Dark Herald
The new dark essence continued to absorb the objective preternatural insight.
Now reconciled fully, the Darkness and God moved on to share insights on the demise of one known as Death. This primordial being had been as powerful as the combined power of those more commonly known as the Archangels. However, for all his power, this winged one's very own weapon and one impulsive human had done him in.
Death had to be replaced, but by a more powerful and wingless being, one who could not be banished or bound except by the two divine entities, and one whose life force could not be extinguished by an inanimate weapon. For this replacement to succeed, one mightier than four or more times the most powerful Archangel had to be created. For this replacement to have that much power, the being had to emerge from the abundant primordial basis of dark matter. For this replacement's life force to not be extinguished except by the two divine entities, part of it had to be dispersed from the onset into the very fabric of the primordial basis of dark matter.
With such emergence, the being would be able to fulfill another purpose: distracting the Archangels, and perhaps other beings of lesser power, from resuming their combat and trickery against its dark creator. With all that power at its disposal, the being would be more than capable of not just distracting them, but dominating them. Thus, it was resolved to create the Lesser Darkness, the Dark Herald.
As other aspects of the insight were absorbed, the lesser dark cloud and feminine entity identified the Darkness as her mother and God as her uncle. She observed the former assume a human female form and the latter assume a human male form. The thought of mimicking them crossed her mind.
The new dark essence then followed suit, imitating her mother to the point of assuming the same adult female form as hers. Afterwards, she summoned her first words.
"Mother… Uncle…" she uttered.
"My creation is good," her mother smiled.
The Lesser Darkness perceived instantly the pride that the oldest, strongest entity, her dark creator, had in this belated creation.
