And it was that
Golgoroth had created Mahz for company, so that he would not be the
only life form in the universe, Abyssis. But Mahz was made to live in
the dreadful underworld for reasons that for now only Golgoroth knew,
for he had planned mankind for ages then. But Mahz was
displeased, for then the underworld was bitterly cold. And living in
the ice and snow Mahz learned hate, and became the very essence of
hatred, sitting and gnawing at his own emotions, full of resent for
his creator. It was then that Golgoroth made mankind. This was
perhaps his most wonderful creation, loving and kind. They were
neither spiteful like Mahz nor filled with hatred. Golgoroth loved
his creation, and in return mankind worshipped and praised him. And
that time was the only time mankind saw Golgoroth happy. It
was then that out of the most brutal depths of the underworld arose
Kyriakos. He had been born out of Mahz's hatred, which had been so
severe that it had taken on life of its own. He bore a wretched ball
and chain known as War, which he carried among mankind and they
became entranced by its splendor. He incited malice and arrogance in
mankind, so that they went to war with one another. When
Golgoroth saw what Kyriakos had done with his creation he became
furious. The creator's once beautiful blue eyes became red as firey
coals and his hair became matted. The loving creator took on form
almost like that of a demon, yet deep within him he was still kind.
His anger poured forth throughout Interacus, blazing with intensity.
And he appeared unto Kyriakos. "Kyriakos! Abomination of
the World! Out of the hatred of Mahz you came, and you have corrupted
mankind!" at this Kyriakos only laughed. He loved war, for he
was war, and he was the pure essence of malice. Now Golgoroth was upon Kyriakos in fury,
and from the heavens sprang his might. Out of the clouds came
concentrated wrath, known unto Interacus as lightning, and it poured
out upon Kyriakos. The once proud figure was smitten time and time
again by Golgoroth's might, this once unseen threat out of Heaven.
And so Kyriakos was horribly disfigured, and covered his entire body
in golden army for the rest of eternity. And Krakatoa, being
the life born out of the creator's anger, came upon Mahz and they
fought for days. It became that all of the underworld was lit aflame
and filled with the magma that inhabited the mountain of fire, and it
stayed that way for all eternity.
"O Golgoroth!
Wisest being and yet so naive! Do you not see what is happening? This
hatred empowers me so! I live of it!"
It has been said in
legend that the creator was surrounded by an aura of flame. His eyes
appeared as fire and out of his wrath was born Krakatoa, who was sent
to the underworld.
