They agreed to create.” @SpiritOfWrath Quote Yep. The Wi-Fi was really spotty there. Madness, the first to take action, created the wind and the beasts. Rage, the second, hated the creations. He never agreed to the deal they had made. So he created fire, to destroy Madness's… children. But the wind, something Rage could not see or predict, protected the creations. Intellect, the next to act, created nature, the plants and the cliffs, this earth which we walk upon. A home, so their efforts would not waste away. And, as a safeguard, he created ice, as he foresaw the dangerous consequences of the fire. Mirth watched, then placed her influence on all their creations. She made the beasts playful, the wind melodious, flame warming, nature beautiful, and, at the last, manipulated ice into snow. Finally, the humans were created, children of all four Spirits. The Spirits departed then, to watch their creations. Quote Ehh im just copy pasting it from the short story. If you want better context, I posted the entire thing in my writing thread. (Also, I noticed something. I keep on flip flopping between Souls and Spirits. The way I originally had it was that the 4 were Souls, and everyone else’s conscious was a Spirit, but at some point I changed it)

Use your power to give them a discordant sense. This fits the upcoming theme. Madness was not content to stay away from the world she had a hand in creating. She returned, and began to communicate with individuals. These individuals were the first of what became the Great Servants, granted the power of wind manipulation. At the beginning, they were both revered and hated for their skills. But, they were generally respected. They had the power to destroy, and nothing garners respect like that.

Through the Living Wrath he/him Posted October 26, 2024 Author Posted October 26, 2024 Eventually, Madness’s communication took its toll. The Servants began to go insane, reduced to mere beasts. Any town that was previously graced with their presence was soon decimated. Luckily, they did not seem to harbor any further malice for humankind, and disappeared into the forests. Humankind was safe, for a time. Quote I might have Dave bash in here with me and gather everybody in this town. (Other than y’all, of course. The goal would be chaos)

Now, give them some small hatred. However, the people began to hate the monsters that had attacked them. Warriors began to hunt them, with an irrational Rage. These were the second of the Great Servants. They, on their hunts, began to embody irregular powers, this time of fire. Heat. When the hunts stopped, they became restless, and eventually embarked on a crusade, attempting to purge the world of those they deemed unworthy. Quote How are you guys with agriculture?

Intellect, quick to respond, began to nurture his own servants, to fight back these new crusaders. The servants were granted the ability to manipulate ice. These servants, driven to continually learn, became battle monks, quickly absorbing many varieties of different fighting techniques.
