"Tell me Sauron, do you know your origins?" asked Vicious.
"I'm eternal, that's all I need to know," said Sauron.
"Oh, but I think you'd be quite interested in hearing it…Sister," grinned Vicious.
Sauron's eyes widened. "What did you just call me?" she growled.
"In a pivotal moment, billions of years ago, a Maltusian named Krona used time-bending technology to observe the beginning of the Universe. This had multiple consequences. First, was the creation of the Multiverse. Billions upon billions of worlds created simultaneously. And second…was the creation of the Great Darkness. Our father…The Dahaka. And out of that Darkness came the Proemial Demons. The first Destroyers. Our eldest brother, Tenebrous of the Darkness, father's personal favorite. Then Diableri the Chaotic, bringer of chaos. Then of course…there was me. Vicious, He Who is Full of Vice. Then there was our sister, Aegis, Lady of the All Sorrows, bringer of despair, and her twin sister Maeshia, Queen of Horrors. And lastly…there was you. Sauron, the Devourer."
"You mean to tell me that you and I are…" Sauron trailed off, unable to believe that she and Vicious were siblings.
"Of course, then we had the first Cosmic War. Think sibling rivalry at its worst. On one side, Maeshia, you and I, and on the other, our brothers and sister. The first to fall was Diableri. Even the Demon of Chaos can't survive getting his head removed and then having his spirit absorbed. Then you devoured Aegis, which led to your preference to feminine appearances, and when she outlived her usefulness, Maeshia. Of course, even with our sisters, you bit off more than you could chew when you went after Tenebrous. He sealed you into that mask you are now forced to have on you at all times. In the end, I sealed Tenebrous within the place between the Bleed and the Anti-Matter Universe, known simply as The Void."
Sauron noted that her mask was important, but she never knew it had been THAT important. "OK, so how come I ended up inside a human? Answer that."
Vicious did answer that, "I knew one day you'd return to try and finish me off...so I took your mask, and sealed you away even further...into an unborn human child, stripping you of your memories in the process."
Sauron noted how that made sense. She was like Yaminekoryu. She had been bound to a physical form and had only regained her sentience through her last host. "So, are you going to kill me now? Finish the job, dear brother?"
Vicious smiled that twisted smile of his. "Of course not, sister. Not while you're still of use to me at least. Just like you won't try to kill me as long as I am of use to you."
That was true. As long as someone proved useful to her, she would not kill them. Still, this revelation shocked her. Had she lost all her demonic memories after being sealed away for so long?
