Rise Of A Fallen God 158 Her Reasons

"Tell me what you and Dashnell did together!

Don't try to hide anything from me, once I see him again I will dig it out of his very mind if I have too." Nala said as she glared at her friend.

"You don't have to do that, all I did was travel with him in his journey, teach him how to craft weapons and a bit about life and love. He is quite adorable, he tried to ignore me at first but once he let me get close to him, I gobbled him up!"

Hearing Istina talk about Dashnell as if he was a child confused her. "Istina which Dashnell were you with? His adult self?" Istina replied fast as she said.

"The one we watched over through the Spear of course, were you not talking about his younger self that you fell in love with? Oh... hahaha seems we went after different versions of the same guy.

I tried to go after his older self but he smiled at me and vanished before I appeared before his younger self, when I met him he was fighting with his bare hands against your Creed.

They seemed to be running at him without regards to their own lives, I just taught him how to use weapons and he became obsessed with weapon making. It helped keep his mind focused and helped him not lose himself to his growing rage, he was also always singing."

Nala rolled off of Istina as she set up and looked at the woman strangely. I guess his taste in young girls came from you preying on him when he was still a child. You and her...

Istina. Why and how did you even get to that period in time?"

"Time is easy to control and manipulate, you should already know why.

All of us G.o.ds of Creation the First as we are called, can do almost anything from Creation to Destruction. Our Creations only ever see the good side of us and never what we don't wish for them to see and if they do....

Well I am sure you have seen bright lights going off from time to time.

Most of us try our best to never give too much power to our Creations always limiting them, but not you Nala you and you alone Created the G.o.ds of Creation a race that is unrestricted and unrestrained.

This caused many of the others to fear you and want to kill or control you.

You should know that none of us try to create anything with a G.o.d affinity, yet you did so so willingly and effortlessly.

Everyone of your 10 G.o.d Races were all holders of G.o.d affinites that rivaled our own affinity of Creation, this is why the Oldest and most powerful Fraction wants you on their side.

You are dangerous in their eyes but young and naive, we have watched you grow and Create so many different G.o.d affinities.

Yet you knew which ones to hide from their prying eyes, like that child Valara.

You sent her to the future where she would be near that child Dashnell who they fear more than death. You should know that if anyone of our Creations is born with a G.o.d affinity they are killed or kept as Guardians for their Creator.

All with the exception of two affinities, that would be Dashnells affinity of Balance, and Valara's affinity of Time. These two affinities are always killed in their infancy.

Time is a simple one as all of us have the freedom to control time unless someone with the affinity to control it is born. At first they may not restrict us G.o.ds but sooner or later they will stop us from doing as we please, as they are bond to the instinctive nature to manage and control time.

They are its protectors and try their best to keep Time stable and free flowing, while we are moving from past, present to future. All while messing things up and hiding away our shame and atrocities.

Long ago a few who held these affinities tried to manage Time and create rules for us G.o.ds their Creators to follow, they met a quick end at the hands of the Old G.o.ds who wished to keep their past deeds hidden and unknown.

So every time an affinity of Time is born it is quickly killed by the one who rules over that Realm and they gain a better grasp on controlling time by absorbing that affinity. The reason you can control time so well is the fact that you left Valara alive right?" Istina asked.

Nodding her head Nala answered her. "I have been getting better at manipulating time as she gets stronger, she does not know it herself yet but with time she will understand her powers."

Istina smiled and continued. "Indeed Nala this is why many of the G.o.ds fear you, they are unsure if you will follow their old ways and kill off what they fear most.

In my long life I have only ever seen this affinity once be it within one of us or under the control of one of our many Creations.

Balance... The affinity of Balance is a scary thing, it has yet to be fully understood. In the war long ago we killed the old holder of Balance... We think we did.

That war lasted long enough for us Old G.o.ds to grow fearful of a lot of things, the G.o.d of Balance was far to strong. Stronger than all of us combined most likely due to being a G.o.d of Balance, numbers meant nothing to him that was until we started to destroy our own Realms.

We wiped out all life just to weaken him and yet he was still stronger than us, after so many years of war of fighting we finally outlived him. He only lacked true Immortality, his Creator never liked creating anything that could outlive him so he always left that out of his Creations.

