## History

On Arella, Apari's name was Jay or Jaden. He was one of the best sorcerers in all realms. He was a 7th dimensional being who ascended after the Divine War. After him and his team won the war, they began their separate lives and only came together when the Elite needed them too. Jay would go back and forth between Earth and Arella and eventually rebuilt Arella. He quickly became the High Priest of Arella, despite being its only inhabitant. While coming back to Earth, Brooke and Erika came to him and begged him to take in children and teenagers they found on the streets and in the hands of the 'Fire'. He did, and began to teach them the old ways of Arella. After years of kids going in and out of Arella, and aging while Jay stayed young. He put his apprentice in charge of Arella. In Jay's last act, he called forth Arella and asked her to help him go into the next life. To his surprise, Arella, instead of allowing him a holy and painless death, she revealed to him that he was a forgotten deity and restored his memories. He became the patron of the hopeless through his general compassion and humanity.

In his highest incarnation, Dynaton, they are recognized as the youngest sibling of Ananke and Kronos. After the Creator willed itself into existence, it created three different beings known as Kronos (time), Ananke (necessity), and Dynaton (possibility). The first two were mostly recognized because Dynaton was reality itself and not necessarily anything tangible. Kronos shows his siblings the timeline, Dynaton will show the different possibilities, and Ananke will show what needs to play out in order to keep balance. Apari's god and saint incarnations were more recognized far after the Universe was created, and as the world evolved.

Apari's first godly aspect was known as Anidi Apar or Genesis. This aspect was resposible for helping create the current cycle of the universe and is shown as the aspect who angrily ended the planet with a flood. He is noted as the earliest incarnation of Dynaton and was present in Mesopotamia.

## The Great Flood

This act was known as Apari's greatest act of anger. Many different deities and spirits are credited for this occurrence because of Apari's disappearance. The Great Flood happened as the masculine deities of Apari's first pantheon*,* plotted to overthrow their female counterparts. Apari, noticed that the men and masculine people of the cult began to discontinue their worship of the divine feminine. Finally, one day, as the men and masculine people of the cult village ravaged the temples of the female and feminine deities, the male and masculine deities did the same in the higher realms. Apari, following both the divine masculine and feminine, to avoid an overload of chaos on Earth (and to cut off power to the higher realms), Apari caused the biggest wave known to man; to spread over modern-day Egypt, where his cult was. His anger inadvertently caused much bigger floods to wash over the entirety of the globe. With this act, Apari not only flooded the Earth, but in order to restore it, he imprisoned almost every deity on the pantheon for causing a war amongst humans. Becoming ashamed; he made Koides forget everything about him and fled.

## The Aspects of Apari

Apari (before he wiped the minds of the deities and mortals in the universe) belonged to multiple pantheons and slowly was building a name for himself. Once humans were created he appeared to an ancient cult who worshipped him as a minor god. Once they died out, a prophecy was written and Apari needed to oversee it firsthand. Over time, he grew followers, and finally wiped the minds clean of everyone on Earth, and in every other realm. Once he came back, he appeared to many people throughout many religions, in order to regrow his universal following. His true name and form is only known by Koides, but he is called many names.
