Avalain looked at that which he had done and deemed that it was good. He returned to the surface and sat upon a mountain that overlooked the world and thought. He thought of the creations of the other gods and thought of ways he could destroy them, but he didn't want to destroy them outright and be banished or destroyed by Ravien, who he knew was more powerful. 

He knew there would be wars between the gods and he knew that he would oppose whatever side Ravien found himself on. Having known all of this, he knew what he would do. He looked upon the part of the world that Ravien had set aside for the elves and saw that there was space near it. He went there. The land was beautiful, rolling green hills with mountains in the distance, the sun was high in the sky shining bright with few clouds casting shadows upon the world. 

He knew what he would create, a race to corrupt all others. Avalain the Malignant was patient, he could wait the ages and millennia for his plans to unfold. He swiftly went to Ador, what Ravien had named the home of the elves and collected two. One male and one female, he reached his corrosive hands into their minds and changed their mindset and changed their appearance. He gave them seven desires, seven that he made to destroy all. 

First he made lust, the desire for anything. Second he made gluttony, the desire for food. Third he made greed, the desire for the finer things. Fourth he made sloth, the ill-desire to do anything. Fifth he made wrath, the desire to hate. Sixth he made envy, the desire for those that one does not posses. Seventh he made pride, the desire to be boastful. All of these he poured into the mind of his creation and called it, "Man."

Ravien felt something was amiss once again and suspected the dealings of Avalain. He listened for a while and found that his creation was near by causing his destruction. The creator arose from where he sat and traveled to Avalain to see what mischief his son was involved in. When he found himself at the place where Avalain was he saw him creating what Ravien knew to be man. He knew of the reason that Avalain had created them but not of the manner. 

"Avalain," Ravien called to his child, "How was it that these creatures came into being?" The creator asked implying the humans.

Avalain took his hand from the mind of Man, having already finished what he meant to do and looked up to Ravien who was suspended in air and was terrified that Ravien had known what he had done fearing banishment he said, "I made them from thought, as you did the gods, father." 

Ravien knew that Avalain hid something from his view and descended to look closer at what Avalain had created. As he touched the ground his heart fell and he knew what his son had done. He kept it to himself, hoping that he was wrong. The humans were standing in Avalain's front staring at their creator who was desperately trying to hide the evidence from Ravien, who knew all too well what was amiss. Ravien took Avlain's place in their front and observed them. He saw the skill that was taken in creating these beings and knew that it was not that of Avlain. 

"Avalain the Malignant," Ravien ascended again to the air which had been filled with static, clouds formed in the sky and lighting shot across it, "That is the name I gave you is it not?" Avalain nodded his head. "THEN LET IT BE THE NAME THAT I TEAR FROM YOUR BEING!" Ravien lifted his hands as though lifting a great weight and cracks formed in the ground, the world quaking, and magma that Aken had made shot out and formed up-flowing magma falls. Ravien raised his hands above his head and in one swift motion brought them down. The magma arched and shot back down in the same streams on the spot where Avalain was. 

Avalain had moved quickly when Ravien's voiced echoed over the entire world it was deep and was commanding. Avalain fled, taking his men with him. He placed them where he wanted them to make home, gave them the knowledge they needed and continued fleeing. 

Ravien was after Avalain as he fled. "OF ALL THAT IS IN THIS WORLD! YOU TOOK MY MOST LOVED CREATIONS AND CORRUPTED THEM!" Avalain was not far in his front. Ravien took his hand, lifted it and brought it down. The clouds came down where Avalain was in a spiral of cloud, lightning, and lava. 

Avalain brought his hand up and redirected the spiral to the ground. He lifted his hand, realizing that there was no escape and turned to his creator. Ravien wore his shining armor, his eyes glowed white, the magma had receded to the ground. As Avalain lifted his hand a sword formed in it, the blade was deep black. He Ascended to the level of Ravien and shot himself at his father. 

Ravien lifted his hands once more as Avalain came towards him, who stabbed the sword at him. Ravien caught the sword with his hand, wrapping it around the blade and destroyed it. He grabbed Avalain and said, "Before I destroy you, I shall give you a new name." 

As Ravien was thinking of what he would call his son, Avalain caused Ravien to lose grip of him by pointing his hand towards the forest where the elves lived and igniting it. As Ravien brought water from the lake to douce the flames Avalain opened a door to his realm that was empty and threw himself in shutting it behind him.

Ravien saw that he had escaped and grew furious. The storms grew stronger the ground quaked again and Ravien yelled so the world could here his wrath, "I NAME YOU AVALAIN THE CORRUPTOR, THE FOUL, THE TAINTED, THE KNAVISH, THE DESTROYER! I BANISH YOU FROM THIS REALM FOR ALL TIME!" Ravien knew that his power was not great enough to keep Avalain from coming back to the world, but he also knew that Avalain did not know that.
