Ryukai
In the Beginning…
As far back as I can remember I was created to be a leader, a beacon of hope for weaker beings. When the Gods decided to begin painting on their blank canvas which was the black void of the infinite cosmos, they formed planets and moons for their soon-to-be sentient creatures to inhabit and suns and stars to give light to guide these beings. The Gods formed each planet and star to their own specifications, each a unique representation of themselves, thus creating the diverse universe we live in today. Then as the Gods looked down from their Heaven, they realized that this dark void was a lonely place indeed. The Gods knew one another very well and it became quite boring to socialize with the same few people for their eternity, so with the intent on filling their universe with an innumerable amount of mortal beings so they could prevent this lonely, claustrophobic void from ever being like this. And so it was to be as they sent forth their creations to inhabit these wondrous lands, each with a unique look, name and personality. And as time would go on, and these beings reproduced, looks, names and personalities would mix and match to create even more infinitely unique and different beings. The Gods' dreams had finally come true…
At first, things were simple, plain and easy. These primitive beings were getting used to life and all of its bounties. But time went on and on and just as the Gods had wanted, these beings developed, all with desires and emotions that were of a primal, feral state. Greed and envy began to circulate within societies and man fought against man for their own personal gain. Chaos engulfed the entire plane and the Gods were responsible. There was one God who proposed a solution. To create an omnipotent being much like themselves to send to the mortal plane to cease the Chaos. His name was Silver Wolf. The Gods assembled to all lend their power in creating this all-powerful being, and in Silver Wolf's own image, it was I that came from this ritual, the first demi-god. My name is Ryukai, I am the Gold Wolf. In Silver Wolf's own design, the Elven race was propagated into the mortal worlds. I traveled to world after world to establish law and order into these primitive societies. I preached the names of the Almighty Ones that watched over them all, and told grand stories of their power and how their worlds and their people were created in their brilliant artistic design. The people were awestruck over the tales I told, and began to record them and pass them along through the generations. I had delivered these people into peace and gave them hope, and greatened societies with a spoken and written language that they had developed on their own when they began to record my tales. The people began to worship my creators and it was with this faith that the people had significantly ceased their fighting with the looming threat of their Gods who were angered with their recent behavior. At long last it seemed my work was done and looking over my shoulder one last time before ascending back to my home in the Heavens, I was proud of the work I had done, and the immense progress I had made in developing these cultures, and all of the great people I had met in the process. The Gods' dream really had come true, and I had experienced this firsthand.
