Ajuk spat to the floor as the man simply ignored him. What cheek! Of course, he was mumbling to himself as if he was having a strange inner-conflict. People were strange. Before he could stop the man a pain shot through his head and he darted inside the building, with a strange speed. He tripped and fell into the shadows. He was suprised - he expected to hit the floor, but he didnt. He was spat out into another street, through a window. This street was desolate. No buildings save for the one behind him, it was an endless stretch of desert. The wind howled.
'This was an ocean...' he whispered to himself, and then looked down. Fear struck into his heart. There were monsters lying everywhere. Littering the floor. Their bodies twitched and they began to rise, but they didn't attack. They stood, as if waiting for something. The dirt blasted up as a strange beast flew upwards from the ground. It was like a man, but with wings and no arms - a tail instead of legs. As if by some strange instinct he knew they were called 'Dragonflies'.
Ajuk slowly walked towards one of the monsters, pale, it's body torn. It was once human, and now it was an unthinking beast. A voice spoke from behind him, causing him to turn fast:
"They won't hurt you. They know what you are." The voice was deep, and hoarse.
"W-who said that?" He replied, and as if out of nowhere a being came forth.
It carried a long staff that was topped with an orange orb. It was tall, and extremely thin, as well as pale. It's face was long like a dogs, and it's eyes bright yellow. Around it's neck it bore a large golden necklace that was decorated with fine medallions and trinkets.
"who are you?" Ajuk asked,
"I have many names, in many tongues. Many know me as Anubis. Though this is not my true name, it is one I am comfortable with. It is one that is respected."
"I think my name is--"
"Your name is Ajuk. You are not a man, nor a monster. You are far worse... You bear great power, and shall lead our demonic armies to abolish the human plague. That is your destiny. That is why you were born. Your brothers and sisters may not join us... You will kill them if they defend those worthless humans."
"Why should I join you? Those humans helped me!"
"Helped you?! They were planning to turn you in to their leaders, to experiment and test you! To turn you into nothing more than an animal! Then, when they were done with you - They would kill you!"
"how do you know this?" Ajuk felt a strange feeling in his heart. A warm trust. His first emotion that he enjoyed.
"I know because it is in their nature to do so. They have done it a thousand times before. They take gifts, and destroy them. Come, I want you to meet our lord. Our father." With those words Anubis grabbed Ajuk's arm and they disappeared with a quick THMMP, a move that tossed the dirt below them as they vanished.
They reappeared, surrounded by desert, and before them a man sitting cross-legged on the sand, his back turned to them. Anubis bowed down on one knee and motioned Ajuk to move forward, and he did.
"hello?" He asked, hesitantly.
"Hi." the man replied. At least he thought it was a man. The man wore barely any clothing. Around his neck he wore a long, red, torn up scarf, and black trousers. He had bushy black hair that seemed to have a hint of red to it. "Do you know who I am?"
"Nope..." Ajuk said,
"I made you. Around here there are many demons. Those fast, weak ones are stalkers - but you already knew that. There are others, too." ajuk sat down next to him, the man's face was calm and happy, "The most powerful ones are ones like me. True demons. Created from nothingness, born into nothingness, and tasked with building everything that made this world beautiful. There were only a few of us - so we wanted to see if we could use our power to create more. We made the perfect enviroment for life to flourish, and it did. After thousands of years, man came to be. We loved him, and he worshiped us. Everything was fine until he started to become too powerful and destroy the earth. They were killing it..." A small tear rolled down the demon's face, "so, we found a way to burst into their plane of existence, and stop them. Somehow they still live... they hide somewhere. I made you and a few others to wipe them out. You're the first one i've found. The truth is, there's another demon out there. One who cared for the humans. He made others - like you - just as i did. They will try and save the humans. Please, my child, do the right thing."
"I don't even know your name..."
The demon stood, and whispered, "Lucifer." He disappeared, and after a few seconds, Ajuk was back in the city. He was on a rooftop, and when he looked down to the street, he saw a small figure jumping into a manhole.
Then something strange happened.
It came like a comet.
He new things. And he knew why. Lucifer had somehow 'implanted' knowledge into his mind, filling it with everything he knew. It was as if their minds were linked. Ajuk smirked, his arm turned black and clawed.
"I think this might be fun..."
And on the first day Man created God in his own image.
