Darkness

**Arriving on another Earth, in another time.. the Archangel will try to save his loved one at any cost. But what cost will that end up being?**

## ***The Owl gains new Wings***

Shortly after the Archangels left Earth-2, the wounded Archangel Sariel also tried to pursue them. However, due to his Injuries, he did not manage to get to the exact World his Siblings were in. He crashed down on an unknown World, landing in the middle of a Forest. Sariel was dying. He raised his Hand towards the sky, commanding a Divine Book to appear in his Hand. The Book of Posterum. Desperately he looked through the Pages, trying to figure out a way to save himself. But there was no way. The only way that he could go, was to grab a Soul of someone who has recently died and bring them back to Life. Then, he would have to show the Book to them. If they were to be worthy, they would gain enough Power to compare with an Archangel, so that they could help to stop his Brother Corvus. And so, Sariel reached out to Heaven, grabbing a Random Soul that had just left it's Body. And so, he brought the Soul back to Life. Sariel had grabbed the Soul of a man called Eren Kruger. Appearently he had just died for the greater good, having already sacrificed alot of things in his Life to help his People as much as possible. So as Kruger appeared before Sariel, he was highly confused to how he was alive. But Sariel was barely hanging onto Life, so it had to be quick. Sariel cut his own throat with his Hand, and gave some of his Divine Grace to Kruger. Overwhelmed by the Power that had just entered his Body, Kruger falls to the Ground. But Sariel places the Book of Posterum in his Hands. And in that exact Moment, the Book began to glow. Blacking out, Kruger fell to the Ground and stopped moving. But when he woke up, he found himself at a completely different Place. Seeing that Kruger had teleported himself away, Sariel knew that he had succeeded, and found a worthy Human for the Book. And with that, the Fifth Archangel closed his Eyes and died to his Injuries. When Kruger opened the Book, the Letters were constantly moving around. Letters he had never seen before. But after concentrating on them for a short moment.. They became clear. He was slowly beginning to read the Book. And the further he got.. the more he began to understand. What you ask? The Answer to that is simple. Everything. The Book of Posterum is a Book that reveals the Future to those who read it. However, it has a totally different effect to those who have the Grace of an Archangel within them. Those with the Grace have a different Effect on the Book. They cause it to glow when they first touch it, and that on the other end causes the one who touched the Book to stop aging. And that is only the first Gift the Book will bestow upon them. If they continue to read. they can unravel most Secrets that are hidden deeply in Reality. And with that, their Abilities will grow aswell. To the Point where they can rival an Archangel, which are the most Powerful Beings in the Universe, next to God of course. And so, Eren Kruger continued to read. He read all of it, without leaving a single Page out. With the aquired Knowledge, he was now capable to do whatever he wished to do, without having any Bounds by anyone, unlike the Archangels. However, the Book suddenly disappeared from his Grasp. Another Archangel had summoned the Book. And thanks to his new Abilities, he was able to quickly follow the Book. And as he looked into the Future, he instantly saw that he had to act. As Corvus summoned the Book, Kruger grabbed into his Pocket and got out a Gun. A Gun he had just created with his newly found Powers. A Gun that is able to kill an Archangel. And so he aimed at Corvus, and then fired a shot.. hitting him right in the Chest.

## ***Freedom***

When all Archangels had left Earth-2, and the God of that World was dead, noone was left in Heaven except for normal, lesser Angels. Angels not powerful enough to sense the independing Doom that was heading towards them. Back when the Archangels attacked Liz and Corvus, Liz got a small Scratch on her Arm. And only a single Drop of Blood landed on the Floor. Blood infused with her Dark Energy. People started investigating the Scene at which "Father" was killed, when one of the Humans stepped on the Drop of Blood. It instantly started to absorb the Human, and in a matter of Seconds, it went onto the next. And the next. And the next..

