    Well, here it is. The next chapter. ENJOY! Chapter 4: The meeting. The next day I set my people to work and went away, to learn how to use the new miracles. Every now and then I felt that the god was looking at me. His aura was blue, but I couldn’t see his symbol. He seemed to radiate a cold dislike for the world. Every time he looked at me I felt cold. I wondered when he would make a move. I went to a small forest. ‘Well, lets start with the water miracle, shall we? It is one of the miracles, which have changed leader.’ Beardy popped in sight. ‘Well, what has changed exactly?’ I asked. ‘Well, you use your finger to spray the water. You see that lonely tree?’ I looked and saw the tree Beardy was talking about. Demon popped in sight as well. ‘This is boring, boss. Why don’t you kill someone?’ I sighed irritated. ‘Demon, could you please be quiet for a while?’ I turned back to Beardy, who looked approvingly at me. ‘Think about the water miracle, leader.’ I thought about it and after a few moments I felt the power of the miracle flowing to me. Suddenly I noticed I didn’t have a hand! ‘Ehm, Beardy? Where’s my hand?’ Beardy looked as well puzzled. ‘You don’t need it, boss. Thanks to the Creed you can fire it from the core of your spiritual body. If you want a hand you must think of it.’ Beardy and I looked stunned at Demon. ‘WHAT?’ He asked. Beardy said: ‘Well, we’re not used of you giving intelligent answers.’ Demon looked irritated. ‘Thank you very much Beardy, but because just I’m Evil [Evil] it doesn’t mean I’m dumb.’ I mentally apologised. He smiled at me. I thought of a hand, and it immediately appeared. I aimed at the tree, and sprayed the water with such force it was uprooted and thrown into the sea. Beardy said timidly: ‘Slightly too much force, leader. But if you…’ Cruel laughter interrupted him. I spun around and saw the blue god. I could also see his symbol. His symbol looked like the face of a human, but it had two long teeth and strange, pointy ears. ‘Like my symbol?’ He said with a smirk. ‘It’s the head of a vampire.’ I remembered to have heard some stories about these creatures, but I could not remember when. ‘They feast on blood, boss.’ Demon smiled. ‘I never thought to meet a new god here. I’ll have to kill all unbelieving fools on this miserable island after all.’ He looked at me. ‘What is your name, newborn?’ ‘What is YOUR name?’ I shot back at him, quite angry. Newborn, how dared he? I could crush him were he floated. He smiled at me. ‘A god who isn’t a coward! I like that. Very well. I am Marrvic, one of the strongest gods ever. By the way, would you like to join my clan? I’ll be the leader soon enough.’ He laughed arrogantly. I asked: ‘What clan?’ He looked at me like I was the dumbest thing he had ever seen. ‘An Evil [Evil] clan. What did you think it was? A Good [Good] clan?’ He laughed again. I said calmly: ‘I won’t join an Evil [Evil] clan, nor do I need to join. I have destroyed more Evil [Evil] gods than you can imagine, so why would I want to join?’ He looked at me stunned. He quickly regained his smile, though I could sense he was furious. ‘Who are you then, hmm?’ I laughed. ‘I will be your doom if you’re not careful, for I am Solar, the one who destroyed Nemesis and many other Evil [Evil] gods.’ He didn’t make a move, obviously too shocked to do anything. I laughed. ‘What did you say? Are YOU one of the strongest gods ever? Don’t make me laugh!’ He stared at me, furious but afraid, and suddenly he shot at me. I dodged him easily. He looked at me fearfully. I shot at him, and created a small spiritual shield around me. He hovered in the air for too long, and I easily bashed him to the ground. When he hit the ground the ground, the earth shook. I laughed. ‘Is that all you can do?’ He looked at me, angrier than I had ever seen him before, but his fear won from his anger, and he shot back to his City. ‘And stay away!’ I shouted after him. Even as he fled he shouted: ‘I will take revenge!’ I thought of a fireball, and it shot towards him. It narrowly missed, but instead it went straight for the temple. The explosion made him cry of pain, and many building in the City were suddenly on fire. He wouldn’t bother me again for a while… ‘WHAHAHAHAAAAAA, WHAT AN IDIOT! He actually thought he could take you on! Way to go, boss!’ Demon looked happier than ever before. ‘I must say that WAS impressive, leader.’ Beardy looked at me, also smiling. ‘We will have to be careful though.’ He said, his smile fading a little. ‘He will certainly try to destroy us, and I feel that he IS quite powerful, even though you defeated him. He was unprepared this time, but he won’t be the next time. So we better prepare ourselves.’ ‘So, shall we continue with my lessons?’ Beardy looked delighted. ‘Naturally! Now pay attention leader, to use the water miracle to water plants and such, you must concentrate on using less power.’ I grinned, and aimed at another tree… I have no name for the next one yet, but I guess it will be written and posted soon. Please give me critism!

