The Damned Gods

Records of a Forgetful Deity: Millennium War

The Damned Gods is the modern day myth title of the Heretics.

During the Millennium War itself, “The Heretics” only referred to the accursed twin immortals that opposed Leia, the Mother Goddess. After the Fall of Leia, they were recognized as actual deities, specifically war gods.

The concept of war gods wasn't a unique concept, so the twins were distinguished by their divine titles "Sanctuary" and "Forsaken." They were two sides of the same coin: life and death, mercy and cruelty, innocence and guilt.

The actual title of "Damned God" only referred to Forsaken up until her execution. Afterwards, the title was attributed to Silence, the Cursed God. Forsaken was the Damned God of War, and Silence was the Damned God of Peace. Forsaken executed the guilty, but Silence was the crimes that went unnoticed, the lies that perpetuate tyranny, the screams that went ignored. Silence was "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" personified. No one could even do anything because the whole essence of Silence's divinity was "inaction."

However, post-Silence's Language Curse, it was difficult for archivists and historians to accurately distinguish the two Damned Gods in texts, so they got mixed together. At some point, curses were relabeled from "evil magic" to "heretical magic," and Silence was further mixed into the wishy-washy mythology of The Heretics. Strangely, putting Sanctuary into the same group as Forsaken and Silence just broadened the term Damned God away from their initial meaning of death and despair.

Excerpts from Reidoux’s Memoir

Part I

“I met Tereq after his… accident. But he and Garden were childhood friends. Sometimes, it felt like we’d fallen in love with two different people: the before and the after.”

“For as long as I could remember, it was always just me, Palus, and Jaden. It was just the three of us traveling, following the stars, witnessing empires rise and fall. Just the three of us, an eternal constant. One day, Jaden hugged us, then he walked into the woods and disappeared. That was the first time I’d ever seen a deity die. We don’t leave corpses behind when we die.”

“When I was little, I killed a man. He was a cruel man. His death was a service to mortal society. But I still remember staring at his body in shock afterwards. I stood over his cooling corpse as the blood dried on my hands and stared until the maggots hatched. I witnessed firsthand the cycle of death. Then and there, I felt like the universe has aligned itself just so, with that man’s carcass as the focal point. It was then that I knew exactly what my purpose was, and I ran from it for centuries. Funny how things work out.”

I likely won’t be adding any new ones since I’ve already gotten my hands full with my current projects.

I like writing After Ever Afters. I’m not interested in writing an actual novel because I’m not interested in writing a functional or entertaining narrative or overstretching morals or intentional portrayals of themes. I’m only interested in writing a timeline focused around a select few characters within their worlds.

They are not proactive forces within their world — they are the butterflies whose wings create a hurricane, and the aftermath of said hurricane.
