or maim an original elemental God. She plotted with her son and when night fell, as Uranus spread him over the Earth and lowered him towards his wife to make love to her, Cronus lashed out with the bespelled sickle and castrated his father, flinging away the genitals.
Many mystical creatures sprang from the genitals of Uranus’s blood and sperm; some horrific, some mischievous, and others beautiful. From his blood sprang vengeful gods and goddesses (Giants, Meliae). From his sperm sprang the beautiful and mischievous gods and goddesses (Aphrodite, Goddess of Love; Nymphs of Ash, Merfolk, Selkie, Kelpie). Made a Eunuch by his son, Uranus was humiliated and faded into obscurity, a silent watcher of the transgressions of man, God, and creatures. Gaia flourished, becoming mother to all and advisor to some.
Cronus and Rhea were the first who ruled over the Gods. As promised to his mother Gaia, Cronus released all her children from within the depth of her caverns but they wrought destruction across the land and had to be immediately imprisoned once again. Under Cronus’s and Rhea’s watch, the world flourished with peace and prosperity. However, the Fates had a different plan. As the children of the Titans battled the balance of good and evil within their hearts, a great war was in the making; the war between the Titans and Olympians.
Gods Blood
The war between the Titans and Olympians created chaos in the human realm as well . Their emotions and blood spilled onto earth creating a tidal wave of bloodlust. The first drops of blood that spilled to Earth mingled with the minerals and matter creating the Dragons of the realm. These creatures were of purity born of the natural elements found on Earth. Their memories and magic came from the blood of their creators, and their wisdom came through the experience of their immortal lives. They watched as the mortal civilization matured. They watched the trials and tribulations. In the beginning they were mentors and friends. Mortals were a mixture of evil and good, continuously struggling with both. This began to change as the bad blood of the Gods morphed their innocents into greed, jealousy, wantonness, and hatred. The balance between good and evil became precariously imbalanced.
As the heavens became more and more divided , the greater gods turned their backs on what they perceived to be lesser beings. This included minor Gods, mortals, magical creatures alike. With the neglect of their creators, some creatures became despondent or angry and others didn’t care one way or the other . Stuck in the mortal realm, they began to mingle with mortals. Some created families, taking to husband or wife mortals and sharing their essence with them to elongate their short lives. Others created Kingdoms to rule over. Some hid themselves, content to wander the beautiful land, interacting with the creatures that were innocent and pure. Many turned their backs on the mortal realm, living on a magical plane separate, yet parallel.
But not all creatures turned their backs on mortals. Their brethren, the angels still watched over mankind. They guided them through their dreams, or whispered in their ear. However, after time some angels felt forsaken and their innate goodness twisted into something else. As their purity became blemished their physical light and beauty changed into a dark contrast.
Some remained half in the light and half in the dark letting human emotions rule their actions. Others turned completely to the darkness and became demons. The world was changing and with it its inhabitants.
Before… Earthly Greed and the Dragons
The war between the Gods raged in the heavens and its spillage irrevocabl y changed the Earth . Blood from the Gods dripped to the earth and created creatures of imaginable powers and strength. The Gods blood mixed with the Earth’s soil, b
