Chereads / Erebus - The Primordial Darkness / Chapter 2 - Birth of Erebus

Chapter 2 - Birth of Erebus

Suddenly, Five illusionary bean-like light pillars rose to the sky-piercing it and dispersing around the universe.

Unknown years have passed since the Beginning of Time, Fall of Chaos, Act of Genesis and The Twilight.

The space in the universe remained calm till now but the calm was soon going to be broken because the cosmic seed of five energy personifications has mostly reached its maturation period and soon will come out of its shell.

Somewhere in the endless space, two 30 feet tall titanic cosmic seeds one abyssal black and another stary night were aimlessly floating in the vast cosmos.

Suddenly the gigantic black cosmic seed shone with dark lustre and started shrinking rapidly and now the massive cosmic seed soon reduced to the size of just 6 feet.

Multiple smalls Crack started appearing on the shrunk cosmic seed shell and slowly the cosmic seed completely shattered and an ethereal body with six abysses like black wings protruding from its back came out.

The Ethereal body that came out from the cosmic seed resembled a man and was completely naked revealing his diamond-like clear shiny white body and tight-packed muscle in full glory.

The man's hair was complete jet black with a perfect jawline and a pair of dark black eyes which looks like an infinite abyss with no end.

The ethereal figure who came out of the cocoon of darkness was in complete confusion his eyes showing a strong curiosity, confusion and panic while his six-black wing was flapping automatically.

The Ethereal figure in confusion stared blankly at the vast common for an unknown time, his lips parted and it uttered out its first sentence softly:

"Who am I?"

As if responding to the ethereal figure question the broken black comic seed buzzed slightly and arrived in front of the ethereal figure.

In confusion and daze, the ethereal figure's hands moved involuntarily toward the shattered cosmic seed and touched it and the cocoon buzzed again in response and changed into a black liquid which directly rushed toward the ethereal figure's chest.

The Ethereal figure didn't dodge the black liquid as his primal instinct was telling him that the black liquid was just a part of him and slowly the liquid entered the ethereal figure's body and merged with him.

The Ethereal figure gave a painful cry and gripped his head tightly with his hands, and a huge amount of knowledge started gushing into the ethereal figure's mind as if engraving various knowledge directly in his brain.

After some time the ethereal figure removed his hands from his hand and his earlier confusing eyes regained some Clarity and became calm and the ethereal figure murmured:

" So I... Am. er-Erebus, The Primordial Darkness, Child of Chaos."

As Erebus finished his word he gazed turned toward the core of the universe which was lightyears far away from him but as if in Erebus's eyes it was just next to him and a sweet and sad smile appeared on his face which looked contradictory yet charming and said :

" I wish I could have seen you, father, at least for one time." but Erebus's words remained answered.

Erebus turned back to himself and looked down at his naked body and frowned slightly, although in the knowledge he gained from the cosmic seed there was no mention about this matters, he didn't like being naked and as if reacting to Erebus will some abyssal black fog started seeping out his body and wrapping Erebus naked body completely.

Sometime later the black fog faded and Erebus's earlier naked body was now wrapped in a plain black robe to which Erebus nodded to himself and started inspecting the surrounding space.

His gaze swept the space and locked firmly on the other star-patterned cosmic seed and he rushed toward the egg flapping his wings hurriedly and arriving in front of the egg his white hands automatically reached toward the other cosmic seed and the moment his hands touched it.

All the stars in the newly born universe twinkled but soon the earlier twinkling star was covered with starry darkness and marking this act of the first night of the universe.

Erebus also felt a buzz in its head and endless calmness spread in his whole body and a connection formed between both of them, Erebus started stroking the huge cosmic seed softly his abyss like black eyes radiating endless love and affection.

Suddenly Erebus jolted back in panic and confusion thinking about how to bring this cosmic seed with him as it is impossible for him to carry the huge egg in his small size.

As if responding to Erebus's will his small body started glowing and changing. His humanoid look vanished and was now it was replaced with a massive 40 feet titanic body covered with dark skin and massive hard rock scales, thorns and Two horns protruding from his head and a pair of a blazing fire in the place of the eyes.

Although Erebus was surprised at first looking at his transformation but shaking his head slightly slowly moved his hand toward the other egg and grabbed it in his hand gently as not to harm whatever was inside the cosmic seed because inside it, was his family.

Erebus seeing this giggled happily just like a kid will do after doing its first accomplishment but suddenly he was again confused although he now had taken the other cosmic seed in his hands as he wanted earlier, many questions started popping in his head like flood:

" Ahhh, What to do now?"

" Where to go, here or there???,

" No no, Calm down."

Erebus shook his head to dispel the bombardment of questions inside his head, he emptied his mind and tried to spread his senses like earlier he did to see the core of the universe.

Slowly Erebus fell into a trance state and a dark wave was released from his body and pictures of various planets, stars, energy clusters and galaxies started appearing in his mind.

Erebus focused on every image curiously and observed every single of them with focused eyes but as more and more images of various planets passed through his eyes, Erebus start to become dishearted as he can't find any suitable place among them.

Erebus peeked at the titanic cosmic seed in his hand worriedly but again regaining his confidence said with a determined expression, " Don't worry I will find a suitable place for us, no matter what."

Erebus again dived into his mind and started searching for a suitable planet and again many planets and galaxy images passed through his mind some small, some massive, some completely formed while some still in process of formation but one thing was common on each of them that they were all mostly barren and rough.

Erebus was a bit dishearted but gritting his teeth kept searching but suddenly a planet with slight greenery came into his view, Erebus's eye shrunk and a cheerful smile appeared on his face.

Erebus took a closer look at the planet's surface and found it was covered with colourful things of varied shapes and sizes ( Plants and flowers) and it looked really beautiful and soothing to him.

Erebus suddenly felt something blocking his vision and locating the sense of disturbance found it was another titanic cosmic seed on the green planet and thought :

" Is that also my family, I want to meet him too."

Erebus again peeked at the cosmic seed in his hands and asked expectantly, " Say-say, do you want to meet him too".

Sadly, he didn't get any reply but Erebus wasn't dishearted and started thinking about how to reach that green planet as it was light-years far away from him.
