We all came to a sapient mind and started our own philosophies. That's why we have such a great history. But ours isn't the only one, as other divines had their own stories to be discovered in ancient sacred texts. You have probably heard about Lucifer being cast out of heaven and becoming a fallen angel, and Moses splitting the Red Sea. But did you hear that long after Satan was cast out of heaven, a new angel took his place as the new Guardian of Heaven? This Guardian in question was Ryoth, a dark-minded serpent who also took the form of a heavily armored angel when at his palace in heaven. Ryoth didn't like the idea that God was going to create humans with free will outside of Heaven. Perhaps they will follow in the path of Lucifer. Hell had three kings: Lucifer, Satan, and the Devil. Lucifer was the prideful one; he had long red hair and demonic horns and was equipped with a long Spear. Satan was the angry one who filled hell with chaotic fire and games of old sports where beings would brawl and fight to the death forever. Lastly is the Devil, known as the Goatman, with a Pitchfork and a slim tail with a pointed end. The Devil judged people who were sent straight to the gates of hell to be judged for their sins. Don't worry...people rarely end up there, as they are long redeemed before they are sent there. Only those who can change are calculated to get better and reincarnated to live again. But those who go to Heaven will meet their absolute perfect body and meet up with the absolute best health, lacking any form of discomfort. Heaven is absolute bliss!
Ryoth was seventy-seven thousand years old, significantly older than Satan. Every angel was seen as a child of God, and that made Ryoth and Satan brothers, as all angels are to each other. Back at the Garden of Eden, Satan practiced the shapeshifting powers of Ryoth to turn into a snake. His goal was to give humans forbidden knowledge. Ryoth could take on many forms; he was more of a Cosmic Dragon or Angelic Wyvern. In a few instances, he took the form of a humanoid covered in shadows of anti-organic mass. Eve took Lucifer's advice. "Eat this apple, you can learn about things you could have never known before. Forbidden knowledge from the Creator himself. Take a bite, madam." Adam tried to tell Eve not to listen to Lucifer but was pushed away by her curiosity. Soon after Eve had broken a rule, Ryoth took it personally; he believed that as long as there is life, sapient life outside of Heaven, people would grow distant, take this knowledge, and forget about the Supreme Creator who gifted them sentience.
In ten thousand BCE, Ryoth tried to make a move on the growing civilization on Earth. Down came ten thousand, then massacred many humans, killing nearly two thousand. Their target was a small village in the Middle East.
He cleaved through the village and roared, "I shall cull all your lives and send you all to Hell where you belong!" With all his rage, his claws cut into the houses, tearing off the roofs, and even the ones made of solid hard stone. His strength was near infinite; he could easily cut through early iron and bronze with his teeth and claws. The only way to be slain was by someone of higher power than his reality.
Many of the angels alongside him questioned his goals by hesitating on his orders to slay the village. They weren't meant to slaughter unless they were ordered to. But Ryoth made them continue the slaughter, or he would kill them for treason. "Archangel Ryoth, our actions don't meet our status; perhaps you should think about your decisions? Will bloodshed make a difference? I don't even think God would be too pleased by this. I strictly remember him telling you not to interfere with Earth." Replied an angel.
Ryoth stopped and turned back to the angel. He took those words as defiance. "Do not question my authority! I am your leader! You are lesser beings who have in no place to tell me what to do! Now kill them all before they start to fight back!" Said Ryoth.
After a while, the angels stopped killing and knelt in front of Ryoth. "I can't do this! Angels aren't supposed to take lives; we only bring joy and forgiveness. We refuse to do as you say, even if it means the worst for us!" They all said. They dropped their weapons onto the soil of Earth.
Ryoth roared back at them all, "You are all pathetic! I should send you all out and down into hell with Lucifer!" Said Ryoth. Before he could use magic to cast them away, the clouds opened in a bleeding light, letting down an intense, beaming heat ray on Ryoth. A large hand swept through the clouds; every angel, including Ryoth, was instantly teleported back to the Heavens, behind the pearly gates of gold. He cleansed the minds of everyone who was left alive, including the other angels. All traces and proof of this chaotic event ever happening were hidden away and lost as forbidden knowledge.
God spoke in a deep and authoritative voice, "Ryoth! What has become of you? Are you proud of yourself for hurting innocent people who had nothing to do with past mistakes?" Said God.
