Age of Boiling Seas

With the Age of Chaos ended in an exhausted stalemate, the four elements return to each other's company eager to learn about the behavior and abilities of thier creations, the four look to finding adequate homes for thier creations. A time of raw power blasting around space went into full swing.. Sizzling galaxies and nebulous clouds of matter and ice smashed into one another. A chunk of rock and ice skitted along past the Four Elements and they gazed in wide wonder at the cube of molten debris.

"Why, it's almost a perfect cube." Comented Earth monotonosly.

"I think we ought to do something special with this one." Aspired Air.

The four gathered around the cube and held it in thier hands.

"Cool down our cherished one." Whispered Water. E poured oceans onto the cube and it hissed "Kay Seeeeeeif"

"Ha ha. That is what we will call you, Kay Seif." remarked Earth.

Fire silently ignited a nearby gas giant into a radiant star. The four elements gazed in wonder at the clouds and volcanic moutians scattered all over Kay Seif.

For many millions of years, the four watched the cauldron bubble. For companionship and entertainment, they summoned faeries and created elementals and dragons. There was peace without boredom and there was love without folly.

One day, Fire asked when the four could begin putting beings on the rock. He insisted that it must be quite cool by now. The other three looked at Fire.

"What!? Why are you all staring at me like that?" Fire checked e's fly.

The truth is, the others had already begun to place favored creations on Kay Seif. Earth gave the world ferns, grasses, trees and insects. Water postulated jellyfish, seamonsters, several types of dragon and merfolk. Air was well into e's fiftieth species of giant bird. Fire was upset. E insisted that they begin anew, together. The other three felt sorry for thier world and requested that fire reconsider.

"Please spare the lives of the fish." Water entreated, taking hold of Fire's forearm. E pulled away.

"Let us please find a way to do this fairly then, since it has begun." Fire suggested.

Summoning of Overmind
Fire and Earth forge a sceptre which allows the being weilding it to call upon a concious, extra-dimensional entity. The being is summoned by Fire using the Sceptre of Overmind. After a time, the being Overmind, asks the four elements what they wish to accomplish. In turn, the Four Elements detail what life would be like in thier care.

Overmind calculates the dispersment of space and time and recognizes what it's relative location is. It begins processing the request to figure out how to make the process of creation a satisfying experience for all involved.

Meanwhile, Fire begins using the sceptre of overmind to craft castles and clockwork people and kingdoms for fun. The world was built upon end to end, then The Sceptre was held into the sun's light and a great beam of concentrated light energy set the world ablaze. Water thouroughly doused the planet as Earth took it into thier care.

"What is the matter with you?" Air sang at Fire.

"I am the eldest of we, why can I not have my fun?" Fire smirked.

"You cannot continue with your current course of action. Stop harming that planet or I will restrain you.

Fire Launched a ball of flame in the direction of Overmind.

The blast knocked the higher planar being on its duff.

"Very well, then it is decided." Overmind blinked in the direction of Fire and the sceptre dissapeared. It appeared in the grip of Overmind and the being pointed the sceptre at Fire.

"Hey, friend. Please let us not be hasty."

"I am not hasty. I am fair." Overmind blasted fire with the sceptre and a spray of red liquid shot out of Fire's chest. E had never been struck before and only reacted by shouting: "RUN!"

In a flurry of white lightning and fleeting Elements, the four were captured one by one and imprisoned in four crystals. Overmind placed the crystals on thier world and rummaged thier fortresses looking for beings. All creatures were placed in thier houses and castles and burrows and dens. Then they were awakened. That is the last thing to happen in the Age of Boiling Seas. It is also the most confused, disorienting couple of years in the history of the Multiverse.