And the more Humans it absorbed.. the more Energy was created. This went on.. and on.. and on. After not even 5 minutes.. the entire Town was empty. Ripped of any Living Being that had ever lived there. When Liz's Energy could not find any Life in the Town, it moved to the next. And to the next. And to the next after that.

After about 7 Hours, all Life on Earth-2 had been completely annihilated. Now having grown beyond control, it started to break it's way into Hell. There, it absorbed Despair and Sorrow like it was nothing. After absorbing all Souls in Hell, it moved to the Section of Heaven that was Guarding Earth-2. After swallowing an entire Section of Heaven.. the Dark Energy moved onto the Core of the Planet, as it was the only Energy left for it to consume..

And as it reached it's Core.. the Planet imploded.

Not only that.. but with that.. The Dark Energy was spread across the Galaxy.. absorbing everything it could get a hold on. Whole other Worlds.. until nothing but the Sun was left. And when it tried to absorb the Sun.. the Sun got unstable and exploded, together with the Dark Energy. This resulted in a massive Explosion. An Explosion massive enough to rival the one that God had caused when creating his first Universe. Such a violent Explosion.. and more than enough of it's Energy happened to hit the Crack in Reality, that was Connecting the Nothingness to whatever was left of Earth-2. At first not even noticing what had happened, Samael turned around to see a Giant Opening in his Prison. For the first time in basically Forever.. Samael was free. As he looked around, he saw what was left of the Universe that was once the Home of Earth-2, the Home of Liz and Corvus. And he saw a tiny Trace of the Dark Energy. With that, he knew exactly what had freed him. And now that he was no longer trapped in that awful Place, he decided to repay the Favour, by helping the being that had freed him. And so, he vanished.

## ***Encounter***

As Eren Kruger fired the shot at Corvus, he was already about to fire a second to finish him off. However, he was pulled back into the Shadows.

Now wounded, Corvus fell to the Ground. Then Sorrow appeared out of the Shadows, and asked Corvus why exactly he had come. She already knew that he would come, but not the specific Reason. But as she saw the Body of a Human Girl, who was almost entirely corrupted by Dark Energy.. she understood.

This Sorrow did originally not have a Sister. She was alone with her Mother Despair. But now that Sorrow laid eyes upon the Corrupted Body of Liz, she felt so familiar with her.. almost as if she was Family. And in that Moment, Corvus looked Sorrow directly into the Eyes, causing Sorrow to suddenly feel extreme Pain, but only for a second. "Ah yes.. you want me to save my Sister."

Even though Despair was very far away, and in another Realm.. she too was suddenly struck by the same Pain.. as her Memories altered completely. From originally only having one Daughter.. she now suddenly had two. Corvus had altered their Memories, to make sure that incase he would die, that Liz would atleast be protected by the two of them. Now that Sorrow understands the Situation, she is willing to help Corvus out to save Liz's Life. However, she could not do it alone. As the Ritual needed to save Liz would have to be performed by a Human. And at this time, around 980 bbc, Humans with enough Intelligence for such an Act are basically not existant. However, that did not stop Corvus. He climbed back out of the Cave he was in, and even though he was very gravely injured.. he made his way through a large Forest Area surrounding the Mountain, to find a Human capable of saving his Love.

As Eren Kruger looks up, he sees a Dark Shadow. Something pulled him out of the Cave.

"Too bad.. my Time in that Prison really messed up my Body. All that is left is my Grace."

Samael's true form had been damaged to the Point where only his Grace remains. And since his Grace is the Grace of Death, it is deadly for any who come near him. But Kruger was different. He was powerful enough to withstand the Grace well enough to not die once it got near him.

Kruger tried to get away from the being he was not able to identify, however Samael was faster.. and stronger.

"I will need a Vessel for now.." he said, as he grabbed onto Kruger. And not a single second later, Samael had taken over the Body of Eren Kruger.

