Cindy and Argon

 

Chrisica is a magical land of Awesomeness. There are wizards and witches, dragons and unicorns, fairies and giants, and all sorts of amazing creatures. The land stretches one hundred miles wide and across and is divided into nine regions: there are the deserts of Egyis, the cold and icy north of Canadonia, the geometric land of shapes of Geomics, the crystal city of Avalonia is in the vast farmlands of Kanzus, the land where it is always raining in Unidopita, the musical land where everyone sings and dances what they feel of Broadopolisway, the Raiiwaii forest stretches from Kanzus to Milwatiy, there is the hotlands of fire and the biggest volcano in Chrisica, Vulouvious , is in Hadicote, and the ninth region is cut off from the rest by a magical barrier so that the people living inside can be safe from any evil creatures who wish to harm them, their land is called Disca. There are manyrives and lakes and streams but there are also five great lakes which are the biggest and have magical waters, they are: Kantis, Jhotin, Hohei, Shinoa, and Utiva and each is guarded by beasts that protect the lakes from harm.

In the land of Chrisica, in the region of Kanzus there lived an amazingly beautiful girl named Cindy with her parents. They were all happy together up until the time that Cindy's mother died. She was killed by a terrible sickness that was brought about by an evil wizard who was eventually killed for his crimes. Cindy was very sad and so was her father but he knew that his daughter needed a mother and so he soon after married a woman who herself had lost her husband to the same wizard's spell. Cindy's new step mother had two daughters of her own and they were all very pretty but also really bitchy and mean. The step sisters pulled horrible and mean pranks on Cindy. They used spells to turn her soup into spittle, they fed her unicorn to a wombat beast, and they beat her daily. They also sold all of Cindy's nice clothes and forced her to wear rags and made her do all the household chores. Worse still, Cindy's father was a pushover and did nothing to stop them and the stepmother not only allowed it but encouraged the meanness and more often then not she would join in on the beatings.

One night, while Cindy's father, step mother and, step sisters all slept quietly in their beds, Cindy ran out of the house as fast as she could and ran all night until morning when she found herself lost in Raiiwaii, the deepest and darkest forest in all of Chrisica. She hadn't paid much attention to where she was running and didn't know how to get out of the forest since the forest is always changing so she just picked a direction and started walking. She eventually heard noises that sounded as if something or someone was in pain and, being kind of heart, she followed the sound to see who or what was making it and to her surprise, Cindy found, chained to an enchanted tree with a magical chain, a dragon, with scales as red as blood and he was the size of a house and he was fierce and his wings were large and powerful.

Cindy asked the dragon: “Why are you chained to this tree, Dragon? Who did this to you?”

The Dragon replied: “I was locked here as punishment, I once belonged to an evil wizard who killed many people and the knights, since I was too powerful for them to destroy, had witches and wizards lock me away in this forest. But I do not deserve to be locked up for I was only the pet of my master and did as I was told.”

Cindy thought for a moment and then said to the Dragon: “If I were to find a way free you, Dragon, maybe then you could be my pet and my friend and people will see that you do not deserve to be looked away forever.”

This made the dragon fell slightly happier but he was then sad again and told Cindy: “As much as I would like that, these chains can only be broken by the tears of one who is without any sin.”

Cindy smiled and said: “I have been good and kind my whole life, just as I had promised my mother I would be, so perhaps if I cry on your chains then they will break and you will be free.” So Cindy went up to the chains and held them in her hands and began to cry, for she had a lot to cry about and as it would happen, the chains broke and the dragon was freed. The creature was so grateful that he picked up Cindy and put her on his back and flew her out of the forest and into the sky. The two became good friends and the dragon, whose name was Argon, took Cindy to the home of his old master since it was abandoned now and she had nowhere else to live.

