The Darkness
A long time ago, many mystical creatures claimed the lands. Human and creature alike lived in harmony, until a great evil awoke. Twelve Pillars were created and bestowed upon hybrids of human and mythical beast. War broke out when the leader of the Pillars unleashed his powers...
2500 years ago
In a land covered by green grass and trees, a small sparrow glides through the sky. It flaps once, then twice, enjoying the night air. Looking around for food, the bird spots something in the distance. Coming closer, the bird sees a massive dark area. It slowly flies to the area, as the darkness becomes bigger and bigger. The bird feels fear, and attempts to fly away, as black tendrils begin sucking the poor creature in.
A distance away, a blond haired boy watches the bird. As the creature flies into the dark mass, the boy makes his move. On his back, a dragon sword lies in it's scabbard, waiting for it's time to be used. The boy begins walking towards the mass, feeling the dark energy emitting from it. The boy allows his own darkness to consume him, before sprinting and jumping into the darkness.
Once he enters, he begins running for several days, for the darkness consumes much of the land. He finds a temple, and many bodies of people, animals, and mythical beasts. He continues searching for what he came to search for.
A ways away, a boy keeps reliving his darkness. The red haired boy allows the darkness he has felt since he was born to take shape, devouring much of the land in his Madness. In his mind, he sees the bodies of the ones he drove to madness, and the ones he loved the most be destroyed. He huddles closer to himself, as he felt his brother enter his darkness.
He had stopped crying a long time ago, and in his madness, he destroyed his eyes, in hopes that the curse would stop. He senses a sword under his chin, and he looks up at the figure above him.
"Did you come to kill me, brother?" He asks, in hopes that he will die.
"No, I came here to save you, xxxxxxxxxxx," he replies quietly, as he hugs the smaller one.
"Why did Father curse us? Why do I have to have this madness?" he asks. "Why, Meliodas?"
"Because he wished to destroy everything. Because we messed up his plans," Meliodas replies, knocking the boy unconscious. The darkness surrounding the two goes straight into the red-haired boy, allowing the deep madness to leave the landscape.
Meliodas picks up the boy and carries him to places unknown.
Near the End of a fictional 19th Century
Meliodas begins his day by checking for his brother once again. Every once in a while, the boy finds clues or finds his brother in a forest, or in the middle of the desert. The only thing keeping him away from him is his love for Elizabeth, and his need to find a way to defeat his clan if they ever came back...
