In the universe laid a being. The being was floating endlessly through space. Passing by several planets and planes but he didn't even turn his head to look. He just kept on stating in one particular direction. The being had dark grey hair and wore dark clothes. This eyes were black and his pupils were yellow, while the egdes of his eyes were red.
The red on the edges were blood tears. The being did not cry real tears but was able to cry blood.
The being was without limbs. There was a bloody hole in the beings chest were his heart was supposed to be. Blood was gushing out but the being seemed to not care as he just looked at the endless space.
The name of that being was Fate . . . and he was one of the first ancient primordial beings but had been attacked by the gods and dismembered for their own selfish reasons.
The missing limbs were ripped off from his body by the gods but the being didn't care. He didn't feel pain so he didn't know the severe damage and condition he was in and continued to float silently through space.
Then a figure appeared. The figure was bathed in blue light that seemed to shine from his forehead and was holding a halberd in his hand but the being seemed to take no notice of him and continued to stare into space.
"Do not take offense Fate, but I have come to take your finger". The figure said and took the finger that was also floating endlessly in space. The finger held remarkable power and was able to shake the figure.
As the figure left, a red line came out from the side of his eye and flowed unto his cheek. The figure was crying blood again. At the feeling of losing another body part.
The being could not see the figure, neither could he hear him. But he knew that another part of him had been stolen again when the faint connection he felt suddenly disappeared.
Red lines in form of tears continued to flow from his face. Then he started shaking. Slowly at first, then violently. " Hahahahahaha". The being was laughing. Laughing very hard after several hundred years of floating in the vast space he finally uttered a word and laughed.
His voice was hoarse because he had not used it for a long time but you could tell that it was a beautiful voice that had been destroyed by countless roars and shouts.
"Finally. They have taken everything. They have taken it all away". His body shoke in laughter more blood spilled out he he didn't notice and he didn't care.
Just then, another figure appeared again and looked at Fate but when he heard the laughter, he had a complicated look on his face. He shook his head and went ahead to pull off both ears of fate.
Fate laughed even harder when he felt the connection to his already deaf ears gone and all that he could hear was the silent cries of the universe along with him.
Tears continued to stream down his face and then he stopped laughing. "They think they've won. Or have they? How far would the gods sink just to posses power?" He stopped then said in a serious tone." I will recover my body and make sure i put to end the Divine entities called gods. I will shake the universe once more. You gods may have divided my soul and parts of my body among yourselves but I will make sure you all regret it, even if I have to turn into a god slayer to do it". He said one last time before his life force extinguished and then countless gods suddenly appeared all around him.
They fought for his corpse over themselves, paying no heed to his last words. As gods, nothing more was interesting to them other than power and since ganging up and fighting for several centuries seemed like a way to gain more power, they would happily do it.
After taking away of all Fates corpse. They left without looking at them. The universe cried in silence and mourned for it's fallen friend but could do nothing to stop the gods from doing what they wanted.
Nine thousand, seven hundred and thirty four years later.
********
A teenage boy was walking home ,with a bit of joy in his heart.Normally on a day like this he would be walking home alone on a wide road ,he would've felt lonely .
His school was not too far from the road and he walked like he was cloud nine. He saw the other students walking home with their friends and lovers but he was alone . . . again.
But today he didn't mind his loneliness as he walked with a smile on his face .He was happy because he just told the girl that he liked that he loved her,she didn't give him a definite answer but just told him that she would think about it .He didn't mind at all ,he would wait for her decision.
This was his first time talking to a girl and asking her out. His only friend had pushed him and he went for it.
The teenager was smart ,good looking perhaps too good looking for his age with clear sharp brown eyes. There were other girls who liked him in secret but he didn't care about him because he had eyes for only one girl ,who he just told he liked .He could have been walking with his best Friend home but he didn't probably because his excitement got the better of him.
As he was humming a tune, the once sunny sky began to darken with thunderclouds and the earth trembled whenever lightning crossed the sky. "Huh, how can the weather change so quickly." The boy said but still hurrid up because he didn't want the rain to meet him on the road .
Cold rain began to pur down from the sky, suddenly the earth trembled loudly like a calamity was about to befall the planet. A bright light shone forth and two massive figures appeared from the sky and landed on the ground with a loud bang ,they appeared to be battling even before they appeared some distance away from the teenager.
One of the figures had a purple knight armour on him while the other had crimson scales on his upper body as if like his own armour.
"What the f*ck". The boy said when they suddenly appeared. He wanted to run away but his body did not allow him to even move an inch. 'What the fuck is happening?'. He shouted inwardly when words did not come out from his mouth.
