Chapter 7 - Chapter 7 - A Primordial Battle: Cath vs Nihil

In the beginning there was just the void.

Then came Chaos.

Chaos upon birth woke to the darkness, the abyss, the void, the nothingness

No world tree

No realms of any sort

No core material worlds

No life

Just nothingness floating with it's sole proprietor

The void himself, Nihil

In this nothingness, chaos was born

His name was Cath. Cathal Chaos.

It was then the two clashed after chaos woke

Fighting for a millennia the battle, the blows thrown at one another, the darkness clashing with chaos created the world and everything beyond. Unbeknownst to them, their battle not only manifested the cosmic energies that created the world and everything beyond but also created Metnaðrs and various lifeforms. These cosmic energies created a The Core Prime Material World consisted many realms, which each realm was triple the size that of a universe. And around it was more Core Prime Material Worlds too many to count with the same kind of structure. Each housing it's own Nine Netherworlds realm serving as it's world's hell and a realm serving as it Heaven called the One True Paradise realm. And beyond all those Core Prime Material Worlds existed a realm named The High Ones realm, a realm of pure order, of divinity with layers of 4-dimensional time spaces each inhabiting it's own Celestial of Order. Then came the Realm of the Conceptual where death, time, and justice live as cosmic beings. Then beyond all that came the one Chaos fought the realm of the nothingness, the abyss, the void, the Realm of Nihil. The Realm of the Void, which transcends everything has a whole, serving as the very beginning of this story.

Cath was defeated in the end only causing little to no damage to Nihil. Cath fell into the world him and Nihil unintentionally created landing in a volcanic mountain. As time went on Cath healed from his wounds from the battle with Nihil. It took 1 million years and in that time healing he spent his time in this volcanic mountain building a kingdom from within, shaping it to his will. There outside of his mountain was Odal which was a continent and outside of Odal was Heimr, Arinn, Garðor, Bú, Heimili, Sæheimr, Solheim, Fagerheim, Vesleheim, Hvila, and many more. Which lives many different lifeforms elves, dwarves, trolls, vampires, land spirits, and a lifeform called humans. Out of all the different humans though there was the Malakarians. The Malakarians are know for their overwhelming Metnaðr's of the aether. The aether was the quintessence. Only Malakarians could possess it. It is said that the aether is the purest, most concentrated essence or perfect embodiment of something. Composing that of heavenly bodies, dark energy causing cosmic acceleration.

Over time Cath's power of chaos faded but never left him completely. For when his chaotic heart finally does burn out it would restart in his spawn as long as said spawn's body was nurtured properly just as the first Giant Ymir whose flesh made up the The Core Prime Material Realm and whom was also nourished by Auðumbla. Auðumbla was a primordial cow that rose from the cosmic void in the midst of Nihil and Cath's battle.

Throughout the years all the different types of lifeforms inside and outside of Odal built their Kingdom's. The first Malakarian known as Ulf didn't just build a kingdom but also a family and also built a quite nice life with his family. Many years later after finally building and having a family and his Kingdom recruiting men to serve him as they saw they were able to live off the North's territory and the sea around them they joijed Ulf's cause to build a beautiful Odal. Ulf sought out for new experiences as so did all the other lifeforms who seeked out of their domains to see what was about. However it ended in war. Clashing with another the West and the East Kingdoms already were and the North hid away from both the East and West who again were always at each other's throats not knowing the North started to attack the North who only wanted peaceful relations but in defense Ulf and his small army fought back. Seeing this Cath would not allow any to have any type of gain. Smashing the West and the East with ease barley leaving any life in the West and East. All to see who would rule the continent. Who would rule Odal. As it was later named by Ulf himself. Ulf saw Odal as home and although he was at war he never sought out to conquer but Ulf had no choice but to participate in war to defend the North.

