The Messenger of the Gods was originally a [[Celani]] Who gambled with the [[Elder God|Elder Goddess]] [[Raclawice]] for Her godhood and won. After a long period of absence from the realms during which He travelled many planes, He made His reappearance during the opening of a casino in [[Thera]]. Under the guise of a young mortal named '''Kalek''' (His avatar), He lured the Divine, including [[Maya]] Herself, into a game of dice; He won every toss to the disgruntled amazement of His Divine and mortal audience. By the third toss, the crowd had become quite adamant that there was foul play afoot, but the Great Mother simply laughed and hinted that there was more to the youth, who had won more than most would earn in a lifetime, than what meets the eye. At that, the Messenger God revealed Himself, inciting a mixed reaction of amusement and chagrin from the Garden and utter delight and cheers from mortalkind. | The Messenger of the Gods was originally a [[Celani]] Who gambled with the [[Elder God|Elder Goddess]] [[Raclawice]] for Her godhood and won.

In 610, Hermes | In 610, Hermes attempted a final gambit, wagering His divinity against the rogue God [[Bal'met]] in a loaded coin toss for the world of [[Krenindala]]. The deal went sour when [[Shaitan]] and [[Apollyon]] discovered the ruse. Gleefully stripping Hermes of His essence, Bal'met banished Him to Krenindala. Brimming with power, Bal'met slew [[Kastalia]] and injured [[Lupus]] after the Divine duo attempted to rescue the captured Messenger. Deciding that enough was enough, [[Ourania]], [[Matsuhama]], [[Miramar]], [[Pentharian]], [[Aegis]], [[Pandora]], and [[Daedalus]] mustered a united assault on the world to stop the beast God, but this also ended in tragedy. Daedalus found Hermes, but it turned out it that it was a trap. Hermes had been corrupted by the power of the Worldreaver, triggering a titanic wave of power which killed Hermes, Daedalus, Matsuhama, and Miramar, and snuffed out all life on the planet. | ||
