Description

At last, the creator of the Devourer race has been revealed~! And here's the excerpt of the rp where she finally awakens. The context you need to know for this is that Willow, Lydi, Junior, Cell, Broly, Samuel and Paragus are all discussing the Devourer's creation at the breakfast table when the plot suddenly thickens:

Read it and enjoy~!

------------

Willow merely shrugged as she brought her attention back to eating- happily munching away on multiple strips of bacon.

After a moment more of thought, however, she rapidly swallowed as she shot a glance to Lydi. "That reminds me! We still haven't figured out our purpose, either! Or...in the very least...who made us..."

------------------------------

Broly: "Well, who knows? Perhaps that, too, will be revealed in time."

------------------------------

Lydi and Samuel both silently shared a glance. Neither of the two honestly knew a thing about the topic..though it was Samuel's lack of knowledge that was fairly disturbing to consider.

Samuel sighed as he continued, "Indeed. That is a question that has plagued all of us... especially Lydi and Willow."

Willow placed her chin on a sleeve as she looked down in thought. "I would imagine that whatever it was certainly wasn't a mortal by any means. Probably a goddess or god..."

She was interrupted however, as Lydi made a noise, "If that is true...then the Kais have NEVER mentioned them. Not even Sacrosanct has ever spoken of them. You'd think that the goddess who once committed mass genocide against our kind would want the person responsible for our creation dead, too."

-----------------------------

Cell: "Well, if your creator was a divine being as well, perhaps she tried, but did not succeed. After all, though two gods would be somewhat evenly matched, it would not be an easy feat to actually "kill" a god, now would it?"

-----------------------------

Lydi nodded as she eyed her husband. "That certainly is correct...though that wouldn't explain this impossibly long period of inactivity that followed our species' creation..."

She sighed as she looked down and then to Willow, "Willow's younger than I, but only by a couple millennia...yet, she's the youngest demon I know..."

She sighed as she waved a hand in the air, "Then there's the fact of our spontaneous emergence into existence...Willow came to be out of a gruesome and catastrophic war - I came to be out of a far more peaceful event in comparison- what with the brutal murder of an alien child."

She sighed as she looked to Cell and the others. "In both times, our appearances and emergence into existence were utterly spontaneous-and as a direct result of violence and hatred."

-------------------------------

Paragus: "Interesting... and no other demons have emerged since... well, since the event?"

--------------------------------

Lydi sent a glance towards Willow before both shook their heads firmly. "Not that we know of."

---------------------------------

Cell: “Hmm... well, perhaps this is a mystery we'll be able to solve one day. But, for the moment, I think we should focus on the present. Which reminds me... does anyone know the date?”

---------------------------------

Lydi looked at her husband as though had grown a second head, "Why it's February 11th, dear...how could you have forgotten so quickly?"

Willow snickered as she took another large bite of bacon. "So three more days till the day of "love?"..I call all the pink candy hearts! They taste the best.”

-----------------------

Junior: “Hehe, yeah, they're pretty great... I just wish they printed the little messages in braille, so you could read them.”

Broly: “I just hope that Majin doesn't get into the chocolate when nobody's looking. You can never tell, with him…”

----------------------------

Willow looked up with a dreamy expression as she imagined the delicious flavor of chocolate covered cherries. "Mmmm...he'd better not, or I'll fill his mouth with bugs again."

"After what Buu pulled on Halloween, I still have yet to fully forgive him. The jerk ate EVERYTHING!!!"

----------------------------

Paragus: *laughs* "Well, I suppose next time he'll think twice, won't he?"

Junior: "As long as I've known him, he probably won't even think ONCE. I swear, he never learns his lesson..."

----------------------------

Willow groaned as she threw her sleeves up in frustration, "NO KIDDING! He's even worse than me!"

"And not to mention the fact that he-!" Willow cut off mid-sentence as her body suddenly went rigid-as if someone had pressed the pause button.

----------------------------

Junior: “...Willow? Something wrong?”

---------------------------

If Willow had heard Junior's question...she didn't show it. She remained in that frozen position, her mouth hung agape - before she suddenly collapsed on the ground in a twitching fit. Unintelligible garbles escaped her lips as she erratically convulsed on the floor.

Lydi gasped as she immediately rose up to go to Willow's aide...when she suddenly froze too. "Wh-what the-?" She barely managed the weak question before her eyes blazed a bright crimson. "U-urgh..."

Without another word, Lydi collapsed as well, her body wracked with horrific convulsions as Samuel looked on in horror and shock.

