A young girl and a young boy once stood at the trunk of a large tree, one that expanded to the sky and even past it. And in their curiosity, they explored was inside the tree, as the trunk had an entrance to the hollow center. That is when the two children saw the truth of the world. And would never return.
A young man named Aldr exited a dimensional rift and walked into a white void. The white void was once completely empty. But after thousands of visits, it had been filled with thousands of souvenirs from the realms below. Weapons, armor, relics, anything. Piled up in massive quantities. Aldr was somewhat of a hoarder. Greedy.
He sat at a small antique table with a chess board on top. Waiting.
'Taking too long...'
He sighed and looked down at the board. Before hearing the sound of wind. Looking up, he saw the spectral humanoid figure in front of him. A golden being with no features other than a mouth and a human like body.
"Wow...that was an interesting world..."
Aldr grimaced.
"You said that was my last."
"Well...I just have one last thing for you to do. You see, your little partner, needs some assistance on her world saving activities."
"Partner? I haven't seen that girl since my first world."
"Well. That's correct, but...the circumstances are interesting."
Aldr raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms over his battle torn garb.
"Interesting how?"
"Hm, well to start, you did quite a number on that world in particular. Honestly, you outdid yourself. But it was an earlier one..."
Aldr thought back to his earlier worlds. He was a bit more ruthless, and accumulated more power in them than he needed.
"…and, another Eikon has appeared there. Two, as a matter of fact."
Aldr's eyes suddenly widened. Eikon's, beings of unimaginable power across the realms. Two had appeared to occupy one world.
"Not only one...but two? That doesn't make sense..."
"I thought so too. But I have a feeling you left something there they wanted. So, unfortunately, your partner will need the help. To fight, and kill, two gods."
Aldr just looked at the figure. He didn't grow a smile, his grimace only grew deeper. What kind of man would want to fight two gods? Certainly not him...