Not long after, word was spreading that the King and Queen of the crystal city of Avalonia would be hosting a magnificent party and that all the residents of Kanzus were invited to go. All the young ladies of the land were especially excited because at this party, the handsome young prince would pick for himself a bride and marry her. Cindy wished more than anything to go to the party buy she had nothing appropriate to wear since all the clothes in the Wizard's house were for men.

Argon said to Cindy, who had begun to cry: “Don't waste your tears on this little problem, Mistress. For you are forgetting that this house was the home of a wizard. If you look through the library, I am certain that you will find at least one spell book that can fit your needs.” Cindy looked through the late wizard's library and surly enough she found one. She used a spell to turn her raggedy clothes into a beautiful ballgown with silver stilettos and jewelery and now she was ready to go to the King and Queen's party and Argon flew her there.

When Cindy arrived at the party, everyone was awed by her beauty but none more so than the Prince. He danced with her and only her and for all the night they danced until Cindy spotted her step relatives and, in fear that they would recognize her, she fled the party as fast as she could. The prince pursued her but was not fast enough to catch her. But in her haste, Cindy left behind one of her silver stilettos on the castle's steps. The Prince ordered that this stiletto be placed on the foot of every young woman in the land and that he would marry the girl whose foot fit the stiletto perfectly. Every woman tried on the stiletto but none fit it perfectly, they were all either too small or too big for the shoe.

When the Prince's search party arrived at the place where Cindy was staying, they tried the shoe on Cindy and it was a perfect match. They Prince's men took Cindy and Argon to the castle and he married her at once and the dragon was given special accommodations on the castle grounds. When the Step sisters realized that their new princess was actually Cindy, they hurried over to the palace to try to get into her good favor. Cindy remembered all the horrible things that they had done to her but was too kind of heart to have them beheaded so instead she married the stepsisters off to royal blood and gave them permanent employment at the palace. Cindy married the older step sister to the Prince's best hunting dog and the younger one to the King's fastest falcon, and she employed the younger step sister as the castle servant and the older stepsister as cleaner of the castle stables. The step mother was so upset over the decree Cindy made concerning her daughters that she jumped at Cindy with a knife while the princess was walking threw the castle garden with Argon. To save his friend's life, the dragon burned the step mother alive with his fire breathe and the Prince was so grateful that his wife's life was saved that he made Argon leader of Avalonia's army. And as for Cindy's father, he began taking classes from a tutor to help him become more assertive.

The Creation of the Christaverse and the First People of Earth

In the beginning, back before there was anything, there was nothing. The universe did not exist and there was no life anywhere. The whole of everything was just a vast light void of cosmic energy, that was called Lightinheim. Below that void was another void. This was a dark void of cosmic energy and it was called Darkenheim. These two voids of powerful cosmic energy began to move closer to each other and soon, the two voids clashed and there was a great explosion of cosmic energy as the two eternal voids collided. From this explosion, Swinloggin was born. Swinloggin was the first life in the universe and The Father of All That Is to everything that existed after him. His height exceeded anything conceivable and his skin was rough and dirty. His eyes gleamed red.

The Great Giant was lonely and decided to create three children to keep him company. Swinloggin used his mighty strength to create a son from Darkinheim. His skin was red, his hair was black and his teeth were yellow and he had a tail and horns made of steel. Swinloggin called him Rousifix and he was the embodiment of evil itself. Then Swinloggin used his mighty strength to create a daughter from Lightinheim. Her skin was light and pale and she had bright blonde hair and two gigantic white wings. Swinloggin called her Vasillisa and she was the embodiment of goodness itself. Finally, Swinloggin used his mighty strength to create another son from what remained of Lightinheim and Darkenheim. This son was neither good nor evil but the essence of both flowed through his blood. He had one black wing and his hair was as blonde as his sister's. Swinloggin called him Aeoplis. Vasillisa and Aeoplis were as beautiful as Swinloggin was ugly and Rousifix was almost as ugly as his father.

