The Absolute Ruler of Nothing
Everything changed when the fire god, Azir, attacked his brothers…
Their parents, the gods Ying and Yang, had created the earth as a gift to them. There, the four of them could live together and use their power as much as they wanted. Each of the four gods had their own kingdom, where they ruled as they pleased. The goddess of Water, Hydra, an elegant dolphin, ruled the oceans. The god of earth, Bengala, a noble tiger, ruled the lands. The goddess of air, Anivia, a graceful eagle, ruled the skies. Finally, the powerful dragon Azir, the god of fire, ruled the Abyss. Each god was the absolute ruler of their land and they all had servants who worshipped them and lived in their respective kingdom. Hydra was the ruler of all aquatic creatures, Bengala was the leader of the terrestrial beings, Anivia controlled those who roamed the skies, and Azir manipulated draconic entities. Everything went nice and easy at first, but peace is truly something ephemeral. Azir, as greedy as he was, wasn't satisfied with only controlling the Abyss. He desired to control the whole planet. As his greediness grew, the vigorous dragon made up his mind to kill his brother and sisters.
-”Go sweet children of mine, burn everything down with your flames! Only then will we be the rulers of the world!” Azir ordered.
- “As you please my lord” his dragons replied.
A couple of years later, deep beneath the surface of the ocean, an hysteric stingray rushed through the halls of a golden palace.
-”God Hydra! Azir is finally here! What can we do?” the stingray asked.
-”Bengala and Anivia have both fallen at the hands of Azir, we are the only ones left. I’ll try to convince him to stop this war. If he agrees or disagrees, either way, it’ll end here.”
Despite Hydra´s effort to convince his brother of leaving her kingdom, Azir´s only reply was,
“I won’t be able to control this land until you die… So long sister”
And so, all the animals and other creatures now belonged to Azir. However, the greed in his heart had an effect on his Draconic minions. They could all spit black fire, a type of fire that will never die off until it completely burns everything in contact with it. The whole earth was consumed by those black flames. Their uncontrollable power, turned everything into ashes, even Azir´s minions. When things settled down, Azir the new ruler of Nada, remain alone with nothing nor someone left to rule.
