Rise Of The Demon - Prologue
It was dark... Oh so dark... His eyes unfocused, staring into the depths of hell.
No... Not hell...
Zorc.
He was staring into Zorc.
The demon rumbled in anger, facing him. He narrowed his eyes at the misshapen shape of the Dark God. The dragon growing from the demon's chest roared as Zorc took a step closer, raining destruction on Memphis.
He held out his hand, closing his eyes. He had no choice. The gods he believed in would never help him. How could they? They had failed in stopping the Dark Lord already.
He reopened the clenched fist, a small statue of the head of Seth now held aloft in it. The ruby eyes gleamed.
"I agree to your terms, Seth, God of Chaos... Dispel of this demon and you may have my body, my mind, my soul. I know I shall never pass to the Afterlife as I work in your service." He muttered in Egyptian, praying silently to the evilish god, a son of Ra and stealer of Horus' eyes.
A feeling of forbidding filled his senses as Zorc began to scream. The puzzle he owned began to glow as it shined brightly upon the demon. He opened his eyes to see.
The darkness began to seep around him and the large demon, the two now entombed inside it's shadows. He grit his teeth as Zorc fought against the impending darkness that set upon them.
But it grinned.
The demon began to laugh. "Petty magic would never be able to stop me!"
Had he failed? Was he doomed?
**Child... I would never... but it seems I cannot fulfill the contract in the way YOU had hoped... Zorc is far too strong for the Darkness... It seems I shall get my way~** Seth chuckled darkly, his voice resounding in the dome of shadows. Zorc paused as he heard the God and roared in fury.
"YOU!"
He looked towards the top. "Seth... what do you speak of?"
**Goodbye, Pharaoh. To stop him I, must seal you both.** Was the mere reply. He narrowed his crimson eyes in anger.
"SETH!"
A burning fire filled him as he screamed in pain, feeling his soul sucked into the golden trinket around his neck. The demon roared with him, itself now being dragged inside the golden pyramid.
Blending together with the darkness, the two faded as they entered the realm of the Millennium Puzzle.
The golden artifact fell to the sandstone, shattering into pieces, as Memphis was slowly returned to a slight air of normality, the impending doom of the demon Zorc had brought now gone...
This is the story of a lost Pharaoh who in his attempt to fulfill his duty as Pharaoh...
Sacrificed body, mind, and soul to the darkness.
He made a deal-
His contract with the God of Chaos and Destruction gave him the power to defeat the darkness that plagued his kingdom.
But in the end, the darkness couldn't be defeated, so along with the Pharaoh's soul, it was sealed away. But slowly...
The Darkness Awakened.
