//I blame it on D, for this. he and his beautiful mind <3. I'll be toying with Tenebrae (the guy featured in the pic) and Lux (my precious love) for a while :) Eventually, when I'm done toying, I'll write a note They are both MINE and story is mine.//
The Son
The All-Mighty, the Merciful, the Dreaded Death, birthed the Darkness. The prince was the most beautiful of Elysium. His skin was pale, almost translucent, his eyes were pitch black and his hair was long and white. Perfect strands framing a perfect face. He was the embodiment of Darkness. Death kept him confined in the End Realm, for fear of his son becoming too powerful to be contained and for fear of him nurturing nefarious ideas against him. There again, how could you kill Death itself? you couldn't. You could trap Death and make him do your bidding but he could not be killed. However, the King refused to be turned into a puppet by his offspring and therefore, since his mother, a mere mortal, died in labor, Tenebras was given to Harpies.
They did a wonderful job in grooming him to become the most trustworthy soldier of the End Realm. He served his father's will with grace but over the millennia, he grew bored of being confined in the End Realm. Walking the Earth taught the youngling that there was more to his existence than the cold walls of the End Realm. He ventured more than once on Earth, using his half-human appearance to blend in better. His good looks were his downfall for he did attract the attention of mortals, sometimes going as far as them worshipping him and killing innocent people in his name. He had to learn how to conceal his true self but just when he did, he met her. Lux. The daughter of Life. He had never seen such beauty walk among men, let alone in the End realm.She was a timeless beauty, delicate and fragile, like life seemed to be at first, but stronger and powerful once you've really taken a hard look at her. Lux exuded power, kindness, strength, and compassion. She was everything the prince wasn't, his exact opposite.
She dismissed him at first because of who he was. What good could the son of Death bring to the daughter of Life? She tested him, resisted him and at first, Tenebrae grew impatient. He tried to make himself seem bigger than she was -and by all means, he was- but she never stepped back. She held her head high, almost teasing him to the point that the prince was starting to grew.. more excited. They would always meet on Earth, always when he would escape from the attention of the Harpies to spend some time with the Light of this World. He realized that in strength there was a weakness, in light there was darkness. She might have been the daughter of Life, there was a sharp edge to her. One that was merciless towards the enemies of her mother, one that was merciless towards her own enemies and one that fiercely protected those she cared about: humans. She was an accomplished warrior and a very cunning leader.
Tenebrae realized that he himself was more complex than he thought. He wasn't pure darkness, he wasn't pure darkness. He wasn't pure evil. He was softer. He was compassionate. he was.merciful and he even went as far as protecting humanity from annihilation. He realized that he changed at her contact but instead of running away like he should have, the prince sought her company furthermore. Eventually, they fought side by side, like true companions but without telling their parents about their relationship. Especially not when the prince and the princess fell in love with each other. It was predictable, and just like any fairytale, Death and Life discovered the truth.They took them away from one another.
Centuries later, Life's home, the Omega Realm (or the realm of all Beginnings) was attacked and Lux went missing while Life was heavily injured and recovering in a protected unknown place. Upon hearing the news, Tenebrae searched everywhere but couldn't find her.Words were said that she died while trying to protect her mother. Grieving and impossible to comfort, the prince decided to overthrow his father while searching for those who killed his beloved. He went on Earth, to visit the keeper of secrets -the only creature who had the knowledge he was looking for- and perceived the faint life force of Lux, trapped on Earth inside a human being. Was she alive? What happened to her?
