-Unknown
None remembered the beginning of the world, not263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJjE9BPMWQ
even the Deities who formed it. Everything had taken on a form of its own and263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPDJYISnS4
many believed the Deities to be myths and legends without fully understanding263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgmIMp7A7b
how much they still impacted the world around them. The Deities roamed freely263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwlSioUcOz
interacting with their creations making sure to keep their memories alive even263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23yitko6qV
if it’s only in their stories.
None of them loved humanity more than Imitae, the Lord263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPEgEeuZWi
of the Light, husband to Veyar and the grandfather to humanity. He shunned his263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFmt7cWhpn
powers and walked freely among them, helping them with their problems, healing263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBKMjLpOsv
their ales and listening to their stories about his family. So, he didn’t think263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SEAvk94Ze
twice about helping someone who needed it. He followed a beggar to their home263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybpjIEQZwu
because his family had fallen ill. Once there he was hit upside the head and263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtROH032oEE
knocked unconscious. He felt himself being dragged on the ground then down a263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtbaKx9ENh
flight of stairs into the cold, dank darkness.
When he woke up again, he found himself in a dungeon263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsg3gkUo2p
chained to a wall. Water dripped down from the ceiling onto his pounding head.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lpkvPldeq
The room was damp and smelled of mildew. Rats skittered in the corner fighting263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4iYcnFiSN
over a bone from the last person who died here. One walked over towards him263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYcsB3EQep
trying to take a bite, but he lashed out with his foot sending it flying into263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbVoMXDV7p
the wall where it lay still. Not willing to leave fresh meat lying around, the263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF0czRtdZN
rats tore into their friend leaving Imitae trying not to vomit. His granddaughter’s263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSotnciSZO
creations were disgusting.
He tried to use his powers to free himself, but they were always just out of reach. No263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOgmVUiujg
matter how much he tried, no matter how much he struggled, the powers he263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HtLuCUZ4m
controlled refused to answer him. So, he sat there, his hands held above his263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquER2uCVUj
head with rope with nothing to eat or drink. He wasn’t sure how long he had263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXruiTnZe4X
been down there, time had lost all meaning to him eons ago, but it was the263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvExnhY3Vp
boredom that threatened to make him go insane. Just when he thought he was263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJIfQZGvXy
about to break, he heard the door on the other side of the room open.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX78BI3UB3C
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 obviously263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZHfi9ogQd
spent a lot of time on. He wore loose fitting pants, but no shoes on his feet.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hMzDUpRrc
His head was shaved bald while his light hazel eyes gleamed in the low light. There were no weapons that he could see, but263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaKmNrdBp1
based on his physique and the dangerous aura he exuded likely kept any would-be263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iwEZNxcp2
attacks away.
As he walked closer, the pressure surrounding the captured god grew heavy. He could sense his daughter’s vile power coursing263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXlgYAVPAq
through his veins, but unlike most, it didn’t show on his skin, but covering263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ekUHdo52x
the body in black spots thickening their blood until it turned to mud. No, the263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcJDCdBPbD
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’s263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4nesxECIE
heavy brown eyes studied him for a long time. It was hard to read this human’s263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvhcErU1Jt
face, but the warning bells in his head kept ringing. This man was dangerous,263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzxmeE4vVG
he should be killed before he brings doom upon them all. But he was useless263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03QpjYWleS
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 low263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGngLhC3GP
whisper. It was dry and cracked, he hadn’t had any water in ages. Not very263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg18w79Op82
dignified for a God, but dignity was in short supply these days for him. Anger263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXipd8CP90
flashed in the man’s eyes. He strode over, grabbed Imitae’s platinum blonde263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX95p80KpqT
hair, so blonde it was almost white, and yanked his head back to stare his263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCemfgOMra0
captor in the eye.
“You speak when you are spoke too, Imitae.” His voice came out like a hiss. “This is my263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtAFNQHudZ
domain, not yours.”
“Be careful who you speak too, mortal.” Imitae shot back. “You are nothing in my eyes,263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWHIsx4syd
just an insect who hasn’t learn their place.” The man reached back and263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR8MSGeSeZ
punched the god in the face. He was surprised when his head smashed backwards263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMioK2c7Ng
against the wall he was tied too. He tasted blood which was something he never263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNf0XHZcfn
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 ground263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkFz4mEY8u
before the man stalked away.
“I need to find the Ma’akti, and you’re going to help me.” The man smiled. Imitae looked up263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vuf43cczZ
at him confused. The Ma’akti were the chosen of the Deities, why would this man263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkggnCCNHM
want them?
“Do you wish to be one yourself?” Imitae asked. “If you free me, I will give you, my263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vIcCia45p
blessing.”
“What do I need with your power when I already have it?” He laughed. A small ball of light263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfLaHthz0h
flashed in his open palm as he grinned at Imitae. “No, I need you for263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKwCfZ6yR7
another reason, one you don’t need to know about. You!” He snapped at the263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsroaB2WcyX
acolyte. “Get what you need from him, but make sure you keep him alive. We263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqc4MfGqR1
will need him.”
“Yes Lord Whitesun.” The man bowed his head. “Your wish will be my command.” Imitae263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR4uj6uZ40
watched with dismay as the man left the room, leaving him at the mercy of his263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4ZDGetB9w
enemy.
The acolyte placed the book down on the ground. As he stalked closer to the God, he removed263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2aeoVVlXg
a wicked looking, curved dagger from the inside of his sleeve. “Those263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq6HbFPywW
chains holding you down are made from part of a meteorite and quenched in the263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bgWmr1y54
water of light blessed by Humjir. They seal your power’s making you mortal. But263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxNdINloay
don’t worry Imitae, this will only hurt a lot.” He placed the dagger on the263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4ksp8ONuK
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 large263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNoqHwoX50
smile, he started to cut.
For the first time in the God’s long life, he screamed.