    I couldn't edit last post anymore so... Amaunator, I'll take Gythos, okay? Not Gynothos or Gythros or whatever. Second, I still want to know what you think of the 'change into a human' idea. Third, You still can recruit for the story. Fourth, to all people who read my story: GIVE ME CRITISM! TELL ME WHAT YOU THOUGHT WAS GOOD OR BAD! The post above this post is Chapter four. I still haven't got a name for chapter 5. That's all. Pss to Amaunator: Get online on MSN for once. You're never online.

    first: Good [Good] that you take the other name second: The 'change into human' idea is fine by me Happy [:)], flabberghast me! third: done that ... fourth: busy Happy [:)] P.S back: I was on smallband last few days, so i saved up on MSN Happy [:)] Well, there were some flaws in your writing, thought nothing that rereading can't mend. Let me point em out shall I? When he hit the ground the ground, the earth shook If you would have reread this chapter then you would have easily avoided this one Happy [:)]. angrier than I had ever seen him before this is just ridiculous Happy [:)]. You didn't know him, you never have, so it will be a lot of times you'll think you'll see him being 'the angriest he'd ever been'. It's your first encounter, try to dramatise it, but not make it an overstatement on first sight. I find it hard to believe that Beardy didn't object to the burning of his village (all be it in small proportions). He was even happy? Don't bring on contradictions like this, i almost thought you were entering the Evil [Evil] makes Evil [Evil] subject (if you are Evil [Evil] then even your Good [Good] side is tainted and loves a murder or two in its time). That's all, just small reminders really, but a human mind is easy to sidetrack Happy [:)]. P.S: I'll be writing on my own next chapter too.

    Idea's been used often enough. Maybe not into a human but a demigod kinda thing.
    Fourth, to all people who read my story: GIVE ME CRITISM! TELL ME WHAT YOU THOUGHT WAS GOOD OR BAD!
    Its all Good [Good]. I don't like giving bad criticism. It means I have to read harder, and let the words get in the way of the story Silly [:p] Nice original plotline, particularly the way that the 'newborn' (or 'newly awakened' in this case) is mega powerful. One with the creeds and all that Big Smile [:D] Keep it up.

    Thanks Amaunator and Bludgeonman. I've started improving it in word. I'll probably post it completely after the story is completely finished. I think I'll use the 'change into a human' idea. It'll be like a demigod. By the way, if you notice something strange, say it. I have been attacked by Amaunator because of my errors, and if I know what to improve I can think of it in the next chapters. So thanks AmaunatorBig Smile [:D]. Anyhow, next chapter will probably be mainly about preparing for war. Cya!