Ryoth knelt before the light. He had upset Father. "Father, I didn't mean to upset you. I was only trying to get rid of this nasty corruption. Look at them, feeding themself and taking from others. If you let me finish, I can fix it!" Said Ryoth.
God sighed in frustration with one of his children. "I thought you knew better than this. You did something far worse than Eve ever did! There will be consequences for your actions, Ryoth!" Said God.
Ryoth stood firm with confidence. "I promise it won't ever happen again. Just give me a chance, and I will fix my actions." Said Ryoth.
"No! I shall strip you of your power and status with Heaven. You don't deserve a halo, not right now!" Said God.
"You must forgive me, Father. I need my halo to be an angel." Said Ryoth.
"I am sorry, but this is the only way to teach you," God said. He took away Ryoth's main powers. All Ryoth had left were the forces that kept him alive.
"No, please give it back." Pleaded Ryoth.
"I cast you away for a while. You may come back when you have learned your lesson!" Said God.
Ryoth, drained of his power, felt weaker. His mind grew angry. "No. Don't cast me away to hell. I am good!" Said Ryoth.
"No, you are banished from the universe. You will be stuck in the Background with no way out for as long as Humanity. The more that perish, the closer you are to freedom." Said God.
Ryoth had taken this as betrayal from Father. "You old fool, you cannot do this!" Said the last words from Ryoth. He went into the abyss.
Soon after this punishment, Ryoth had adapted to his new domain. There were old dormant Serpants in there. It was an infinitely long black void where he wandered around for thousands of years. Ryoth used what power he had to try his best to call to the universe once again. He made his first contact with a man in the early years of '1432'. The first of his cults. Ryoth told them to sacrifice one-hundred souls to give him power to escape. Centuries later, Ryoth influenced a man named Cain Franklin. Born in 1955 and raised to become a wealthy doctor. Cain Franklin had a passion for health. The perfect person with the brain to carry Ryoth's plan was chosen. Ryoth was going to make the ultimate weapons to grant him freedom. After a few more sacrifices, he planned them to grow big and strong just to absorb their power to hopefully surpass God. The project was named TSD, or called "Three Sons of Darkness". Longer back, before reality was molded, lived a much more powerful force called Love, or the Canvas that held onto all narrative realities. Out of pure loneliness, it opened up and allowed newly formed beings to create their own universe. But when some creations became foul and took on a sinful nature. Love was shattered to pieces across all fictional realities. One shard would end up in a very unlucky person to carry this protecting spirit. The entire Cosmic Stack lacked a Guardian to protect it. So this shard was hiding in the first formed universe known as Dimension Zero.
The cultist sought out three women to carry Ryoth's children. Yuri Perry Tyromus, born in 1987 in Puerto Rico, who immigrated to America. She was infertile and could not have children. Two other women were also chosen, the other two sons.
Inside of and old small church in West Virginia that was built in the eighteenth century. An Altar was built here for Ryoth's sacrifices. Each victim was to have their heads chopped of anf their blood spilled into the cracks. A portal would open up and create a weak gap for a way through. A soul acted as a power source and a key for what I call a rift. As for the ritual to work on Ryoth's sons, the women were to be placed onto a pentagram while the cultists say chants. After all are conceived, they are to be baptised in blood for Ryoth's corruption. The boys' spirits should be marked for great power. When Ryoth gets out and no longer needs them, they are nothing more than energy bars for his growth. "I will get my revenge, Father." Ryoth echoed into the Background.
Yuri went out to seek medical help from the mysterious call. It was sketchy, yes. But he said he could help her have a real biological child, and she couldn't resist accepting his offer on the condition of her wish. The other two women chosen for this were kidnaped; Sarah Smith and Mary Pine.
Yuri, upon arriving, was ambushed and tied up. A bag was placed over her head before she was hauled into a van. Driven to the church, she panicked in fear and begged the men to untie her. "Please don't kill me!" Pleaded Yuri. She had given up moving and trying to escape her bindings.
Cain Franklin took off the bag and held a knife to her throat. "We are not here to harm you, Yuri. If you cooperate, you'll be fine." Said Cain. He lowered the knife and patted her on the shoulders.
She nodded. "What is going to happen to me?" Asked Yuri.
