Moros and Oneiroi

They each stayed in their boundaries for another thousand years, time was meaningless, and they soon lost count. After so many years of failed experiments Nyx bore her fist offspring alone, and she named him Moros for he shall be the bearer of doom. She saw that her work was good, and she laid to rest

Feeling the presence of another being, Erebus prepared himself for another war, perhaps she is here to complete the battle, the voice whispered to him, 'but she doesn't look like one to attack first 'he felt like he was going to go mad if he sat still any longer, he charged ahead with full force creating his weapon out from darkness ready to cut down anyone who stood in its path

"Kekeke", the childish laugh he heard made him stand still 'what is a child doing here ', he tilted his head to the side only to find a monstrous creature that represented doom itself.

"My....my mother is…is…is still sleep… Sleeping"

The child was a fool, that was the only thing he could classify him at this extent.

"Lead the way", he said as he marched forward wanting to end this battle once and for all.

Feeling nostalgic he wondered if he should turn back before he made any silly mistake, but there she laid....ethereal...he felt like he was being drawn inside the more he stared, he could see the whole galaxy floating deep inside her, it was then he knew he could never win against her for she drew her power from nothingness,

"*scoffs*, I'd have never been so cocky if I had known the difference between us was so great", he turned towards Moros "has she been like this all this while".

He nodded his head up and down as an indication to a positive answer.....

"She must have strained herself too much considering it was her first experiment, come with me.... I'll see what you're capable of"

He carried him to the end of space towards where the giant stars reside, it's time to get your revenge, leave it here, this voice always seemed to know his innermost desires, but he refused to succumb to petty things.

"If you manage to find your way back to your domain I shall consider you fit to be the first kin", he disappeared into the darkness as soon as he said that, leaving behind a very much confused Moros.

"Where is my son!!!" he was greeted with a distorted face of Nyx who was still trying to shift into reality

"I think you meant to say your experiment", the bloodlust aura he felt from her was enough to know he could be dead the moment he said anything wrong.....she wasn't here for games.

"I promise you he's safe, I thought It's what you wanted since it reached out to me first it's why I decided to proceed, forgive me if I've wronged you in any way"

" You're standing on a thin line conversing with your end. Show me"

They were both covered with darkness as he transported them to its current location,

"Kekeke, mummy", she didn't know how to love, so she turned her head and disappeared into nothingness immediately she heard its voice.

"If he returns I shall claim him as my first offspring" she said as she walked into her domain. She soon returned and started her next experiment.

Erebus was lost in thoughts when he felt another presence, 'could it be that it's back ', even though he knew it was impossible he still got up for he has come to know that he shouldn't underestimate anything relating to her.

His steps were heavy yet firm as he walked towards her domain, he slit the invisible force that shielded it like mere paper and saw her standing with another beast in her hand.

"This one was made from deep within my thoughts therefore it shall be named Oneiroi for it shall be known as the bearer of dreams".

He watched her every movement like they could disappear at any moment, deep down he knew he was not wanted here, but he remained stubborn and stayed. Could it be that you've fallen for her already, pathetic!!, he has never wished for anything before, but now he wanted nothing more than to rip that whisperer out of his ears.

He went back to his domain as quietly as he had stepped out and fall into great thinking....he decided he couldn't sit still while she created duplicates of herself, but as far as he knows there was no possible way for him to do the same....for she was a supreme being he could never match in a thousand years to come.

He picked up some of her Moon dust that scattered on the floor and started molding images in his likeness, small figures that all gathered to worship him. But he was still not satisfied, he compared them to the creatures Nyx made and saw he was falling short, in a fit of anger he scattered them all to the ground feeling so much inferior towards her. You should have been the one named weakling, in a rage he appeared at where Moros was located.

" You couldn't even last a day, I was right after all" he looked at the distorted Moros who ended swallowing itself for it could not channel its power out. After thinking for a short while he absorbed the already half destroyed Moros with his darkness, and he felt it ...a pinch of that woman's power...it ran round his body trying to absorb everything at once, her power was made to consume everything that it touched.

It took all of his will power to control it from taking all over his body, and it left him hollow and dark. Wanting more of that power he quickly reappeared at her domain declaring war once again.

A fool remains a fool forever.
