Year 768 A.D. Location Zhokhov island in the East Siberian Sea
As the last fading rays of light fell beyond the western horizon a figured shroud in a heavy fur cloak and shadows came riding along a little traversed icy path towards A tall gothic cathedral. As he passed under the archway he couldn't help but shudder involunraily as he remembered the reason he was here. upon reaching the entrance to the cathedral he dismounted and tethered his trusty steed to one of the collumns then turned and pushed open the massive double doors.
In our lone stranger strode full of a confidence and poise that he didn't feel inside, up to the dias and knelt before the shrined thone loacted there. Knealing before A large midnight coloured serpant with a malicious grin and who's gleaming red eyes seems to bore into a persons soul. This was the lord and master of these lands.
"Master, You would not have summoned me here if I was not of any use to you." Our mysterious rider spoke "What is it our Lord wishes of me?"
"Rise Faithful one and follow me." The Shadow serpant rose from his throne and stretched his wings before turning and walking into an antichamber behind him.
Taina cheloveka obediently followed, keeping his head bowed respectfully.
"Look at me Lord Taina" The Serpant Lord spoke.
As Taina looked up he gasped at his surrounding. A tall circular chamber filled with hundreds of thousands red and black candles lit the room casting an eerie gleam off everything. And before him standing tall and proud, Koshei the Deathless, who's red eyes shone in annoyed amusement.
"I have a task for you Faithful One. A task that you and you alone are capable of performing. Up on this alter now." Koshei Damanded
Taina not wanting to anger his lord did as bade and laid down on his back, his hands at his sides and rigid as a board. "My Lord may i ask what this task is."
Koshei let loose a low rumbling chuckle as he strapped down the young lord with leather bonds. "You will know the details in time, however A prophecy has been made by an acclaimed seer. She believes you Taina are the one destined to fulfill the details of this prophecy. Personalʹnymi Puteshestvie" Koshei roared and with that he opened his maw wide and tore out the heart of Taina causing instant death as blood splattered over the jaws and gaping chest cavity.
Looking at the body of the man before him the Serpant Lord spoke. "Travel well my young friend, and good luck. you shall need it in your trials to come."
Taina's soul screamed in agony as it was torn from it's lifeless body with only one though in mind to find a compatible host embryo that did not yet have it's own soul. Across the multiverse our lord traveled looking for where he could take over. Finally after many centuries, in the Lower Material Plane, Taina found what he was looking for. Standing before the foot of the queen sized bed his host's body was developing in, Taina grinned 'yes this babe will do nicely.' Then acting on instinct he lay down on top of the woman and melted into her shrinking to the size of the embryo within attaching itself to it.
And on that chilly october night, as the full moon cast it's rays through the open window of a small cottage in a nondescrpit hollow in the British Isles, a fiery red-headed woman rolled over and curled into the side of her dark haired husband, a smile gracing her fair feature, and an arm draped protectively over her flat stomach.
