As time went on, they began to fill out their cave home to the brim. Needing to once again return to the plains because there were too many that lived on the hills. But it was still too dangerous for their people to live on the plains with the stampeding herds, so the people once again turned to Detrei for answers.

  "Well, it seems we're back here once again. Will our plucky heroes solve the quest this time?" Simon said, sounding like he was the storyteller from an action cartoon.

  "Yes, we will, Simon, now knock it off. Our best bet is to have Detrei expand her domain again, but this time have her choose mistress of the hoof. That way she can teach the people how to tame herds so they're not a threat anymore." Robert said feeling this was the best way to finally solve the rampaging herds problem.

  "Yes, creator, we can also use the mistress of the hoof ability to create special breeds to introduce new species into the herds that give birth less often to bring the herds population to more manageable levels." Detrei said, agreeing with her creator while hoping he would be happy with her addition to the plan.

  "Good idea, Detrei; yes, that would be perfect for what we need. All right, I'll start giving you the divinity needed to start your expansion, so let's begin." Robert said while beginning the processes of Detrei's divine expansion.

  Once again the power of her creator flowed through Detrei as she was given options for how she should expand her domain of divinity; this caused the green screen to appear once again to show her what her options were.

  Detrei chose option A, and once again in an explosion of light, she had gained a new domain, and with that she set out teaching the people how to tame the horses and befriend the oxen. After that was done, she then created altered versions of both oxen and horses that give birth less often to bring their population under control as she and her creator had planned.

  With the threat of the herds dealt with and the herds now helping the people expand their fields, the people began to flood onto the grassy plains, quickly creating villages that surrounded the hills.

  Soon those few that remained at the hills were those that led the villages, for they were at the center of the villages and could respond to any problems the villages had. The one chosen to lead those on the hill would become known as a hill lord.

  For a time the people reached a height of prosperity unseen before under the leadership of the hill lords and with the aid of the herds. Their fields had yields unseen before, and they kept expanding until their farms stretched as far as the eye could see.

  This time of prosperity came to an end when the territories of different hill lords began to touch, and they began to argue over which villages on the borders of their respective territories were whose responsibility. This began to escalate until, for the first time, tools were drawn not for work but for blood, but luckily before any could be shed, Detrei intervened and began to work on a solution to decide how to go about handling the problem.

  "Ahhh, we could have had some great TV right there." Simon said he was disappointed he wouldn't get any footage for his new show, The War of the Hill Lords.

  "No, Simon, we don't want the people fighting each other, especially since a civil war and its consequences could interfere with the greater plan going forward." Robert said to Simon, trying to get him to give up on any ideas of war documentaries. "Anyway, Detrei, we're going to have to deal with this problem quickly before it spirals any worse than it already has." Robert said to Detrei, refocusing on the problem.

  The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

  "Yes, creator, but how?" Detrei asked, seeing the problem was the fact the people's expansion from the hills had led to overlapping territory but not really sure how to go about fixing the issue of authority that now came about.

  "Simple Detrei, since they are your people, you will pick from the Lords those you find worthy and make them kings. Perhaps even craft special crowns for each king to show their station; that's why the question of authority is settled." Robert said using the idea of effectively a divine mandated monarchy to solve the current situation.

  "Yes, that would work, creator. I will begin immediately." Detrei said as she began picking a king from all the hill lords after she had grouped them into a set of seven. With this new system in place and order restored, the people once again returned to prosperity greater than with the time of the Lord's that came before the time of kings was upon them.

  The time of kings was greater because the might of the Lords was united under a single figure, their respective kings, moving to bring prosperity to the entirety of their kingdoms. This shared direction on such a scale that had never been seen before brought with it a sense of community as the different kingdoms competed to be the most prosperous during this age of abundance.

  This age went on for decades until a new being came upon the land. He was a giant of ten feet made of spiked bone with eyes of a black void. This new being wandered the land gathering the dead and burying them in special crypts that just seemed to appear after the creature had first appeared itself. Having no idea how to deal with this creature, they went to Detrei for answers.

  "Creators, there is a strange new being wandering around, Allyssa, and scaring the people. How do I destroy it? Detrei asked in a curt manner, seeming to hold back a furious roar.

  "Well then, I take it you met Hargal then." Robert was a bit surprised at Detrei's rather hostile response to Hargal's existence. Well knowing they'll fight at a later date, for now, though, Detrei shouldn't have any reason to be hostile towards Hargal.

  "Yes, I have met this new being, which I guess you have named Hargal Creator. Now how do I go about destroying it?" Detrei asked again.

  "Well, simply you won't. Hargal is your younger brother, the god of burials, and is right now merely doing his duty of making sure everything is properly buried in his crypts. "Robert answered, trying to explain that Hargal wasn't a threat to her, at least for now, and is just trying to do his job.

  "I understand, creator, and I will let Hargal continue on with his duties." Detrei said in a curt manner before informing her people on who and what this new being was. The people were not exactly thrilled to learn of Hargal, but they learned to ignore him as they went about their lives. At least until the arguing started between the two gods.

  "Well, those two have been really going at it lately. You think I should tell Simon something?" Robert was confused and anxious about the whole situation, feeling like he should step in but knowing that two eventually going to war with each other made him hesitate.

  "No, my good contestant, the two are just getting to their part in our little play. You're just sad it's not a happy one, which is admirable, but remember if this plays right, the Allyssa game will bring a lot of good to a lot of worlds." Simon said, trying to console Robert while reminding them of their original purpose of doing this in the first place.

  "You're right, Simon, you're right how I wish you weren't." Robert said, sadness filling his voice at the thought of what were effectively his two children fighting each other in an eternal war once the game truly started.

  The two went back to watching as things escalated to Hargal rising undead from crypts to lay waste to Detrei's kingdoms. This in turn caused Detrei to combine the surviving kingdoms into a few empires under kings who had proven themselves capable warriors in a few skirmishes and so were made emperors.

  The emperors were able to create armies that used mainly scythes that would have been harvesting otherwise. They were able to hold their hill fortresses, but they needed more to deal with the Hargal undead threat, and so Detrei was once asked to help, perhaps for a final time.

  "Creator I need aid to push back Hargal's forces from my people's lands. Would you please aid me? Detrei asked knowing not to ask for him to stop Hargal personally, for the creator was neutral in this war. But she was hoping for something to end this endless siege that her people would eventually lose.

  "I will connect Allyssa with another world, one that knows war. WhoWhose people will be able to help you wage it in your name, but you must be the one to convince them?" Robert said before connecting Allyssa to the world of wonders and the mad. Robert then helped her make a quick gaming ad for Allyssa and told her how she would be able to help players fight Hargal before sending the ad to the gaming website along with the link to begin sending players to Allyssa.

  After Robert had done everything he said he would do, Detrei went back to her people in the heart of one of her strongest empires. She went to the capital church, her most holy place of worship, and went into a secret room on the bottom of the floor. There was an idol of a beast made of red material with 6 talons on each limb and red rubies for eyes that seemed somehow filled with bloodlust. "One day creator, one day," Detrei said as she gently stroked the statue.
