“The Darkness was the greatest203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw3yuLMG9o

for us all.”
-Unknown
None remembered the beginning of the world, not203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucxTpmuYaE
even the Deities who formed it. Everything had taken on a form of its own and203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijmsf1kZAP
many believed the Deities to be myths and legends without fully understanding203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCP3EibYOn
how much they still impacted the world around them. The Deities roamed freely203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAT9SQsrNp
interacting with their creations making sure to keep their memories alive even203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAohld5eYWi
if it’s only in their stories.
None of them loved humanity more than Imitae, the Lord203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXLtZ5ZkX3
of the Light, husband to Veyar and the grandfather to humanity. He shunned his203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3doJm5tGe
powers and walked freely among them, helping them with their problems, healing203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv3maDLRJC
their ales and listening to their stories about his family. So, he didn’t think203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZZk7Njvuq
twice about helping someone who needed it. He followed a beggar to their home203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eQhXc7neA
because his family had fallen ill. Once there he was hit upside the head and203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW95hIYsQZ8
knocked unconscious. He felt himself being dragged on the ground then down a203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC22HaMHvr
flight of stairs into the cold, dank darkness.
When he woke up again, he found himself in a dungeon203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QtPzIXyXW
chained to a wall. Water dripped down from the ceiling onto his pounding head.203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kj0loqG13
The room was damp and smelled of mildew. Rats skittered in the corner fighting203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzRkUdYRfm
over a bone from the last person who died here. One walked over towards him203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjg31PF46v
trying to take a bite, but he lashed out with his foot sending it flying into203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDmB6bZV8w
the wall where it lay still. Not willing to leave fresh meat lying around, the203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgHJNZycUZ
rats tore into their friend leaving Imitae trying not to vomit. His granddaughter’s203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0op33cZ7XY
creations were disgusting.
He tried to use his powers to free himself, but they were always just out of reach. No203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC9e08WHtr
matter how much he tried, no matter how much he struggled, the powers he203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Wbrwyw5Rn
controlled refused to answer him. So, he sat there, his hands held above his203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SvHdf5Fgf
head with rope with nothing to eat or drink. He wasn’t sure how long he had203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6FLXejBxH
been down there, time had lost all meaning to him eons ago, but it was the203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVmTkiEbeM
boredom that threatened to make him go insane. Just when he thought he was203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWge6aX8kV
about to break, he heard the door on the other side of the room open.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmeumDKm2p
Two men walked into the room. One of them was dressed in a long black robe with the hood pulled down low covering their face. In his hand was a thick, leather-bound book. The spine was cracked, the words were in a language that had been spoken for thousands of years. He recognized the book as the Darknomicon, the book his daughter had written that explained her cursed powers. This person was an acolyte of hers, he didn’t know how they escaped into the present day, they were supposed to have been hunted to extinction. However, it was the second man that garnered his attention the most.
This man wore a long white vest, but no shirt underneath to show off the muscles he obviously203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSjIOhmbPr
spent a lot of time on. He wore loose fitting pants, but no shoes on his feet.203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdt4h02TqO
His head was shaved bald while his light hazel eyes gleamed in the low light. There were no weapons that he could see, but203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8GkFTCKxQ
based on his physique and the dangerous aura he exuded likely kept any would-be203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48jCNaDutK
attacks away.
As he walked closer, the pressure surrounding the captured god grew heavy. He could sense his daughter’s vile power coursing203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dOjrBX3lJ
through his veins, but unlike most, it didn’t show on his skin, but covering203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2jsxceQba
the body in black spots thickening their blood until it turned to mud. No, the203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUqed45WfH
only indication was his scent and the darkness swirling under the skin.
“This is him?” The man turned to the acolyte who hastily nodded their head. The man’s203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIRrd0lQFQ
heavy brown eyes studied him for a long time. It was hard to read this human’s203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxF7xBGq8m
face, but the warning bells in his head kept ringing. This man was dangerous,203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YoPMfO11P
he should be killed before he brings doom upon them all. But he was useless203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk99nfrtRLi
currently, so there was nothing he could do.
“What is it you want from me?” Imitae found his voice, but it came out in a low203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6RnUoNlHr
whisper. It was dry and cracked, he hadn’t had any water in ages. Not very203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFKt2yrClQ
dignified for a God, but dignity was in short supply these days for him. Anger203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyMpOipdua
flashed in the man’s eyes. He strode over, grabbed Imitae’s platinum blonde203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIQeXfOs6H
hair, so blonde it was almost white, and yanked his head back to stare his203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzythuL5hXj
captor in the eye.
“You speak when you are spoke too, Imitae.” His voice came out like a hiss. “This is my203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI5wUVUE1W
domain, not yours.”
“Be careful who you speak too, mortal.” Imitae shot back. “You are nothing in my eyes,203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0H9j6LrpN
just an insect who hasn’t learn their place.” The man reached back and203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXr1us0Eno
punched the god in the face. He was surprised when his head smashed backwards203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUbxUK3M2p
against the wall he was tied too. He tasted blood which was something he never203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv2WZsGkkB
thought possible. He spat the golden liquid into his hand and just stared.
“You have no powers here.” The man grinned. “You are completely at my mercy.”
“What is it you want from me then?” Imitae asked. He was roughly shoved back to the ground203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcSYeECbxr
before the man stalked away.
“I need to find the Ma’akti, and you’re going to help me.” The man smiled. Imitae looked up203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30V4eckvR3
at him confused. The Ma’akti were the chosen of the Deities, why would this man203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTc2eGR8D1
want them?
“Do you wish to be one yourself?” Imitae asked. “If you free me, I will give you, my203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5K4YNVm7a
blessing.”
“What do I need with your power when I already have it?” He laughed. A small ball of light203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwATnLEw7vb
flashed in his open palm as he grinned at Imitae. “No, I need you for203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4sCFjLzaN
another reason, one you don’t need to know about. You!” He snapped at the203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZypZCy8Cw
acolyte. “Get what you need from him, but make sure you keep him alive. We203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkVn7C3PGg
will need him.”
“Yes Lord Whitesun.” The man bowed his head. “Your wish will be my command.” Imitae203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqJQOxqjsc
watched with dismay as the man left the room, leaving him at the mercy of his203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2eoofCsS9
enemy.
The acolyte placed the book down on the ground. As he stalked closer to the God, he removed203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSPcEDV2wB
a wicked looking, curved dagger from the inside of his sleeve. “Those203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdeGnLXJ6u
chains holding you down are made from part of a meteorite and quenched in the203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWd6nxziq1
water of light blessed by Humjir. They seal your power’s making you mortal. But203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9KkFLF5vI
don’t worry Imitae, this will only hurt a lot.” He placed the dagger on the203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNIwvDdYH7
God’s skin. “Tell me where the Ma’akti Unna’tun is.”
“No.” Imitae stuck out his chin in defiance. The acolyte didn’t ask again. With a large203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVSxfkNpDS
smile, he started to cut.
For the first time in the God’s long life, he screamed.
