Agrilnost looked upon the servitors of the other lords, and saw that they had made beings in their own image, and Agrilnost wished to have some thing to to tend the waters and air for him. He made a hundred servitors in his own image. Each had a dozen heads and crawled on it's belly, guarding the sky against an attack from the ground.

(Create Beasts: Primordial hydras)

Ongor was speaking with Thrael'kriss when he felt yet another Lord call out for his presence.

"I am Ongor, master of the earth and all that is within it."

Actually, Ongor wasn't sure if this was true anymore. The other voice he had heard also seemed to come from below.

"I made the tunneling worms in my own image, that they might eat the creatures of the deep to appease my hunger, and dig more tunnels beneath the ground to enlarge my home. It is because of my great worms that you were called into existence, for before that there were no beasts for you to watch over."

...

While Thrael'kriss conversed with the throbbing presence beneath his feet, Ongor's true body was actually some distance away. Being the lord of earth, he could make stone and soil move and speak even when he wasn't physically there...hmmm, perhaps he should give it a life of its own? Ah well, that could wait...and being a god, he could concentrate on many tasks simultaneously. Carrying out two conversations at once wouldn't be a problem.

"Who are you?" Asked Ongor as he slithered toward the source of the call, "why have you trespassed in the home of Ongor?"

"Fled from the light? You must be Darkness, then. I was expecting you to appear soon enough, though I didn't realize you would be chased down here."

"I am the Lord of earth and stone, ruler of the substance that lies between you and the sun you fear. Like you, I have no love for the light, and find darkness preferable."

He looked carefully at Myxiniron.

"Is that a purple worm whose body you wear?"

"A purple worm, is that what that was?"

"Yes, I looked suitable as it would offer some protection to my frail form" She claimed

"But I wonder, did you create those prple worms? How did you do that?" She asked, as she crawled closer to the mighty earth god.

Finally. You are ready now.

The time after the creation of Kraid had been exhausting. The construct had an impressive lack of control over his prodigious strength, and a surprising lack of scruples. It had taken quite some time to teach him self control, but finally, Kraid has grasped the concept of morality and had learned to moderate his strength. But, at last, he was ready for his mission.

Now, Kraid, it is time you learn about your first duty.

My father, the great Agrilnost, has given me the task to bring light to the world and to stand watch for the darkness.

Unfortunately, I shall never be able to meet with it, as the light I create makes it flee from me. I think I could learn much from it, and it could learn much from me. Thus, I command you to search the earth for it.

While it is a daunting task, I know something that will greatly reduce the difficulty of your quest. Here in this moon, we can see all of the earth. After careful observation, I have determined that the darkness is nowhere to be found on the surface of the world. Thus, you'll only have to search it's depths.

Now, before you go, let me give you this. Adahan drew his symbol on the construct's chest.

Should you be critically wounded, this sigil shall transport you back to me. This way, you shall not need to worry about any injuries you sustain.

Now, go with my blessing. My light shall guide your way.

Thanks, Master. I shall find the one who has piqued your interest, and will communicate your message to it.

And with that, the great construct spread his wings and departed to the earth.

Landing on the ocean floor, he started searching. Soon, he determined that the one he was looking for lived deep inside the earth. Using one of the natural vents that had been created in the ocean floor, he entered the depths of the earth...