  •  09-02-2004, 20:16 829406 in reply to 828643

    HERE IT IS! AFTER HOURS OF WORK THE FIFTH CHAPTER HAS ARRIVED AT LAST! ENJOY! Chapter 5: The past. I looked to the land of my enemy. It had been over a year since we last met. He feared me, yet he was no coward. He would strike soon… In this year I had learned how to use the miracles, how I could summon my hand, and what had happened to this world after I left. After I left new gods had come, and war raged across the planet. After a while one of the gods created armies to help him conquer the world. Other gods did the same to protect themselves. Believers began to think it was an honour to fight in the name of their god. After a while large scale wars became normal, and huge armies fought each other. War wasn’t taken to most of the Greeks, for they were my most loyal followers, and their lands, which were known as the Core Archipelagos, were heavily protected by my power, even though I wasn’t there anymore. They lived in peace, yet they prepared for war, for if it would come to their lands, they didn’t want to be defenceless… And it came to them… A few powerful Evil [Evil] gods were led by one of the Elder Gods. This god was Evil [Evil] to the core, and together with the members of his clan, they used their power to summon a god powerful enough to break through the powerful barrier I had created before I had left. He answered the summons. At once a wave of Evil [Evil] spread over the planet, and this god became the most powerful god ever, even more powerful than I had ever been with the Creed. The gods who had summoned him swore to serve him eternally, and the Elder God of the clan became the greatest general of this god. The Elder God became known as the Slayer… The summoned god became known as The Doomlord… The god feared me for some reason, and decided all my followers should be killed, to make sure I wouldn’t return. So he prepared himself to destroy all my followers… And this god used his power to create a breach in the barrier I had created. He quickly created a portal on the other side of the barrier, and his general, the gods of the clan and their armies rushed in, to destroy all the Greeks who believed in me. They attacked several islands and killed all the inhabitants before the Greeks could do anything about the onslaught. The defenders of the islands were annihilated with surprising ease, and the Greek Empire was in complete disarray. However, they were able to quickly evacuate many isles that were near the completely ruined islands. They quickly organised themselves, and when the gods were done with razing the islands at the borders, and went to the Core Islands; they were surprised to be halted by an organised gigantic army. This army destroyed no less than 5 armies before retreating, and it had fought against armies twice his own size, and won thanks to using clever strategies. After this had happened, The Doomlord was furious, and all of the gods of the clan started using their brains as well, but the Greeks were fierce defenders, and they resisted every move of the invading armies. The advance of the armies was very slow, and nothing could change that. Other gods came to this war as well. Most notable among these gods were an Elder God, his apprentice and his clan, who aided the Greeks. They were Good [Good], and they did battle against the foes of the Greeks. Many Greeks joined their armies. Now the Evil [Evil] gods and their armies were pushed back out of their lands. But The Doomlord wouldn’t give up so easily. Furiously he went to the battlefield and he took hundreds of gigantic armies with him. He and his armies crushed any resistance they could find, and the tables were turned. Many of the Good [Good] gods were destroyed. But they still tried to stop this sudden advance. In the Greek Capital many ships were constructed, and many of the Greeks left to make sure that their tribe would survive… Even in the last hours it’s glory, the Capital looked beautiful, powerful and impossible to be conquered. Many of the Good [Good] gods had left, including the Elder God and his apprentice, but all had left armies to defend the last of the cities. A few of the Good [Good] gods decided to stay, to fight the great Evil [Evil] for the last time… The siege went on for a few months, but it was only delaying the inevitable. Constant arrows, boulders and fireballs weakened the defence and when the walls were finally breached, the armies rushed into the Capital, and after a few hours the last of the Greeks was dead. All the resistance had been crushed, and the last traces of a Greek Empire were razed to the ground. Many Greeks had either fled with the ships or with the Good [Good] gods, but they would be hunted forever. Only one island remained intact. It was a small isle, but it was protected by another barrier, much more powerful than the first. What was on that isle even I don’t remember… This all was told to me by Cratas, who knew the ancient lore better than anyone, for he was the keeper of the ancient tomes and scrolls, even before I had come back. The temple had been finished a while ago, and it was a huge tower, pearly white, and the most beautiful construction on the entire island. I liked to think in my temple. I loved to be at the top of my temple, were I could see the entire island through the windows. Here I could see anything Marrvic did. I would have to teach my followers how to fight, and soon as well. Marrvic wouldn’t wait until I was ready for him. With a grim smile I looked towards the land where I could see Marrvic teaching his stag how to lead his troops better. I would wait for his move, and when he made it, I would be ready. Please write critism! Oh, and to all who read this, Amaunator is now officially my corrector for the second draft (if it comes). I don't know when the next chapter is coming, so you'll have to look at my sig or take a look over here once in a while. Cya!

