The Sorcerer Amun (3)

As children, Amun and Numa quickly discovered that they inherited great powers from their mother and father. Nyx wasn't much of a doting mother. The other gods would often look after and teach the children. The twins quickly learned how to take care of themselves. Even at a young age, the both of them were easily stronger than most adults. They would often challenge their mother, only to be blatantly defeated every time. Amun was a kind person. He genuinely cared about the welfare of others. He always tried to do his best to make the people around him happy. Numa however, was the polar opposite of his brother. Numa was cold-hearted like his mother, only he wanted to see more destruction. He enjoyed making others angry at him, or seeing them suffer in one way or another. Amun and Numa rarely got along with each other, but they had one thing in common; they hated Nyx. She had no sense of love for her children. She never checked up on them, nor did she ever attempt to remotely care for them. Naturally a hatred grew towards Nyx for Amun and Numa. The local citizens of Olympia had their own opinions of the twins. As expected, Amun was generally well loved, while Numa was usually avoided, or treated kindly out of fear. Hekate, Goddess of Witchcraft and Magic, hated both Nyx and her children. She made a plan to curse the twins for the rest of their lives, and hopefully it would result in the fall of their mother. Even though Amun and Numa were really strong, they were oblivious to magic spells, and couldn't defend against them. So they couldn't do anything when Hekate placed a tier ten magic spell on them that caused their bodies to fuse into one. The fusion of Amun and Numa caused them to share the same body. They were both always conscious at the same time, but only one of them could control their body at any one moment. They'd often switch control of their body every few days, and over the years they'd gotten used to their new life. Numa had an incredibly strong grudge against the world. He hated everybody and everyone. When he'd get control over his body, he always spent the majority of his time looking for Hekate. Amun didn't really care much about her, he believed that it was Nyx's influence that led to Hekate hating them as well.

One fateful day while Numa had control over his body, he finally found Hekate. She sneered at the boy, telling them that they were cursed with Nyx's blood, and as long as they lived, someone would eventually try to kill them. Numa quickly lost control over his rage, letting his energy loose, and proceeded to violently murder Hekate. Numa became the world's first ever God Killer. God killing was originally seen as impossible by the lower lifeforms, as only gods were supposed to be able kill other gods (Numa and Amun are half-god). Killing a god, depending on how powerful the god is, gives a specific boost to a user's spiritual essence (the source of a person's energy or power). Numa was now strong enough to the point that Amun no longer could regain control of his body at will. Numa, motivated by hatred, proceeded to storm Nyx's palace, killing every god he came across, only getting stronger as he neared his mother's chamber. Once reaching it, Nyx finally acknowledged her son's strength, but warned him not to raise his hand against her. Numa only got even more enraged, and charged her anyway. Nyx was still once again, out of his league. Nyx's main power was called Stasis. An ability that made time stop within a violet sphere-shaped space. If a person is caught inside of this space, they are unable to move until time runs out or until the user of Stasis makes contact with the opponent. Inside Stasis, all energy and magic attacks are negated completely. If Nyx is injured, or takes any sort of damage, she can also rewind time for herself inside Stasis for a few seconds. She originally planed to kill her son, but instead she grew interested in seeing what he would do with this power. So she simply banished Numa from entering Olympia forever. Numa's rage and hatred only grew deeper. He took his anger out on all of the other countries on the planet, leaving pure destruction behind him. Numa would then leave Earth, finding other planets to destroy. The entire galaxy would learn of Numa's presence. He became notorious as Numa, The Planet Destroyer. Nearly every planet with life on it within seven star systems of Earth was destroyed, along with everything on it. This manic streak of destruction would continue for some years until the Omnigod of the universe decided to interrupt this madness. X could care less about who was good and who was evil, but he knew that if he didn't do anything, Numa would continue to destroy all that he's created. Numa, not knowing who the Omnigod is, attempted to kill him as well, only to be knocked unconscious in five seconds exactly. X left, and Amun became the permanent controller of his body. Numa would never again wake up.

