy gave it little attention, as she was mostly drawn to someone she could understand. After this story was over, she nodded once more. "Of course. I will find us a good place to rest for the night and we can continue tomorrow. I can wake you up if you wish me to, my lord. I will also keep watch for a few hours to make sure we are safe."
