Eternal Eclipse

When the world was young and the oceans were small lakes one name was feared among the land, that names was Ulquiorra Cifer. When people heard that name they packed their possessions and ran to the hills, both peasants and aristocrats alike were not safe from the might of the king. And they were wise for the king was merciless and unfeeling towards others, but one.

The king loved his young bride, a queen that was as beautiful as the angels in heaven and as pure as the whitest snow, she was fair with dark violet hair that shined like the brightest gem in fact she was the exact opposite of the king. For the king was cruel and dark, the hair on his head was black as the feathers of a raven, and his skin was pale and rough, but his eyes were like emeralds perhaps his best quality and his only good quality.

One could say that those were the darkest days of mankind, children attacked and killed their mothers to survive, brother killed brother for a single piece of food and society was becoming as cruel as the king himself. Then that day came, the day that would be remembered as the darkest say in history, the day of the Eternal Eclipse.

It was the day that the moon covered the sun for the longest period since the beginning of time, the kings forces were at the final battle until they conquered the world. They attacked without hesitation, without mercy heads became hats and arms became clubs a brutal fight indeed and none was more brutal then the king, pulling a man in two was his favorite way to kill them and their blood kept him drunk

It seemed that all hope was lost, for in the darkness the dreadful king held the head of his final opponent and in his fury he crushed it in his hands and then he consumed it in its entirety. The fair queen joined him in his throne room and the two basked in their glory. But in his eternal wisdom the king couldn't see the lies that stood directly in front of him. Some of his men were planning treason.

That night when they stood in the shadows of the eclipse the men took action and charged the kings room, they took the king and queen in their sleep and dragged them to the courtyard for all to look on. The king killed many before being brought to his knees by a quiver of arrows he was nailed to a cross and when his eyelids were cut off they made him watch as the ravaged his wife time and time again, before finally beheading her.

The king was then doused in oil and was set ablaze, but he didn't scream even as the flames consumed his body and his eyes melted under the extreme heat, not a single scream escaped his mouth. But legend has it that he spoke a poem before his death, the men listened and wrote the poem down, and it read, "For now the sun reveals itself once more, it reveals the victims of my war, but the eclipse will return to strangle all life, and I will return the power at my side will be my wife." The king died that day his body was turned to ashes.

After the king's death his prediction came true and the sun revealed itself, the people soon realized that they were standing on the corpses of the kings victims, and unbeknownst to them they have been breathing in a disease that came with the corpses, they all died a slow death. And with that the king's victory was complete even in death he was considered a powerful man.

Millennia has past since that day and the king was forgotten in the pages of history, that is until the discovery of his old library was found and with that we found his journals and his documents and so we gathered all of it and moved it here to the Karakura museum of natural history, the tour guide finally finished telling the story which made a orange haired teen to sigh loudly.

"Orihime what are we doing here the museum is so boring?" The teen turned to an orange haired girl who looked rather interested in the story of the king, "How can you be bored Kurosaki-kun? That story was beautiful even when he was dying he thought bout his love, so romantic." Ichigo watched as the group left to the next room and saw Orihime getting closer to a giant portrait on the wall.

The portrait looked worn out by time and it was incased in a thick case of glass. The illustration featured a great battle, men holding swords and head while decapitated bodies were in a pool of their own blood. The fires of hell roared across the battle field and just above it all was the king, he wore dark clothes, he also had giant wings unfolded behind his back, and he wore a metal helmet with two horns pointing outwards.

The two of them gazed at the king overlooking the battle between hell and earth, "he looks so sad don't you think so Kurosaki-kun?" Ichigo looked at the dark king and looked back at Orihime who was in complete awe. "He looks sad, but I don't think that it's his true feelings, in fact he could be happy, and of course a picture is worth a thousand words so he could be thinking anything."

The tour guide then called for them to hurry along with the group, Ichigo grabbed Orihime's hand and attempted to walk her back into the group but she stood still, "wait Ichigo let me take a picture." And without waiting for a reply, Orihime took out her camera and took a picture of the entire portrait and then a close-up picture of the King.

Once she got her two pictures Orihime ran to Ichigo and the two were able to rejoin the group, the next room held some of the king's possessions the group walked up to a bulletproof case of glass and peered inside. Inside there was a helmet on display, Ichigo and Orihime recognized it from the portrait. The case also held the king's robes and his weapon, a long dark spear.

The group then looked at another portrait as the tour guide explained what it was, "this is the portrait of the king's queen, the name of the queen is unknown so far but we still hope that we can find more information about her and when we do we can give her a name, for now she is simply known as the Demon's Bride. Ichigo and Orihime looked up at the portrait for the first time and they were both surprised, "Ichigo that looks just like…" Ichigo finished before she could, "Rukia!"