When the North and South crossed paths however though it was different from when Cath faced the East and West. Much different. The North and South's battles always left weeks of carnage in their wake. Cath was always surprised on how any lifeform was able to combat him this much and his forces of chaos. Throughout numerous decades Cath killed multiple Malakarian Kings. As it was only Malakarians whom could combat. It was something about their Metnaðrs that held The Aether that weakend Cath. Which was always unknown to him. Cath just saw them as powerful humans. That weakend Chaos. Still in awe though, Cath asked himself what he had created, unintentionally. "How could these human Malakarians be this strong" the embodiment of chaos, asked himself. "When will they cease to exist!!!" He screamed, shaking the mountain. Ever since there has not be a day where the Malakarians did not haunt the existence of Chaos.

Present Day

Cath soaking in his mountain still

"Kill All Malakarians" Chaos speaks

The West Capital Lorien Doriath

Royal spokesperson: "I present the King of the Elves Aelarion"

Aelarion speaks "I want to announce my new Kingsguard commander and it's newest addition times two. First the commander of my Kingsguard Fëanor and also joining him in my Kingsguard is Galan. These men, no these warriors avenged my fallen Kingsguard and saved my life the West when Cath's general Balor attacked our Kingdom.

Fëanor is best described as a slender but yet muscular elf with Blonde short slicked back hair cut on the sides and always wore a sleeveless shirt with pants and boots all dark green with hints of black. And the same with Galan but instead of dark green he wore light leaf yellow colored vest with hints of black same with his pants and his boots black but he had long blonde hair all wore down like a lion's mane. Galan and Fëanor were like brothers torn from their families as they watched them get butchered by Southern soldiers. And now elite members of Aelarion's Kingsguard.

Makar, House Sabre at the Capital The Sheath located in Makar in the Eastern Part of Makar. Also known as Kingdom of the Blades, within Makar.

Victor Head of House Sabre, trains with his son Bernard to better his sword skills.

"C'mon Bernard you're failing!!!!. No wonder why you lost to Galan of House Elven." Yells Victor to his son Bernard.

In a heat of rage Bernard swings his blade and misses everytime. His father countering everybody swing from his son's blade. Victor in frustration sweeps his son off his feet and points the blade at his neck encouraging his son surrender. In which Bernard does. Bernard knocks his father's blade out the way and storms off out of anger.

Victor watches on as his son's Strom's off and his wife and Lady of House Sabre, Zeneri walks up to Victor. "Maybe you are to hard on him, my love" says Zeneri. And Victor then replies with a look of one that is upset "With the way everything is nowadays I don't think I have much of a choice, Zeneri" and then Victor walks off." *Zeneri sighs*

"Lady Zeneri, the King Masaru has arrived" says a Royal Guard of House Sabre

"So unexpected only 3 days after his crowning. I shall inform Victor and him and I will soon be down to greet the king." Says Zeneri

Moments later Masaru is met with Victor and Zeneri

"King Masaru, what is the pleasure we owe such a arrival?" Says Victor

Masaru responds "We must move forward with our plans to attack the South. How many men can you spare but still leave here as we must make the people of all of Makar are safe and I won't have my mother's kin be put in harms way while we are away fighting Cath and his forces"

"House Sabre can spare a total of 1,000 soldiers, my King. Leaving more than 2,000 here to help guard Makar" replies Victor

Both look at each with serious faces and then smirk and laugh "Ah that is more than enough!!!" A manly hugs between the two. "We shall have a drink!" Says Masaru

Both sitting down having a curved horn cup of ale conversate

"How is your sister, my King?" Asked Victor

"She is getting by but still struggling with death of our father. She trained for what 2 years here with you before coming home and to impress my father and she never really to prove anything to him due to his death." Replies Masaru

Victor then says "She is a tough one she'll be okay give her time. She did defeat Matchitehew who was the embodiment of the chaotic Wendigo"

Masaru replies "True and one of Cath's most brutal generals at that. Capable of wiping out entire continents. Anyways, how is everything else?"

The two continue to conversate

Somewhere on the coast in a town known for it's port trade called Sæheimr Bolverkr ask around for the greedy dwarf named Fáfnir