It was the battle that was happening in the spirit realm for a layer of hellfireanyon in the spirit realm. In the spirit realm, there are eleven layers of Hellfires canyon.The king of hell ,ruler of the of the first layer had just died after thousand three hundred years of reign.
A layer of Hellfires canyon was where the souls from the mortal realm and spirit realm came to be reincarnated. The more souls reincarnated ,the stronger the layers of Hellfires canyon and the spirit realm retains its spirituality. The two gigantic figures battling were the purple god and the crimson nightmare
They were both battling it out for the rulership of the third layer of Hellfires canyon. The teenager who was watching them stood frozen in fear as the sudden suppression of these massive giants that appeared in his front, cracks were appearing on his skin and his eyes were bleeding ,he did not know what was happening.He did not know what was happening , he could not move his body .He could only stare in shock and pain.
As the two massive figures continued to battle, the teenager's eyes widened in terror, his mind struggling to comprehend the surreal scene unfolding before him. The purple-clad figure, with its knight armor gleaming in the fading light, clashed with the crimson-scaled behemoth, their movements creating shockwaves that sent tremors through the ground. The air was filled with an otherworldly energy, and the teenager felt his very soul being affected by the sheer power emanating from these two entities.
The purple god, with its armor radiating an aura of nobility and strength, swung its massive sword in wide arcs, cleaving the air and sending waves of energy crashing against the crimson nightmare. The latter retaliated with bolts of dark energy that crackled with malevolent power, striking the purple god with precision and force. The battle raged on, with neither side giving an inch, their movements lightning-fast and destructive.
The teenager, still frozen in place, felt his body begin to suffer from the collateral damage. His skin cracked and bled, his eyes burned with an unnatural energy, and his mind reeled from the sheer intensity of the battle. He wanted to scream, to run, to do anything, but his body refused to respond, as if rooted to the spot by an unseen force.
The storm raging above seemed to grow more intense, with lightning bolts striking the ground mere feet away from the teenager, sending shivers down his spine. The air was electric with energy, and he felt himself being drawn into the battle, as if his very existence was tied to the outcome.
The purple god landed a massive blow on the crimson nightmare, sending it stumbling back, but the latter quickly recovered, its body glowing with an eerie red light. The nightmare retaliated with a wave of dark energy that crashed against the purple god, sending it flying across the landscape.
As the battle raged on, the teenager began to feel his consciousness slipping away, his mind overwhelmed by the sheer power of the two combatants. He saw his life flashing before his eyes, memories of his school, his friends, and his crush on the girl he had just confessed his feelings to. It was as if his entire existence was about to be extinguished, consumed by the maelstrom of energy unleashed by the two giants.
The purple god and the crimson nightmare seemed to be drawing closer, their battle raging with increasing ferocity. The teenager felt the ground trembling beneath his feet, as if the very fabric of reality was beginning to unravel. His vision began to blur, and his hearing grew muffled, but he could still feel the energy building up to a crescendo.
Suddenly, a bolt of energy shot out from the crimson nightmare, striking the teenager with incredible force. He felt his body begin to disintegrate, his molecular structure breaking down under the assault. His vision began to fade, and he knew he was about to meet his end.
In a flash of insight, he remembered the girl he had confessed his feelings to, and a pang of regret washed over him. He had never told her how he truly felt, and now it seemed he would never get the chance. The thought vanished as his world went dark, consumed by the chaos of the battle raging around him.
The two giants continued to clash, their struggle shaking the foundations of reality. The teenager's existence was reduced to a mere spectator's role, as he watched in horror, his consciousness slipping away into the void.
And yet, even as his body began to disintegrate, he felt a strange sense of calm wash over him. It was as if, in that final moment, he had found a measure of peace, knowing that his feelings, though unrequited, had been expressed. The thought vanished as his world went dark, and the battle raged on, unabated.
The storm raged on, with the purple god and the crimson nightmare locked in a struggle that seemed to have no end. The teenager's body lay shattered on the ground, his existence extinguished in an instant, a casualty of the battle for the third layer of Hellfires canyon. The two giants continued to fight, oblivious to the mortal's fate, their struggle destined to shape the course of the spirit realm for ages to come.
As the battle raged on, a faint whisper seemed to echo through the air, a soft voice that seemed to carry on the wind. "What...will...happen...to...me?" The teenager's final thought faded into nothingness, lost in the maelstrom of energy that had consumed his existence.
The girl he had confessed his feelings to remained blissfully unaware of the teenager's fate, her response to his confession still pending. The world moved on, with the teenager's existence reduced to a mere memory, lost in the annals of time. But in a realm beyond the mortal world, a new chapter was about to unfold, one that would change the course of history, and shape the destiny of countless souls to come.