Back on Earth, Amun could not publicly say who he was or show his face, as everyone knew the face of Numa, and he would either be hated or hunted. From then on, Amun would wear a black mask and a cloak, so no one would find out who he was. He went to live in Zedan, inside a massive library, where he studied the current state of the world. For the next few centuries, here Amun would unlock the secrets of energy and magic, how to control it, shape it, and use it efficiently. In these times, no one but the gods knew how to properly use their energy, and only Hekate and a few others knew of how to use magic correctly. But Amun learned how to use it by himself and how it worked. He would write many books based on the Soul System, the network of nerves and nodes inside the body connected to the Soul Chamber, where a person's spiritual essence is created and distributed across the body. He wrote books on the elements, how to use them, their strengths and weaknesses, their different forms and the energies that they are attracted to. He learned how magic worked, based off of invisible particles called magicules, which became mana when a person absorbed them. He invented the Magic Circle, which made it much simpler to carry out complex spells. Over the next nearly 600 years, Amun wrote 99 books based on the systems of energy and magic. In his training in these systems, Amun created ocular powers that were the manifestation of his mother's strength combined with his father's angelic power. The Eye of Creation, Eye of Destruction, Eye of Realms, Morning Eye, Lunar Eye, and Mystic Eye. Each one of these ocular powers represented a fundamental cornerstone of energy and magic. With all of these powers now inside of Amun, he unlocked the Golden Eye of Immortality. His eyes would permanently become a deep golden color, representing eternal life. No matter what happened to him, Amun could not die. He even tried to implode himself, but his body would simply regenerate itself. Stuck inside this dilemma of eternal life, Amun decided to run his greatest experiment; what would happen if he gave all of his knowledge to the mortal races? Soon Amun once again let his name be known. It seemed that after so long, the story of Numa did not include Amun in it. The details of him and his brother being in the same body was forgotten. Therefor he could start fresh in the minds of the people. The first thing he wanted to do was break the gods' rule over the mortals. Teaching the humans, angels, and absydians his knowledge resulted in society as a whole getting flipped on its head. Amun purposefully kept his knowledge secret from the gods, so that it wouldn't reach Nyx. The countries could now have monarchs instead of being oppressed by the deities. There were now kings, queens, princes, and princesses. Amun became a worldwide phenomenon known as The Sorcerer Amun. Other than Nyx, Amun was the Earth's strongest being, as he had complete knowledge of energy and magic, and also the six ocular powers, resulting in immortality. The citizens of Zedan insisted he became Zedan's first king. And so, he was now The Sorcerer Amun, and as well the first king of Zedan.

On Earth, there were more humans than any other race, and it became apparent that the weak humans actually had potential to be stronger than some Angels. Other than Olympia, Urvenia, and Gon, every country's monarch was a human, or a mix of human and angel. The humans and angels got along well together, but the absydians became humanity's mortal enemies. Civil wars between the humans and absydians would ensue. But with the angels on the humans' side, the absydians would eventually lose. They would retreat to the countries Gon, Hampton, Urvenia, and Olympia along with some captured angelic prisoners. There were fewer humans in these countries due to them being so close to Nyx. Nyx proclaimed herself the Queen of Olympia for the time being, but refused to be called as such. She remained her title as Goddess. She promised protection from invaders of Gon, Hampton, Urvenia, and Olympia so long as they obeyed her. The absydians agreed. Nyx would then begin experimentation on the absydians. She made the angel prisoners impregnate the absydians and vice versa to create a new race; archangels. These archangels were stronger than regular angels, and were way too powerful for humans. A world war began between Nyx's countries and the rest of the world. Nyx planned to regain absolute control over the planet again with her new empowered army of archangel soldiers. They were winning easily, until Amun himself decided to join the battle. His power greatly overwhelmed everyone else's, and he singlehandedly destroyed Nyx's archangel army. Even after sending the gods to war, they were still no match for him. Nyx herself was then forced to fight her now adult son. Their battle was truly great. To those who witnessed it, they wouldn't be able to tell you anything because the battle destroyed miles and miles of land. Anyone who dared to watch the fight surely died. Nyx and Amun seemed to be evenly matched, but Nyx was stronger. Still, Nyx could never win because Amun couldn't be killed. If he was impaled, or if his head and limbs were cut off, he'd just regenerate himself. His immortality won him the war. Nyx had no choice but to retreat back to Olympia. She could never win that fight, as she was not an immortal Goddess. Nyx would have to think of another way to defeat Amun. From that point on, Amun was a hero of the planet Earth, and it's first positive legend.
