Son of the Void

by Halariel

The Void. It is ever growing, consuming and adapting. It's cruel and without any mercy. Those who came in contact with it are ultimately changed. A small boy without family and a little girl, who was ripped away from hers, meet in one of the most cruel places in existence. What will happen from there onwards though, remains to be seen...

Well I don't wanna keep you from reading any longer so, here we go with Son of the Void:

Prologue

The Void. No one truly knows what it is. Well, those few who even know of it's existence that is.

Some people say it is evil incarnate. In the opinion of others it is, like it's name suggests, truly nothing. And some others again insist that it is simply another world.

But they all aren't fully right. The Void is much, much more than that. Let me explain it with the metaphore of the wise men and the elephant:

One upon a time there was king. He had five advisors. Everyone of them was wise, intelligent and smart. But they also were all blind. One day the king heard of a mystical beast; the elephant. He wanted to know what it looks like, and thus he sent his advisors to find one. The advisors did so and, after a long and tiring journey, they arrived in the country of India. They were brought before the ruler of the country and asked their request. They were granted to see, or rather touch an elephant to don the information to their king. Each one of the advisors examined a different part of the animal.

One touched the legs, another the ears. Then one did the same with the elephant's trunk, another one sat on its back and the last one got to grip its tail.

They all were delighted and sped to their home in order to enlighten their king. But when they arrived in the royal palace and told the king what they had experienced, they argued about who of them was right. One claimed an elephant was a tall grey beast that resembles a pillar made of muscle. Another one denied that and said an elephant was like a pair of two big, leathery sails that can move at will. The one who got a grip on the trunk insisted that an elephant is a kind of snake that can utter loud, trumpet-like sounds. Another one said that an elephant was a vast mass of thick, leathery skin and muscle, easily capable of carrying a grown man, and the last one told the king that an elephant is just a tiny worm with some hair onits head.

But despite all the disputes and arguments the king just laughed. His advisors stopped and were confused at his amusement. They asked him what was wrong and he told them:

"I thank you, my wise advisors. Thanks to you I now know what an elephant looks like. It has legs that resemble pillars, big, sail like ears and a long nose that can produce the sound of a trumpet. An elephant is big in size with a vast, strong back and it poesses a small tail with some hair on its end."

The king, contrary to his advisors was wise. He didn't insist on one aspect, from the very beginning he saw a much bigger picture. And it all the same with the Void. You need to see it in a bigger picture. A much bigger picture.

But what is this Void exactly?

The answer isn't quite simple. It is a lot of things, not just one of them. We don't know much about it, but we do know certainly that the Void is a place. The Void is a dark world, the space between the universes. It fills the great nothing between the dimensions and also holds them in line. It is like the thread that sewed the entire fabric of reality together.

But the Void is not just one thing. It is a place, a whole world of it's own, alright, but this isn't everything about it. The Void is alive. It is a giant, living dimension of its own, constantly changing, adapting and evolving. It seeks to consume and assimilate everything that it can get a hold on. Despite what people may think the Void is not a passive spectator. It constantly searches to consume and get stronger. And this leaves lots of questions. Questions I am afraid we cannot answer.

Why does it try to consume everything?

We don't know.

How does it do that?

We're not sure.

Will it ever stop doing this?

We're not certain.

But what we do know for cetain is that everywhere where the Void or any of its inhabitants interacted with the other universes great things happened. Often brutal, mostly horrendous, rarely good. But they were always great, oh yes.

Also, despite what its name suggests, the Void is not a void place. It is alive in its very own sense. And like every living being it has children as well. They are twisted and wretched and by no means anywhere near normal but they are the offspring of the very Void itself. These creatures are called "Children of the Void" or mostly just "Voidlings" or "Voidspawns". They are huge in numbers, often huge in size and always, always deadly. Their only purpose in the beginning was to adapt and consume and to spread the void everywhere they go. And they still do this until today, albeit much more inconspicous than in the beginning. It's the reason why so few people know about the Void: Either they don't witness its actions and stay ignorant of its existence (what you do not know you do not miss after all) or they are killed immediately by a Voidspawn upon discovering it.

In the Void there is only one principle: "Survival of the fittest". Only the strong and smart survive, while the weak and dumb ones are getting devoured and consumed by their kin. In the Void there is not place or time for love, pity or anything like this. Well in most cases. There is always the exception of the rule, right?

Anyways thats the normal way of life in the Void. You fight, you win, you evolve, you fight more, and so on until you either die or manage to sneak into one of the outer universes.

But there are also beings from the outer dimensoins who gazed into the Void, interacted with it, survived and ultimately changed. These beings are called Yoki. Vessels who can use the power the Void granted upon them for their own purposes. Everything can become a Yoki. A simple animal, a normal father of a normal family, plants, even little children. The void doesn't care. It only seeks its own gain and has its own twisted purposes that we normal humans can't even begin to understand.

One thing tough we do understand about the Void:

It never, ever does something without an ulterior motive.

Never.

PS: "Yoki" is japanese and means "vessel"
