About Arias the seer and his work.

Well, if you wanna know about me there's a lot of things to say but I'll keep it short.

My pen name's Arias. I'm currently writing my Online Novel, UnderGodz: Fate, Choice, Destiny.

Technically, U.G. was supposed to be a Phil. based manga but due to certain restraints, i opted to make a novel instead. Not to worry though, i will retain some manga elements such as pictures and music to keep the feel.

UnderGodz is mainly a story about imperfection VS perfection. It tackles issues like the necessity of evil, freedom of will and causality. Why good cannot exist without evil and why evil cannot exist without good (try to guess, i can explain that easily ^o^)for example, too much good would be too inhibiting and restrictive while too much evil would be destructive and in some way unproductive.

Also, remember that without good, there would be no positive feelings which would soothe people and enrich their spirits. While without evil, there would be no conflict and pain thus, leaving no space for improvement and self-betterment for a being.

Of course novels like this wouldn't be complete without beings to populate it. So anyhow, the U.G. universe is populated by being from fantasy with a little bit of Arias magic (That's me! yey!). Expect to see Angels battling Demons and a couple of heroes or two for this one.

U.G will encompass a alota action, adventure, comedy, romance, drama, tragedy, suspense and twists. Also, U.G. will feature both light tones(self enlightenment, dignified sacrifices, honorable exploits, heroic themes) and dark tones(gore, blood, sex, decadent themes.)

All i could say that would give you a hint to what my novel offers is... you cant have light without darkness, and you cant have darkness without light.

UnderGodz has 5 main characters each with different personalities and in a way, resembles certain main characters that you've probably seen in some animes.

Well,that just for now. I don't wanna give everything up... so you guys will have to read the novel to find out more!

Till the next time we meet!

Dasvidanya!

The World of Gaia: Heaven ( Let me explain somethings ta yah) ^o^

Good day guys! i'd like to explain a little about the world of Gaia (The world in which the UnderGodz storyline takes place in ) before we tackle more about the story.

Here it goes. (O_O)

Gaia is composed of 3 general areas:

Heaven,

Gaia (UnderGodz's Earth),

and of course, Hell. (^O^)

I'm probably changing the name of Gaia to something different but for now im sticking with that.

Each part is separated into different smaller areas. For example, Heaven is separated into 3 areas: Heaven Ka'anas (left heaven,), Heaven Medias (midden heaven) and Heaven Ka'alas (right heaven). Heaven is mainly dominated by 3 races, The Gods who have accepted residence in it, Angels which protect it and holy mortals which have been favored by the Gods. Heaven is now under the "protection" and "safe guard" of Neo-Heaven.

For now, lets concentrate on Heaven.

In the past, a war ravaged heaven ever since God left. This war was waged by the separatist Neo-Heaven (Believed that God has abandoned Gaia and that it was the people of heaven's divine right to take over his job) and High-Heaven ( Which believed in the opposite. They believed that they should wait for his return )

Although both factions mean well, their actions have caused so much disdain and pain for the races of heaven. Aside from that, their war was being felt by the races of Gaia and in a way spilled over to influence the out come of many happenings in the mortal realms. (example is that some good guys losing strength and others gaining them depending on their beliefs)

Ultimately, Neo-Heaven wins the war by defeating High-Heaven in the great battle of Las Puertas Eternicas (The battle for the Gate of Eternity). Neo-Heaven discovers that God has indeed left and takes over.

Currently, Neo-Heaven controls the Angelion (Angels which act as a praetorian guard of sorts) , The Light Knights ( Holy mortals which have joined heaven's armies to fight for its cause. Namely anything that anyone good would fight for. Led by the house of lord Naskus Leos Lune Lanah) and is led by the council of 4. ( God's former lieutenants which led the uprising against his loyal followers. Each embodying a virtuous trait yet each is shadowed by a dark vice).

Although Neo-Heaven strives to bring goodness and peace to all, their actions are questionable. They will not think twice on sacrificing a few to save many. This is evident by the atrocity they committed on Gaia. ( Las Noctas Triste, The night of sadness where they obliterated an entire city to root out an undead infestation brought upon it by a Necro'helich. They said the man who carried out the task was one of Neo-Heaven's greatest champions; a mage of unmeasurable power called Karreyne the White ). It is evident that Neo-Heaven uses methods that are'nt so noble and true.

Some even speculate that Neo-Heaven harbors dark beings that are able to lay waste to entire armies. A holy palatine gifted with great charisma and ability went corrupt and mad with power once. This man conquered most of heaven and tasted victory in his sights. But due to the victories he had gained, he had grown paranoid and delusional.