This not only allowed him to freely walk around without killing everyone in his Path, it also allowed him to view Kruger's memories. And since he had looked into the Future before, Samael was clearly able to see exactly what had to happen, in order to save Liz.. who was the Reason for his Prison Break.

First, he needed to find a Certain Human.

After looking for a few minutes, he found a small Village near the Mountain Sorrow's Cave was in, and found a Human who'se Fate would be to create one of the most fearsome Energies in History.

Appearing behind the Human in his Home, he gave him a tiny bit of his own Grace. Just enough to not kill him. And together with it, Knowledge that no other Human posessed at that Time. Having done what had to be done in his Eyes, Samael disappeared.. and started to spectate what was about to happen.

## ***It's alive!***

After a few Hours, Corvus finally managed to find the Village near the Mountain. However, he was way too weak.. and collapsed right before a House.

When he woke up, he was being treated by a man with long blonde Hair, who was maybe 20 years old.

A Human treating a Gunshot wound with such Precision before they were even invented.. Corvus was very confused to what was going on at the Moment. But then he remembered Sorrow's words. Only a very special Human would be able to perform the Ritual needed to save Liz. And a Human who was intelligent enough to not only treat a Gunshot wound, but to also perfectly patch up the Wound with nothing more than a few leaves he found outside, would be more than Special enough in his own Opinion. And so, Corvus got out a Book.

The Book of Posterum.

He handed it to the Human who'se name was Victor Frankenstein, and was shocked when the Book instantly began to glow when it came into Contact with him.

This caused Frankenstein to black out. Worried about what he might have done, thinking that he even might have accidently killed him, Corvus took the Book and left the Village.

Corvus never learned about the True Capabilities of the Book of Posterum, and so Frankenstein only managed get a single gift from the Book.

That he is no longer able to age.

As Corvus arrived back at the Cave, he was utterly depressed, thinking he had failed, and that Liz would now have to die.

Sorrow however calmed him down, saying that the time for her Salvation would soon arrive.

And so, Corvus sat down and waited. Waited, and watched Liz suffer from extreme Pain, caused by her own Ability.

This carried on for many Years. He stopped counting after a while already, but it must have been 300 Years that he spent sitting in that Cave. Her Ability kept Liz alive, but it made her suffer all the more. But then.. Sorrow's Voice, who has not been heard in 300 years, said the Words "It is time to begin the Ritual."

And with that, a hidden Entrance to the Cave opened up. And then, a Human steps inside.

The Human Victor Frankenstein, who has not aged a single Day.

Corvus was confused but at the same time utterly happy, because he thought that Liz would now finally be saved. However.. Sorrow ended up deceiving him.

Because after finishing the Ritual, Liz's Heart stopped beating. Then her Body started to crumble into dust.. and all that was left was her Ability.

Her Body, and most of her Memories had been turned to dust in the Wind.. and Liz has now turned into the "Dark Spear". Now as the Dark Spear began to fill the Cave with her Energy, Sorrow left.

And 3 People entered the Cave.

Mael and Ludociel, who had finally found where their Brother was hiding for all this time.. and Eren Kruger, who was being posessed by Samael. Corvus however.. looked at what was left of the Love of his Life.. and after understanding that he had caused her death much rather than salvation, he closed his Eyes.. and died of a broken Heart.

As for Frankenstein.. he finally made Contact with the Ability of his Creation, and the resulting Fuse between his Body and the Dark Spear, caused all Living Souls within the Cave to be absorbed into Frankenstein. All except for Samael, who was powerful enough to withstand it.

Realising that it was able to think freely on its own, Samael looked at the Dark Spear, who then senses the extend and Origin of Samael's Power. Then, instead of completely fusing with Frankenstein, the Dark Spear rushed out of the Cave.. and disappeared into the Night. And while Frankenstein was knocked out completely, Samael sat down beside him.. and watched over him. As he would do for the next 2000 years, to make sure the Entity that had saved him would return to it's Perfect Host safely.. One Day.