    It was good, the extra time really paid off. I'd criticize a few things, but they aren't that important and I'm too lazy Big Smile [:D] .
  •  09-03-2004, 8:14 829443 in reply to 828643

    Well I don't usually criticise (because of lethargy) but there was a bit that got me. I forget where but instead of dividing a sentence, you strung a load more on with 'and'. e.g. 'Yesterday I smote some nonbelievers and they were scared and they died and they ran away and they screamed.' D'ya get what I'm trying to say? Proof read it first to make sure it sounds right. Apat from that its great. Keep it up Big Smile [:D]

    AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGggHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A warning to all! DON'T INSTAL V1.20 PATCH! I installed it (for possible multiplayer fun) and I suddenly noticed there was no more music. I tried reinstalling v1.10, but it couldn't. I used the patch deinstaller, and then tried it again. No succes. The other patch didn't work as well. AND NOW I CAN'T EVEN START B&W ANYMORE! AND MY CREATURE IS NEARLY MORE POWERFUL THAN MY FIRST STRONGEST CREATURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As revenge I won't post another chapter until the problem has been solved. Good [Good] day!

    DUDE! Coooool down there, sonny. You can get (another) fix for that. You get it at kayssplace and it fixes the music. NOW WRITE, DAMMIT! ...please

  •  09-03-2004, 17:02 829477 in reply to 828643

    And how do I return B&W to it's working state? It can't start. And you may show me where the music part is downloadable (the original music please). And tell me how I can install the patch(es) again. THEN, and only then, I'll start on a new chapter. I don't wish to lose my creature or god by reinstalling it, so if you can give me an answer (which has effect), I'll start writing again, give you my MSN (you would be a real friend if you could help me so...) and perhaps even write and post two chapters in quick succesion. It may be stupid but I don't plan to give up. Cya!

  •  09-03-2004, 18:35 829486 in reply to 828643

    Well I thought I'd make an attempt anyway. Its all on Kayssplace if you know where to look. This is a big list of what to back up if you're going to do something drastic with BW and don't want to lose your profile by accident. The drastic thing I think would be the easiest to do would be backup your profiles, uninstall BW and then reinstall it. After that you can insert your backed up profiles. BE VERY CAREFUL DOING THIS! Make checklists to make sure you get everything you need. Having said that, even if you dont get all the files, make sure to get the creature ones 'cos we all know how much of an arse it is training the little sods. This is the audio fixer. I had the problem you had and this fixed it. No problem, aye? Good [Good] luck.

    Readers, I have Good [Good] news! B&W HAS BEEN REINSTALLED AND BACK-UPPED SUCCESFULLY! This means I'll start production again. Unfortunetly I had to make a change in the story, so it will probably not be for today. When next chapter is done, I'll put it in my sig. So cya!
  •  09-08-2004, 16:00 830052 in reply to 828643

