The Creation of Armeylose
When he saw the faint light that led him to the first star, his heart felt a small bit of hope. For he had been roaming The Darkness for what too him was an eternity. The light he fallowed brought him to a blazing Star. The first and only star he had ever seen in this Darkness he was confined to. The star was small and still at the start of his life but it had enough energy for him to create a wife. A beautiful woman of light who would be able to bring him many children. Luckily the star was strong enough to survive the process and would continue to grow after he was finished. When he was done and his wife stood before him in the light of her star he knelt down with his right hand on his right knee, his head hung to chest. Back straight, his heart was beating with the fires of passion and fear as he raised his head to view his wife for the first time. She stood before him bare her soft features draped in the light of he star as her arm reached out and touched her husband's chin with her hand. Gently she raised him to his feet and brought his eyes to hers. "You have no need to fear the eyes of your wife my love." She said before be kissed him, they came closer still as the two beings shared a lovers embrace. Afterwards as they lay entwined. The All Mother looked at her husband and asked "how many children do you wish me to bring to you my love?" For a moment the All father unsure of his answer but when he decided on four, two daughters and two sons. In front of him she grew with pregnancy until her water broke and the first children were born. First born was a daughter, then a son, followed by another daughter born third, and finally a second son born last. The First father was consumed with emotion at the sight of his four newborn children in the light of their mothers star. As their children grew they taught them of their powers and how to control the energy of their mothers star. Their father also warned them of the darkness outside the light of their mothers star and the dangers of venturing into it. The First Mother and Father made the children promise to never go into the darkness and stay under the growing light of their star. For many years the children grew up in the light of their mothers star, under the care and guidance of their parents. Slowly the first born son became infatuated with the Darkness, he would spend more and more of his siting at the edge of light gazing into the darkness. When he was away from the edge of the light he would beg his father to take him into the darkness wishing to explore it. For many years the All father refused his sons requests, saying that the darkness was too dangerous. Saying they must continue to grow and learn until they are able to harness there mothers light themselves then they would be able to venture out and light the darkness with more stars. The first son so infatuated with the darkness at this point he threatened his father that if he did not take him into the darkness he would run off into alone. Unable to bare the thought of his son alone in the darkness he agreed to take his son and any other of his children who wished to join them into the darkness for a brief time.
Only his Second daughter wished to join them on the journey into the darkness, after gathering a handful of light from his wife's star he reached out for his daughters hand and held it. Making his eldest son hold his daughters other hand, the children then promised to their father not to let go of each others hands before they went off into the darkness. Holding borrowed light in one hand and his daughters small hand in the other the all father guided his children threw the darkness. The journey began well both children interested while wary of the dangers the darkness presented, but they were still close to their mothers star and could still see the warm when they looked behind them, growing slowing dimmer as the journeyed further away. When they reached the point where their mothers light was a small glowing dot in the darkness the eldest brother grew excited and wished to go even further to leave the sight of the star completely. His father refused his sons request and turned to bring them back closer to the star, at the same time his son sprinted forward ripping his hand free from his sisters clenched fingers as he darted into the darkness. The All Father dropped the starlight as he caught his daughter before she could fall into the darkness, the starlight had rolled away from them and the All Father hoped to see his son close by the starlight when he found it. However he was he was no where to be found near the light. The All Father left the light where it was and carried his daughter back home, leaving the his wife's borrowed light to be the beginning point of his search for his son. After he returned to his wife and explained what had happened he grabbed more starlight and went back into the darkness in hopes of finding his son. When he arrived at the spot he left the original borrowed starlight, the First Father found it missing. He was still able to follow the starlight's trail and followed it deeper into the darkness. He figured that his son had found the starlight and used it to guide him deep into the darkness, but expected to find the trail to begin too turn around and led him back to his wives star. Instead he found the original starlight laying in the darkness, his sons hand still wrapped around it. With a pit of terror he raced back towards his wife's star. He also felt something he had never felt before in the darkness, he felt watched.
Under the light of her mothers star the second daughter sat alone worried for her brother and father, she loved them both and wished for them to both return home safe. The journey into the darkness she had taken with her brother and father had been terrifying, she never wanted to go back into it. It had felt so vast and as if it would consume anyone if they did hold any light. She had left her older sister and younger brother, they were arguing over whether or not their brother and father were lost in the darkness, or worse. She sat not far from her mother who was always busy looking after he star, she sat worried and scared unable to forget what she had seen in the darkness as she was falling before her father had caught her. She then heard a familiar voice calling out to her in pain. "Sister, sister please, please come i need you help! Hurry!" she looked around for her mother, but she was no where to be seen. She must have gone around to the other side of the star, the second daughter got up to find her mother. Before she could she saw her older brother running toward her. She yelled for her family but they did not hear her, her mother now focused on breaking up her other siblings pointless argument. Her older brother grabbed her by her shoulders and shook her. "I need your help now." he said to her begging "Please I need your help father needs you to come with me please! We have to help him!" he continued on whiles still shaking her. Before she could even think on what he had said she was being dragged by her arms by her brother into the darkness.