Swinloggin was proud of his creations and was very tired from all his work so he went down for a long rest. The evil Rousifix was not content in the empty void with his father and sister and brother. He was bored. While Swinloggin slept, The Bloody One took one of his steel horns and stabbed his father in the heart, killing the Great Giant. The Evil One skipped away, singing merrily about what he had done. Aeoplis and Vasillisa saw what their brother had done and they decided to put their father's body to use to honor Swinloggin's memory. Aeoplis plucked the darkest feather from his lone wing and it took the shape of the first sword and Aeoplis called it Exaeoplier. The One-Winged Man chopped up Swinloggin's body while his sister, The Angelic Maiden, used the bits to create the world. She tossed her father's body and spun it and it became the earth and ground. She gave it one more shake and the wrinkles formed mountains. Then she placed Swinloggin's arms and legs in the four corners of the world and named the right arm North Point, the left arm South Point, the right leg Way East, and the left leg Way West.

With the help of Aeoplis, Vasillisa was able to place the heavy head of Swinloggin upon the four pillars she had just set down and the skull of their father became the sky. They took his red eyes and took the light out of the left one and it became a frozen gray sphere. They put that light into the right eye and with twice as much light in it, the red eye burned a flaming hot yellow. They placed the gray eye and the yellow eye in the space above the world they created together and called the gray eye Moon and the yellow eye Sun. They pushed the eyes to roll around a set course around the world and bring about night and day. Aeoplis and Vasillisa named their creation Earth and thus became the Father and Mother of Earth and they called the Earth and everything that existed around it the Christaverse.

Only after the memorial was finished being built did Vasillisa finally weep for her father's death. She cried and cried and her tears fell to Earth and became the oceans and rivers and lakes. Her magic tears fertilized the land causing grass and trees and flowers and vegetation to grow from the dirt. Aeoplis wanted his sister to stop crying before she flooded the world. He went to Earth and made creatures for the world they had fashioned. The Father of Earth sculpted all kinds of bears and lions, birds and fish, cats and horses, boars and snakes, dogs and bees, unicorns and gryphons, and every other sort of animals for his sad sister but she continued to cry. He then sculpted dwarfs and elves, and centaurs and all kinds and colors of dragons. The dwarfs dug holes and built their homes underground and called their home Underdome. Deep in Underdome, the dwarfs have a stash of their greatest treasures and it is one of the most protected places on the Earth. The elves divided into two factions due to their constant arguing. The Light Elves headed to North Point to make their home in the cold and snow where they could live and build with their magic. They called their home Krimykus. The Dark Elves headed to the forests and built their homes in the trees and called their land Huntington. The centaurs and dragons made their homes in no specific lands, they preferred the freedom of the wide open space and slept in caves or on fields when the gray moon rose. All this pleased Vasillisa very much and she stopped crying. Knowing that the trees were Vasillisa's favorite, Aeoplis picked the smallest ash tree out of the Earth and stretched it until it was larger than the Earth itself. He gave it to Vasillisa as a gift. She liked that tree very much and it made her happy. The Mother of Earth named the great ash tree Piggkarichull.

The Angelic Maiden found comfort in The One-Winged Man and she bore him three eggs. The first creature that hatched out of the first egg was called Amphishelldryo and it was a monster with the form of a wingless dragon inside the shell of a turtle and had the mane of a lion. Vasillisa placed the ash tree, Piggkarichull, upon Amphishelldryo's strong shell and rested the world upon Piggkarichull's branches. The Turtle Dragon forever swims around the void of space that is the Christaverse while carrying the world around with it. The second egg hatched and from it emerged a giant cobra, so long was its length that it could circle the world twice and bite its own tail. Vasillisa called the cobra Slifferion and placed it in Piggkarichull, the only place big enough for the World Cobra to live. From the third egg hatched the king of the gods that would soon become. He emerged fully grown with a short white beard and white hair like the snow at North Point. He was stronger than Aeoplis's strongest elephant and almost as handsome as his parents. Vasillisa was most proud of this child and set him on top of the skull sky to live and she called this god-to-be Zodenthur, Lord of the Heavens and god of the sun and sky.