    I've got more than 400 views, B&W has been back-upped succesfully... I've no excuses left... I guess I'll have to post a new chapter now... SO ENJOY! Chapter 6: When Good [Good] plans go wrong. ‘Men! You are absolute rubbish! How do you think to defeat the enemy, if you can’t even raise a sword properly? Pay attention, and try harder!’ The Weaponmaster of the City was training the recruits tirelessly. The recruits knew how to fight, and they knew it well, but they had to be better if they wanted to be my elite. They were training to become the Sunblades, and I wanted them to be the most powerful warriors ever. Their training was very hard, but they all kept going. Mastering the sword, spear, bow and shield, while wearing heavy armour wasn’t easy. And they had to run for hours at a time while fully equipped. I smiled, for I knew that Marrvic’s army would be crushed. Only his creature was a real problem. I didn’t have one, and I didn’t know where to find one. I knew I once had a creature, but I had forgotten nearly everything about him, even his name. I mentally summoned my conscience. Only Beardy appeared. ‘Good [Good] morning, leader. Why did you summon us?’ I said carefully, not to make him think I didn’t care about him: ‘Only you are here Beardy. Where is Demon?’ Beardy looked around. ‘Hmm. You’re right, leader. Just a minute.’ He disappeared. Seconds later he popped in sight again. ‘Well?’ I asked him. ‘He’s on the phone, leader. He’s got a mobile one. Apparently it’s called like that. Don’t ask me what it is or where he gets it.’ He said when he noticed my surprise. ‘Last thing I heard him say was: ‘YES, MOM! I wear other underwear everyday! YES, CLEAN UNDERWEAR! I’ve to go, mom! My god is calling me! No, I don’t work too much!’ I guess it was his worried mother.’ Beardy smiled, while I was laughing. Demon suddenly popped in sight. ‘What are you laughing at?’ Demon looked suspiciously at Beardy. ‘How’s your mom?’ I asked, still laughing. Demon froze, and then he started shouting at Beardy. I laughed even louder, and after a while I said: ‘Can we now start talking about what I wanted to talk about?’ Beardy look innocently at me. ‘That’s why we came, leader.’ Demon looked angrily at Beardy, while saying: ‘Yeah.’ I immediately started asking about my creature, but they knew as little about it as I did. Then I decided to ask if they knew a way to stop the wolf. Demon immediately said: ‘Fireball him until he's dead! Throw stones at him! Use lightning! Let your villagers fire countless arrows at him!’ Beardy said calmly: ‘As much as I disapprove his ideas, we must stop him before he can do some real damage. Using fireballs and such should do the trick.’ I looked at my enemy’s land. Marrvic wasn’t watching his stag for once. I knew I wouldn’t get many opportunities like this one. I quickly raised the totem of the City to make the villagers worship. I could cast miracles without prayerpower, but it would cost my own energy, and I would need it if I would enter his territory. I then started meditating. The sun increased my power even further. After an hour of meditation I felt ready. I used all my power to create an enormous and extremely powerful fireball. I had difficulty to keep it in control. Marrvic seemed to have noticed nothing. I charged my powers, and then shot towards his land, towards his creature. Marrvic turned around, and he saw me, but he was too late to do anything. As I neared the stag, I used my last powers to throw the fireball. The stag couldn’t even try to dodge it… And the result was stunning… A gigantic explosion shook the ground, and flames enveloped the stag. His screams were unbearable. ‘NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!’ Marrvic looked shocked, terrified, and afraid. Afraid for his creature. After less than 10 seconds the stag collapsed. Where he had stood, there now was a crater, filled with lava. Everything that had been there was heavily burned, if not pulverised. The stag had a hole in his belly, and blood was streaming out. ‘WAY TO GO, BOSS! YOU SHOWED HIM!’ An extremely happy Demon and a saddened and shocked Beardy popped in sight. ‘Why did you do this, leader? This is extremely Evil [Evil]!’ I sighed. ‘Look, I accidentally used too much force, so give me a break. I certainly didn’t want this.’ I heard a sound behind me, and turned around. Marrvic stared furiously at me. ‘How dare you, to kill my creature?’ He hissed. ‘How dare you? YOU WILL SUFFER!’ Unlimited hatred fuelled his glow, and I could hardly see. ‘Fortunately, my creature can be revived. And when he is, I’ll lay siege to your pathetic City, and crush it under my heel!’ I actually felt fear, for the first time since I had returned. My plan hadn’t removed a dangerous factor; it had added an extra one. Instead of just having to deal with an army and a creature, I now had to deal with a powerful angry god as well. I turned around and fled back to my territory. ‘YOU WILL BE DESTROYED!’ Marrvic’s voice came. I was in trouble now, and really deep as well. I now knew I had only one chance to defeat Marrvic… I had to find my creature. Please give critism!

  •  09-08-2004, 19:37 830078 in reply to 828643

    That was good, but I think a fireball is more immolation that concussion. And seems to me that Marrvic was already pretty tiked to begin with.
  •  09-08-2004, 20:15 830084 in reply to 828643

    First of all, it was a superpowerful fireball. Second, what do you mean with tiked?
  •  09-09-2004, 14:48 830149 in reply to 828643

    Yeah I aggree It would be better if he was just consumed by the fire not blown to shreds couse you can do that with a fast flying rock...
  •  09-09-2004, 17:26 830167 in reply to 828643

    The fireball didn't shred the stag to pieces! The force of the impact made sure he had many (large) wounds yes, but he wasn't blown to pieces! And the fire was one of the most painfull and damaging factors. If the stag would have been blown to pieces, I would have said something like this: The power of the explosion was extreme. An arm was ripped of by the force of the explosion. His blood shot out of his wounds, and organs followed quickly. His head was nearly blasted from his body. A leg was blown to pieces. The remaining parts of the stag fell to the ground, crushing everything beneath them... You get the picture... And Marrvic hated me before this, but after I had done this, his hatred increased EXTREMELY much. I don't know when the next chapter will be here, since on Saterday I'll play my first ever multiplayer game vs Amaunator, I'll have to make homework and such etc. I'll try to write and post it as soon as possible though. Cya!
