Darkness…what is it?

Darkness can be so many things. It can be the spawn of evil. It can be where the light spawns. It can be the absence of everything or the presence of something incomprehensible. Either way, I bet you're confused. Let's go back to the beginning. To where it all started.

It all started when Khahrahk, or the Tree of Knowledge was planted. He was the smallest of his siblings, but he was the only one that was aware of everything around him. He found that his suffering was caused by existence, and he vowed to destroy existence himself. To do this, he consumed his siblings to grow stronger. He then vowed to destroy 3 things: the Tree, the Creator, and the Creation. He then continued to grow stronger by consuming and subjugating other gods, which makes him the King of the Darkness Below. After that, he declared war on Creation. However, that is a war that doesn't end until everything is destroyed. To complete the task, he takes a goddess named Sanaa and forces her to marry him and she sired seven daughters. Sanaa died after birthing them and the Scarlet King ended up taking his seven daughters as his brides and makes them sire seven "Leviathans".

Many years later, an organization was formed. This cult was named "the Children of the Scarlet King." The organization held seven women, varying ages. They all were pregnant with children of the Scarlet King. One of them, the youngest, gave birth in secret. A boy, named Zephyr. This boy was then put into an orphanage. She then got pregnant again, and by now another organization known as the SCP Foundation got hold of what was going on. They took the brides and based on all the evidence there, they believe an XK world ending event would take place if the women gave birth to the children. To prevent this, the foundation put in a procedure known as 110-montauk. This procedure required them to be raped brutally, to prevent the birth of the children. Ever since the procedure was put in place, six of the seven women were killed, either from the trauma, suicide, birth, or escape attempts. Only one remains, the boy's mother. She has been enduring the trauma of 110-montauk for a very long time, and she is losing her sanity. What the foundation doesn't know is that the king has led them in the wrong direction, which if they keep going, will make it too late to change anything.

Going back to Zephyr, after he was put into the orphanage, he was bullied and abused emotionally and physically. At the age of 5, he ran away. This was when he found by SCP-343. SCP-343 gave Zephyr a chance to be something bigger, to know the truth about his life. He agreed and SCP-343 began training him to fight his father, the Scarlet King. In his training, he discovers his abilities. He can control shadows. He can use them as transportation, fighting, and scouting. He gains these abilities and learns that his father is the Scarlet king. This makes Zephyr even more determined to train, to fight. Zephyr, at the age of 15, finds what the foundation is doing to his mother. Zephyr begs SCP-343 to help him, and reluctantly, the man agrees, believing he is ready. The man gives him the location of his mother and says that he will do all he can to protect Zephyr when he reaches there, but that he will not directly interfere. Zephyr, now ready to put up a fight, heads to the location of the base his mother is being tortured.

Now I stand, at the tip of this mountain in the northern American regions, looking over what looks like a deserted military base. My name is Zephyr, and this is where my story begins. This is where I lead the foundation to the truth.

This is where my introduction ends, and where the action begins.
