Deep in space, so far from the light that one would think it didn't exist, was an entity a being of pure darkness and evil. It started out small, just as young as the universe itself began to grow as it did. It began to spread and take over worlds, stars, and entire parts of the galaxy.Â
However once this entity was discovered three gods came forth, from the Norse Pantheon Odin came, from the Egyptian pantheon came Ra and finally from the Hindu Pantheon came Rama using their might to drive back the evil, destroying the primordial darkness.Â
From it however, a small bit of it latched off and planted itself deep beneath the Earth, awaiting to grow full before it became Aku the shapeshifting master of all Evil. A being who would spread Evil and Darkness across the Earth, plunging it into darkness and bringing despair to humanity and all innocent life forms.Â
Yet it wasn't alone in this regard, another smaller bit separated from this darkness and drifted into space, towards a portal, a wormhole of space and time, one that led to another universe. A universe older than the one it came from, but still oh so ripe and ready for what would become me.Â
I am no Aku, I am Byoki, the living disease, one who would spread the Darkness, the Evil of my progenitor across the universe, one without those gods protecting it. But I would need to grow on a planet, one ripe with life and ready for me.
The beings "Galranians" tall yellowish humanoids with three fingers and odd black pupils inhabited the world they simply called "Galra" named after their creator deity. These begins saw me plummet out of the sky, and plant myself into their fertile ground, they saw me rise from the dirt and create a forest of darkness of spike trees and poisoned fruit.Â
They would avoid the rivers I poisoned as I grew, they would avoid the lands my roots have tainted and attached to. They would avoid me like the plague I so named myself after, these people did not know my name but they have taken to calling me "Alrus" the god of plagues, corruption, and Darkness. Not a bad moniker if I say so but I prefer the name I gave myself, it felt more appropriate.Â
It did not matter, they would learn soon enough, and they would know of my might and fury as I rose from their planet. As I plunged it into Darkness and madness, the starting point of my rise to power. It would serve as my first of many examples of what I planned to do to this universe, and for those who would dare oppose me, it would show them what happened to rebels.Â
This world would serve as a place for me to grow properly, to plant my seeds across this world and ready my armies, ready myself to expand across the universe. It would not be an easy task, but I would take great joy in the torment of all life forms, of their anguish and anger, their hatred and fear.Â
I would force them to renounce their god and build statues in my name and thank me for not destroying them. Just imagining their faces makes me all giddy inside, oh what wonderful negative emotions they would feel knowing they were worshipping the being who plunged their world into hell.Â
I couldn't wait, I could feel my body growing, becoming stronger and stronger with each passing day. If I timed it just right I should be fully grown by the time this planet's moon and sun overlap, the eclipse will be the day I truly bloom. They believe my darkness and destruction have halted, but I am merely gathering my energy, taking my time to consolidate my power and grow my body.
I could feel my body growing taller, becoming so much larger and bigger than the rest of my black forest. I feel the vitality of the planet being drained as I gain more power.Â
Then three days before the Eclipse, a warrior came, one far stronger than the rest of these peons. They were muscular and wore dark gray metallic armor with blue circles all around the armor, growing brightly even in the daytime. I wondered why this being looked so different from the rest and their goal.Â
He began to destroy the black forest made from my body, destroying all that I had built over these years. Seeing this being able to do all this I now realized why they waited all this time to try and destroy my forest. They somehow knew they were not strong enough to rip my trees out by the roots so they waited and planned, creating this warrior of theirs.Â
Yet I felt one of my trees, its roots being plucked from the Earth, something that shouldn't have been possible. Using their great strength they began destroying my forest, doing all they could to purify the land I had corrupted.Â
So right before my birth, they created this being, they made it so that their planet may be cleansed and purified. Something I would relish in disappointing them, in destroying their hopes and destroying this warrior.Â
I knew they would not be able to fully clear the forest in time of the eclipse, by the time I rose they would not even be halfway through the forest.Â
This warrior rampaged through the forest, doing all they could to stop the corruption of their planet. Then the day came, the day I promised myself I would rise on, using the mystical energies of the Eclipse a rare phenomenon and powerful source of mystical power, I absorbed it. I used it to fill my rise to power, to forge my body, the branches that would become my arms, my horns.Â
I used what little fruit was nearby to create my face, to make my eyes and mouth. To create a body of pure evil, darkness, and power.Â
As the energy of the eclipse rained down on me, and just as the eclipse ended I rose and loomed over my forest, blocking out the sun. This planet's champion stared at me, horrified alongside his people. The first thing they saw on my face was a demonic smile full of shape teeth, and eyes full of malice.Â
"This planet is now under the control of Byoki, and you are all now my slaves."