Slipping deeper into madness, he started killing his own trusted and loyal subordinates and surrounded himself with the best Angelion's he could muster. Finally, the day came where he would come to besiege The Gates of Eternity itself. Opposition now gone, he decides to disband the Angelion guard and have them "rewarded" by way of sword and steel. With the deed done, he stands up before their pile of bodies thinking to give a rousing speech to his grand army. Just as about he was to speak about the death of the council and a new age of "peace". Bright light behind his back flickers and blood starts spewing out of his neck and veins.

He himself dying yet still amazed, yelled to his army: "I, who instilled creeping fear into great men... slaughtered countless beings who possessed great power... and even threatened this impregnable gates ... was in the end... felled by a young... boy". With that, his whole army was in flight only to be slaughtered in the end. What ever decimated this army will forever remain a mystery... but what was found in the site of their massacre gave its survivors a clue of what could have done a deed.

A black feather... signifying that the Black Wing had come and dealt its blow.

UnderGodz Intermission!

As a short break from my online novel, One of my characters, Rei wishes to tell a joke. (take note, there are facial expressions to connote their emotions)

Rei: Hey guys! well, I'm gonna find myself a unsuspecting victim and tell him a joke! (sees Zin smoking a cigarette). Aha! I have found my prey... and he has hair! Here goes... (runs off to Zin snickering like a child) :D

Rei: Hey Zin! You in a mood for a joke? :3

Zin: Well... I was kinda getting bored so... hit me with your best shot. :)

Rei: Alright, this is gonna be good. Here it goes.... What kinda fish is afraid of water? :0

Zin: hmmm..... Fairly easy... :D

Rei: Alright... what is it then? :)

Zin: None... fish are'nt afraid of water. :D

Rei: Wrong! XD

Zin: What? What do you mean its wrong? /:0

Rei: I know a fish that IS afraid of water.... "snickers" XD

Zin: "Raises eyebrows" Fine. What is it then? ',:(

Rei: "Laughs out loud" CAT - Fish! XD

After that day, Rei spent a week at Mohradia's hospital, being treated for severe concussions in the head, a broken funny bone and a large scar in the stomach.... an obvious "sign" of appreciation from Zin for making him smile.

UnderGodz Episode 1 B : Reminisions of Brotherhood

"Deuze... have you forgotten who you are?"

Questioned Lowengrin.

"....."

The reaper, unfazed by the carnage he had wrought, blankly stares at the solemn priest... as if he had done something that heeded no attest.

"Once in the past..." mused Lowengrin, "A man told me that every event had purpose... no matter how painful... no matter how tragic and no matter how desperate it could be."

"Right now... I wonder... if that man was right."

"There is so much death here...so much death that hell would pay a bounty so hefty, it would sink and drown Charos' himself. I wonder if even Charos' himself could survive the river Oblivia. What do you think Deuze? Would he survive?"

Lowengrin calmly jests yet it was evident that behind his silent smile, there was so much pain in his soul.

Staring at the reaper, he could only find beauty that no mortal being could possess. His body was slender yet strong, His movements eerily graceful. His hair white as snow, flowed through his back and shoulders. His skin, was as pure as ivory. Black ebony wings spread behind the angel releasing feathers the resembled black platinum... sparkling in the air. His wings showed dark splendor, putting to shame all other angels and assassins. The presence he carries was of dread, this being was too beautiful for an assassin and too terrible as a being.

The angel's body was caped in black and doused in blood but even though amidst the hell that the boy has been through; soot, blood and even dirt could not mask the skill he used to decimate True heaven's finest. Judging from the battlefield, speed and grace coupled with raw, unbridled power led to the demise of True-Heaven's fallen Empyrial Knights.

Lowengrin knew that the garb of the reaper was of Neo-Heaven design and so was the blade that the reaper possessed. The sword that the angel wields was one of Neo-Heaven's fabled plague swords. Swords that were forged to easily cut through any being that had holy blood in them and inflict terrible rot in the wounds that the blade would deal. Such were the ways of Neo-Heaven: merciless... cruel... and effective.

That moment, Lowengrin locked his stare into the reaper's eyes. What dwindling light remained from the sky revealed to Lowengrin the empty yet beautiful sanguine eyes that the young man possessed. Those eyes cut through the darkness and gleamed ruby red. It was as if a demon in came from the hells to drag him into the depths... yet the form was of an innocent child.

At long last, the reaper breaks his stand and readies for brutal assault. With blade dripping venom and unsheathed the Angel forms himself for a devastating charge against the Holy Priest. Black wings spreading in air, feathers falling and floating through the angel's rush. Black splendor shone within the reaper he lunges at the Lowengrin from long range. His blade shining emerald and heralding doom...

