Erebus god of nether darkness looks upon a world in ruins.
He watches as humans, the children they once were, fight and destroy each other and he knows that this is his punishment.
A world filled with light and life before he stole it away forever and left it to rot; a world full of joy and laughter now twisted into sorrow and hopelessness.
"I will destroy everything", Erebus says. "My domain shall be the underworld and all who enter shall fall under my rule."
He laughs darkly, as if he expects the other gods would join him.
There is no answer.
Not even an echo of their voices.
He sees a girl looking at him with wonder in her eyes. Her hair hangs around her shoulders as she stares up at him in wonder.
She must have died so long ago yet still holds on to hope that one day something would bring her back from death.
"You cannot stop me," Erebus taunts, raising his hand.
"Wow you look really cool!" The girl exclaims. Erebus blinks in surprise.
Wasn't she afraid? Why was she not afraid? Did she think he could not hurt her? Maybe he should take pleasure from that for a moment?
Erebus looked very dangerous . His black wings flutter menacingly behind him, his black robes billowing in the wind and his horns rising above his head like blades.
"Come," he said, holding out his hands. "Join me." He knew he could kill her with one flick of his wrist.
Her expression didn't change , although there was some fear in her eyes.
He wondered why she wasn't terrified by his appearance.
Did she believe that he could harm her? Did she think herself invulnerable?
He couldn't tolerate anymore so he vanished in air.
Her puppy eyes were unbearable to watch so he sent her to her death rather than watching her suffer any longer.

Erebus reached the other planet in another time 1000 years back, name to visit his new realm when the first person saw him.
He landed on a large mountain which stood tall against the backdrop of sky and clouds.
He felt the presence before he saw the same girl looking at him.
"Who are you?" He asked, staring down at her with narrowed golden eyes. "How can you see me?"
"I like the way you destroy everything. It makes me feel strong." She said.
She was immortal . How interesting! He thought. Perhaps she was one of the few beings in the universe who could not die? That was intriguing.
Very fascinating. But what had brought her here?
"Who are you?", Erebus asked again.
The girl smiled brightly. She was beautiful with golden hair, blue eyes, and a pale skin and red dress that showed off her curves.
"I'm Nyx", she replied. "And I am here because of you."
