When time was not even time, a king was proclaimed, to rule over every abyss, ocean and land. On the day of his coronation, God and Lucifer descended to earth. They came with gifts for the young king, to help in his upcoming reign.
God decided to give him seven gifts, seven blessings to guide the king: Knowledge, to lead humanity trough the path of light; Fate, to never look back; Luck, to never cross ways with sin; Restraint, to never fall under any dark thought; Power, to protect his people from evil intentions; Health, to heal himself and his land from any harm; And finally Wealth, to satisfy his people desires.
By the other side, the Fallen Angel granted the king an empty book, which would move thoughts, time and death itself to fulfill his owner's will.
And so the years passed, the king used God’s blessings to guide humanity and wrote on the Demon’s Book to rule over time and death.
The day came for the ruler to die, but God and the Fallen Angel felt compassion for him, so the night of his death they descended to his chambers.
God told the king, “My son, you’ve been wise, generous and honest. I will fight death for you, but only if you swear to destroy the Fallen’s Book.” Then the Angel came and said “I’ll pay Death to keep her away, but only if you ask God to take his gifts away.”
Two options were proposed, only one could be chosen. After thinking well, the king decided to accept the Fallen’s deal. Years of struggling passed, and the king’s glory faded to tyranny, but finally his death came, and this time there was no delay. It all ended that night, the king, the empire, and all it was; only the book, and what was wrote on it remained of what once was the first kingdom alive.
The ancient tongues tell that the king wrote his final will on the book, which still lurks between us and sculpts our world.
