<P><B><JC>The Fish
<P>Firefly, George/Alqux, Unknown as of yet 
<P>
<P>But then their favorite television show came on and they all stopped. At the end of the show they had all forgotten about what they were fighting about, so they decided to stop. Eris and Elis had also forgotten about what had happened to Ryan, they will soon be sad.
<P>Elis/Julia was still debating whether to use her first name, or Julia. It was then that the someone who dug into the annals of ancient history and searched for the soda of the gods woke up.
<P>He tried to get the soda again, and interrupted Elis and Eris watching Firefly. This pissed them off again. A more isolated holy war broke out on a minor sub-continent. The entire area was ravaged by fire and pumice (brimstone is like sooo last year) and the entire population was completely wiped out. The only people left were a small colony of 53 people who worshipped a god called fish who, surprisingly, looked like a big fish.
<P>He was fat and ugly and named George, but some said Alqux. What the hell he was doing in the story was anyone's guess. It was then revealed that George/Alqux was a statue that was of a fish. That solved the question of why he was there, but there was now a debate as to whether he was George or Alqux. But it was secondary to the study of where the weird spellings were coming from.
<P>During the study it was discovered that the 53 people worshipped the statue because they thought it was a god. It must have been a god because it did something miraculous. Every morning the statue was wet, and nobody had done anything to make it wet. There was no way it could have made itself wet, so it must be a god that was performing a miracle. They never thought of a little thing called dew
<P>* * *
<P>One day a bad physics student who had labeled himself a super genius walked through the charred wasteland of the continent. His presence threatened to destroy their culture by proving that it was dew, not a divine faucet, that cause the statue to be wet. Their civilization hung on by the slim hope that he either wouldnt mention it, or lacked the knowledge to understand condensation.
<P>Luckily for them it was the latter. He tried to explain it, but was unable to. Unfortunately for them, they all then explained to him why he was wrong. This meant that they disproved the existence of their own god. Their last thread of hope was ripped and their civilization fell into the abyss.  
<P>But, because of their intelligence in proving their own beliefs wrong, it became the most enlightened abyss around. Now people had a place to go when they wanted to know where all of the weird spellings were coming from, or what the significance of Altair was in their history.
<P>So they all went to this place and it became overpopulated like china, however they soon lost all sense of national identity, as they could not hear each other over the REALLY LOUD NARRATION. Therefore they left for China, as it reminded them of home.  This left them in the situation they had been in before, the 53 person enlightened abyss that people looking for answers could come to.
<P>There were however able to make a lot of money answering questions. Races from all over the universe came to see them in their Abyss like China to ask them questions ranging from "Is there any way to avoid this war?" to "Should I drink tea with or without sugar?" to "Is there any way to convince people this war has to be fought even though it doesn't?". With all the money they made from answering questions they were able to sustain everybody didnt need farmland, which cleared the entire country for high-rise flats.
<P>So now the shattered wasteland was housing projects of various incomes.
<P>
<P>There was an effort to find out exactly what went on in the mini holy war that devastated the continent in the first place, cause a place with a history sells better. Also the lost tribes (read "homeless hoards") of (what had been) Kyle came so they could have a place to live.  It was discovered, contrary to all other popular beliefs, that the holy war was in fact caused by a disagreement over the price of a take away pizza. It had flared up but then settled again, but then later had become a full-blown war causing death and destruction al over everywhere. It is not known whom had the disagreement with whom however.
<P>
<P>Now was the time to sort things out. The abyss was set with this task. They needed to answer questions:
<P>1 Where were Elis and Eris?
<P>2 Would Ryan or Kyle or both be brought back?
<P>3 What had happened to the Child of the Four halves anyway?
<P>4 Were more gods going to show up?
<P>5 Was there anything resembling a coherent plot going on?
<P>6 Just what were the Lich elves up to?
<P>7 Did Isaqu die in the confusion?
<P>8 If he didnt would he return?
<P>9 And if he did would he return as an arch nemesis type person?
<P>0 Where had all the soda gone as of late?
<P>
<P>All these were taken to the lost tribes who answered thusly.
<P>1 Where were Elis and Eris?
<P>At home
<P>2 Would Ryan or Kyle or both be brought back?
<P>Ryan yes Kyle no
<P>3 What had Happened to the Child of the Four halves anyway?
<P>He sort of withered away and died, not that that is any sort of handicap.
<P>4 Were more gods going to show up?
<P>duh!
<P>5 Was there anything resembling a coherent plot going on?
<P>no
<P>6 Just what were the Lich elves up to?
<P>What Lich Elves do (as of late). Trying to take over the world.
<P>7 Did Isaqu die in the confusion?
<P>Yes
<P>8 If he didnt would he return?
<P>
<P>9 And if he did would he return as an arch nemesis type person?
<P>
<P>0 Where had all the soda gone as of late?
<P>It went with Ryan.
<P>
<P>And everybody was satisfied with these deep answers.
