The Gods

The Gods are responsible for creating, maintaining, controlling, and ending mortal life. Each god was created for a different purpose, the initial four gods being; the Goddess of Time, the God of Planetary Creation, the God of Space, and the Goddess of Earth. All but one of these four were faded, when Gods are no longer needed, they cease to exist. The three gods during the TOR timeline are; the God of Life and Death, the Goddess of Earth, and the Goddess of Disaster. Gods can and will be faded if they do not follow the rules or serve their purpose towards life.

## The Lightray

On the morning of October 17, 2007, many mortals awoke to an brief, yet intense heatwave. The ones who would go out to investigate saw their Sun rapidly approaching. As the mortals prepared for their demise and panic set within the humans, it stopped. After this day, all memory of the incident was erased from human mind. As animals cannot communicate with humans, the Gods did not bother to erase their memories. The cause of Lightray was due to the previous god of Life, Neveran. Neveran had begun to give up on his creations, wanting to restart and needing a way to wipe out the existence of life on Earth. As he began the process, the other Gods began to quickly stop Neveran's plan. Neveran was swiftly faded as a result of his treason against his rules. The god of Life role was given to Raiverin, the god of Death. Raiverin now creates mortals to later kill them.

## The Reset

The Reset was a final, desperate attempt to rid the world of Ashton Mayflower. The Gods chose two remaining members of the family to survive, and hoped they would prosper. The Reset was a bright flash, causing the instantaneous and painless death of all humans and animals.

## The Mayflower Incident

The Gods had created the Mayflowers, but did not have plans to contact them. Raiverin reached out to Ashton Mayflower after his parents' death. They used the grieving child to investigate the Mountain Tribes as they did not believe in the Gods, making it so they could not watch over them. During Ashton's investigation, Raiverin communicated to him through dreams to warn him so he would stay on task. This did not work, as Ashton died on his own accord. Raiverin had planned to kill Ashton himself, but mistook Faron for Ashton and killed them on the rock instead. During Caterpillar's rise to independency, Raiverin did not have sympathy for the Tiven. As William and Ash arrived in Heaven around the same time, Vira was there at the time. William stole the Commons Book, instilling a small anxiety in the Gods about the Mayflowers. After the Reset, the Gods did not communicate with the two mortals who still lived. The three Gods came down after Ashton's banishment, thanking the two for their efforts and offering to fix their world.

After sending Leon and Paris to Earth 770, telling them that they would be sent back in time, the Gods remained dormant for a while before the two had realized where they were. Plasma, the Goddess of Time was summoned by Leon, yet refused to merge the Universes like he asked. Leon would take the Havenstone from her hands and would cause the Shift. Raiverin would arrive in the remains of Earth 770 to explain to Leon that he does not want to punish him, but he must due to the rules. He traps Leon in the broken universe, and returns to Hell. The Gods would stay away from the Mayflowers for the remainder of time, finding it safer to leave them alone than to interfere.
