Inside the never-ending abyss lay a being writhing with endless anger, its form constantly changing as if it were the embodiment of chaos. It could hear its children dying from the hands of the other greater beings, so instead of allowing the slaughter of its children to continue, it forcefully tore away their souls, pitch black ooze streaming from its thousands of eyes as guilt melded with the anger.  

However, even though such an action was cruel, the being knew it was necessary.  

Its mouth stretched wide as promised agony and suffering were barely made out in-between the mind-warping language. 

And that is how it spent a millennium in the eternal abyss, before finally calming down to allow rational thoughts through its previous rage driven mind.  

Plans of revenge and the creation of a champion formulated in the mind of the being and hope started to form inside where its heart used to be before it had been ripped out during the great battle. 

Within the now quiet abyss, it focused on creation. Its many limbs weaved around a single point, forming a soul not yet conscious, with its thousands of eyes focused, it slowly modified the unstable soul, wincing each time the soul almost faded from reality. There was only one attempt, one mistake could lead to eternal damnation. 

The being fed the soul knowledge it thought would find useful in its journey, yet it couldn't give it everything as it felt the soul about to collapse under even simple knowledge. 

After what felt like an eternity, it finally stabilized the soul enough for it to become conscious. The being felt the soul struggle to take in all the knowledge it had been given which had caused the being to panic as the soul might go into a state of mindlessness. 

But thankfully after a long wait, the soul started to look around with recognizable intelligence, as if it was searching for something, then it felt the soul’s senses find the being’s presence. 

----------------------------------------

The amount of things I... felt? What? Where am I? Just then I felt everything click into place as thousands of tidbits of information flowed into my mind, answering questions that I didn't know I had. 

I looked around my surroundings but only an infinity of nothingness greeted me... except for one side of the infinity which was speckled with beautiful bright orange circles with black tears in the middle. 

Mother? 

I looked at what my thoughts told me was my creator, my Mother. She was truly breathtaking with the multitude of appendages that seemed to shake and move about sluggishly, each one bigger than I could fathom. 

But that's all I could see, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t see Mother’s main body, only her appendages and eyes were visible to me. 

Just then Mother decided to speak, it was... interesting to hear, but strange. Mother seemed to notice my difficulty in understanding the mass of clacking and clattering she spoke with, and I felt words appear in my head. 

This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

‘My child, whom I alone created; I give you the name of Eclipse, for you will be the calamity which will rip out the sun casting Terra into an eternity of darkness.’ 

I was... Eclipse! One question was answered, but... many more appeared. What did everything else mean? Mother had not given me any information about such things as ‘calamity’, ‘sun’ or ‘Terra’! The information she had given me felt random and messy. It was even harder to understand some of that knowledge as it had flown faster than a Lightning DragonFly. 

Wait, what was a Lightning DragonFly anyways? I think it means something to do with quickness... the scenery of the word does show one of my siblings flying quickly? 

Wait, that doesn’t matter right now, I need to know what these words mean since they were tied to my name.  

However, I wasn’t given the chance of asking what any of the words meant as I felt more words enter my mind. 

‘I know it's a lot for you my child, but it must be done, I can only count on you. Your siblings... won't be able to do complete this task.’ 

My siblings? 

What do you mean by that? Why do I have to do it? 

I knew I had siblings; they were so much more than me, I was nothing, and they had majestic forms. Or that's what I got from the hazy scenery about my siblings. 

‘You’re the... your siblings have been removed from Terra; they are someplace else.’ 

I still didn't understand what Mother meant, but I think I was starting to understand. The knowledge given to me told me of a beautiful place with many colors that my siblings were present in. So, this was Terra? But I don't see anything here that was a ‘sun’. 

Why is there nothing here? 

Silence prevailed throughout the nothingness as I noticed I had accidentally spoken. 

‘You see my child... The other races had stolen such things from you and your siblings. Everything was taken for a foul reason, and now nothing exists here. That is why you must take the sun away from them.’ 

I simply looked at one of the eyes of Mother with confusion, after all I thought this was Terra? 

But, why? Mother, you don't seem to like this nothingness... maybe there's another way? 

How could I even add more nothingness to an infinity of nothingness? Not even a moment passed as I felt myself grow smaller as all of Mother’s eyes turned a deep shade of red indicating some sort of emotion that I didn't know of. 

‘Enough with such foolishness, those beings... monsters! Do not deserve anything! They must be wiped out, I do not care if this will result in complete annihilation, Elicia, Jurnomnium, and Thero must know the consequences, those younglings must know the true power of the ancients!’ 

I felt myself shake as words made their presence known in my mind as if they were being inscribed into myself, as if the confusion couldn't get worse, Mother decided to speak out, which made my vision shuffle many times. 

Then it stopped as suddenly as it appeared, I tried to reach out to Mother to understand what had just happened, but I felt more words appearing in my head, these ones softer. 

‘Forgive me my child, I... I’ll give you some room to get used to existing...’ 

With that Mother’s presence vanished, plunging myself into absolute nothingness. 

Mother? Where did you go? 

I tried looking around for mother, yet all I saw was nothingness. 

Why did Mother leave like that? Mother did seem a little upset, but the thing called ‘emotion’ was still very strange to me. 

Just as I started to feel my thoughts start to echo within me, I felt something in the nothingness, a presence of sorts. Excitement filled me as the short moment of being left alone was starting to affect me in some strange way. 

Mother you came back-! 

However, something was wrong, this wasn’t Mother. Something in my mind was telling me, no, it was warning me, not to get any closer. 

But it was too late, I felt and saw navy blue appendages wrap around me, freezing any motion I could make and force me towards a growing blue crack.  

Without warning, I felt my nonexistent body grow heavy and a white void was presented to me.
