Chapter 4
It all Started over 2000 years ago. The dimensions were forming together with streangth and peace. A mighty king named Claww was the ruler of such great times, and the people, little there was, rejoiced at the sight of him. These people were of the Humanoid race, far from knowing anything about interdimensional travel, or of 'ponies.'
The humanoids were capable of many things, and one of those things was worshipping a god.
Little did King Claww know that behind his back the others were worshipping gods without his permission, and at that, they were believing in a higher being.
One day, a minion of his was caught with a representational idol, of the god they called Aplhato. They said it meant end, and Omega meant end. This enraged the kind to his limits, now knowing that they not only had one god, but they had two gods, with false idols and names. The King grew enraged, and he summoned up his streangths to create his own gods out of sheer creativity and raw power. He gave each of them an ability, or as he liked to call it, a 'curse'.
The false gods were given a temple, or a Nexus.
A meeting place for when to discuss topics of war or other famines. The King decided to name them; Alpha, Omega, Orion, Morph, and Delta. Because of the amount of power put into making the gods, the young king died.
The Gods lived on, but with a different view for the universe in mind, and a terrible one at that. They harvested the power from the Humanoids, and this caused the Nexus to become a point of Purgatory, or the realm of Death for when neither good nor evile souls go when they reach the end of their days.
Nexus was a deciding point for horrid punishment, or a Destiny to carry on wills for fallen souls that failed them in past lifes.
The decisions were made by none other than the gods, which were cruel creatures, horrid and nasty demons masked with gold and gleaming armor to hide the terror that reflects on the murder they shine upon the community.
Eventually they would let people out of their 'Purgatory' and set them roaming free, but this was also considered a punishment, because you would forever roam, untill your soul gave way to nothingness.
The best thing is to be given rebirth, which is an opportunity to fulfill anothers destiny. The Nexus was eventually lost after 1000 tyrannical years of controll by the gods, and how it was lost, no one knows.
There was claimed to be no survivors. But some say the ones with the personal destinies still live on, trying to await their moment to fulfill the quest to leave Purgatory.
There was a strange few tales of Souls in Nexus that were famous stories, like the story of Rathsrin, a half Vampire and Half man. His past life was unknown, but he was charged to murder a boy, a young boy. And he would be freed.
He refused to do so, because he had devoted his life to kindness and tranquility. So the gods slayed him and raped the boy, causing more trouble than needed, burning his village. If the Vampire had listened he would have saved more lives than lost.
But there was never a pony in the Nexus, it was never written in the ancient archives that there was a pony...
For some reason Nexus seems as thought it still lurks, and still chooses our destiny, slowly crawling out every once in a while to pick one unlucky soul to controll.
