Chapter IV: Noctyra's Betrayal
Although life in Cherry Grove has been so greatly peaceful throughout the years, DEATH is inevitable as it is part of the Law of Nature for The Cycle of Life. But in The Grove, death was not to be feared as it was part of the natural order, making way for new life.
Over time, centuries had passed, and whispers had begun to spread through the lands. Noctyra, the goddess of death, had grown discontent. Very few people worshipped the goddess of Death, "Noctyra". As a God/Goddess, being worshipped is a source of energy, and Noctyra felt she was overshadowed by the other Gods, she felt her role was forever bound to the shadows, while the other gods reveled in creation enjoying the adoration of the people she was left with almost nobody to worship or adore her. This thought gradually grew, and her once neutral duty became tinged with darkness.
One fateful night, Noctyra made a move, under the crimson moon she sought to uproot the Cherry Tree, the tree was the very source of life and if she uprooted it the balance will be broken and death will reign supreme. The other gods tried to stop her but Noctyra's power had grown more than they anticipated unknown to them she had been absorbing the power of the Tree and now was too strong for them to defeat.
The portion of the power that she acquired from the tree enabled her to create beings and monsters of darkness, and also create a scythe more powerful than all the other gods' weapon. The scythe of Noctyra could capture the souls of the people who die in her hands or at the hands of her creation, this made her powers and army grow more powerful, these soul-less people became her followers, which made her more powerful as their numbers grew.
As time went on, many fell into the hands of Noctyra, and death became countless as she increased her powers over time. The world was in imbalance and left the Cherry grove in utter chaos and darkness. The Sacred Cherry Tree was in grave danger, but it still stood strong, acting as a beacon of hope. As rumors of what happened began to spread, Brave heroes, scholars, and adventurers began seeking the shade of the cherry tree, hoping to uncover the mystery behind it and hopefully fix it.
The other Gods were shaken and weakened by time, until the Gods call upon the name, "Feroxi"!!!