Cain got up and sat beside her. "You wanted to have a child, right? I have quite the medical experience. I know how to change that!" Said Cain. They finally stopped at the destination. When they brought her in, the other women were sedated and weak. They began the ritual. For six months, the mothers were pregnant with Ryoth's children. Yuri was sad until she found out she was going to give birth to a baby boy.
Yuri had felt her stomach, lying on a bed. "How is this possible? What did you do to me?" Said Yuri. He breaths picked up. She had been diagnosed as infertile.
Cain and a few others had the other two children. Callith was conceived first, then Callum Second. Yuri was going to have the last one, and all of Cain's progress had made it perfect. "I use spells to help you. I had dreams when I got my Doctor's degree. But you are my favorite patient ever. I will let you name your son." Said Cain.
Yuri looked around, confused. The other two women were moving. Perhaps they were in shock? "What do you mean I get to name him? What happened to Sarah and Mary? Am I going to die after I name my son?" Cried Yuri.
Cain shook his head and walked over to Sarah and Mary. "I am afraid they didn't keep the pregnancy alive. We had to maintain them because they weren't alive long enough to do it themselves." Said Cain.
"What about their kids? Are they still okay?" Said Yuri. Cain nodded and showed them to her. Both were asleep in incubators. The generator here hummed and stopped. There were police sirens in the distance. Suddenly Yuri's water broke, and she felt pain. "Please, help me. Please?" She said.
Cain held her hand. "Okay, men! Get the towels and medical scissors ready. He's coming!" Yelled Cain. Yuri screamed and pushed out her son. "Breathe, Yuri. You might actually survive this." He said.
She screamed louder until he came out. The last son was now born. But his skin was lacking pigment, which made him look almost pale. He was quiet and calm, unlike the other two at birth. "Come on, Yuri. Think of a name!" Said Cain. He put him into her arms.
Yuri held him close and closed her eyes. Her pain was gone, and she was calm. "Leon. I want to call my son Leon!" Said Yuri. Cain then took him away from her and next to the blood bath.
To Yuri's horror, she tried to grab him back. "What are you doing!? Give him back...Please!" Two other cultists held down Yuri. "I am sorry, Yuri. But he isn't yours anymore. And don't worry about Leon. He will be fine growing up without you." Said Cain.
"Please no! I thought you were helping me have a child." Said Yuri.
Cain turned to Yuri and smiled. "I did help you have a child. You will forget about this day ever happening." Said Cain. He dipped Leon's feet first into the blood. Chanting demonic words caused shadows from the darkness to trail into Leon's body and corrupt him into the path of darkness.
The police sirens outside got louder, and Cain rushed to the windows. "Shit! Who called the damn Feds!?" Cain yelled with a large echo in the building. Yuri sat up crying, his head down. "I did." Yuri dropped a cell phone onto the floor.
"Yuri! You called the FBI...oh shit, we are screwed." Cain thought about what to do next. Suddenly, squad cars pulled up onto the old grass of the church. "Everyone inside the facility, come out with your hands up!" The voice came from a megaphone.
One of the cultists pulled out a knife and stabbed Yuri in the stomach. "You little bitch! Now I am going to prison!" He yelled. Cain ran over to Yuri with a gun aimed at him. "Back off, pal! We weren't supposed to kill her! Look what you have done." Said Cain in a pissed tone.
Suddenly, the FBI busted in. Assault rifles pointed at everyone. Yuri was bleeding out badly. Her face began to turn bluish. "Step away from the lady, NOW!" All got on the ground except one. He took Cain's gun and tried to fire, but was gunned down by the squad before he could even pull the trigger.
Before anything else too bad happened, all of them were taken into custody, with Cain's last words being, "Wait! I need to fulfill my goals! Ryoth, needs meee!"
Yuri Tyromus, Sarah Smith, and Mary Pine were filed as deceased. The three boys were separated afterwards and sent to their own families. At the maternity ward. A loving mother and father came and took Callum into their life. He was named Callum Marty. Callith, on the other hand were taken by a rich couple who had taken him into their lives. But Leon was still there for another three weeks until they were sent out to another rich couple, adding one grand to the child. Noah and Tamm Parsey came into the ward that day and took him into their lives, and the "TSD" project had just started.
