## The Story

100 years before the the arrival of the Sons of Heephis

It was the final meal for the evening for Madam Sol, as she once again isolated herself. She had pulled herself into a small table with a single chair inside the empty and vacant workroom. The demigoddess ordered that no one would bother her today. Not even...Chaos.

Sol needed to be alone for today.

She had spent the past few days tending to as many refugees that she had the energy to see. She visited many families (or rather, what was left of them) and while it was understandable, it was always the same thing. “Where do we go now?” “Is there nothing left of our dimension?” “Will we ever go back home?”

But the question she could never give an answer to without looking away was “When will the Sons of Heephis save us?”

Most of them are unaware of the appearance of Zielo when the event of the Dark God’s consumption occurs. When the fallen deity enters into the dimension he chooses, it is a chaotic end of that universe. His form warps into a terrifying beast that truly spoke of what Zielo truly was.

The God’s shell was made to be what looks like a mobian, but he was not. He was anything but the form he had.

She had seen that first hand.

The blue cat shivered in disgust at the memory, dropping her fork in the process. She covered her face, pinching the stress marks on her cheeks. Her concerned red eyes drifted to the uneaten food on her table.

She didn’t need to eat to live--Sol didn’t even understand why she even forced herself to eat today. Maybe it was just supposed to be a comforting action. To ground her from her anxiety and frustration.

Seems that, just like yesterday, food did not bring comfort to the demi goddess.

Within a few minutes, Sol had gotten up from the table and left to walk through the workroom, leaving her food untouched.

…

“It’s all a lie, isn’t it Master?” She chuckled to herself sadly, hugging herself as she was staring outside the window nearest the corner of the grand hall.

The sun was setting.

She shook at the sight.

“...Now we are a toy box to the only God left. And he is getting bored. I think he is tired of waiting for them to be born.” Sol’s hand reached the glass, almost tracing the horizon. “I await the end of the day. I impatiently look to see if Heephis’s sun will rise again. And it does.”

Sol scowled at the star setting on the water.

“There is a morning. It’s another day where I must pick up the pieces again.”

Sol’s hand curled nearest the glass, threatening to bang on it.

“ When will it stop rising? When will this torture end?”

She slid down the glass, her full body leaning against the window.

“Is it fun? Using the idea of a new day to give me a reason to believe again?” She chuckled. “As if we have a chance.”

The memory of the birth of the Sons of Heephis’ souls still was fresh within her mind. The dying corpse of Heephis.

The birth of a new age. The rise of the Dark God.

The end of her Master.

Celios.

Sol wiped the tears that seemed to appear on her cheeks.

Was the fall always fated to happen? This one, in particular? It just made no sense as to why this happened at all. Sol was created to tend to the many...things that Celios would throw away. She never was really involved with the Gods outside of her duties at the time.

But she wasn’t blind. She knew there was tension between the deities in the past. She just never knew beyond what was there at face value.

Zielo was also so quiet. He was cold, distant...not too much different from what he was now. He never talked to her, or..any creations, for that matter.

...Well, except the apprentice Celios gave him.

Ohh that being..Zielo’s ‘apprentice’. The one he never asked to have, but Celios gave anyway. Sol remembered him well, but that creature is long gone now.

Sol looked at the bottom of the ocean of Paradise with disgust once more at the thought.

All she wanted was for this game to end. For the Sons of Heephis to prove her right--that they would just vanish like the rest of them. They were all going to fall to the hands of their superior being. Zielo was more than a single God ever was.

There is no hope.

And as the sun had set again, the previously crying Sol had fallen asleep on the window.

## Trivia

* Sunset was planned as the 2021 christmas animatic, but due to hurricane Ida, it was pushed back. It's unknown if it will still be made.
* The story reveals that Zielo had an apprentice. Who it is is up for speculation and has not been revealed.
* It is somewhat confirmed that Heephis has created the sun or was in charge of the rising and setting of it.
