The king, queen, and Bella on the queenâs arm were on top of Avoryâs castle tower. It was midnight and the wind was blowing. The king started to chant some words then cast bright magical gleam around the tower. The light was so bright; it can be seen from all around the metropolis.
âOh merciful god of Light, god of love, got that shines the world with hope and happiness. I, the king of Avory, beg for your helpâ The king said loudly while looking to the night sky.
It was silent for a moment then suddenly the magical gleam disappeared and the wind stopped. It was darkness for a while then a single bright white light appeared above, so bright that the King covered his eyes with his hand. The queen turned her head back while still carrying Bella and covering her from the light. The light dimmed then a regular size woman was seen hovering in mid-air. Her hair was glowing with golden light, white glowing cloth covering her breasts and another made into a long skirt that splits on the left side, revealing a long beautiful leg.
âWhy have you summon me, king of Avory?â she smiled at the king
The King looked at the God. He turned to look at the queen and called her to his side. The queen quickly walked to the king with Bella in her arms.
âOur only child is illâ he told the God âWe have tried magic and medicine but nothing seems to break her fever. She is getting weaker and weaker by the day and we fear we would lose herâ he explained to the God with a sad tone.
The God hovered down, gently placing her feet on the floor of the tower, and turned her head to look at Bella. Beads of sweat filled the childâs forehead and she was breathing heavily.
âLet me hold herâ she said to the queen
The queen gave Bella to the God gently and slow
âPlease help herâ the queen said with a sad tone
The God held Bella in her arm and looked at her. She walked around the tower slowly touching Bellaâs face. Her smile turned into a worried face.
âThis child⊠she has been affected by the god of darknessâs energyâ
The king and queen were shocked by what the God.
âbu⊠but how?â stuttered the queen âcan she be cured?â
The God walked around the king and queen while carrying and looking at Bella. The god was silent and seemed to be thinking.
âThe dark effect has seeped inside her; the price to cure her is highâ she turned to the king and queen.
âWe would pay any priceâ the king said, confidently
âThe price is mine to payâ The god of Light explains âI will have to lend her part of my powers to cure herâ
The God walked around the king and queen for a moment in silent, still looking at the baby. Then She stopped moving and looked at the king and queen.
âIt fills me with joy how much you have been helping the people of Daughtris for a long time without expecting any reward. I shall cure your child but I expect you to continue helping the people of Daughtrisâ
The God walked up to the queen and gave Bella back to her.
âYou will grow up to be an important person, Bellaâ she whispered while looking at Bella.
The king and queen never took their eyes of the God, worrying. The God turned her head to look at both at them.
âDo not worry. I shall cure her and in the same time, give her special powers. Part of me will be with her alwaysâ the god smiled
The god touched Bellaâs forehead with her finger then the Godâs body started to glow softly.
The God then dispersed into tiny lights. Some of the lights disappeared while some hovered to Bella seeped inside her. Bella started to glow a little but the light soon fades.
The queen touched Bellaâs forehead with her hand and felt the fever is going away.
âThank youâ the king thanked the God
âThank you, merciful godâ the queen said while crying tears of joy, looking at Bella, hugging her.

12 years later
Venash, the king of Pruwas, was sitting on his throne. For a king that had not much emotions, he felt bored.
"summon my children" he said to his higher servants
A few minutes later, all the children huddled in the throneroom to see Venash. Venash was resting his head on his hand and started to speak with a souless tone
"I shall keep this simple" he paused and continued "I shall supply you with a small great army using my own powers... and with that army, you shall try and conquer all of Daughtris... You can use any kind of method you wish... I do not care... When all of Daughtris is conquered and controlled by all of you , I shall give the throne of Pruwas to the person that had conquered the most of Daughtris"
So the war started. The children went on a raid, claiming cities, towns, and villages, one by one, as their own, using force or/and diplomacy.
The king of Avory was planning a strategy with his lieutenants in Avory castle war room to counter the childrens attack when suddenly a single bright light appeared out of nowhere. The light then transformed into a graceful woman, Hikari, the God of Light, in the flesh. Everyone fell silent and froze, stunned. Hikari wasted no time and spoke.
"King Judan" she called the king and paused for a moment before continuing "you cannot win this battle on your own" she walked slowly to the king "find the other Gods" she stopped a few feet in front of the king and continued "Send Bella... Bella will be able to sense the other Gods"

some time had passed after the Gods appearance before the king and his men
Bella was in her room, her face looks sad, some dress were on her bed waiting to be packed. She was looking at the morning sun from the large rectangle window where the fresh sun ray shined through, lighting up her face. She stood there for a moment then a knocking sound came from a door a few feet behind Bella.
âAre you ready, princess?â said a voice from outside the door.
Bella turned around and walked to her bed
âJust a little longer, Gabeâ she walked to her bed, sat there, and started to pack her stuff slowly, placing them in a small magical satchel.
âThe king and queen is waiting for you downstairs, princessâ Gabe said from outside the door
Bella hung her satchel on her shoulder and walked to the door and opened it. Gabe was in front of the door, looking at Bella, smiling.
âIâm ready, Gabeâ she looked down on her feet.
Gabe slowly reached for Bellaâs hand while bending down so that his head is levelled with Bellaâs head. As Gabe held her hand, Bella raised her head and looked into Gabeâs eyes
âDo not worry, princessâ he said to the princess âeverything will be back to how it used to beâ
Bella nodded and smiled at Gabe.
Gabe accompanied Bella as she walked to the throne room. The king and king was sitting on the throne, talking a general. The king turned his head and saw Bella walking down the stairs with Gabe behind her.
âYou may leave now, general. We will continue this discussion later in the war roomâ
The king and queen stood up as Bella walked up to them. Bella was looking down on the ground rather than looking the king and queen in the eyes. The queen walked to Bellaâs side and placed her hand on her shoulder.
âAre you alright dear?â The queen asked
âIâm worried, motherâ she continued âworried for the safety of Avory and worried that I would not be able to convince the other god elementsâ
The queen hugged Bella, her eyes started to tear up âyou will do just fine, dearâ
The king walked to the queen and Bella and places his hands on the queenâs and Bellaâs shoulder. Bella looked up to see her father looking at her.
âComeâ the king said with a clear voice âwe shall go to the take-off area and meet the others that will join you on your questâ