"Angel..." mused Lowengrin... as if oblivious to the angel's dire assault.

Amidst the terror in front of him, Lowengrin is felled by thoughts. His feeling melancholic, Lowengrin recalls thoughts of the past... thoughts of a yesterday which changed his life. As he rests his eyes in order to materialize in his mind the past, the dark angels comes at him with sword drawn and face emotionless. Where the angel rushed, destruction followed stride. The ground crackled and imploded due to blistering speed and the air cut through like butter. The angel was coming close, so close that it would seem that the priest made a fatal mistake of not focusing at his foe... death was coming for him... and there was no time left to dodge and no shield to use for parrying.

Even at this point of time and desperation, Lowengrin still kindles his thoughts. Remembering his voice and the voice of another...

"I don't understand."

Closer and closer did the reaper come at him.

Quien Les Untodes?
How could anyone?

With sword ready...

"Such is the way of the fate... my dear friend."

Vale Les Dias?
Was it all worth it?...

And eyes set to kill

"But why do you have to do such a thing?"

Ciskasis Supricus Dei Vale Les Dias?
Did you find something worth sacrificing yourself for?

Ready to take a life as if it here nothing

"Its for the betterment of this world... for them and us. Nothing matters more than that Lowengrin..."

Quien Cambiiados Monadat?
What made you change so much?

Yet the one he was to kill believed in something

"But how could you care for them? Beings so sinful... so flawed. Why must someone like you give up your own existence for insects like them? insects that-"

Quien Les Amoras?
What made you care?

Something so powerful that nothing could stand against it
"Turn around my friend."

"Quies Tu Deciminas Todas?"
Why did you have to destroy it all?

Through his reminisce.

"Are we... so different from them my friend?" The man says with deepness in his voice.

Vala Dei Ickt Vale Eideilikta?
Just for the sake of an ideal?

As Lowengrin opens his eyes, he sees the dark figure of the Black Wing; Sword drawn above and death coming down on him.

such memories did not matter to the Black Wing... or did it?

To be continued...

UnderGodz Episode 1 A : Advent

Such a terrible sight...

Yet... it inspired awe in those who saw it.
It was that way for those who had survived the young angel's onslaught.

The sky was bleeding rain and was dark as ebony.
Bodies of fallen holy knights littered the battlefield...
All carrying the same faces echoing the pains of having lost a battle that would have saved those they loved.

And yet... the battle seemed far away from its end.

In the middle of the carnage, two men stood.
One with Black Wings, bearing a pale emotionless expression... and deep in his heart, oblivion.

And the other man caped in cloak, had peace in his eyes yet bore regret for those who had died in battle.

Seeing the destruction brought by the young reaper saddens him yet he knew that this was to serve a purpose: fate had her ways on healing wounds, and this was one of them.

"Forgive me Heirone... i could not save you in time..."

"cough... cough... my lord... cough... it was an honor... cough... to fight for you... to fight for... true... heaven...."

"it was an honor to have fought with you dear friend"

And with that, tears started rolling down the maimed heaven knight cheeks, a warrior once full of regality and strength, now reduced to a sorrowful sight.

"Please.... Lord... cough... tell my son that his father... fought for... cough...a better tomorrow... tell him that... i will always watch over him"

There, giving the fallen warrior last respects, knelt silent did the caped man do and held the fallen in his arms.

"I will Heirone... i will tell him how bravely his father stood and saved countless people this day... Your descendants will never forget what you have done for them."

"Thank... you... lord... lowengrin..."

Amidst the pain in his eyes, the knight smiles and in that flicker of regained hope... dies in the arms of the man that sent him to die.

The Knight dies glancing off into the sky... and with that, lowengrin lays him down. Such eyes revealed so much hope in front of so much death. Yet, those eyes need to rest... this man needs to rest. with that, lowengrin passes his palms and slumbers the man's sights.

Lowengrin stands up and faces his opponent... seeing the emptiness in the reaper's eyes makes lowengrin remember the past... a past once full of hope as he says

"Deuze... have you forgotten... have you forgotten who you are? "

Lelouch Lamperough; Truly the king of kings/

List of my Heroes no 1: Lelouch Lamperouge of Code Geass!

Cool ending moment: He dies for the sake of the world, funneling all of its hatred towards him and in a flicker of courage... saves it.

Why him?: I admire the guy for his tactical prowess.; he was able to fool so many people and when it seemed he was to conquer the world, he reveals his plot to instead save it by dying for it.

Kudos for you Lelouch!!! ALL HAIL LELOUCH!!!
