***Ever-growing Darkness***

It all started one day in a small village, where a little small and innocent version of Astaroth was doing his normal tasks as any kid would, going to school, cleaning his room and helping his parents. But he felt something was wrong, he heard loud noises out of his house and he rushed to see what happened.

These rulers were unhappy with the effects of such, thus they sent their most powerful warrior to take care of the growing threat, Benedictus, known to be a being made out of pure light.
