In the Volcano newly named The forge of life. Lava churned inside it, radiating a heat that caused the area 10 kilometres around it to become completely deserted.
Created during the birth of the world, this Forge acted as a anchor of elements. The fire element primarily. There were also different other anchors scattered around the world, for different elements. They were all indestructable, for destroying them meant destroying the world...which is possible, but someone with that power doesn't need to for anchors of the world, they can just do it, so they were VIRTUALLY indestructable.
Inside the forge of life, above its forever crimson floor of lava stood it's first 'son'. The first wise being, proclaimed King of the world, the supreme and eternal, Son of destiny, the world 's favoured, the embodiment of arrogance, the master of Primordial flames, Zeroth. (Damn, thats a lot of titles, if this was a online game, the man would be buffed to oblivion).
In Zeroth's eyes, the volcano looked completely Different. What he saw was something on a spiritual level. He saw red coloured glowing dots, so small yet so many, forming uncountable rivers, flowing from the volcano towards the whole world of Rhombus.
"Feir", Zeroth murmured, Fier meant the element of fire, something he had close ties to (incase you didn't catch that until now).
Yet that was not all, his sight lingered on where the rivers of Feir crossed each other, there he saw 'coccons'. Coccons meant life. A life that would have normally been born millenias later, still in its infancy.
"Flames of life, Flames of Wisdom, bend to your King's words and gift me new Subjects!", Zeroth's declaration echoed throughout the forge of life, accompanied by a deep rumble.
The areas where the river of Feir crossed, where the infant fire elementals slept, changed their colour to green and golden. For Feir si the stauch subordinate of the King whose actions caused its rules and authority to be the first to solidify among the Elements.
The infants fire elementals started growing at tremendous speed, about to wake up at any time.
RUMBLE--CRACKLE--CRACKLE
Just then, dark clouds covered the sky, rain started falling, lightning crackled around in wraith, the ground trembled causing earthquakes, tornadoes appeared around the forge, darkness appeared in its edges, parts forze, time turned chaotic....in short all the elements are ganging up on the forge of life.
"Pathetic ones, bow before your King", Zeroth ordered with his eyes filled with disdain. His will burst forth it's full power surpressing the area, and forcing the elements to not disturb him.
Yet everything has a price, Zeroth dared to create a wisdom race wayyy before it's destined time causing the law is destiny (which had not really solidified) to COMPLETELY go extinct from the world, never to reappear again.
Such actions are to be punished by the world, yet Zeroth is its favourite. Not to mention, a powerful being who will play a great role in future wars against other worlds. The world can't punish it's favourite child, especially one with such good potential. However, the world 's underlying logic required it to punish Zeroth.
So it did what should be done, it gave the authority of sin of Pride to Zeroth, this would cause Zeroth to become more arrogant with another drawback of...becoming more powerful and versatile. After all, the world has studied some information floating around in the chaos void, and has heard that those at the top are always lonely.
Yes yes, that is the true reason, anyway as long as the world belived that this was the reason, who else was left (with even basic intelligence) to question it?
Meanwhile, Zeroth felt a new authority merging with him, which he accepted calmly after all, it was normal for someone as Great and Supreme as himself to suddenly become more powerful.
However this was beside the point, for the flame elementals had opened their eyes.
About 500 of them, they looked around in confusion until what seemed to be the strongest of them, looked at Zeroth and immediately knelt with one knee. The others following suit.
The leading one had obviously recived information about its birth through the Feir around them. He looked at Zeroth in front of him, and with a heart full of love towards his creator, said aloud his first words, "Father".
SWISH
The moment the words left his lips (yes, these fire elementals had mouth), his vision suddenly became dizzy, followed by a seating apin in his arm.
Looking at the source of the pain, he watched in horror as his entire left arm was cut off, with a single though from his 'father'.
From this point on, in that elemental's mind, 'father' officially started appearing in quotation marks.
Zeroth coldy looked at his creations, no expression on his faceless face (who would have thought), as he solemnly declared.
"Do not try to get close to me using your filthy mouth, I am your King, you may only call me King, or else it would not be a single arm your losing."

Author Note and question.
Though I don't think nobody is currently reading my book (kinda sad). I have a few requests I hope my readers can help with.
1.- I don't wanna call fire elementals just that, I need your guys help to give them a good species name.
2.- As you can see, I am doing a lot of custom animal and civilizations and monuments. This is only gonna get worse and more complicated, so I am considering create a special chapter on volume 0, which I will continuously update with more animals, events, destroyed civilizations (yes, they may or may not get destroyed). Basically, A Lore Book lol. Tell me if I should do it, and if you have any suggestions.
