The red-eyed youth answered her questions with a summary of the world. But before that, he whispered slowly into her ear.
"Little girl follow me, I can't explain the secrets of the world here, as the saying goes, even the walls have ears."
The girl nodded, her little ears twitching like those of a rabbit's. The red-eyed youth walked out of the living room/kitchen/dining room and down the dark hall.
They reached the end of the hall and were met with a large metal door. The red-eyed youth coughed to clear his throat for a few seconds before spitting out a strange language.
"Phngui Cuhlu Ranga Phu!"
The youth placed two of his fingers in front of his chest muttering the unearthly sounding words. The fingers glowed with a bright black light, making the already dark hallway even darker. The youth stopped speaking the demonic language, several clinking sounds came from the other side of the door, more sounds came out before the door was finally pushed open by an invisible force.
"Litle girl come in,"
The red-eyed youth says stepping into the dark room.
The room was strange; it was also large. Sounds of several chains hitting each other could be heard, occasional hisses rang out, it was unknown whether they were the noises of beasts or the sounds of machines.
Apart from that they were also a lot of cages, stacked upon each other and these cages were large. Nyx stared at the cages with her large blinking eyes, but she didn't expect it to blink back at her.
She jumped back in fright and disappeared from view, it must have been her ability. Her head popped out from thin air, looking at the blinking golden eyes inside the cage.
*Clap*
The red-eyed youth clapped his hands together once, and strange candles that burned in the air with an eerie blue-green light illuminated the dark room.
The things in the room came into full view (including the hidden Nyx). Lying at the bottom of the chains were dead corpses, they were humanoid, without closer inspection, one would think that they were humans, but the little girl looked again and saw a white horn on the head of one of those humanoid figures, she also saw similar things on the bodies of the other corpses. She was relieved, it was also then that she realized that those figures were living beings too.
In order to stop herself from bursting into tears, she looked at the stacked cages, blinking eyes of different colours looked at her from the darkness of the cages. She ignored those eyes and looked for the captivating golden eyes that she saw earlier.
Unlike the other creatures inside the cage, the beast with golden eyes didn't hide, it instead stepped to the bars of the cage, curiously looking at this little human girl. The creature was a slender black cat. Its eyes shone with a golden light and the lights leapt out of the cat's eyes and towards the cage door.
*Hiss*
Steam came off the cage and emitted a hissing sound. The cage door fell off, onto the ground, and the cat who was responsible for this act leapt out of the cage and landed on Nyx's head.
Nyx was a little girl of about 13 years, Her black hair shook as she jumped cheerfully, a cat like this was irresistible to a girl her age.
The red-eyed youth's eyes contracted.
'It can't be a coincidence, she inherited a named Ancient One's powers; not a weak one at that, and received the recognition of the Devil Cat.'
As he thought, thousands of theories appeared in his head all at once.
"Cough, concentrate."
"Eh, okay mister."
The little girl was a little startled from his sudden words.
"Now, here is how it all started,"
. . .
Millions of aeons ago, there was nothing existence but two powerful beings. The first being was Seruvim, The light, supposed good itself, it was the meaning of good, kindness and every other so-called good virtue you could mention.
The other was called Chaos, supposedly it was evil, the darkness, wickedness, beastly, greed and so on.
Seruvim created life, countless civilizations, and species. Dwarves, Dragons, Phoenixes, Humans, Elves, etc. But Chaos also did the same, except Chaos' lifeforms could be said to be copies of Seruvims, except they were evil, darker and ferocious, Chaos trained his creations into an unstoppable army, they raided Seruvims creations, raped the women, killed the old and children, etc.
The two beings were the opposite, so they had minor conflicts, creating multiple plots, scheming for the other's demise. The two were very patient; an admirable trait, but suddenly after millions of years of fighting, Seruvim ran out of patience.
He launched an all-out attack on Chaos' claimed lands. The armies wiped each other out, with an occasional betrayal from each side, but nevertheless, they all still perished. Seeing that their armies were wiped out, Chaos and Seruvim duked it out in a final battle.
Neither won nor did they lose, but their last clash ended in a collision that mixed their powers and created new life forms, higher energy life forms. Those that had more of Seruvim's traits were known as the Seraphim, while the others with more of Chaos' traits were known as the Ancient Ones.
The collision left Seruvim and Chaos severely damaged, unable to act personally, so they sent out the Seraphim and Ancient ones in a conquest to conquer the world.
The Seraphim made various Multiverses suited for their existences; they remade the intelligent life forms that Seruvim created long ago, those lifeforms praised them as Gods. But they were still mere pawns.
The Ancient Ones did not create Multiverses, they conquered the ones that the Seraphim made, essentially stealing their hard work. They used those Multiverses as breeding grounds for the Chaos' creations.
The cycle went on for ages, aeons ago, the Ancient One's stepped onto this Universe, one of the few special Universes, a named Universe; the Myriad Dimensions Universe.
They conquered the Universe and their leaked energies seeped into the bodies of the lifeforms of the Universe and mutated them, making the peaceful creations savage, bloodthirsty and flesh-hungry.
After that the Seraphim gathered and sealed the Ancient One's on this Universe, their leaked energies also dissipated with time, devolving the lifeforms in the Universe.
But there are some Ancient Ones who gave up and passed on their energies and powers to people who managed to encounter them.
. . .
"I'm guessing that you must have encountered Nyx, Ancient One of Night and Darkness, probably an Ancient One that is close to Chaos. Currently, the only ability you have is the power to see energies and ability to hide in darkness, this makes you a fearful assassin."
The red-eyed youth only said this in ten breaths and exhaled loudly when he was done.
"Any questions?"
This in itself was a strange question, but he wanted to see what the little girl would ask him
