THE TWO GROWING LEGENDS
Large groups of people of all sorts arrived wounded in various ways in Norian homes . (The Village of Nor was by now The Kingdom of Nor) .
The refugees ranged from bandits to corrupt officials. The wounded criminals came telling all sorts of stories about a divine god in the form of a large bear-like man, who wielded a thin and tall katana and walked a large monstorous dog. This god judged every wrong doer with solid justice.
The criminals who had not arrived at Nor had been executed according to their sins. One of the refugees, a corrupt official who had lost an eye, both hands and a leg sobbed as he told,
“He looks into your soul, see’s every deep sin and pays you accordingly.”
Even the villagers of Garru suffered punishment, so that no one could laugh at the other saying,
“Look at him! At least I am better…” Everyone in Garru by the end of the year had at least a tiny scar because of the mysterious ‘god’.
There were two attempts at rebellion, but these ended badly for the ringleaders, who all suffered excecution.
A tense peace came to the land, but it softened as the people began to understand this ‘god’s’ wishes.
They threw away their terrible lives and lived together even more, and without soughting it, The Village of Garru became an Empire, with the small defenceless villages appointing it as their ruling Empire. They attempted to praise the 'god', but he firmly refused. They wanted him to be emperor but he refused as well. This 'god' said,
“I am only a man, my name is Jaffa. I desire nothing but peace. I will appoint you you're emperor, but shall watch over everything to control evil.”
So Garru became an Empire.
The village of Nor told a different story. Their armies multiplied, and all forms of violence and madness seeped into them. People were scared of Rytu to the point they despised him as a soldier of their army. They called him a devil and tried to enlist the help of Jaffa to get rid of him. (They didn’t make it out of the city, as other people scared of Rytu’s wrath for letting this happen, arrested them and executed them on the spot.)
Rytu did nothing but continue his slaying and taking of power, so that he found himself the King of Nor.
“I desire nothing but respect.” He said in his new voice.
Respect was given to him, but the people were still bitter.
However only a month in his reign, the competitive nature of his kingdom bore fruit. Scientists, philosphers and magicians emerged, and Nor became a super kingdom over two months. They researched technologies of all sorts that made Garru look completely primitive. They had strict military, and built an advanced, closed off society, so that Garru had no knowledge of the sudden wealth and intelligence Nor had gained.
Rytu came to his throne, wearing what looked extremely strange to the people. He had a high collared black shirt (silver buttons )and black jeans, with white canvas sneakers. He wore sunglasses as well and his hair was large fiery. He had demanded these be made, and they had been made.
The people did not understand, but Rytu smiled at them with his secret knowledge: His magicians had gained the power of seeing futures of all kinds.
