From the Darkness

Desperation

Eons before the realms of man flourished, Lightning rips across the ether, the sound of immense power clashing, resonating like a sonic boom. "EROS... I ask you once more brother, Where is she?!" Seeing Erebus half mad, hearing the pain and seeing him lost in the need to get Nyx back Eros could only laugh. How dare she choose his brother, he was nothing, a roiling, raging darkness incapable of love. Spittle and ichor flying from the last blow.. Eros laughed even harder, he knew what was coming.. "Dead brother, she chose wrong and you, my own brother, would deny me what is my right, the w***e didn't deserve to draw another breath". Erebus, releasing a scream of raw agony sent a blast of absolute darkness, intent on ending his brother, but in a blinding flash of light he was gone. "No.. Noooo, I will find you, I will bathe in the Golden ichor and feed your soul to the wraiths, Fates hear me". But the fates did hear him, having seen his anguish, the love that was more pure than anything thought to be felt by the embodiment of darkness, the fates decided this would not be the end and they wove a new thread. Nyx would be gone, for now. They could not undo what Eros had already done, but they could redirect her essence. Her soul will regenerate and when ready, she will be reborn and released into the mortal realms. Only in willingly reuniting with Erebus will her immortality be regained. However, a power and soul as pure as hers won’t be easily concealed. Her spirit will shine like a beacon for all to see. He won't be the only one to feel this awakening, Eros, when the time comes, will also know the taste of her power reborn.
