Chapter 6 - Needle Amongst A Haystack

"Hooray!" a young boy yelled as golden light flashed across his blue skin. The planet of Xonzichi celebrated, fireworks shot into the sky and people danced in the street. Xonzichi was one of many planets that hosted festivals and events in the name of the new changes to there reality. 

A smile spread across a tall man's dark green lips as he sat back on the hard crust of a moon. Kevin was satisfied with the new reality he created as he bore witness to the continued celebration of the universe. While he sat in contentment he felt that someone within the universe was still unhappy. In fact, he was struck with the idea that a whole world was still soaked in rage and sorrow.

Kevin stood up. His tall green form vanished in a moment and appeared in the sky just above Cathania. "Your lucky I can't gut you like the waste of flesh you are." A tall burly man murmured as he slammed a cage shut. He had trapped a delicate yellow man inside with translucent wings and sad eyes. A tall red skinned orcish man covered in bone made armor raised his spear up in triumph as he stood upon a pillar overlooking a camp full of similarly caged beings. 

Kevin's eyes widened and he quickly landed upon the entrance to a palace. He looked in horror as he saw men in chains and woman in cages. A roar suddenly hit Kevin's pointed ears and he was surrounded by Cathanians with spears pointed at his neck and bared sharp teeth. "What do you think you people are doing?" Kevin muttered and he heard a scream-like whistle drawing his attention toward the gates of the palace. A towering being stepped out, his body covered in precious metals, warpaint and bones. His orange eyes fell onto Kevin, "Leave this land at once false god or face the wrath of the great devourer!" the Cathanian's king roared.

Kevin did not seem to care for the man's threat or the 'great devourer' as his eyes focused on a child clinging to his mother within the steel bars of a cage. "Why have you imprisoned these people?" Kevin says lowly as he took a step forward not caring as he bumped past one of the king's guards. "Because of your choice! Because you decided to use your unholy power to bless filth with your so called gift. I now have to seal them until the serpent above us all decides they are worthy to be consumed." The king mutters slamming his mighty hand against a cage causing a man to shiver inside. "This serpent you speak of is the one you worship? That is why you've decided to stick to your murderous ways and lock innocents away to rot for eternity?" Kevin asks, his voice raising. "Yes. That is the will of the god of all gods. That is the decision of ultimate!" The king yells back stepping forward to look down directly into Kevin's golden eyes. 

Kevin's hand glistens with golden essence. As he is about to snap every creature free from this savage planet, he senses a sudden burst of energy from behind him. The king's eyes flash with surprise and Kevin turns to see a golden portal rip open in the sky. Several crustacean-like creatures crawl through and fly above on there powerful wings and they open there powerful jaws seemingly tasting the air. Kevin's eyes widen as a figure floats through the rift.
