The Wizard of Ivalla (rough draft)

In a distant universe,

There exists a planet with a race of gods and goddesses called the Scire. They are capable of great magical and miraculous powers, yet also possess an abundance of scientific and technological knowledge. They have created life forms, intelligent and unintelligent, from miracles and from science. However, they are actually a lot more human than one might think.

They are all subject to falling into over indulgence, ego, laziness and greed - even evil. Others have become great heroes and saviors to other races and their own race. Not all of their endeavors end as they’d like them to end though, only the Monad has the final say.

While aiding an underdeveloped race on another planet, they have made a decision to put a colony on a nearby planet in this race’s galaxy 7,428 years ago. This planet is immensely pure, and could serve them a great purpose in the future. A problem arose in which the citizens on this planet became corrupt due to arrogance against the underdeveloped race. The planet, being a living and conscious being, devoured their technologies and buildings and stripped them all of their scientific knowledge and miraculous powers. They had all become savage barbarians and lived as herds of hunter-gatherers.

The Scire back on their home planet had watched over their planet since, mostly in anger at their behavior that they still act with, but with some love. Wars broke out on the colony, which became known as Caligo. These wars lasted for about 5,729 years, until one young man threatened all who would oppose him in fear…

_____________________________________________________________

The average Caligo man or woman would only live for about 140 years, whereas the Scire would live for 30,000-40,000 years. 5,702 after the Scire originally colonized that planet, a peculiarly unusual boy was born. This was a boy with the ability to speak to the planet. He was born during a highly technological age in which the average person denied that the planet was alive and favored industries over love, which was growing about 209 years before his own time and excited the Scire, but was pushed to the side because of greed and deception.

At around age 21, this young man was guided by the planet to meet the Scire in a hidden location away from the masses. He had met 2 Scire gods and 1 goddess. After learning the truth of his people’s past, he had become frustrated with the Scire’s refusal to fully aid in the Caligo. Many of the Scire had begun to communicate with him telepathically. Some benevolent, others not so much.

Seeing his resentment, one of the leaders of a clan of evil Scire had approached him. The leader had made a deal with him that if he commits to his plans, he would use his powers and knowledge, with the help of his clan, to aid in the evolution of the Caligo. However, the young man would need to sign over his inner star. The young man agreed. The benevolent Scire were greatly worried, as he was meant to end the great wars with his inner star.

About 6 years had passed and the young man saw past this evil god’s plans. A part of him which had been sleeping all this time had reawakened. The young man had broke his contract and asked for help from the benevolent Scire, seeing that the evil god’s plans were showing no fruit. The benevolent Scire would ask him to be brave and accept whatever the evil god would do to him for breaking the contract, assuring him that he would be protected from death.

The evil god leader saw that he could not kill the young 27 year old for denying him and returning to the light, as he was protected by the planet. But he wanted extreme revenge, something that with his power he could do that the planet would not fully protect him from for forfeiting his inner star.

What the evil god did to this young man… was he cursed him with immortality. He would go on to live for eternity, forever seeing his family and friends live and then die, and being able to do nothing about it. The planet, and even the Monad, does not interfere with every action that individuals take. There is a story to be told, and it’s only in balance that there are extremes in the polarities.

The 27 year old begged the Monad and the planet for an average death at around 140, but they would not comply. There was also nothing that the benevolent Scire could do. All the young man could do was live out his life.

He had realized something powerful… no one could end his life. He had total power over all those who opposed him…

Once again, he had forfeited his inner star to depression and a sense of self righteousness. He had threatened that if any of these wars went on, he would kill anyone who engaged in battle. The Caligo lived in great fear and war soon ended. However, now there is a new problem - total fear of an immortal madman.

A few years passed and the immortal had begun to develop all sorts of magical powers as a side effect of his curse. He could teleport, shape-shift, levitate, use telekinesis, and heal all wounds. Feeling unusual and isolated, he created a clan of people who would serve him. They had built a citadel for him, in the land known as Ivalla (his homeland). He became known as the wizard of Ivalla. Time went on until a very old age at 1,723 years old, this man maintained the appearance of a 27 year old since he was cursed. Many things happened in the world, technology and science advanced, the inner star was discovered, clan members were born and would pass, as anyone would. The immortal waits for the day that a solution arises which could end his life and see his friends and family in the afterlife. The Caligo wish for a solution which would end this reign of fear and inferiority to one man.

It wasn’t until 3 years before the present time that something out of the ordinary happened. The immortal had met a 26 year old woman whom he had fallen in love with. She is a compassionate and gentle woman, and the immortal hasn’t felt love since before the curse. It shocked him greatly, so much that he begun to rethink his intentions. He had known that this young woman would live out her years and then die, but this did not stop him from wanting to make her happy. The inner star begun to return.

The two had fallen deeply in love, and the young woman, who had also been blessed with a strange gift, had told him that even after she dies, there is a way that they could still communicate. The immortal had already been feeling grateful, and this only made him happier. She has the ability to communicate with the dead, a power that not many had developed in this world and not even the immortal had that power or even know it was real.

