Book 1 : Water || Chapter 1: Into The Mist

Wave walked through the forest as he was trying to make his way into the city so that he could have a safe place to rest. Suddenly he heard a noise, he paid it no attention at first but then as he continued to walk he heard it again. This made the young god stop and search his surroundings, however he saw nothing except a pond. This pond however had bubbles coming from the bottom of it, so Wave decided to investigate it. Wave looked down into the pond and he saw a person, however he couldn't clearly see so he stuck his hand n and grabbed it.

After he grabbed the person he pulled them u and sat them on the dry ground. Upon inspection Wave saw that the person wasn't a human, but they were a monster. Wave had no problem with monsters seeing as he himself was an abomination, so he had no problem with monsters. He looked at the monster who looked like some sort of tree and said "Umm I get you are a tree but why are you trying to off yourself in water? Well in any case my name is Wave, I am the grey god. What might your name be monster tree person?"

Wave would then extended his hand o shake hands with the monster and wait for him to respond to his questions. Wave then began to slightly think to himself, as he had no clue why he was stopping to do this when nightfall would surely come in a few hours.

Wave was rather confused by the tree monster. In all honesty Wave had no clue how to feel or treat him. When it was obvious the tree man wouldn't shake Wave's hand he pulled it back towards him and put it in rest position. The tree man said that his name was Kaseki, o which Wave smiled and said "Nice to meet you Kaseki! So what type of monster are you?" The tree had then asked Wave was grey god a type a fine wine to which Wave responded by bulging his eyes outward as a sign of confusion.

Kaseki then asked why did Wave pull him from the water to which Wave said "I thought you were trying to kill yourself or something. Im sorry though." Wave then decided to sit down next to his new monster friend. His clothes got kinda dirty but he didn't really care he could always wash them once he got into town. "You aren't one of them are you?" is what Kaseki said and it threw Wave off a bit. Wave looked at Kaseki with a stern look and said "Am I one of who? I have no clue what you are talking about my friend. How about you tell me and I can help you?" Wave wished to help Kaseki, but he can only help him if he wanted to be helped.

Wave took notice as Kaseki began to play dead and then he looked over and saw a little golem. The golem looked like he couldnt even hurt a fly but for some reason he knew that there was a reason that Kaseki was scared. Wave walked over towards the golem and exerted his magical power, it was so powerful it made the very ground around them shake. The golem then ran away scared and it hit Wave at that moment. "The Horde!!!" Wave said with a shout as he pointed towards Kaseki. Wave walked back towards Kaseki and grinned at him. "He is gone now. So tell me why is a monster afraid of the Horde? You are one of them, so why fear your own people?"

Wave then sat back down and patted his Ironbark friend. Wave had been alive for some time however he never heard of Ironbark before, it seemed like it would be a very sturdy and strong material. Wave decided to ask more questions as he said "Hey Kaseki exactly how strong is ironbark? And umm if you are that scared you can travel with me, i'll make sure you live. Im going into town and nightfall will be here soon, and the horde will be out in full force if they really are looking for you. So what do you say?"

Wave then stood up and waited to see what Kaseki would do. He thought it was a god deal seeing how strong Wave was, since he could easily protect Kaseki from some lowly monsters.

Wave was slightly confused when Kaseki began to talk. He began to say how the monsters needed a home... how they needed a leader. Wave never thought of the monsters as the sort to be leaded by a single individual. However he did know they were somewhat loyal to their kind. Kaseki shouted out for the monsters to show themselves and so they did. It seemed as though hundreds upon thousands of monsters appeared all at once. Wave looked to Kaseki as he asked the young god for help finding his fellow monsters a home, a waterfall to be more exact.

Wave had no clue that this is what would happen today but he liked it. He looked to Kaseki and sighed with a smile and said "Sure lets do it! I always liked monsters anyways hahaha. But where shall we go? There is no way we will all get into a city, trying to get you in would be hard enough." Wave said the last bit with a confused face but then he had a idea. His idea was to head towards the mountains where none would dare disturb them. "Hey bring your friends Kaseki we are headed towards the mountains to meet my friends."

And so the journey would begin with one god and a horde of monsters.
