At the moment the Human God joined the dead world, life resurfaced, and a myriad of events occurred as a result.
The new world was dozens of times larger than the previous one. The same thing happened to the nearby bodies of life in space.
With the help of his comrades, the Human God brought about the rebirth of life on the planet.
As the Human God promised, he would bring that medieval epoch; that was his intention, but he made a mistake.
He did not bring back just one epoch, he brought back different epochs of human history. Taking as a basis the one suggested by the God of Time, it was mixed with some more advanced, sometimes backward, periods of history. Different cultures were mixed.
There were lands where everything was very different.
Several worlds coexisted in one world thanks to this event.
The land closest to the vision of the God of Time was called "Magic Continent", which also had characteristics that the God of Life and Death requested.
Thus arose the so-called Year 0 for the new world.
From the energy remnants of the Human God, three beings were born.
Eventually more would be born, but these were the first.
One with the appearance of a strong man, skin like ash, a tousled purple hair that extended almost to the ground. He wore a black robe. Across his body were multiple eyes the same color as his hair, as well as mouths. The eyes on his face had a symbol: a trident over a circumference in the pupil. Some of the eyes on the body had a golden color.
Beside her, with a white robe, she had a feminine appearance and a young woman's voice. Her eyes were light blue, in her pupil there was a golden triquet. Her long hair, and her skin, was like snow. She had four wings on her back, which seemed to be made of light.
The last one, also with a humanoid body. Its legs were made of earth. Its arms of water. Its torso of air. Its head of fire.
The sky blackened and there was projected the image of the God of Time, who came to name these individuals.
To the first, he called Hell's Gate. To the second, he called Heaven's Key. To the last, Natuur.
"Your name is the simplest".
Heaven amicably approached to tease Natuur, stinging him on the head.
"I guess".
He didn't bother.
Who did, was Hell's Gate.
"Shut up already. He's not done talking to us yet" he said, referring to the God of Time. "Pay attention".
"How boring you are".
Heaven protested.
But the God of Time gave them directions. He told them of the knowledge the Human God inherited from them, of their mission, and of an "irregularity" that would threaten this world.
"So we must cultivate the magic power in people to take care of this planet. I understand".
Natuur gave his impression.
"Hm. I don't want to say magic power all the time. Let's call it mana!"
"It's only two words" Hell commented.
"And? My choice is more concise".
"Please don't fight..."
Natuur seemed rather shy in front of them.
The God of Time continued his explanation.
"There will be more like you. Each representing the Human God, and also an aspect of the named magic. From me will be born Time Gods unique to this world, one of whom will be an irregularity that you must eliminate. I influenced the creation of you so that you could achieve this".
He then explained that Hell's Gate would be the magic in charge of creating the one who could eliminate that irregularity. For that, its destructive power would be unparalleled. It would be the darkness of the world.
Heaven's Key would be its opposite. The light of the world. All the magical arts would be mastered by her, who would be responsible for keeping Hell's Gate at bay.
Natuur, representing elemental aspects, should be the balance between Heaven and Hell: molding the earth and the beasts to constantly adapt to the changes that the previous two will provoke.
The last indication he gave them: not to intervene directly. That the humans would be in charge of protecting their world, and that they would only be a small guide for them.
When they asked the reason, the God of Time answered that some time ago there was a pact not to intervene in that world.
For big decisions, they should go to the God of Time and his advice.
Thus, each began to work. They created their own dimensions to inhabit while observing life.
***
The God of Life and Death met with Heaven's Key and Natuur.
In a space of infinite white, again.
They questioned why Hell's Gate was absent, but they would soon understand.
"I think you guys should come up with a contingency of your own. It is not good to leave all the responsibility to a single individual".
Were the god's words.
"What do you propose?" asked Natuur.
"Do you have knowledge of the creatures called dinosaurs? Well, use them as a reference".
The god's warning was that there was a time when humans abused their authority and doomed the world. To himself, leaving the burden of eliminating the irregularity to Hell's Gate could doom them.
His direction was that together they would create a way of life that would maintain the earthly balance.
So it was that Natuur and Heaven created the dragons. The most powerful race of the new world. And from among them, they named one as the Dragon God. This Dragon God would intervene whenever one force decided to subdue another threatening to disturb the balance.
And on top of that, Natuur decided to personally teach a magical art for one person to represent him among the humans. The magical art that would dominate all the elements would be named after him: Natuur.
When Hell's Gate discovered this it did not bother him.
