Erebos, the Curse of Evil

In the silence of the battlefield, corpses are pilled up everywhere. Amongst them women, mens and children fighting for cause which are not even theirs lays, eyes restless, body cold and mutilated. The wind blows onto the battlefield giving this full moon the true meaning of dredges. Blood flowing like rivers, guts acting as gateway for rats and rot taking hold of the lands. The smell of rust and iron lingering from the battle, the heat that is residing in the air that was once the warmt of a carring parent.

Amidst the grim tableau of the battlefield, a colossal demon, imposing in stature and nightmarish in visage, strode resolutely over the lifeless bodies that lay strewn in his path. His long, tangled hair cascaded like a shroud of darkness, its strands streaked with the battle-worn grey of countless struggles. His form bore the unmistakable weariness of one who had battled ceaselessly, a warrior championing a cause that was both his own and the embodiment of malevolence to those who dared oppose him.

Today, he had returned to fulfill a sinister destiny, to complete what he had started—an apocalyptic reckoning that had unfurled across the land like a relentless storm. Amongst the wreckage of the fallen, he discovered a life that could not be ignored, a flicker of vitality amidst the lifelessness. With a commanding gesture, he extended his hand, pointing towards a massive heap of carcasses, and from their midst, a half-rotted young woman suddenly lifted into the air, drawn toward the colossal demon as if guided by a macabre force.

In that chilling moment, he sensed the pulse of life within this grotesque creature. His instincts, once inured to cruelty, now recognized a different calling. With grim determination, he chose to seize this opportunity, to pluck a flicker of life from the jaws of death. In his fearsome castle, a place where the very walls resonated with the malevolence that defined him, he embarked on a mission to save a life, unaware of the dire consequences that would unfold.

Had he known the true nature of his actions, he might have hesitated, might have spared the world from the curse that was to follow—a curse that would haunt not only his own dark heart but would spread like a relentless plague, infecting all with the most insidious and pervasive of all human and demons emotions: fear. The relentless cycle of darkness and despair was about to take a chilling new turn, with the potential to consume not just the demon but the world itself in its inexorable grip.