So many of us died during that war, it was also during that war we found out that we can never come back to life like our Creations who are reborn so long as we their Creator lives.

This truth also forced me into hiding, I hid away from my old friends and my Creations as well.

I was so afraid of death that I awakened the affinity for it, my understanding for it amplified and this also made me realize that we are able to gain control over any affinity so long as we understand it.

So I tried to understand life.

I failed until you were born, I watched your life and it allowed me to once again open up and stop hiding away. Watching you live your life showed me all my flaws when I was young, I never truly lived life I feared and controlled it much like my fear of death.

Once I understood my own flaws about life and death my affinity of life finally awakened.

I should also tell you that many of our kind claim to be the oldest and that they are able to show you our hidden past but I will have you know that I am the Oldest and Strongest of our kind.

Only those of the Old Fraction know of me, those younger G.o.ds of Creation know nothing about me as that was when I hid away from the world.

Only you have earned my trust and friends.h.i.+p Nala.

The two of us are the only ones that know that Dashnell has the affinity of Balance, let's keep it that way Nala.

Those from the Old Fraction will come see you once more, they will poke around and check to see which unique affinities are within your Realm.

The old affinity of Balance was destroyed by us, we ensured no one was allowed to possess it and those who tried to take it and flee were stuck down by all of us.

Everyone within the Old Fraction is afraid that you will create another monster, another G.o.d of Balance and this time we are sure we won't be able to kill it. As you are far stronger than the previous Creator of Balance.

Having known that I will die to that youth in the future confirms that he is something we can no longer manage.

The good thing is his obligation to perform his duty, or should I say his loyalty to his Creator, to you.

Nala everything that has happened today will cause rippling changes in time, lucky for us Dashnell died in the Void before he brought us back to the world of the living. This is the very reason he is unbound by all our normal rules, even us G.o.ds must obey a few of the Natural laws of the universe.

Take life and death as an example, while we are immortal we can perish permanently if we die, all of our kind are bound by this law and fear it Nala.

All but us now that Dashnell is our Creator."

Nala looked at the crazed Istina for a moment and found it hard to stop her from talking, Nala kept listening to Istina ramble on about everything she wanted to know.

From how they formed their rules regarding how they all treat each other, the powerful Old Fraction filled with the oldest of their kind.

What they both knew is that they had to keep it a secret that Dashnell was already fully grown and his affinity of Balance had grown beyond their imaginations.

What they feared most is that while all that has happened inside Nala's Realm and after Istina's Realm collapsed after her first death before restabilizing eons later along with the reappearance of Nala's the other G.o.ds of Creation did nothing.

They were both sure many of the Fractions were watching Nala's Realm and if not the Old Fraction along with Higras were sure to be paying close attention to anything going on within Nala's Realm.

If they saw Nala's Realm collapse they should have also noticed its return and during that time why did they not investigate or demand answers on how she came back to life after dying.

This was even more true for those of the Old Fraction that knew of Istina's origins.

She feared they were planning on capturing Dashnell but were too afraid to do so until they were ready, after all they all learned that Dashnell could bring them back to life. While the two of them knew the exact method the others would have to demand answers from Dashnell himself.

Istina knew they were to afraid to confront the youth.....

As she stopped thinking she realized that she knew of what would happen in the future, those events have yet to happen and she can plan ahead and make it so no one not even Nala would be aware of her actions to conceal Dashnells existence from the Old Fraction and Higras.

"Nala! Make sure you remember to keep 'him' a secret. You must never reveal anything about Dashnell to anyone not even Alda or that Creed General who survived. No one must know about his affinity of Balance until he is born and everything that must happen happens.

I will be busy preparing for our date with death, so while I am away be wary of the Old Elder he will try his best to pressure you to join the Old Fraction. Once you refuse him, show him your might don't hold back and show him that you hold the affinity of Destruction within you."

Hearing Istina tell her to use her affinity of Destruction Nala looked away shyly as she watched Istina leave, she had never told anyone that she gained the affinity of Destruction as it was looked down upon among their kind to have awakened it so early in one's life.

As the youngest of her kind Nala was ashamed that the second affinity she awakened was that of Destruction, but this is also the reason why in the future she could create the G.o.d of Destruction that will save her Realm and eventually give birth to Dashnell G.o.d of Balance.