The All Father was still in the darkness racing back toward the star when saw the beams of red light shoot out from deep within the darkness, he had never seen such a thing before and rushed toward the lights fearing what could have happened to his son. There was twelve flashes in all and they ended before the First Father could see their cause. When he arrived at their origin point he was horrified at what he saw, His second daughter laying bare in a pool of her own blood. Her life draining from her, in a desperate hope to save his daughters life he broke open the orb of starlight and placed it as a blanket over his daughters shivering body. She slowly began to regain strength and when she was strong enough to carry he started the journey back to the first light.
His heart was pounding as he raced threw the darkness, he could feel his head spinning and has hands shaking. Part of him wanted to stop and rest but he could feel the power of the blood magic coursing threw him. As he arrived under his mothers light he was pleased to see his father was still out with his distraction. Too find his older sister and younger brother so busy arguing over whether or not he was still alive, while his mother was so engulfed in stopping their argument. That they hadn't noticed his arrival gave him a moment to think, he knew he wanted more power and had no idea when his father would return. So he took his only hand clawed deep into his chest, leaving four great gashes in hes flesh. He then hid his remade hand of claw and shadow behind him and raised his missing hand toward his family waving it and he began to call out to them for help. His mother turned to him and ran over, calling out too her son telling him he will be alright. Once she was close too him her arms out stretched to embrace him, he slashed out with is hidden right hand opening his mothers throat. He felt the warmth of his mothers life's blood as it splashed onto him as she groped at her throat, tears falling onto her bloody fingers. She fell with a thud that broke the horrible silence, it was followed by the sounds of her brothers wicked laughter, she stared into her mothers dying eyes as her two other sibling stood in silent shock. Not long before the two of them were yelling in each others faces over whether or there brother was alive, now the stood there. Frozen in horror, petrified by what the had seen and now what they were witnessing. Their mother laying in her life's blood, the last of it seeping from he neck. Their brother laughing with their mothers blood on his hand, while they all watched their father flea into the darkness. Watched him running from his dying wife and his children in need of him into the darkness, too never be seen again.
When her brothers laughter stopped he spoke slowly in a new voice, one that was cold and cruel."Our father as left us, he's shown his natural weakness. He is unwilling to learn the powers the darkness will teach. Instead he hid from it in our mothers star, like he hides again now. I am not so afraid not so" he was interrupted by a blast of light striking him in the chest. "I have heard enough brother, what have you gained? the knowledge of death, the power to commit acts so terrible most minds would not think them possible?" His Eldest sister screamed at him as she shot another blast of light at him, followed by another of hers, and two blast one of water and one of earth came from her youngest brother. All crashed into their brothers chest pushing him almost out of the light of their mothers star. "You have committed far too many foul crimes brother" His younger brother yelled at him while wrapping his older brother in stone. Enraged at his siblings attempts to condemn him for his actions the First Son began to grow in size as his fury blossomed, burning so hot inside him as to turn the rock he was wrapped in to liquid and begin to fall of his body taking parts of his burned skin along as it fell towards his siblings. "More crimes then ever need to be spoken!" The Second Daughter cried as she engulfed him in a torrent of water which created a layer of stone that is a circle around the molten stone that flows around the Forgotten Son. The Three Siblings then used the power of their mothers star to create a barrier around the water the flowed around the magma and stone to keep the orb safe under their mothers starlight. Soon after creating the orb the First Daughter realized that her mothers star was fading unable to survive after she had past, for their mother was the heart of the star and no star can survive without a heart. Unsure of what to the First Daughter volunteered to enter the star and become its new heart, however both siblings protested wishing them too stay together. After a time all three decided to enter the star together until a time would come when they could all leave it again. At first they felt blinded by the light of the star and felt as if their skin was melting and their bones were bursting to ash as they stood in the stars inferno. Then slowly they felt the star change them and even grow with them over the time, as if they were feeding each other. For thousands and thousands of years the three siblings grew inside their mothers star, all while their brother was alone his hatred growing and twisting his mind.
