“The Darkness was the greatest248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGAn0W9flh
evil humanity had ever faced. If she is released once again, I fear248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEYG0vpKyG
for us all.”
-Unknown
None remembered the beginning of the world, not248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CAjGhz4DN
even the Deities who formed it. Everything had taken on a form of its own and248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXiiPIZ5C7
many believed the Deities to be myths and legends without fully understanding248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjBKWZfIpR
how much they still impacted the world around them. The Deities roamed freely248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuWAtZjqUV
interacting with their creations making sure to keep their memories alive even248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC840cMLPg
if it’s only in their stories.
None of them loved humanity more than Imitae, the Lord248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ie4DzuQDI
of the Light, husband to Veyar and the grandfather to humanity. He shunned his248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fDQZg5Frv
powers and walked freely among them, helping them with their problems, healing248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0VMzag1yW
their ales and listening to their stories about his family. So, he didn’t think248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGldxy1wdV
twice about helping someone who needed it. He followed a beggar to their home248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnghi0ML9W
because his family had fallen ill. Once there he was hit upside the head and248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxus7PLlL7L
knocked unconscious. He felt himself being dragged on the ground then down a248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSRc84pTTI
flight of stairs into the cold, dank darkness.
When he woke up again, he found himself in a dungeon248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFgUOSaGdI
chained to a wall. Water dripped down from the ceiling onto his pounding head.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYQC0DYpSY
The room was damp and smelled of mildew. Rats skittered in the corner fighting248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKSdjcyp0z
over a bone from the last person who died here. One walked over towards him248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Jfkxn3zIA
trying to take a bite, but he lashed out with his foot sending it flying into248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGeWCth49I
the wall where it lay still. Not willing to leave fresh meat lying around, the248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LIzIZZIiO
rats tore into their friend leaving Imitae trying not to vomit. His granddaughter’s248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0OEbTjm6N
creations were disgusting.
He tried to use his powers to free himself, but they were always just out of reach. No248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicxQJeDQF2
matter how much he tried, no matter how much he struggled, the powers he248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTEneL56xO
controlled refused to answer him. So, he sat there, his hands held above his248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U32JDleEt
head with rope with nothing to eat or drink. He wasn’t sure how long he had248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtiMrqY2oR
been down there, time had lost all meaning to him eons ago, but it was the248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwIZvagytW
boredom that threatened to make him go insane. Just when he thought he was248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufChubG181
about to break, he heard the door on the other side of the room open.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX12KxzhHn
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 obviously248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhFEcbtEjy
spent a lot of time on. He wore loose fitting pants, but no shoes on his feet.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ecd6cdry5
His head was shaved bald while his light hazel eyes gleamed in the low light. There were no weapons that he could see, but248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ415BkJwsAm
based on his physique and the dangerous aura he exuded likely kept any would-be248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kg92S15vI
attacks away.
As he walked closer, the pressure surrounding the captured god grew heavy. He could sense his daughter’s vile power coursing248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOMkC6dyM2
through his veins, but unlike most, it didn’t show on his skin, but covering248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2Hyf8t0K1
the body in black spots thickening their blood until it turned to mud. No, the248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlUrkaPwos
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’s248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3lF581PGI
heavy brown eyes studied him for a long time. It was hard to read this human’s248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w5IhXUued
face, but the warning bells in his head kept ringing. This man was dangerous,248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X6U968PRS
he should be killed before he brings doom upon them all. But he was useless248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1ZaF5UKPP
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 low248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxJ7K44Wfg
whisper. It was dry and cracked, he hadn’t had any water in ages. Not very248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQr7Vjf1X9
dignified for a God, but dignity was in short supply these days for him. Anger248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q6gllirwN
flashed in the man’s eyes. He strode over, grabbed Imitae’s platinum blonde248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMYfQGKs1h
hair, so blonde it was almost white, and yanked his head back to stare his248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLpJtwtj6o
captor in the eye.
“You speak when you are spoke too, Imitae.” His voice came out like a hiss. “This is my248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0syBeCbeB
domain, not yours.”
“Be careful who you speak too, mortal.” Imitae shot back. “You are nothing in my eyes,248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp2fNapRqy
just an insect who hasn’t learn their place.” The man reached back and248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8ypxNy5Nh
punched the god in the face. He was surprised when his head smashed backwards248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOZEcpo5Ju
against the wall he was tied too. He tasted blood which was something he never248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelq5vhSvZC
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 ground248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQIFshstxJ
before the man stalked away.
“I need to find the Ma’akti, and you’re going to help me.” The man smiled. Imitae looked up248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlNSca47pU
at him confused. The Ma’akti were the chosen of the Deities, why would this man248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K1IV5aKTx
want them?
“Do you wish to be one yourself?” Imitae asked. “If you free me, I will give you, my248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeZ39kFd7d
blessing.”
“What do I need with your power when I already have it?” He laughed. A small ball of light248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuvUrbXqp6
flashed in his open palm as he grinned at Imitae. “No, I need you for248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKECczT9Mw
another reason, one you don’t need to know about. You!” He snapped at the248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlsTuMvFtb
acolyte. “Get what you need from him, but make sure you keep him alive. We248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5axkVdeXZ
will need him.”
“Yes Lord Whitesun.” The man bowed his head. “Your wish will be my command.” Imitae248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrW9oeTUEK
watched with dismay as the man left the room, leaving him at the mercy of his248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bt7duFhga
enemy.
The acolyte placed the book down on the ground. As he stalked closer to the God, he removed248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5hqhlH8sL
a wicked looking, curved dagger from the inside of his sleeve. “Those248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3jczb8ZUl
chains holding you down are made from part of a meteorite and quenched in the248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKfRtLmvS2
water of light blessed by Humjir. They seal your power’s making you mortal. But248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqXayi58rx
don’t worry Imitae, this will only hurt a lot.” He placed the dagger on the248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx2un9WUzy
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 large248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFX85kTaiE
smile, he started to cut.
For the first time in the God’s long life, he screamed.
