Tendrils of darkness billowed all around his form, he had not been in a mortal shell for quite some time. There were so many things that he could have done, could have accomplished, yet he did not do any of those things as interesting as they were. He had been busy watching over several other existences at the behest of Those Five, it had taken him twenty-one long years, of this existence' timeline, for his tenure as overseer of those existences to expire. Twenty-one long years since his wife had left him after he had confessed to her that he was not human, had at one time perhaps but not for a terribly long time.

There came a time in his life, as a human, that he had finally lost his fears, nothing scared him anymore not even death or the prospect of never seeing his relatives and friends ever again. Nothing phased him, and that was when one of Them came for him and offered him a deal, an option seeing as his life had grown quite boring since the slight fear of anything made life more interesting.

He was given a choice, just like so many others before him. Start over and never be the same again, or continue living the same existence til death. He chose wisely and chose to start over in a manner of speaking. He did not die per se, he simply ceased living. His mortality was halted and he was elevated to a position of great power and responsibility, one simlar to what three three others could consider themselves as among. There was Contristo Acerbus, the anthropomorphic personification and representation of Death. There was Magus Iunctio, Magic himself. There was also Har or Aetas, Supreme Being of his own existence, his own world, and at the same time Time himself.

The choice was made, and he was elevated to the position of one like the above mentioned three Beings. They were Unique Beings, Higher Powers of a different sort. They were the Primordial Elements themselves, they were the existential make up of Imagination itself. He added to the list of those that had once been mere mortals and were changed at some point in their lives to something even greater than the gods.

He had chosen.

He was Fear.

And he had grown bored, it was only through sheer boredom that he remembered that he had helped in the creation of new life in this world he now once again found himself in. He had a child, it was difficult for him to fathom after being away for so many years, while it may have been only twenty-one years for his daughter, it was close to an eternity for him. Time varied depending on where one was, when one was, and in how many places one was at any given moment. At the moment he was everywhere, he was always everywhere. He was Fear himself.

He had come back to this world to see his daughter whom he thought probably didn't remember him as he was separated from her when she was only five years old.

He had mostly been attracted to this world, and had decided to call it home due to the sheer amount of himself that was being used daily, the sheer amount of phobias, fears, worries, and whatnot, in the world. While there were other alternate ones, he had chosen this one, why? He didn't even know the answer to that himself. He just chose this one world, this one existence, where night and day lived side by side with only a few of the day aspect, of the white aspect knowing about, and believing in the existence, the true existence of the night aspect of the world.

He appeared in the only land mass that was really interesting to him, well Asia was the only continent that he really liked, especially after getting fed up with Europe and slightly by relation the Americas and Australia, Africa was ok but not interesting enough for him. He was in Japan, and he had a daughter to find.

Finding her eventually became a problem even for one such as him, since he had learned a long time ago to be like Joe Black and had other parts of himself perform his responsibilities, his core form wasn't omniscent all of the time. Most of the time, he tried to continue being like everyone else, just that he was also nigh omnipotent all of the time and couldn't really just shut that part off or tune it out of his system for a few minutes or something to that effect.

As he couldn't even remember what his daughter was afraid of, he had a lot of normal way of searching for a person to do, and there was a whole lot of ground to cover. He was lucky to even still have a picture of his daughter, sure it was of her when she was still five years old, but at least he had something that could help him find her aside from her name that could have changed as she could have actually gotten married at some point in her life.

He sought out the aid of the authorities, but after two months of searching he decided that perhaps the human aspect of the world wasn't really the way to go. His daughter had an untapped potential which he had locked away within her, a hereditary trait or power that she could have gotten from him. It was the ability to create monsters from out of shadow and darkness, she was also a kind of battery for fear, her very presence could strengthen the power of monsters in the world.

Very few of the demons, spirits, ghosts, deities, and the few kami that he came by, were of any help, none of them recognized his daughter nor knew of the name she went by. It was rather troubling for him to find out that two of the realm in the world were not very helpful to him. But there was something good that came from his quest, he gained a kind of following.

A member of the Inugami species decided to follow him after it felt stronger just by being pat on the head by him, he could even turn into a corporeal dog that humans could see with no problem at all with him. It was surreal for him to be able to be a real dog again while at the same time having a human form, and a wolf form with a detachable head too.
