--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Palus was a great warrior, so he conquered many lands for the nara empire. Nara under his leadership grew more in land.

Eris was as powerful as 10,000 ma beasts which are powerful beasts that are as powerful as elephants but endued with magic they were divine beasts.

Eris wished he was born with good eyes so he could become king, he was a great ruler at heart but palus was more loved by people because he conquered more land.

Eris wanted to prove himself worthy by fighting with great warriors, but despite winning he never got the throne because of his disability.

But he never got jealous, he just wished palus ruled well. Pita seeing the care eris had decided to get him married to a beautiful princess, he then got news from spys abouth ganda having a beautiful princess ready to be married off.

He went there with eris and asked the king to give his daughter to eris, the king said "the naras are a prominent lineage i have no problem with it, but i wont make my daughter a blind person in my life i may give her to your other son palus"

When he heard this pita grew extremely angry and eris was dishearted that something he was born with will always effects his life in such a bad way. Due to the disrespect the naras were greatly angry.

Then nara's declared war on ganda conquered it and made it there vassal state, the princess was married to eris. Lonea was her name. She was a very kind hearted person so she accepted eris as her husband because of his good qualities as a king.

When palus got the age to marry, he went to the self choice ceremony of shyla the princess of inuk and shyla placed the garland on him and married him.

Pita then went to search a second wife for palus when he went to selos and made his marry palus, selos took millions of gold coins from him in exchange for his sister.

Palus was then afflicted by a disease, it slowly ate away at his life as if he exerted more pressure then required he would die, so he went on a self imposed exil and made eris the king.

And then they found out eris was infertile so they called upon isleus the sage who was born on a island

(he was the first child of fesheria.

He was born when a sage had forcefully mated with her, the sages have hightened senses due to there rigorous training. Which caused the lustful sage to give his seed to her.

She didnt want anyone to know this so she stayed on an island with her mother and father to give birth to him)

Isleus used made pots of mud and filled them with juice made from various plants to make an liquid which could sustain life.

he made eris artificially give his sperm to the liquid and made lonea cut a part of her flesh so that her blood can go in the liquid he used his chaos energy to strengthen the children and said she will have 4 children but because she wanted a daughter too he made a 5th pot.

And like that you were born my dear child.

Palus talked with sages about having children they said

"Sons can be haven in this ways They are: the son begotten by one's own self upon his wedded wife; the son begotten upon one's wife by artificial insemnation of the husband or another persons seed; the son begotten upon the wife after the husband's death; the maiden-born son; the son born of an unchaste wife; the adopted child; the son bought for a consideration; the son self-given; the brother's son; and the son begotten upon a slave or servant."

Palus then decided upon a solution he decided to meditate and summon gods, the gods who were summoned were

the king of gods, the god of thunder maga.

The king of justice, the god of light teron

The king of life, the god of wind pavn

Born of them were the three sons of palus, the gods with there energy created these children and hence they were divine children born of god.

They were raised were raised by sages the sons were ardni, nameus and sameus. Shyla and kadri raised them like there own children

But one day while rowing the boat palus exerted himself to much and died and now with no protection the, mother and sons are here but it looks like the second wife of palus killed herself.

3rd pov

When akilleus heard all this head was loaded with information, his admiration for the grand sire and his love father grew more.

He hugged his mother and said "i wish we be happy forever mother" she gently looked down at him and started patting his hair

Then the next day whole kingdom was alerted about the death of palus, when he ruled them they loved him so many cried like there favourite person died and attended his funeral.

The sons of eris spread free food throught the entire kingdom and attended the chants of the scholars when they were conducting the final rites of palus.

Akilleus pov

I watched as palus body was covered in various things that make good fragrance to cover the smell of dead he thought 'rot, everything rots, everything dies i wish i have such a ceremony too'

Then i made rice balls along with my brothers to feed fowl, these rice balls were eaten by the fowl and then they started rallying the body throughout the kingdom as various people threw flowers at it.

Then they burned his body they say without a child people go to hell in this world, so everyone was desperate to have a child.

As they burned his body i saw his bones and ashes they collected it and threw them in the river xyn.

As they all cried akilleus felt no emotion and just respected the dead.

Why was i not feeling anything? I watched deaths of many in the fiction of my previous world, in them all when another person dies they get sad, Why dont i get sad?.

Then i meet sakeus my uncle and the brother of my mother, he was apparently had great magic power, then i saw someone new he was wearing the clothings of a minister apparently a bastard son of agamon making him my fathers half brother.

He looked gently at them like they were his own children what an irritating face, then i moved towards my uncle he greeted me "hello crown prince of nara, i am your uncle the king of ganda"

Then i intoduced myself and we talked for a bit, he was praising me a lot many people were here today i guess he was liked by many.

Then i saw pita i admired him currently i didnt like him when i met him but he still did take good care of me, he loves his family.
