Wow, we could have a real writer lounge here ! Many beautiful stories, it seems like people here have a really good imagination. But, only one story can be the best, and that is:

So, without further due, the winner of the Forge of Creation #2 is :

Yzreel - 331.5 points




Terathiel - 329 points




Cuttleboss - 326 points



The Winner's Submission:



Zeus the Lord of Olympus



It was time immemorial, pitch darkness reigned mighty and the vilest of creatures inhabited the plane. There was neither night nor day; there was neither time nor space. There was only darkness, darkness as far as the eye can see, darkness as deep as senses can feel.

The Titans looked into the plane, thinking to meld a new element into the plane, and thus, in the midst of darkness a faint crackle was heard. The crackle grew to spark, and with that, the first roaring thunder befell the plane. Brilliant light of the thunder lasted for decades, wiping the night and all its creatures amidst a deafening rumble. Creatures of the plane-crippled by terrors of the night creatures-started to worship the bright light and called it as the First Day. The creatures worshipped the first thunder, calling it with reverence as Zeus, and treated it as the father of all ensuing thunders.

Eons passed, and the first thunder was then replaced by the invention of sun, but not for a moment did the creatures stop worshipping Zeus. Being worshipped for as long as it existed, the first thunder grew conscience, believing itself to be Zeus-or as called by creatures of the plane-the Lord of Olympus.

Craving for more reverence, Zeus strived to descend into mortal plane, to show himself as the God they were worshipping. Eons' worth of work finally paid off, and as he invented a spell later known as the Sempiternal Cantrap he became a quasi-immortal, descending into the plane with no memory of his past, only remembering few things: his craving of reverence, the arrogance it bore, and the name Zeus, the Lord of Olympus.



Thanks to everyone for joining, stay tuned for the next editions!

GG WP, this was a fun time. Great job to everyone that put in the time and effort to write these amazing backstories. Can't wait for the next FOC. Also if you could post the full scores Wulfy, that would be cool as well.

Aww, yes. Yzreel gets his deserved victory, and Terathiel follows closely.

Also, I never imagined that I would even get third place. Not bad.

Thanks guys! I really didn't expect to win this one, considering how there are so many great submissions this time.

Thanks for all the support and I hope we all can compete again in the next one :D

Next one coming this Monday, don't worry, I have everything down. Will announce more details tomorrow. Gingerbread gives me mastermind levels of brainstorming. It's still going to involve Random.org and random heroes, however this time you'll have to do something else.