Rousifix did not like this one bit. He was not pleased that his siblings left him out of building the world so he spat on their creation and where his spittle landed, nothing grew there and it was called desert. He was angry and jealous of Vasillisa's affections towards Aeoplis so The Red One took his steel horns and attacked his brother. Slifferion leaped from the tree to protect his father and bit the evil Rousifix, forever weakening The Red One with the poison from his fangs. The angry Rousifix used his steel horns to permanently blind the cobra then laughed about what he had done. Aeoplis, wielding Exaeoplier, attacked his evil brother. The battle was epic and much blood was split. The magic blood fell to the Earth. The blood that mixed with land became the gruesome Trolls of Blood who built their home in the land they called Brigsinheim. The blood that mixed with water became the seductive mermaids and mermen of the deep oceans and they called their underwater kingdom Atamantia.

In the end, even after being weakened by the cobra, Rousifix killed Aeoplis. The Red One took the skin of Aeoplis and wore it over his own and danced up to Vasillisa. The Angelic Maiden was not fooled by The Evil One's Trickery and she fled from him. Rousifix pursued her to Earth and caught her and had his way with her. Zodenthur saw all this from Avalympyis, the palace he built upon the skull of Swinloggin, and rushed down to Earth to save his mother. He grabbed Rousifix, who was too tired from all his mischief to resist, and fed the Bloody One to the Turtle Dragon, Amphishelldryo, and The Mother of Earth used her cosmic magics to imprison her evil brother inside the beast's belly until The End of Days, when the world ends. Zodenthur found his father's mighty sword, Exaeoplier, and slung it round his back.

Vasillisa gave birth to two more eggs, the father of these being her evil brother Rousifix. The creature to hatch from the first egg was a monster so fierce that any mortal creature who looked this creature in the eye died from shock. She called this monster Cerverius. It was a large bear-like beast with pitch black fur and two sizable wings. Cerverius had three heads, one was of a lion and the other a tiger and the third a bear. Zodenthur took this creature and gave it to the Dark Elves of the forests to watch over and tame if it could be tamed. From the second egg hatched a beautiful maiden, the first goddess of the gods and goddesses that would soon be. She was almost as beautiful as her mother, but her hair was brown and she was wingless. Vasillisa called the goddess Gemmica, the marriage and fertility goddess, and Zodenthur fell in love with her. He took the goddess up to Avalympyis and married her. Vasillisa was happy that her children were happy but sad that her lover and father were killed by her older brother. She died of a broken heart and her body turned into a mist that forever surrounds and protects the kingdom of Avalympyis in the Heaven upon Swinloggin's skull. From the mist, emerged a young maiden, beautiful and naked was made more than welcome into Heaven. She called herself Felicitia and was the most beautiful of all the goddesses, none would ever come close to her beauty which is why Felicitia became the goddess of love, beauty, and desire. She was the final daughter of The Mother of Earth.

The King of Gods wanted to give his bride a gift. He went down to Earth and built out of clay a man and a woman. Zodenthur fashioned these people after himself and named the man Aris and the woman Ema. The god filled their lungs with air and they began to breathe and they came to life. Zodenthur told the two that he created them for this world and that they mustn't harm it or else they would be cursed to die mortal deaths. Aris and Ema agreed to the god's terms and wondered off to explore the world they were given to. Zodenthur rushed back up to his Heaven kingdom, Avalympyis, to show his wife the gift he made for her. She looked down to Earth and saw Aris and Ema. The Queen of Gods was not at all happy with what she saw before her. She thought that they were appalling and an insult to her divinity. She lied to her husband and told her she loved the gift and Zodenthur told her how he made them and what he had told them. Gemmica began to plot of a way to be ride of these monstrosities without her husband knowing she had any part of it. She had inherited her mother's beauty and her father's fiendish nature.
