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.
"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.
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.
