This is my first ever Original Story since I've been writing fanfiction for so long. I'd appreciate it if you leave a review!
:Shirabe:
The Almighty Beasts...
Divine monsters of Heaven, Earth, and Hell.
Our purpose is to protect guide creatures of all three worlds; to answer their prayers and give them strength, determination, and courage when needed. They're life is ours to control, we can let them live a prosperous life, or we can make it hell. We can give them a perfect home for one's family teeming with food to eat and water to drink as a reward for their faith, or we can take away one's family for their constant wrongdoing and force them to die a miserable life.
We are the gods of all monsters, animals, and demons.
But, Akki, Lord of the Hell Kamigami Beasts, began to attack the Heaven Kamigami and the Earth Kamigami for power over the three worlds and its inhabitants, including, believe it or not, humans.. Sadly, he and his Kamigami have already taken over the Heaven Kamigami and a vast majority of my Kamigami, the Earth Kamigami. Now, the creatures of Heaven and Earth our turning their backs on their faith in us, and began to lead corrupt lives, filled with misery and death. Stealing and cheating.
I, Eisei, the last remaining Earth Beast, must bring back the peace in both Heaven and Earth, eradicate the Hell Kamigami, and defeat Akki before he puts both of the worlds' into chaos and darkness.
Eisei looked up from beneath the surface of the sea water. The sun shimmered through the water and into his eyes. This may seem like a good sign, but not all good signs are as true as one hopes it to be. Eisei swam up and out of the sea's depths and smoothly glided onto the soft green grass. He looked around the area and couldn't believe that it was still so tranquil! Where ever he slid, there was blood stained on trees, dying animals left out on their own to die, weak baby creatures that couldn't fend for themselves at all. But here, it was the Last Haven, as he called it. Animals and monsters could still have a decent life here and recover from disputes with their fellow creature. To make sure this place is safe from the Hell Kamigami, Eisei lifted his head up to the sky, eyes glowing white.
"Divine Earth…Protect!" He said; a greenish barrier covered the two acres of Last Haven to safeguard it from the Hell Kamigami. Those who seek safety are welcome, but if they are burdened with bad morals and sin, they will not come in. It's not fair, no, but the Almighty Beasts do not support the bad, it's one of the prime standards.
"Akki is here somewhere," Eisei said to himself. He coiled himself around a tree and closed his eyes. Eisei's mind focused on his surroundings, focusing…focusing until he heard voices. These voices weren't from the mortal creatures of Earth, but from the trees, the shrubs, the water, and the rocks.
"You're Majesty, Eisei," Called out a Cherry Blossom tree, her voice was lovely and smooth like silk. "It is I, the Cherry Blossom tree of what you have dubbed Last Haven."
"Do you have information for me?" He inquired.
She rustled her leaves as a "yes". "I have heard that Lord Akki has let demons run rampant and take over Earth. He has appointed four of the Hell Kamigami Beasts to be
"Generals" of different parts of our dear Earth."
"Go on…which ones?"
"Herufaia, Akuhei, Totan, and Gekirin. I have heard that Gekirin could be found in the Miyaki River…" The cherry blossom tree trailed off as she said it. Eisei sensed guilt and sorrow in her voice. The Miyaki River…home to his fellow Earth Kamigami Beast, Heisei.
'Heisei…' Eisei thought to himself, almost losing his concentration on the cherry blossom tree. A shiny tear leaked from his eye, dropping down to the ground as a diamond. Heisei, a sea snake deity, was not just one of the Almighty Beasts, but the love of his life. She was beautiful, with sparkling royal blue scales with a purple underside. Eyes also purple, slanted, and alluring. Eisei, if you all are wondering, was a giant king cobra with silvery-white scales, gorgeous ruby-red eyes and a large majestic hood. If you see him for yourself you who think of him as the noble deity that he is. But Heisei…oh, Heisei…she's gone…forever, along with the other Earth Kamigami. It reminded him why he was in the sea in the first place: to mourn for his kind, especially Heisei. Mortals can't kill gods, but here, gods can kill other gods if they're strong enough.
Eisei, almost losing his touch with the cherry blossom tree, quickly snapped back into concentration. He said to her, "What about Akki? Have you heard any leads on Akki?"
"Lord Akki... I'm sorry, you're majesty…I don't know anything. Forgive me."
"Do not feel guilty. If you don't know, you don't know. I will find leads myself."
"You are too kind, Lord Eisei. I—LOOK OUT!"
Eisei lost his concentration and opened his eyes to survey the land. An oni was dangerously close to Last Haven. It wielded a heavy steel morning star that knocked against the barrier.
"Eeeeiseiii…" droned the oni. It tried to smash open the barrier. The ookami family that was in Last Haven became alarmed at ran to hide in the bushes. Kappa that came out of the sea for some fresh air refuge to the bottom of the lake. "Eeeeiseiiii…"
Eisei uncoiled himself from the tree and slithered out to meet this oni. The oni stopped and looked up at Eisei, mouth agape and drooling. "Eeeeiseiiii…"
"Who sent you?" He asked the mysterious oni. The oni growled at him and swung his mighty morning star at Eisei. Eisei evaded him and swung his tail at the oni on his back. The oni was sent flying 50 feet across the field, crash landing into the grass. It got up and ran toward Eisei, swinging is morning star willy-nilly. Eisei just kept evading the attacks, swerving side to side. Finally, Eisei managed to bite the oni on its side, tearing away its black flesh; the oni roared in pain and hit Eisei on his hood, leaving a large gash. Eisei cut his eyes at his hood, and just by looking at it the gash cleared up. "Demons like you do not just show up and start fighting. State your business."
The oni lowered his morning star and slouched. "Grr…I have been sent by General Gerikin to kill you…grr…I wouldn't think this would be a problem anyway, your feelings for Lady Heisei weakened you! "
"Weakened me? My feelings? No…but Geriken is as foolish as ever, sending an oni to kill a god… heh."
"GRRR…YOU BASTARD GOD!" Snarled the oni, he raised his morning star and charged at Eisei. Eisei flew toward the oni and wrapped himself around it, constricting it. He squeezed the oni tighter, tighter and drove his fangs into the oni's fat neck. Eisei injected a ton of icy cold venom into it, still constricting the oni tighter, and tighter, and tighter in its bones finally broken into dust. Although the oni died from a lethal injection of venom plus broken bones, Eisei threw him up into the air and devoured him whole. Eisei coiled down to the ground to rest. The ookami and the kappa heads' poked out of their hiding places to check if it was all over. He saw them doing this with tired eyes.
"You all can come out now. It's over." Eisei commanded. He tucked his head into the hole of his coiled body. Eisei closed his eyes, at thought about the whole day.
"…Your feelings for Lady Heisei weakened you!"
'It was right…' Eisei thought, 'I've been letting my grief take hold of me. If I keep this up, I'll never kill Akki, Akki will kill me!' And image of Heisei appeared in his head. She was smiling, looking at him with those attractive purple eyes. 'Heisei…I miss you…'
Eisei drifted off to sleep, for tomorrow is the time to begin his journey officially.