This greatly angered the evil god who had cursed him. wanting to see him suffer, he would begin to tempt and trick him again. He had removed the curse of immortality and informed him about it, apologizing for it. At 1,724 years old, it was as if he were beginning to age again at 27 with the heaviness and flaws of a mortal body, still maintaining his magical powers. The man was so shocked he passed out. Waking up, feeling so many different things at once, he worried if he would die before his love, feeling that telepathic communication may not be as real as communicating between two living people.

The evil god disguised himself as a benevolent god, and told the man that when he dies, he’d have to suffer in a pain realm for all the fear he caused on others for those thousand years that he was immortal. He told him he wouldn’t be able to see his love or his family and friends.

He had lost the ability to communicate with the planet, so had no way of confirming this knowledge. He was in great fear. On top of that, there were rumors spreading that the other Caligo people had heard of his mortality and wanted revenge (he heard from his clan, which were still loyal to him).

The Caligo people had developed these type of magically charged crystal bayonets that shoot crystal shards imbued with spells, as some mystics influenced the military to develop (knowing that the man still had some magical powers that would overpower the average person still).

The man and his love had decided to go into hiding. They had come across some benevolent Scire gods who told them that he wouldn’t go to a pain realm in the afterlife because of the curse that he had to endure and the suffering that came with it. He went on to inform him that he never violated any true natural rights to the people and actually ended war for those years which was somewhat noble (somewhat because he used fear mongering to prevent it). This greatly confused him, he didn’t know who to trust anymore because he’s hearing different things.

His clan and the military had fought, and the man and his love had faced many trials and tribulations like fighting the assassins who set out to take his life and dealing with the elements of nature.

His love had been told by a deceased family member of his that if he were to communicate with the leaders of the Caligo over communication technology, he could teach them the intense magical powers that he developed over the years. He did not trust his own telepathic messages with the gods, so he could only trust his love’s messages. All these years that there was no fighting, there was a suppression of anger and aggression going on within differing groups of the Caligo. One group of Caligo offered his protection in return of teaching them these powers. He complied.

Eventually, one of the gods had reached out to him about the coming of a great war. He was unsure if it was a true message or not, but figured its common sense because of all the tension going on. He began to trust in it.

The evil god, in disguise, tricking him again, telling him that the leader of the group that is offering him protection would kill his love out of a deeply held spite for him that he was hiding and make up a story that the enemy did it. He trusted it and felt extreme anger at this group. The 2 ran away again into hiding.

Confused by his actions, the group protecting him went out on missions to seek him out. Making his way back to the citadel, he finds that most of his clan died. The few who were alive were glad to see him and told him that they had come across the Scire gods. They claimed that the gods were planning something huge for the world, something never seen before.

Wars went on for years involving magic and advanced magical weaponry. It seemed that there would be no end to all of this and the man began to blame himself. He had felt that he was hanging on to things that were only causing him suffering and felt tremendous guilt. He told his love that he was going to do something that he needed to do that she wasn’t going to like. He told her hew was going to surrender to all the Caligo people and asked that they leave his love alone, as she had no part to play in all this madness. She cried but knew she had no power over what he was going to do.

In the moments leading up to a confrontation with the Caligo citizens, he had received an undeniable message from the planet. His power that he was born with initially had returned because of his bravery. The planet had told him that he was being deceived by an evil god, and that the group was not going to kill his love. He was shocked and nervous because he had realized that he could’ve went on living under the protection from the group. It was then that something miraculous had happened…

The 2 gods and 1 goddess that he had initially mer had made themselves known to the masses in public, followed by a fleet of star ships. These were benevolent Scire gods. Deeply shocked, he realized that this is what his clan was talking about. They used their miraculous powers and advanced technology to dismantle all weapons. They had informed the masses that this man who was once immortal was actually meant to be the one to end all wars the right way, but was manipulated by a great evil. A great evil that influences the world that they live in even to this day. They also informed them that they were once Scire gods before their corruption in history.

The man and his love were reunited and the Caligo people began to band together after many years of tension, leading up to wars. They had learned that there were people within their own world who were evil gods of the Scire in disguise and that this great evil needs to be destroyed, and it is only the Caligo who can stop the from causing destruction amongst worlds like the underdeveloped race nearby that they just learned of. The Caligo, raised by a planet of immense purity, the man who suffered greatly who was known as the wizard of Ivalla and his love will all come together now and fight these evil gods that the benevolent gods have no power over…

And it is thus that a tree bears a fruit, a seed bearing fruit that goes through the struggles of growth but comes out as a younger, yet purer or more innocent fractal of what once was seen as a wiser being, but is truthfully more like a cult of opposing forces that aches to tell a story in its old age, and so it expands…

This is only a rough draft. I may go further into this story, depends how much I feel about it. There may be some flaws or holes in it, but I’m only just vibing with different scenarios and possibilities. I’ve written about 100 storylines over the years but never finished even 1. I personally just like coming up with them on the spot.
