He was sick.

There was a tumor inside him.

He sent defenders towards it.

But whoever, whatever arrived at the tumor, they would be turned by the tumor.

Slaves to its rule.

After the first defenders were sent, the tumor shrunk down.

So he send more.

But after a few times, it stopped.

It couldn't do otherwise, for it had reached its maximal density.

In fact, what was a shrinking in size had been a growth in weight.

He sent his strongest soldiers to contain the tumor.

He thought of everything he could think of.

He called upon his advisors.

His soldiers failed.

His ideas didn't work out.

His advisors dispaired.

Only one thing remained.

He left containing the tumor to his closest aides, knowing he would never see them again.

To find and train the best warrior there was.

So he looked upon his people.

There was one girl, in a loving family, but with boundless potential.

He knew it would hurt, but otherwise everything would end.

He hoped one day she might forgive him for what he was about to do.

He ripped her out of her family.

He didn't explain.

He threw at her what she could handle, and no less.

She approached death nearer than any other living being.

She felt pain and frustration, for he put her through a neverending stream of it.

With her growing strength, he threw evermore warriors at her.

He let her find his peronal weapons to grow familiar with them.

With no ressources to spare, he knew his time was nearly up.

He showed the warrioress his own fighting prowess.

Then she made him bleed, she made him suffer.

But she gained a strengh unseen before.

With his final breath he pushed her towards the tumor.

Before falling into a long sleep, the voidgod took a last glance upon Vacuos's System.

He knew she had the strength to do what needed to be done.

But would she be able to withstand the temptation to the end?

And what would happen she do to him if she did?