Before Samuel could lift a finger to do anything, however, he broke off with an agonized cry of his own. His eyes blazed with pain as he suddenly clutched at his arm that possessed the scar from Lydi's bite. The limb felt as though it had suddenly been doused in hell-fire. Tears of pain welled up in his eyes as he sent a fervent glance towards the others, Cell in particular. His voice was thin as he barely managed his next question. “A-are you feeling this too?”

No sooner had Samuel's words passed his lips than when an impossible pain manifested in the area where Cell's scar had been placed so many years ago- it felt as though the blackened veins were attempting to dig themselves into his soul.

------------------------

Cell: “A-aaargh!! What... what is this?! AAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!”

Junior: “Willow?! Mom, dad, grandpa..?! What's going on?!”

-------------------------

As all of them convulsed in pain- a sudden and brief image was sent through all of their minds. The vision was hazy and distorted at first...but soon enough a face came into view. It was strangely beautiful, feminine even, yet was completely void of all expression- almost as if it were sleeping. The entity's skin tone was a sickly gray-and it was noticeable that four blackened streaks ran down its cheeks from what could be assumed were its eyes. These streaks seemed to color over beautifully intricate tattoos that wove their way up her neck and right cheek. Slowly, each of the four eyes opened to reveal white soulless orbs that conveyed a sense of comfort and familiarity to the two demons - and a look of utter disgust towards both Cell and Samuel that brought about a sense of unease to the two amidst their suffering.

As the mysterious entity continued to stare deeply into the four's minds, a voice spoke - one that shook with quiet rage in Cell and Samuel's mind - and simultaneously spoke with the most matronly of tones to Willow and Lydi. It was noticeable that the entity spoke freely despite the absence of a mouth - as the smooth layer of skin covering the area where the orifice would normally be remained completely undisturbed.

Each of the four heard a different message. To Cell, the entity said this, "You, selfish mortal, have manipulated my precious child into abandoning her true nature in order to confine to your own wishes and desires. For that, you shall pay dearly."

To Samuel, the entity spat, "You, disgraceful mortal, have once served my enemy, Sacrosanct, and have killed many of my children at her beck and call. You've restrained and oppressed one of my last few surviving children for your own purposes, and forced your own ideals of purity and righteousness upon her in exchange for her own right to live. To make matters worse, you've even betrayed your own goddess once you'd gained her powers and used my child to satisfy your own vigilante purposes. For your crimes against me and my children, I will make you suffer as they did."

To Lydi, she murmured softly, her eyes welling with emotion, "Fear not, my child, I understand that your life has been one of utmost confusion, agony, and turmoil. I deeply regret not being there to witness your birth - and not being able to provide you with the one thing all of creation shares in save for you. I've wept from my own inability to help you and your kind as you'd all suffered - but you must understand that I was incapable of providing you with such a beautiful gift. It brings me great consolation to see that you are complete and perfect now. It pains me, however, to see you so helpless and confined to these mortals’ whims-so much so that you once betrayed your own brethren to serve a traitor. I shall free you from your bonds soon- my child, so you need not suffer any longer."

To Willow, her eyes were overwhelmed with a deep sense of regret, "Willow. My dear, dear child...How you've grown - even with your vast differences and cancerous affiliation with light." The image for Willow changed to reveal one of her many thin dark arms, though the arm she revealed to Willow was noticeably damaged. The limb itself ended in a stump that had an iridescent ribbon wrapping tightly around it and flowing from the stump.

Willow's eyes widened as tears began to well up in her eyes. The image quickly switched back to the entity's face as she continued, "You were my last child..my most unique creation...and undoubtedly the most agonizing for me to create. It is true that I had to sacrifice one of my many hands to form you - but every ounce of pain from my efforts was worth it. You are very special, dear, whether you realize it or not. I understand that your differences alienated you from your friend...and even made you feel like a disgrace to your kind. You were my first true attempt at merging light and darkness..and you've conquered over and endured having such a contradictory nature. In the end, it was you who'd survived the scourge of Sacrosanct...and it is you who've proven time and time again that darkness can be just as good as light-if not better."

The entity's eyes seemed to crinkle slightly, as though she were amused, "I know a mother should not have favorites...but I'm afraid that you were are the child I favored most in my slumber. I've been watching over you carefully, Willow...and I will free you to realize your true potential soon enough."

"I love you dearly, do not forget this." In reality, tears slipped down Willow's face even as her expression began to twist with an agonized understanding. "O-ok..." she shakily whispered in the real world.

With that, the pain and visions abruptly left each individual, with the entity's parting words being, "At last, I...Caliginosity, have awoken...and I shall right the wrongs that have been committed in my absence..."
