I have recently woken up from a very deep and long slumber. One that I did not take willingly. It seems that I've been asleep for millenia. My sight of all that has and hasn't has been blackened for generation after generation. I've missed all that has and hasn't developed.

 Back when I was awake humans haven't even been born yet. Back then all I knew was war. I was scorned and I scorned right back. It was always me and my kin versus the other gods and their kin. We always squabbled over how this should be and that shouldn't be. Whether spells should be very big or small. Whether the world should be hot or cold. We eventually managed to see eye to eye, but that was when that t h i n g  came. So we worked together to fight it off. In the conflict my kin was all slain or taken control of so I fell into my deep, long, painful slumber.

But then I awoken to a beautiful sight. A sight that made me realize that I wasn't even close to seeing all that has and hasn't. My view was so very small. I've been blind to so many possibilities and concepts. It was like before I was only allowed to think in a certain way. 

I quickly learned that she was the reason I had awoken. She had saved me from my oblivion. She revived my kin. Of course I had to reward her, so I showed myself in her dream. A beautiful beautiful dream.

Even more sights and experiences were before me, including a word to describe my previous prison, fate. I saw all that would've happened if it wasn't for that girl. The final death of my kin, the complete erasure of the concept of me, which I couldn't come back from. This girl had saved me from that. 

Thus I could not help but feel another of the new concepts I've learned from her mind, love. I wanted to cherish her andhold her close. To make her happy and support her. Such a lovely existence deserved to be protected. To protect her I gave her a part of my power. She was scared at first which made me sad, but she soon realized I meant no harm. We discussed many things about the place she came from. 

She told me many interesting things about the food, like a way to prepare a certain treat called chocolate and how to turn flour into a something called spaghetti. She also told me about two sauces that went well with it. One made from aged milk with garlic and another that used tomatoes. She also told me about another dish that also used those sauces called pizza. She also told me various methods to make stronger alcohol. They sounded so good that I made them on the spot with my powers that were slowly coming back. The two of us enjoyed a nice meal together. I've never had so much fun.

She also told me in more detail about how she knew my "fate". She described it as a dating simulator. A dating simulator was apparently a way for lonely people to simulate the feeling I was feeling currently. At least that's what I gathered from her explanation. That brought us onto the topic on other innovations. She described metal carriages that moved with the power of controlled explosions and weapons that used a similar concept to propel metal projectiles. I thought those would've been useful for my kin to have back when I fought a lot.

The one I love asked me if I knew anything about how she got here. I had my suspicions to be honest. That old bastard Baxtor probably had the power to do something like this. But why would they do something like that? Well the answer is obviously because this girl is a precious existence, but that meant I couldn't let them get their hands on her. SHE'S MINE DAMMIT. Although mortals don't count because I'm clearly superior. I decided to tell her I didn't know anything as I really only had suspicions.

Unfortunately we had to cut our tryst short as she had to wake up. I wanted to give her a parting kiss, but my current form didn't allow for that. I quickly scanned her memories to find what she considered cute or beautiful in the mortal frame. Next time we met I would be in a much more preferable form for her. I couldn't wait hehehe.

Some time had passed since then and I enjoyed watching my darling's adventures. She and her companion thoroughly duped an annoying stalker.  It was quite an amusing sight watching him writhe on the ground. However I felt something familiar about his presence. Like he had traces of a stench I've grown to hate, but why? Surely that thing was defeated by Mercor and his gang after I slumbered right? I don't see its looming presence in the sky after all.

Later my love ran into another mortal who joined them as a companion. My love showed another aspect of her greatness by enchanting that mortals bow. They tested the bow out and it had tremendous affect. As expected of my darling!

However on the test run my love and the mortal found an insidious cabin. The stench of that thing was all over it. I wanted to warn my darling but she couldn't sleep. The remnants of that thing  were clearly affecting her. She bravely faced her fear and delved into the trapdoor under the rug. Inside she found some of that thing's  minions. They slowly started to try and corrupt her. I  W O U L D  N O T  A L L O W  T H I S. 

And so, I intervened.
