Shalmak, the Serpant God, was really no more than a demi-god born of a chance meeting of a beautiful immortal and the Serpant of the Underworld. Shalmak was born a twin, as twins seem to run in the family. Chacemak, called Chace, tha Dragon God was raised by his mother Night and her sister Day. Shalmak was raised by his father the Serpant. Shalmak was dark and evil, Chace was good and pure. Shalmak took a demon consort, Chase married the Guardian of Night, Ky. The two would rage a private war until Devane stepped in. Devane has a great amount of power which she often hides behind others like Shalmak. But when she choose to, she could use that power to bring the gods to their knees, and she did just that. She captured Chaces daughter, the Angel of Destiny and somehow turned her into the Stone of Destiny. She then used the stone to kill Chase and Ky. This didn't sit well with the other gods mind you, but they dared not move against her for fear of the stone. With the stone Shalmak became the most feared and powerful god the land had ever seen. In the end however, it was the very stone that had given him the power that would take it back. All this time Destiny had been aware of what was going on. Time moves much slower inside the stone and it took her sometime to take control and turn against him. The stone was renamed the Death Stone at that time. Shalmak lost nearly all his power. It was then that he found Shadow and regained some of his formor glory. That to ended when Shadow killed his master.
